MAKE BLOG BEAUTIFUL

I have been using Blogger
as my blogging platform
for 1 year already, and I
must say that this has been
a mistake all along. Blogger
is not as flexible as any
other self-hosted blogs or
has as many useful widgets
like WordPress, and Blogger
is not so SEO friendly too.
Why am I telling you this?
Its because I have failed to
do one thing before
everything else started:
I failed to plan
Planning is an important
factor of blogging if you
are seriously going to make
it earn for you. You have to
do your research
thoroughly beforehand,
and ask yourself questions
like 'What kind of blog will
I be making so that I can
earn optimally?' 'What
security measures must I
adopt to protect my blog
from hackers or malicious
softwares?' or 'Which niche
will I choose?' Lets go
through step-by-step to
what I am trying to say
here.
'What kind of blog will I be
making so that I can earn
optimally?'
I will mention 2 types of
blog today, and those are:
1. the normal blog with
Google AdSense installed
You can make a normal
blog with Google AdSense
installed without spending
any money at all, and
setup is really easy. You can
earn from this kind of blog
by writing content
interesting enough to make
readers feel compelled to
click on the ads on your
blog, earning us a few
cents per click. There are
many resources on the web
which tells you how to
earn more from just
blogging, but at the end of
the day your earnings
won't be as much as an
eCommerce blog.
2. an eCommerce blog.
An eCommerce blog is a
blog that buy and sell
goods online, be it
business-to-business (B2B),
business-to-consumer
(B2C) or consumer-to-
consumer (C2C). Often this
kind of blog is harder to
make because as
consumers may use credit
card to purchase our goods
online, we must be able to
gain their trust because
credit card fraud is
rampant on the internet.
There are many
eCommerce consulting
agencies on the net and
you can always get help
from leading ones, for
example such as
ECommercePartners. These
interactive agencies provide
eCommerce solutions to a
wide variety of fields
including fashion web
design and many others.
An eCommerce blog can
earn you large sums of
money at times but its
earnings may not be as
frequent as normal blogs
with Google AdSense
installed.
'What security measures
must I adopt to protect my
blog from hackers or
malicious softwares?'
Hackers can hack our blogs
through advance methods
like XML injection and such,
but if your blogging
platforms already provide
you with the basic security
measures then you won't
have to worry about it so
much. What you should
worry about is how hackers
can still use the primitive
method of hacking and
ruining your blog for good:
1. Weak passwords
Your admin password must
be strong; it must contain a
mixture of small letters,
capital letters and
numbers. It is also not
advisable to use your
name, your birthday or
even words from the
dictionary as your
password. Hackers today
have advance programs
which will expose your
passwords to them in no
time if you have these
common passwords.
2. Weak anti-virus / internet
security softwares
Even though your blogging
platforms have some of
the security measures
already adopted to fend
off hackers, it is still
suggested that you have
internet security programs
installed too. Hackers can
use spywares to retrieve
sensitive information while
you are typing your
password out on your
keyboard so today, I will be
introducing to you the
antivirus program called
ZSecurity. It can provide
extensive internet security
and anti-spyware
capabilities so do get your
own copy.
'Which niche will I choose?'
You should choose a niche
with a large target
audience and one which
you can update about
everyday. By doing so, a
large amount of traffic will
come to your blog. You will
also be able to update
everyday, so these visitors
will come back frequently
for more information.
That's it for my post. Do
plan your blog carefully.
