Benefits of Using WordPress Software as Your Professional Blogging Platform

vie — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 02:35:18 +0000

Although most bloggers I meet online are still using blogspot because they are free hosting, I have no regret using blogging software from WordPress.org which I need to pay for self hosting. The main reason why I’m using wordpress software as my blogging platform is to pave my path to professional blogging. Here is what is said about wordpress software:

WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.

Some benefits that I get from wordpress software are:

Fast installation of wordpress software to your domain name provided that the web hosting provides you with script installer or Fantastico in the control panel.
SEO friendly. With the installation of SEO plugins, I can type the keywords for every post.
Continuous development and upgrade for the software.
Large selection of blog themes.
Large selection of plugins to choose from and most of them are free. With plugins, we can customize our blog.
Trackbacks and pingbacks make easy to track if your articles are picked by other sites.
You can create categories, sub categories and tags.

There are still other benefits that I haven’t discovered yet and there will be more and more experts to develop blog themes and plugins for wordpress software. It is going to be more excited to see how professional blogging will progress along with the development of wordpress software in the future.

Professional Blogging is The Foolproof Path to Profitable Blogging

vie — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 05:29:21 +0000

The number of new blogs is growing daily. So is the complexity of blogging development. I notice that there is a big gap between casual blogging and professional blogging. Professional blogging focuses on blog content optimization in order to drive traffic to their blog and bring their professional blog rank high up in search engines. It is undeniable that newbie bloggers start blogging with the hope for profitable blogging. The common mistake that most newbie bloggers do is they don’t learn the correct way to optimize their blog content. If you are a newbie who doesn’t want to be just another blogger and wish to monetize your blog, you should learn professional blogging. You will spend just the same amount of time and effort as other bloggers do. Add some magic called Knowledge or Professionalism, you can make your blog stand out from the rest and you will start to monetize your blog. With professional blogging, you also learn the right steps towards profitable blogging right from the beginning such as:

Create a perfect domain name for your blog
Learn how to set up a WordPress blog with the profitable wordpress theme and important plugins.

You need to learn from top professional bloggers who have successful records and credibility in their professional blogging. You can subscribe to their newsletter or join their blog coaching membership. Subscribing to their newsletter will provide you with tips and sneak peeks of their expertise. Joining their blog coaching membership will help you to learn effectively and continuously. You will not only learn how to build a professional blog but also learn different ways to promote and monetize your blog. I highlight 4 important points to consider when choosing the right blog coaching:

Look for quality in modules and know what you are going to learn from them.
The coaching must provide technical support. Lack of technical knowledge is the number one obstacle most newbie bloggers experience.
Look for video tutorials. Videos tutorials are the easiest to follow.
Look for value added services or bonuses apart from tutorials.

When you build a professional blog, the outcome will be traffic. Once you have traffic, you can start profitable blogging. You can monetize your blog with small stream such as text-link advertisements or big stream such as being affiliates. Through professional blogging, you not only gain more skills and knowledge, you will also develop the traits of a professional blogger. Readers will love your professional blog because your blog add values in blogosphere.

The Less Travelled Road to Pro Blogging

vie — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:39:17 +0000

Time flies and if you wish to be a professional blogger, you must take action fast. Make a blogging as your career instead of your pastime. Pro blogging is a full-time job. Some top pro bloggers take ownership of blogging job seriously and make it as their business. Have you noticed what the qualities of pro bloggers have? They serve people, they give what the readers need. Their sites add values to their readers. They overdeliver their readers’ expectation by giving surprises. The pro bloggers use particular plugins, enhanced blog themes, methods and strategies to help their sites stand out from the crowd.

To be a pro blogger is not about how long you have been blogging but it is a matter of what you have done to improve your blog. Anyone without blogging experience can learn how to be a professional blogger in short time if he is willing to learn. Start blogging right by learning from the pro bloggers. Few top pro bloggers are willing to share their expertise through e-books, tutorial package and consultation. Be afraid not if you are not a savvy tech person. The tutorial for building a blog is made easier with screen shots and vidoes rather than reading WordPress.org documentation.

I can say the road to pro blogging is less travelled road. Building a professional blog needs hard work, patience and perseverence. The 3 things that you must keep doing to build your blog: writing, learning and networking. Initially, you need to make some investment for learning but the amount spent is relatively small compared to other business investment. In my opinion, pro blogging is an ideal job for one person show. Can you imagine the luxury of of working from home by blogging?
