How to boost engagement of your blog for good?

How to boost engagement of your blog?

So you are publishing blog post after blog post. You get some traffic, but that’s it. Nothing else happens!

No sales; no subscriptions; no affiliate sales; no email opens; nothing!

Now that’s heartbreaking isn’t? Really, really heartbreaking.

And, it doesn’t matter whether you get a trickle of traffic or really good traffic. All that matters is engagement.

That might be a very bold statement. But I am not taking it back.

Traffic is of no use without engagement. Which is why we all talk about targeted traffic.

Pointless traffic that comprises of people who just come to your site, stay for a few seconds (or not!) … [Read more...]

6 Unique Ways to Improve the Conversion Rate in Affiliate Marketing

Please, admit it. We want Affiliate Sales.

Back in 2014, when I was promoting an online marketing toolkit on my personal blog, I wasn't getting affiliate sales---I spend first four weeks on creating content, sharing it on social media and telling people about it.

So you want to grow your blog. You know you have to publish content consistently in order to gain traction.

You need to create landing pages and squeeze pages for getting sign ups. You need to create products and product sales pages.

Writing is involved in every bit of work you do as a blogger.

Consistent Blogging: How to blog regularly?

How-to-blog-regularly

I have been blogging since 2010 and my family members are very much aware of my mindset.

It is heartbreaking isn’t?

You always seem to have clear, precise goals.

You wonder why you are not able to anything similar - heck, even consistently publishing content on your blog is a challenging thing for you.

15 Good Habits (and attributes) that will transform your blog this year

15-Good-Habits--that-will-transform-your-blog-this-year

A New Year is a new start; whether you see it that way or not. You unfold something new. You have a block of something fresh ahead of you!

Entering a New Year is like starting something fresh. Usually the enthusiasm is pumped up. All motivated. All is well. Until the end of January; or perhaps until the end of the second week of January.

And then every day is just like any other day, as it used to be a couple of weeks before.

Many people let years slip through their fingers without taking the days seriously. While every New Year is like a fresh diary given to us, it also indirectly reminds us that we have used up another year in our lifetime and have gone to the next.

It is said that we should live our life as if today is the last day. It is true. What if all you have is this year? What if all you have is just today?

I’m not scaring you here - but we have to … [Read more...]
