An online presence is important these days for whatever enterprise you engage in. to connect with a wide variety of people there is no bigger forum than the Internet. If you are looking for a way to show off your expertise and also make a little money while doing it, consider starting a blog.

What is a Blog?

A blog is actually an online journal of sorts. With a blog you can upload daily posts about anything that you want. Some people create personal blogs as a way to keep in touch with family members. Pictures, videos and other information are uploaded so your loved ones are current with what is going on with you.

Here we are going to talk about business blogs. This is a blog that you begin to attract traffic in order to sell products or services. To be interesting to others, your blog will need to:

•    Have updated content for visitors
•    Be marketed to draw traffic
•    Register with search engines so it can be found in the rankings

How to Start

If you are new to blogging, use a free blogging platform to get your feet wet. Sites like Blogger.com, Wordpress.org, Blogspot.com and others offer free blogs to users. Depending on the site you choose, the themes and plug-ins (added features) will vary. Most will walk you through the process step by step so that you can be up and running in no time.

Before you start posting, decide what will be the theme, or niche of your blog. A jack-of-all-trades type of blog doesn’t do as well as one that is geared towards a certain niche. If you like crafts, that can be your niche. Create posts that talk about how to craft, what to craft, how to make crafting profitable and so on. Once you have decided on a path, it is time to create that great content.

How to Make Money

In order to make money with your blog, you need to have people visiting it. That is where marketing comes in. to draw traffic you have to get the word out about your blog. Tell all of your friends and family members that you are online with your blog for a start.

Any money-making venture will take place once you have built your readership with interesting posts. Then you can put into play a number of profitable additions:

•    Google AdSense

The simplest one to pursue is Google AdSense. You are using targeted advertisements to create revenue for your blog. You are paid per clicks on the ads.

There are other options where you can get paid when someone makes a sale on that website. That is more likely to happen when you join an affiliate program. Join affiliate program that work well with your website niche.

EBooks are short downloadable electronic books that you can create yourself and sell on your website. They can be on a variety of subjects but in order for them to sell, you must be able to offer new information to your customers.

However, you can expect another theme change in the not so far away future. I’m looking for a more permanent theme and will be looking to hire a theme designer to get my own unique theme.

When Mike asked me to read his free report about Twitter, I said yes, of course, but with very low expectations. After all, we all know the quality of a free report, don’t we?

So to say the least, I was very positively surprised by Mike’s report, and I’m only a little bit sad that he still intends to give it away for free, because people risk thinking like I did that free = rubbish! And in this case, Mike actually serve you high quality contents that can make you gold. In fact, if you use what is written in this report, and you don’t get a lot of traffic to your site, you should play the Lotto. These odds are rare.

I have a niche Twitter account, written under a pen name, and I didn’t really know what to write there. Now I do. Thanks to Mike’s report, I now know exactly what to do, where to start, what to write, and when. I will start immediately to put this plan into action.

Thanks, Mike! Your report is a work of genius!

It would be a huge understatement to say that I wasn’t shocked by her kind words. I ws planning on releasing it today, but she had a few questions about things in the report so I have decided to spend some time clarifying those issues. That’s the main reason it’s always a good idea to have someone else read through your material. Some things that may seem blatantly obvious to you won’t be for others. In the end it’s all about getting something out there that is as good as humanly possible without postponing it forever.

I expect to spend the next couple of days going through her questions and then release the report on Sunday or on Monday depending on the weekend schedule.

The future of NetScribePro is at least 3 IM related posts each week and a new free report at least every two weeks. I’m trying to balance my ambitions with what’s reasonably possible. I feel this plan will do just that. If you check out the free reports page you will notice that there are no reports yet. That will change in a few days as I’m currently putting the finishing touches on my free Twitter traffic report.

These free reports will be short and sweet. There’s no need to force you to read through 100+ pages if I can give you all you need in 7 pages right?

The basic idea behind these reports is that I will spend some time gathering information about a specific topic and then put the main strategies together in a report you will be able to get just by signing up for my list. After you have signed up you will automatically be notified every time a new report is released.

You can’t sign up yet, but if this sounds like something you really need to get your hands on check in on this blog later in the week. You can also follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/mikehnielsen I’ll be sure to post a tweet when the report is available.

Time management to the rescue?

Well, if I was any good at it. So time to start educating myself, and if you’re in the same bad situation, I guess this is a good time to educate yourself as well. I found a free e-book called “Time Management for Creative People” by Mark McGuinness. I’ve skimmed through it a couple of times and I have already been able to extract a couple of very good pointers. Something I can start applying right now!

Mainly, I’m going to start taking a hard look at what tasks I end up prioritizing, and I’m going to set aside a couple of hours as “me time”, but it’s not all done with that. I will have to throuroughly read through the book and take all the advice, I can from it.

If you have the same issues, I can only encourage you to do the same. It’s totally free and there is no opt-in or anything like that. So go read it and enjoy.

I have to be brutally honest here. I didn’t know about his past when I purchased the Get Money From Google system and I’m very glad I didn’t! If I had known I might not have purchased it and that would have been a freaking disaster!

This is by far the best value I have ever gotten on a product and I’m confident that it will make me a lot of money in the future. The great thing about this is that you get the chance to be the judge of that.

As for the morality of supporting a man who has been convicted of a crime? Well, my point of view is that when you’ve been convicted and have faced your punishment that’s it for me. I for one wont hesitate to pick up another Perry Belcher product if it looks as good as this one. I have seen a lot of angry people write a lot of bad things about him and they may or may not have good reason to do so. However, as long as my personal experiences remain good I will have no reason not to trust him.

P.S.: Fro now I’m thinking that it’s best to steer clear of topics that are related to health issues though

If you’ve been a regular visitor for a while you will have noticed some fluctuations in the design of www.netscribepro.com. Well, the good news is that I’ve settled on a design. I can’t guarantee that there won’t be any minor changes in the near future. I’m still tinkering a bit with the details, but you can expect the site look as it does right now for quite a while.

One of the main reasons for the design change is a change of focus for the site. I’ve decided to jump in to the exciting word of selling services. In this case writing services.

That’s right! You can now hire me to write articles or even reports for you. On the front page you can see what my current rates are. Should you decide that you want to hire me you can drop me a mail at writing@netscribepro.com. In the days to come I will be making my portfolio available from the site. I’m not quite happy about the way it presents itself just yet.

Don’t worry about the blog though. I will continue to add new content on a regular basis.

Loss Of Focus

Loss of focus usually happens if you have more than one project open at any given time. What usually happens to me is that I get an idea, then I start working on the idea, then I get an even better idea and start working on that. Now it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what happens next, and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s the usual result of my projects.

I have a lot of half finished products lying around on my computer!

So, it still happens, but I have to say that I’ve found a couple of ways to harness my creativity in a way that allows me to actually finish some of my projects. Having said that I’d do still have a tendency to drift. I’ve learned to live with that though, and I try to get the most out of it.

So, let’s talk a bit about what you can do to control your creativity.

Controlling Your Creativity

We want to control our creativity, without extinguishing it. At least for me, creativity is the main source of my income. So, if creativity is such an important part of my livelihood, I want to make sure that I don’t smother it.

What you want to do is aim all that creativity towards a very specific goal. One of the ways to do that is to use mind maps like, we’ve talked about earlier on NetScribePro. Now I can’t speak too highly of mind maps. I tell you I love using mind maps. They are an excellent way to focus your creativity. However, if you don’t like using mind maps don’t, find some other way to harness your creativity. Just make sure that you find a method that works for you and allows you to control your creativity.

Re-Focusing Your Efforts

Using mind maps isn’t the only thing I’ve done to refocus my creativity. Now I know better than to try to limit myself to one project that simply isn’t going to work.

My passion is writing, and I’m a software developer by trade. I’m telling you that because that means I get a lot of different ideas for products and projects.

So instead of limiting myself to one project I’ve limited myself to one project of each type. Therefore, at any given time I can work on these different types of projects, but I can’t work on any more than one project of each type. The project types I allow myself to work on are:

1: software projects
2: website projects, including blogs
3: reports or e-books
4: articles or blog posts.

So as you can see I’m giving myself a lot of different options, but the rule is that once I’ve started a project of the given type. I have to finish it before starting another project of the same type.

Getting The Job Done

I do that, because without finishing any of my projects, I’m not, make any money. And if I don’t make any money off my projects well then I’m going to have to figure out what else to do. You see these projects are the key to making a living online.

Your projects on my case my projects are the key to independence, financially and otherwise. If you don’t manage to finish any of them, then you won’t gain that the independence.

Remember how I promised you some great article writing content?

It’s coming, I just have to do the voiceover for the video. A video that turned out to be more than 26 minutes of hard hitting article writing advice. However, I’m a video n00b so I’m still struggling a bit with the technical details of it. More specifically the voiceover and compressing it for the web.

I’m certain that I’ll be able to post the video later today!
