Premium Commentluv plugin - There's much hype about it all over the place. You know that already.

Some of you are really excited about its arrival and expect the launch date to buy the premium plugin right away.

However some others ask me "Why the hype?", "Why is everyone promoting this plugin?", "Is it worth the money?", "I'm so happy with the free version, why buy the premium Commentluv?" and so on.

Well this post is just for you, if you're in the second category.

I am sure that more than 90% of the bloggers who use the default Wordpress commenting system are using Commentluv plugin. … [Read more...]

UPDATE: I now have a different opinion on the Blog Engage premium membership service. I'm no longer part of the service. I explain my opinion in detail in this post: Blog Engage: Why I Cancelled My Premium RSS Syndication You're free to try this service, just that I'm not endorsing it any more. The discussion about Blog Engage at this post is not deleted to respect the comments.

Content marketing is very important when it comes to marketing your blog or service. Talking to people through your content is what content marketing is about.

If you manage to get into people's head and heart because of your content, your content marketing strategy has won. It is an art. You should sell without selling.

If your content marketing strategy is efficient, you don't have to work hard on convincing people to buy from yourself - it happens … [Read more...]

Blogging is not easy-peasy or get rich quick. I know its not a great way to open a blog post on a blog which talks about blogging tips. But I don't want to sugar coat my posts and give you a fake feel about all the stuff going on in the blogosphere.

Blogging Success is not a joke either.

Just like any other job, you have to work hard and smart to earn your pennies. From my personal experience, I must say that the shoot up, or the time that takes to pick up momentum and eventually to taste the tip of success is much longer compared to a day job, where you're paid from month 1 or day 1.

But then, I am not de-motivating all of you aspiring bloggers. I just want to spill the beans. There are so called mistakes or myths as with starting any business.

You try, fail and then try something else, … [Read more...]

I am so excited and thrilled to present my first premium e-book "Blogging Action Plan". It is here for you after I started working on it 6 months ago. I did the first round for 2 months and there was a break for 2 months when I didn't touch the book and then again 2 months on finishing it.

So it took me 4 months of actual working (few hours per week) to finish and present this book to you. And I am so happy to launch the book just after the blog has turned 1. Yup Problogging Success just celebrated its first birthday, if you don't know that already.

So what's in the book?

The book will essentially touch two of the biggest and most important aspects of blogging for business -

• Identifying your blogging … [Read more...]

Just to clear things a bit right from the start, by this niche I mean the blogging, making money online, Internet marketing niche(s). Yes, assuming you will put in the same amount of work, this niche will earn you less that pretty much any other niche out there that is not addressing an Internet guru audience.

Here is why.

The competition

Getting traffic in this niche is much harder than it is in other niches. I tested this a while back and the results were astonishing. At least for me they were. I knew that the blogging niche was very competitive, because everybody in it is good at blogging, promoting, SEO and so on; but I did not know it was that competitive to successfully run a blogging blog or an internet marketing blog.

Guest posting is an awesome and a win-win thing where both the host and guest bloggers are gietting many benefits, like traffic, exposure, content, promotion, SEO benefits and so on.

But it seems to me (and other blogging friends of mine) that spammers make use of this awesome tool.

Read the guidelines/rules

This one is a no-brainer isn't? And a great time saver too! It could take you 1-2 minutes to read the guidelines to guest post on a blog. But if you are lazy or careless and just jump in and submit a guest post without reading it, you are wasting the time of host blogger and yours too.

If you miss an important rule, these are what could happen:

1. Your post could be rejected just right off the bat. Of course you spent time to submit it to that blog (registering, filling up profile information, … [Read more...]
