1. 4 Money Making Features Your Blog is
Missing

2. There are many features that you’re
supposed to have on your blog, to
stimulate traffic, build your readership
and drive sales.

3. Do you have these 4 essentials? Many
new bloggers forget to include these
features, or they don’t do them right.

4. Make sure that you’re doing them
properly by going through this list!

5. #1: Strategy Based Advertising

6. Many experts bloggers will try and tell
you that advertising is not something a
‘real’ blog should be concerned about.
After all, many bloggers are blogging
to generate sales for their businesses,
or to become authorities on the
internet.

7. Why then should you worry about
advertising? When you start to
generate traffic, you can take
advantage of those numbers and use
some space on your blog for
advertising.

8. When you sign up to an ad network,
you’ll be able to choose products that
are relevant to your niche. Find the
most enticing products, and advertise
them! The money you earn from these
adverts can help expand your blog.
Suddenly, you’ll have an extra bit of
cash to hire additional writers, or
invest in videos, infographics or other
multimedia features that will make
your blog special.

9. Tip! One or two ads is enough. Do not
load you pages will multiple adverts!

10. #2: The Humble Squeeze Page

11. You probably have a newsletter sign up
form, but that’s about it. People won’t
sign up for a newsletter unless your
blog is incredible, or you give them
something in return. That’s where the
humble squeeze page comes in!

12. Hire a sales writer to create a nice,
high converting squeeze page for you,
which prompts your readers to
become part of your email list. Your
list will be a lot more enticing that way.

13. Tip! Give away a free e-book,
whitepaper or file to your readers
when they sign up!

14. #3: Supporting Articles and Guest
Blogs

15. Driving traffic to your blog supports all
of your marketing goals. That’s why
when you post a blog, you should have
a basic content SEO strategy to get
that post noticed.

16. Even if it’s 5 articles on the same topic
to post on article marketing sites, and
1 guest post on someone else’s blog –
it could mean the difference between
300 visitors, and 6000 visitors. When
you drive more people to your blog,
you’ll get more comments, sign ups
and social shares.

17. Tip! Plan your posts in advance, to
make sure you have the supporting
content ready when it’s time to post
live!

18. #4: Watch Your Comments Like a Hawk

19. Whatever you do on your blog – you
must always moderate your
comments. A blog post with 3 unique
comments is better than a post with
40 spammy, unrelated comments.
When people see that you publish
spam, they won’t take your blog
seriously, and any interaction will be
limited to spambots and people
looking for backlinks. This is not how
you promote the conversation.

20. Tip! Don’t know if a comment is spam?
Copy and paste it into Google. Chances
are, if it’s been used all over the place,
it will show up in the results
immediately.
