Newbie 8 Questions

by zarahmarasigan
5 replies
This is my first post after lurking here for 3 months. Now it's time for me to take action. By the way thank you guys and girls who are members here in a WF, I've learned a lot here.

My question is:

1.) How long it will take me to earn steady "visitors" if I do blogging?.

2.) Do I need to create many blog post before I promote my sites or promote immediately my sites after my first content?.

3.) Can I blog even though I am not a good writer or English is not my first language?.

4.) Have you ever used weebly as your primary blogs and not just for funnelling purposes?. I tend to use weebly for now because it's easy rather than WordPress.

5.) Have you made money in your blogs without building a list?, if not, can you recommend me a free email responder?. I've searched for list wire, but I don't think I will like it.

6.) Have you made a successful blog without using any tools like market samurai for research or any other software out there for traffic.

7.) What are the difference between blog and article?, as I see it, it's all the same.

8.) Why majority of people here using squeeze page rather than a blog?. Squeeze page is for short term success, right?.

That's all my question and your reply will be much appreciated. I am not here to ask for methods or any other stuff. I am willing to learn from my own. If I ask I definitely don't know the answer or I never found the answer what I've searching for.


Thank you.

    For question No 3, Yes you can. You can always pay someone to write quality posts for you. There are some good and low cost writers here on WF as well as Fiverr..

    You wont find a clear answer anywhere on the net. It all depends on your strategy and how you implement it.

    You can promote the first piece of content on your site.

    Yes! But you should hire a proof-reader from Odesk/Elance. They would read your article prior to you posting it and fix all grammatical errors. It can cost you as low as a dollar to have your content read and fixed.

    Ideally, you'd want WordPress. You don't own the content you publish on weebly, meaning if weebly decides, they can take down your $500/month review article without your consent.

    Building a list is an integral part of IM'ing. Although, you can earn from affiliate sale sites without a list i.e clickbank products, amazon affiliate, walmart etc
    Currently, the best Free Autoresponder imo is Send Better Email | MailChimp . You get 12K Emails and 2K subscribers for free. Whichever pans out first

    You really don't need Market Samurai. Google Adwords Keyword tool is still the best! On the paid side, Long Tail Pro is the most popular.
    If you can build your own links (Takes time and knowledge), then you can. Normally, link building can be outsourced for cheap.

    Articles are posted as 'Content' on a Blog.
    JohnChow.com is a Blog. What he posts are articles.

    A blog is mainly used for passive income if successful, Gaining Authority, building List and promoting your business among other things.
    A Squeeze page is only used for capturing of emails and building lists. You don't need any content, just the free 'Bait' to get people to enter to sign up.

    That is an undefinable question, that is up to YOU. How can I or anyone else in this forum tell you how long that would take?

    1. As stated, it totally depends on a number of factors. Who you're targeting, how you promote, how often you post, what you post, etc. Short answer, anywhere from 1 week to 1 year or more. Seriously, it depends on how much your put into it.

    2. Promote every piece of content, at least via backlinks and pings.

    3. Yes you can

    4. I would recommend you watch some youtube vids and learn Wordpress. Not only do you have more control over your site, but you have control over your content. And WordPress is very easy once you get the hang of it.

    5. Stay away from free autoresponders. You want a reliable service that's going to actually deliver your emails. Spam filters are even stronger now-a-days and you're just not going to get the same deliverability as you will through one of the bigger AR companies. Besides most give you a 30 day trial.

    6. Last I checked, and it's been a while, market samurai has a free version. Or you can use Google's free Keyword Planner, which MS pulls its data from.

    7. Blog post, article, email, audio, video. It's all content. This is information or content marketing. Each delivery mechanism has it's place. But at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that you create content. Some to give away and some to sell.

    8. Blogs are a tool for traffic generation, relationship building, credibility building and brand building. Squeeze pages are tools for list building. And no, they are not "short term". Exactly the opposite actually. You need both to maximize your efforts.

    Hope all that helps some.

    I agree that there is a lot to learn here on the forum. People are very willing to help by passing on info from their experience.

    Question 6: Google's keyword planner is probably all you'll need when you start out. If you go to youtube and type in Google Keyword Tool, you'll see a video on how to use it to the best advantage.
    Question 5: I wouldn't recommend using a free Autoresponder. It is worth paying for an email service. You might like to read the autoresponder article at the following address.

    Keep working at your online business and you'll succeed. Best wishes.
