The First Entry – and Where it Leads Now it’s time to write the first entry. It’s time to take the first step real step to building a Blog Empire for profit. You’ve decided what unique contribution you can make to the blogosphere, found the place where you will carve your niche and establish your capitol. You’ve pored over blog designs, scribbled up logos, picked and discarded a hundred names, finally settling on one that will tell your readers who you are and what they can expect in your Blog Empire. You’ve picked advertisers, designed coffee cups and sweatshirts with your logo on them, maybe even ordered a few for yourself and close friends. But now it’s time to give your readers all you can. Your first entry is the cornerstone of your Blog Empire, and it’s time to lay it. Once you write it, you’ll probably find that the second flows from it, and then the third from the second. In fact, all those ideas you have that you want to share with the world will inspire other ideas and reveal more genius and more creativity than you ever dreamed you had. The first entry doesn’t need to be the best you’ll ever write. In fact, as you write hundreds, even thousands of entries, you’ll hone your skill, improve your delivery, and sharpen your message. The first entry doesn’t need to grab the world by the throat. In fact, it may be the least-viewed entry you’ll ever write, as each entry brings more readers who become voluntary citizens of your Blog Empire. But the first entry will be the most important entry you ever write, because with it, you dedicate yourself to building a Blog Empire that will bring you enjoyment and profit until the day you decide to go on to bigger and better things. It will be the most important entry, because if you never write it, your Blog Empire will remain only a dream, and the Blogosphere will be denied all the enjoyment and information that you can uniquely bring it. And you’ll find that when you pass the thousandth reader, the millionth page view, the first month after you decide that being a blogger is something you want to do and can do full time, you’ll look back on that first entry and realize it was the cornerstone of a Blog Empire of which you are immensely proud. Theodore Roosevelt once said, "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Blog your way to victory, you can do it. Empire awaits you.
Finding A Product That is in Demand The first step in starting a successful online business is providing something there is a need for. It is advisable to do your homework and know for sure there is a demand for what you plan to sell before you try to market it. You may get lucky, but the chances of that happening are slim to none. Skimping on the research won't work on this step. Make a list of every niche you would consider working in. Then, research thoroughly. Once you know if there is a demand and how much of a demand there is, you will be in a better position of choosing your product or service. One way you can check the need for a certain item is to join the forums in your target area. Get an idea for what people are talking about while you interact with them. Listen for people saying they can't find something they have been searching for. This is the best place to start your research. The internet has numerous tools to help you with your search. Entering keywords and phrases will narrow down your search. Some tools will tell you how many people used that term to search in a certain amount of time. Another thing to look at is the number of clicks. Clicks and hits will tell you how much of a demand there is for your niche. The higher the number, usually the higher the demand is for items in that area. Other tools tell you how many people have visited a site. You may decide a certain niche is in high demand. You don't see many websites devoted to it. Checking how many people actually visit those existing sites will let you know whether there are so few because there isn't enough of a market-or it will verify that there is indeed a market waiting for you. By doing your research thoroughly, you will find some of your ideas workable and some not worth the effort. Use your common sense and make the decision for which niche is best..
To Join a Blogging Site or Not to Join Joining an established blogging site like live journal or blogger has plenty of advantages, especially for the blog novice. Sites that host a lot of different blogs often have very useful tutorials about building and updating your blog, and you are likely to encounter a very user- friendly software interface at an established blogging site. In addition, these sites provide a kind of instant community of fellow bloggers who can provide advice, insight, and feedback. These established sites often keep directories of their members, which can be great news for your traffic logs because it means that other bloggers on the site will find out about your pages. However, there are also some downsides to linking up with a large blogging site. By posting within the established templates of a site like blogger, you run the risk of having your blog look and feel like everybody else's. The blogging movement is very much about the creation of distinctive sites and the development of individual voices, so it makes plenty of sense that many bloggers would shy away from the cookie-cutter look and feel that these blogging sites often promote. Many bloggers feel that the content of a blog is what makes it distinctive, not the look of the blog, but many members of the blogging community feel that the visual impact of a blog should match the originality of the writing.
