Should You Join The Blogosphere?

There are two types of blogs. The blogosphere blog and the commercial blog. Blogosphere blogs get the most attention, but make the least amount of money. There are, of course, the superstar blogs that fit into the blogosphere category – Problogger, ArsTechnica, Dosh Dosh … I could go on naming many more. But the great bulk of blogs that fall into the blogosphere category don’t make a dime. That doesn’t mean they’re bad blogs; they just aren’t making any money.

You know a blogosphere blog when you see one. They love to link out. The idea is to be “connected” to the broader web. To converse with other blog owners. To share. Touchy-feely, you know.

There’s nothing wrong with that, but not every blog has to be a blogosphere blog. Commercial blogs are different.

What Is A Commercial Blog?

A commercial blog’s primary purpose is to promote a business. It can be on the business’s website or on another website and link often to the business site it promotes. Either way is fine. But a commercial blog exists primarily as a promotional tool.

There are two types of commercial blogs: The strictly promotional blog and the social blog. The promotional blog is there just as a promotional tool. Nothing fancy. The social blog is a bit more than a simple promotional tool. It is more versatile and flexible. In many respects it resembles the blogosphere blog. The primary difference is that it’s not an engagement blog in the same manner than a blogosphere blog is; again, the social aspect of the blog is designed to be self promotional while providing maximum user benefit.

Which blog is right for you is largely determined by your goals. You can use any of the blogs for specific purposes related to marketing your business. But you always want to use your blog to drive traffic to certain parts of your website so that you can drive that visitor into your sales funnel. The goal of a commercial blog is always to gain a new customer.

Why You Shouldn’t Listen To The Gurus

The gurus want to sell you books. They are full of advice about how you should do this or you should do that. But they aren’t holding your hand while you’re doing it, are they?

It’s nice that they want to share their knowledge. Isn’t it? I mean, they’re not giving it away. It’s not free. There is a price tag on it. But your success doesn’t ride on that price tag. They get paid whether you succeed or not.

The fact of the matter is, online marketing comes in different shapes and sizes. What works for one situation may not work for another. A blog is an instrument. In the right hands it can play a beautiful tune. To someone else it may just make a bunch of noise. At Blog Content Provider, we consider ourselves your personal guide to blogging and when it comes to blog marketing, if you don’t succeed then you don’t succeed. Our business model is based on your continued success. If you don’t make then we don’t make it. What guru is going to tell you that? Do you get a refund on that e-book if you fall on your face? Will he retract his advice? If we don’t help you succeed, you can fire us. And that’s why we bank on what we say. Because we’re doing it.

Have You Calibrated Your Blogelator Lately?

If you’re new to blogging you might be wondering what that blogelator thingie is. Oh, and by the way, how do I get one?

Well, the truth is, I made it up. There’s no such thing as a blogelator. Trust me, I Googled it. But what if there was?

In electronics, calibration is a word that is often used to describe a process of adjusting the accuracy of something. Say, a tool. A measuring instrument. Something of that nature. Well, blogging is definitely a tool and you should think about calibrating your tool from time to time. You should treat it like it’s an instrument for measuring because that’s what it is. It’s a great measure of your ability to attract a targeted market and hold its interest.

If you think about blogging in those terms then the idea of a blogelator makes sense. Your blogelator is that built in instrument for measuring your reach, or your ability to reach your target market through your blog. Are you doing that effectively? If not then it’s time to calibrate the blogelator.
