People are talking about products, services, good / bad experiences, new ideas, moods, wants, needs and just about everything that can be expressed in 140 characters. This raw conversational data is your window into discovering what your audience is all about and through Twitter, you are able to effectively target the things of which your audience is interested.

Let’s take a look at how you can start producing market driven content that is easily monetized through the use of search.twitter.com.

The Importance of Knowing Your Audience

Basic marketing practices involve conducting market research, studying the preferences and nature of consumers and prospects, studying buying history and lots of other trends. All this data is important for marketers and online publishers like ourselves to ascertain a predictable outcome from our efforts and also help to define worthwhile, realistic targets.

You may have developed a passion for your niche and business but what good are your skills and knowledge if you have no idea who you’re trying to sell to and what they’re truly interested in. The marketers who know more about their audience will have a great competitive advantage since they will know precisely which direction to focus their marketing efforts rather than by chance. Almost like looking into the future through a magical crystal ball.

How Does Twitter’s Search Engine Apply To Blogging & Other Types of Business?

Let’s say you have decided to start blogging about cooking and initially you’re not quite sure how your potential audience will respond to your content. Using search.twitter.com we can do a search for cooking, baking, or food. Or a blog about exercise and losing weight could search for ‘lose weight’ and the results will show exactly what people are talking about, what they think about the topics and how they interact with others.

After spending some time to study this information, you should get a pretty good idea of the direction you need to take. Twitter is where people and conversations are and wherever there is a large crowd then the money will follow. So whether you are producing content for your blog or selling products and services, you have access to market insights through this unique search tool.

To start building your blog further, engage this new found crowd by following them, start conversations about the relevant topics, introduce yourself and let them know what you’re about and greatest of all, build relationships; do not spam.

Be Prepared!! Focus on Content

Above all things quality content is critical for the success of your online business. After you’ve captured the attention of the crowd, you need to have something on your site that keeps them coming back for more. This is where you need to go all the way. There is no room for mediocrity or copied, regurgitated content. Quality content will separate you from the average blogger and business person, placing you in the perfect position to excel, increase sales and attract deals that build your brand.

Ensure that you have calls to action like subscribing to RSS feeds, e-mail and following your social profiles. Capture all connections and visits.

Conclusion & Discussion

To know your audience is to possess the keys to the success of your business. Make studying interactions and prospects on Twitter a part of your daily routine and write down your findings. At the end of the day you should come to some solid conclusions about your niche and have discovered brilliant ideas for building your business and brand, as well as connecting and capturing the attention of your audience.

What’s your take on this? Have you ever used Twitter’s search engine for research? Let us know what you think in the comment section below. We would love to hear from you.

If you check history, a vast majority of the most successful entrepreneurs were extremely passionate and had an unwavering faith in their ideas and areas of expertise, even if the world is against them. Many persons live their entire lives regretful of lost opportunities and you will soon realize that the pursuit of happiness lies very closely with the discovery of PASSION.

Discovering Your Passion

The discovery of your passion is one of the greatest treasures you could ever find and before launching any venture, you need to analyze and determine whether or not it aligns with your passion. To discover passion, we need to truly live and living comes from experiences and taking risks. Get out, socialize with your neighbors, business people, ask questions and never back down from a challenge.

Eliminate words such as can’t, never and impossible from your vocabulary. These will block opportunities that lead to your passion. When challenges are presented, rather than thinking about how difficult it is, focus on what you will achieve when you overcome; think about the prize. Every experience will lead you closer to the discovery of passion.

The Right Blogging Niche For You

Many persons will say that the best niche is the one with the largest audience, prospects and a market hungry for new ideas and competition. Well I say the best niche is the one you’re actually passionate about. Regardless of any recession or how saturated a market may seem, there is always room for brand new innovations.

Great ideas begin with passion and if you’re truly passionate about your online blogging business then it won’t be difficult for you to go one step farther than everyone else, to do more, read more, sacrifice more and go the extra 100 miles to please your audience and customers. Your efforts will be multiplied by your passion and success and profits online will be well within your reach.

Passion Is Contagious

With Millions of blogs currently in existence you cannot afford to be just like everyone else and honestly, I see hundreds of blogs that seem like they were produced in the same old factory. Oftentimes there is no passion and you can sense that they’re just going with the flow trying to make an extra buck or two. I don’t read these types of blogs and hundreds of millions of other persons don’t either.

Readers are looking for leadership, inspiration and a powerful voice to propel them. They quickly pick up when writing is just ordinary. They are looking for bloggers and entrepreneurs with passion, direction and authority and they follow these figures because they know that there is always something to be learned from passionate people.

How Long To The Millions?

There’s no set time period for reaching sustainable success and making millions but the closer you are aligned with your passion, your road to success becomes more certain. When pursuing passion, you need to ask yourself these questions:

1. Do I see myself doing this for the rest of my life?
2. Would I do this for free?
3. Do I get excited every time  someone asks about my passion?
4. Do I have unwavering faith even when others have negative things to say?

If your answer to these is yes then the time it takes to achieve the ultimate millions won’t really matter because you will be doing something you love. Whether it takes a year or ten you will be happy where you are and all the time you’ve been waiting, within your heart you will know that your success is certain.

Conclusion & Discussion

Think about it, what are you truly passionate about? Food, music, pets, blogging, comics? Wherever it lies there is an opportunity for launching yourself out there and finding success. If you find yourself investing in a blog or business that is the complete opposite of your passion then you need to elegantly depart and start pursuing the real deal.

As your passion grows, ideas increase, audience grows and business multiplies; live and do business passionately! Share your passion with us in the comment area below as well as what you’ve learned on your journey. We would love to hear from you.

Essentially, its not a decision that should be quick and impulsive; take the time to think about the name and the factors discussed below. Whois.domaintools.com is a very useful website that provides information on whether a domain is available for registration or not.

Types of Domain Names

There are 2 types of domain names, those that are “discoverable” and the others “brandable.” The type you choose depends a lot on what your traffic generation strategies will be. A Discoverable domain name is one that can be found by someone who does not know about your business but is conducting searches on keywords and topics that are related to your business. These types of names are generally descriptive and depend greatly on keyword competitiveness.

A Brandable name, however, creates a distinct identity or image and evokes interesting ideas and feelings in the user. Names like Google, Yahoo and Flickr have unique character strings and will be best found on the original website. People who know of your business can easily use a search engine to reach you, though this may not be a great source of traffic initially. This means, however, that when your name is mentioned, it dominates search results and this establishes greater credibility and recognition.

Avoid Trademark / Copyright Violations

Copying a successful brand or business name might seem like a profitable short term idea since the qualities associated with those brands may be shared but the truth is that this is a recipe for disaster and will prove very unproductive. Copying trademarks will only lead to potential lawsuits that could cost hundreds of thousands of US dollars to mitigate and lots of time wasted.

Short, Catchy, Easy to Spell & Memorable

There may be times that you will come up with a name that has some sentimental significance to you in some way and all your days you dream of launching your business with it. The reality is that if that name is too complicated and does not “roll right” with the tongue it could mean a bad start online. If your domain name requires a lot of attention to detail to type correctly then you’ve already lost some of your branding and marketing value.

Try to avoid using words that contain too many of these letters: “q,” “x,” “z” and “p”

Ensure the name blends well

For example: Microsoft, Farecast, YouTube

A blend combines part of a word with another word or word part. The name Microsoft combines the “micro” part of “microcomputer” with the “soft” part of “software.” When blends involve a surprising overlap in sound between the two words, they’re a form of wordplay. Farecast is like that. It combines the words “fare” and “forecast,” and “fare” resembles the first syllable of “forecast.” Don’t pile up consonants in ugly ways (like in the name Syncplicity), and don’t use important words to replace syllables that aren’t emphasized (the way the names Mapufacture and Carticipate do).

No Numbers & Hyphens

Hyphens and numbers make it very difficult when giving out your domain verbally. There is the confusion of remembering whether the number must be spelled out or typed in numerals; and hyphens are often forgotten.

Have 5 Phrases in Mind When Brainstorming

When brainstorming your domain name it is good to have 5 terms or phrases in mind that best describe your ideas. Once you have this list you can start pairing them or adding prefixes or suffixes to create a great name.

Create & Fulfill Expectations

When someone hears your domain name it is great if they can immediately correlate it with what your site will do for them and what type of content they will find there. Names like careerbuilder.com, newser.com, hotmail.com and webmd.com do that easily. Google.com, amazon.com, etc. required more branding since they were not intuitive, although they are pretty much now after great investment and hard work.

Conclusion

As domain names become even more scarce, you will need to approach the naming process in a strategic, sensible and rational way. Bearing in mind that your name is an investment in your business and can even help to determine the ultimate value of your idea in the long-term.

However, one thing I have noticed is that not many bloggers are extraordinary in their efforts to making their blog a success. Lots of mediocrity and sub par performances are abundant as most don’t truly respect the art and are just not hungry enough to seek to be better day-in day-out.

There will never be a perfect blogger but we can work to achieve the best of the best by continuously reading, tweaking, studying, designing and learning to ensure that we stand out in the crowd.

If you look at the top Youtubers, it’s hard to believe that they started with zero subscribers. There are now over 15 channels that each have a subscriber base of over 1 Million! (more than some sky channels!). It all starts with 1,000 subscribers and spreads from there! The power of Youtube and other video sharing sites can’t be ignored and offers a wide audience that you won’t reach by solely maintaining a blog.

Here are 15 very effective techniques for attractive new subscribers and leveraging that traffic back to your website or blog.

1. Choose a memorable channel name, make it quirky!

Channels that are easy to remember, complemented with great video content will have viewers coming back for more and begin to build your brand and viewer loyalty. Also, try to make the name relevant to your content and keyword rich to ensure they are easily found through search engines.

2. Include A Call To Action

Engage your audience at the end of your video telling them what you want them to do, its very important to give them this nudge. Whether its to share the video, visit your website, sign-up to a newsletter, etc. if its great content they will do it.

3. Number your videos – It creates anticipation for the next one.

Its easier for viewers to watch multiple quick videos so if you can, split your videos in multiple parts. This work on the human nature, builds excitement and also allows those searching through google to find various sections of the video that may apply to them.

Keep videos within 3 minutes in length. Viewership tends to fall off when videos are too lengthy, unless it is super amazing content.

4. Network with everyone in your niche

Networking is what social media is about; get to know other bloggers and designers. Oftentimes they will like your content, share it and offer ideas and opportunities for building your online business.

5. Brand Your Channel

Add your logo, descriptions and other site info to ensure that your brand will stick in viewers’ minds.

6. Add Captions to your videos

YouTube, Google and other search engines index captions thus making your videos easier to find and understand thus increasing reach.

7. Tweet at the top guys – They sometimes respond!

There’s nothing wrong with attracting some attention from the high profile bloggers on the scene. If you know you have a killer useful video then share it. Warning: Don’t do this with every post to the same person, especially if its not relevant to what they’re about. That’s spamming! Don’t do it.

8. Link to your website on all video descriptions

Make it unforgettable!

9. Convince 100 facebook friends to start an account and subscribe to your channel.

Its guaranteed that some of them will help share it and spread your ideas.

10. Take advantage of your best video

If you have a video that has some popularity behind it, send the link to other bloggers and especially news websites that frequently feature user created content.

11. Read the YouTube blog

This will put you way ahead of most people, as some people don’t know they have one! The blog offers critical information for using YouTube effectively.

12. Go High-Definition (HD) – Future proof your work.

YouTube supports the best quality videos, so get out of the past, put your best image forward and start shooting videos in high-definition wide-screen format. They have a guide for recommended formats for video uploads. Usually, the best recommendations are:

• 30 frames per second
• HD quality video with 16:9 aspect ratio
• MP4 video file format with .H264 compression
• MP3 or AAC audio compression

Conclusion & Discussion

“YouTube” is a slow game, lots of channels are portrayed in the media as “overnight” success stories. If you can think of it as a 5 year journey and you enjoy the process of making and promoting videos then you will have a successful channel and the knock on effect is a successful website!

The truth is that Google, the biggest authority on SEO and search, provides all the information and strategies required for mastering your niche through search. The information they provide is surprisingly very simple and straightforward and will prove to be less hassle and reap more rewards.

So let’s do some myth busting to shed some light on the truth about SEO.

Myth #1: WordPress plugins like All-In-One SEO Pack Automatically Boosts Search Traffic

The idea of a plugin that automatically does your SEO is pretty cool, most automated features can do
more harm than good actually. For example, the auto generate meta description feature which creates an extreme case of duplicate entries in certain themes. Other than that, you will need to manually edit certain elements of your site like title and alt tags, etc. The plugin simply facilitates easy editing and does not automatically boost search engine traffic.

Myth #2: Linking To Authority Websites Will Help Your Reputation

Although linking to website within your niche or chosen topic is best, it will not help your reputation in search engines and improve ranking. If that were the case, then everyone would start doing it and then it would just not make much sense.

Myth #3: The Only Way To Get Indexed Is To Submit To Search Engines

I have proven this one wrong over and over again as there are many other elements that initiate the crawling and indexing process. For example, a healthy dose of incoming links from sites that are crawled and indexed quite readily will help your site get indexed too.

Myth #4: High Pagerank Guarantees The Best Search Traffic

Sam’s Web Guide is currently a pagerank of about 3 and receive targeted search traffic for specific keywords that outrank many popular websites. The pagerank score reported by google’s servers are different from what they use internally for their search ranking algorithm.

Myth #5: Meta Tags Will Boost Your Search Ranking

Because of the abuse of meta tags over the years by black hat SEO’s to dominate search engines, google no longer places any weight on them. In addition, the keyword tags, meta description, meta author, and meta robots do not carry much weight either so do not spend a lot of time editing them.

Myth #6: More Internal Links Are Better

Its not the quantity that makes internal linking effective but it really depends on how relevant the linked content is to the original. Relevance is most important.

Myth #7: SEO Is Set & Forget

SEO is not a quick fix and requires consistent and persistent effort in building back links and real authority. This is why it is necessary to continuously guest blog, promote your site and create link worthy content. If your content is solid and useful, then others will readily link to you which builds authority and popularity on the web.

Myth #8: Large, Deep Directory Structures are Bad For SEO

This is not true. Provided that your linking strategy is accurate and contain no broken links or endless loops you will be fine.

Myth #9: Crawlers Don’t Read CSS

The google bot especially does scan CSS for spam type activity and hidden divs.

Myth #10: Using Online Services That Promise To Register Your Site To Hundreds of Directories & Search Engines is Good for Rankings

I have tried this many times in the past with various websites with very little success. The links are not really placed and if they are placed, the linking structure is usually irrelevant and on pages that are not even crawled. Don’t waste your time or money.

Google actually ignores unnatural link building strategies and obtaining 100 or more links per day in directories and other listing sites is very unnaturally. However, this is not the case when you have hundreds of websites reporting similar popular news. These are treated differently.

Google & Other Resources

The best place to find the truth about SEO is Google itself. They provide the most concise, effective and simple techniques for mastering the art and provide guidelines on what to avoid. Here are some excellent resources to help you build your sites’ authority in the long-term, eliminating the need to hire an SEO professional to do the work that you could easily learn to do yourself.

As you continuously grow and yearn to become a pro blogger in 2011, remember that dedication and persistence are ultimately required for success and these qualities should be put to use with the strategies I will outline below.

Start Early

Procrastination is a disease that leads to the death of the greatest ideas. If you look back, you will realize that oftentimes when you say I’ll do this or that tomorrow, it either never gets done or it takes a few weeks to a month. The ideas that are acted on with precision and in a timely manner produce the greatest fruits and an early plan leads to even earlier success. Think of the thousands of blogs within your niche, most of their authors are thinking about success just as you are and what can be done to get it; so if you do not act now, someone else will.

The longer you take to act on the marketing ideas you develop for your blog, the further away you push success and attract “last place” achievements.

Develop Monthly Targets, Set Achievable Goals

If you have no targets and goals to work towards then your blogging path is a random one which offers zero guarantee for success. Without a map or technique, a sailor is lost at sea with very little hope of finding land. Have fun with your blog while setting clear and realistic goals over specific periods of time whether you blog for play or for business. Whatever your reason for blogging may be, I’m sure there are certain indicators you will use to measure your desired type of success.

Develop daily, weekly or monthly plans that clearly outline what is required of you at each stage of your journey as well as what will be gained. This will be the map that leads you to success online.

Try New Things, Take Risks

The blogosphere is getting tired of old regurgitated content; if your only means of coming up with blog posts is copying someone else’s style or content, then you need to quit right now. Study your niche to discover what is missing, then fill that need effectively. Go the extra mile to deliver something new to your audience; make it authentic, use your own fresh style and they will remember you and respect you for it. The spirit of the internet is all things NEW and if you can bring this to your blog regularly then you will be well on your way to great success with massive influence.

Dare To Be Bold

Be confident in all that you do online and others will follow you. To be confident, you will need to put the work in, study your niche, pay attention to the trends and learn from your experiences. Make it your duty to experience something new in your niche daily and deliver your experiences through your blog. Readers react and are influenced by experiences expressed genuinely and ones they can relate to. Become a great story teller and share your gems with your readers.

Network Some More

Without trust and influence you may not find much success through blogging and the best way to gain these is to truly connect with your audience and friends online. To connect you need to: say “thank you,” engage your followers and friends in healthy discussions that encourage, educate and provide some value, make their interests your’s in some way and show that you care. Being anti-social does not work so use the free tools that are available to you online; YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc. These tools close the gap between you and your audience and prospects.

Complete At Least 2 Difficult Tasks Everyday

No pain, no gain. The most effective way to grow and become stronger at whatever you do is to overcome your fears and other challenges that come your way. Never run away or be shy when difficulties present themselves, these are not problems but are unique opportunities to develop your skills; making you stronger and smarter than you could ever imagine. If you should reflect on the past and the unimaginable difficulties that you have actually overcome, you will realize that most were not as bad as you initially thought and you are now wiser than before. Apply this to your online efforts and always remember that to every difficulty there is a solution with much to be gained.

Go Back To The Old Drawing Board

As you make new plans, remember previous ones that went by unaccomplished. Maybe you did not have the resources back then to implement them or they are the victims of procrastination; but whatever they are, keep them close to your heart and find a way to implement worthwhile ones. They may be perfect for the current leg of your blogging journey.

Learn From Mistakes Made in 2010

If you feel as though you did not achieve anything in 2010, the best thing you could do for yourself is learn from all the mistakes you’ve made. In fact, if you’ve been doing your best and still haven’t achieved, do not be fooled, as some of the greatest lessons can be learned from misfortune. As a maker of mistakes, you know more than anyone else what not to do. Be smart, own your mistakes, recognize what could be done differently and apply this wealth of knowledge to the execution of your blogging strategy.

Conclusion

Live and blog passionately, learn from your mistakes, apply what you’ve learned to your master plan, love your audience, provide great value, build trust and plan ahead. You have a fresh new slate to kick-off 2011, blog as though success is the only option, envision nothing else and you will find your success.

All the best for 2011!
