Selling Your Blog

If you are going to be successful at selling a product or service on your blog, you must first succeed at selling the blog itself. This usually means selling the idea of your products or service through the blog which will make your readers want to keep coming back for more.

The first step is to choose a niche. This will define who you are to your readers and help your blog make money. Once you have chosen a niche for your money making blog, (see previous post), you will need to conduct some research to find out how members of your target audience are buying into that niche. The first step is to look at other blogs in your chosen niche. This will give you an idea of what other people are selling. Remember, these other people happen to also be your competition so you should also pay attention to how they are selling it. This will help you in determining how your blog will be different than theirs.

Set yourself apart from the competition. It’s all about being memorable and one of the best ways to accomplish this is by defining who you are and why people should buy from you after reading your money making blog as opposed to your competition. For example, if you find most of your competitors are using a particular advertising method, choose something else that will provide you the same benefits and advantages but work in a different way for you. Don’t be afraid to also use what they are using, but dare to be different.

A good example of this would be in how the product or service is promoted. Come up with a way of defining your goods that your competitors aren’t using. This could come in the form of a catch phrase, graphic or even promotional video.

Go the extra mile. Remember, if you are selling anything you will need to market and promote it on a regular basis. This means keeping up with industry trends and following them as they change.

Be available. One of the best ways to sell any product is to be available to your customers. Encourage them to ask questions pertaining to your products or post comments on your blog. The Internet has opened ways for business owners to interact with customers like never before so take advantage of all it has to offer. You can bet your customers will do the same.
