Career Day, Creative Blogging Turns Into Blogging Income..........seperatly
Since there are millions of blogs, and only a select few are making enough blogging for careers, there is a misconception about the whole “Career Blogging” phrase. Career blogging is a tough word to use, but as someone who used it once, and whose paychecks were coming in solely from my blogging efforts, I can say it may not be the best career, but for many reasons it can be a lucrative one.
Can it be a career?
Yes, blogging can be a career, just like screenwriting or novel writing can be careers. The good news is you need no direct connection to Hollywood (or live there), nor do you need to craft a masterpiece of 100,000 words and feel the pain of countless rejections on your way to becoming a career novelist. When compared to other creative fields, blogging from home looks rather good. There are thousands of bloggers out there who make the majority of their income as bloggers. It happens. It’s the reality of the online world. It starts with following the time tested rules of writing. Write well. Write plenty. Get the golden repeat visitors.
Repeat visitors:
Repeat visitors mean more hits on your blog(s). Simply put, this is your career in a nutshell. If you are questioning whether you can make blogging a career, this will tell you if it’s possible. If you can get repeat visitors across multiple blogs, you can make money online in big amounts. If you treat this more as a hobby and only post once a month, you’re not going to get the serious reader willing to keep coming back for information.
More than One Blog Element:
Having more than one blog is a MUST if you want to be a career blogger. Even if they make most of their money with one blog, there are many career bloggers with six or more blogs. Some are “building blogs” still waiting to take off. Others are more professional blogs, where thousands of readers visit. Still other are in between, bringing in just enough money for the blogger to keep them going, but not enough to live off solely.
Using Social Media:
Social media is crucial, but underlying it is the fact you need to understand how blogs work to profit from them. For example, using Tags and Keywords are powerful ways to get more readers. If you pick up on a powerful keyword, or choose a unique but popular tag, you’re using social media like it’s meant to be used.
Selling Reports and eBooks:
Your blog is a success! You’re making decent money! What next? It’s time to branch out into blog consulting or other writing fields. These will supplement your income even more, and with your emplaced and successful blogs already bringing in hundreds if not thousands of readers a day, you can start cashing in with more than ads. This goes back to offering more services, but it’s more specific. For one, blog consulting is a powerful tool to use; once you get lots of readers, you will find many who have their own blogs. They want help on being “career bloggers” themselves so you can do some blog consulting for them.

Marketing Your Services Online Using Twitter easily
Many are putting up their own business and offering their services online. There are several reasons why more and more people are turning to the Internet for income generation. One reason that stands out is the practically unlimited number of clients you can get. When you have the whole Internet to market your business, you can actually do business with clients from all parts of the world. Of course, if you want to turn your business into a global enterprise, you should first know how to market your services the right way.
Today, there are a variety of tools you can use to let people know about your services. Some of the most popular ones are link exchange programs, article directories, search engine marketing, and placing your ads on other popular websites. Online businesspeople have been using these tried and tested techniques for a few years now but there is a new trend in Internet marketing: using a Twitter account as an online marketing tool.
Twitter is fundamentally a free social networking site where anyone can create an account in just a few seconds. All you have to do is enter your email address, create a username and password, and you're good to go. Once you are a registered Twitter user, you can start building a contact list -- these are the people you want to connect with and promote your services to.
Like many other social networking sites, Twitter allows you to send updates to your contacts whenever you want. These updates are referred to as "tweets" and are no longer than 140 characters. It is for this conciseness that many people also consider Twitter to be not just a social networking site but also a micro-blog.
Using Twitter to market your services can significantly help your business as long as you do it properly and avoid the common mistakes many online marketers make. For one thing, you don't want to bombard your potential clients with ads right from the beginning as this can be a real turn-off. Instead, you can start by sending a friendly introductory tweet.
Once you have introduced yourself to your clients, you can then ease in your services to your tweets. For instance, if you are a freelance writer, you can answer the Twitter question by writing, "I just completed a series of articles for my client in New York." This will let people know that you write articles for a living. If they need to have an article written, they would now know who to approach.
Another way of letting people know about your services is by answering other people's tweets using the @replies. Using the search feature on the website, find tweets that are relevant to your services. As a writer, you can look for tweets where people are looking for someone to write SEO articles about their own product or service. Using @replies, send responses to these tweets and make sure you include your website at the end.
Right now, Twitter is being used by more than two million people from all over the world and that number is growing by the second. If you are able to master the skill of marketing your services via Twitter and tap into that huge market potential, you can gain dozens of clients overnight and successfully grow your business without expending too much effort.
