Marketing Your Blog Offline

If you have a blog you are probably looking for ways to market that blog. The first things that probably come to mind are how can you do this online. There are also a lot of ebooks and other blogs out there telling you exactly how to market your blog online. There is everything from article marketing to posting in forums. What a lot of people don’t think of is there is another way to market that not many people are even considering doing that you can take full advantage of right now. images-cardYou can market your blog offline too. There are some very simple yet, not talked about ways ( from what I’ve seen anyway) too market and advertise your blog offline and be very effective.  So, what are some of these methods you may ask, well here they are:

  1. Conventions or Conferences: If you see any of these two things taking place in your area it would be a very smart thing for you to attend. When you get there you may find that your one of the few with promotion of your blog or product in mind. You could even have a shirt printed with your blog URL on it.
  2. Business Cards: This may seem like a no brainer, but how many people do you see doing this or talking about it for that matter? The great thing about business cards is you can virtually hand them out anywhere and to almost anybody. One thing you should keep in mind if your going to have some printed up is make sure they stand out and catch the eye. I have even seen business’s that have a board or a place specifically for people to post their business cards. Hell, throw them up in the air and let the wind catch them. ( Just kidding, don’t do this please.)
  3. Postcards: You could have some eye catching post cards printed up and either pay to have them mailed out or mail them out yourself. The good thing about post cards is they don’t have to be opened and people will more than likely just throw them over by their computer were it can grab their attention.
  4. Blogger Meet Ups: If there are any of these in your area I would take full advantage of showing up. Meeting up with other bloggers is a great way to make new connections and potential promoters for your blog.
  5. Stickers: This is another great way to advertise your website or blog. You can put one on your car or I just recently read about a guy who brought some stickers to a gathering he attended and the ended up everywhere, on people and in pictures.
  6. Offline Newsletters
  7. Flyer’s
  8. Newspaper Ads
  9. Yellow Pages
  10. Radio Advertising
  11. Brochures
  12. Classified Ads

Now I realize that these may cost anywhere from a little bit of money to a lot of money, but it may be something for you to think about in the future.

The best thing for you to do, especially if your new to making money online, is to just experiment with the least expensive of the ideas and put just a little money in to it to see if it’s going to stick. If it does then you can run with it and invest more money into it.

The main idea of this post is to get you to think outside of the box and not get stuck thinking that all your efforts have to be online. There is a whole market out there waiting for you to grab their attention in the offline world.

How to Save Time So You Can Make More Money

When you start Internet Marketing you suddenly realize that this work from home thing is going to take a minute, and time seems to fly right on by. If your trying to learn about your niche and trying to promote it then you have even less time to play with. Not to mention writing articles and posting to your blog. Typing 500 words or more seems to be the biggest hurdle of them all. Especially the article marketing side of things.

Well I have an idea that might work for some. Many of you probably already have this one down pat but some may not. It also may never cross some peoples minds to do something about it. Or how easy doing this actually is. This idea is simply learning how to type. If your struggling when posting to your blog or doing article marketing then learning to type is what you need to do.

You might say that you would be losing to much time by doing such a thing, but you are losing more time by struggling with the seek and destroy method. Plus, learning to type will only take a few days or maybe a week. It will take a little more time getting your speed up, but you can learn the basics in no time.

To give you an idea of the basics of typing is that each finger is assigned a letter, or several letters. Let’s start with your right hand for instance and starting from your index finger the letters assigned would be: J,K,L, ;  and your thumb is always used for the space bar ( it doesn’t matter which one). Then you get your fingers used to these letters by typing: jjj,kkk,lll, ;;; , and then you do the left hand. You can also practice this to music and you type the letter’s to the beat of the music, slowly speeding up the tempo as you go. Next you have the letters above and below each of the main letters, for instance, the right hand again, the letters assigned to each finger starting with the index: y,u,i,o,p. Your going to have an extra one assigned for the upper keys and lower keys. Speaking of lower keys you would assign them the same way. Your right hand would therefore be: n,m, comma, period, ? . Once you know the letters your fingers are assigned to you practice variations of  typing letters, then start typing words when that becomes comfortable.

I would definitely learn to type if you don’t know how, it will save you a lot of time and may make article marketing and other forms of marketing more pleasurable. Like I said previously it really doesn’t take long to learn how to type at all. This post may have just confused you of the whole process, so your best bet may be to get a good software program to show you how. If you look over to the left of this post in the sidebar you’ll see a Clickbank search engine. Just type, “Learn to Type” in that search engine and you’ll find all kinds of programs to help you learn how to type. You can also just click this link and go straight to a page with products listed on it.

I hope this has helped some of you that may have thought it would take months to learn to type and is the reason why you never considered doing it. It really isn’t very hard at all and knowing how to type will up your productivity considerably.
