How To Become An Atomic Blogger & Explode Your Profits.

Introduction
Starting a blog can prove to be difficult for some people, leaving them frustrated. Then there are others who
do have a blog but with almost no movement, comments or visitors. With blogging you want to stand out from
the massive crowd of millions of bloggers, each wanting to be one of the few hundred thousand blogs that are
actually visited.
The funny thing is many people are still asking this question, what is a blog? While most already know what
is a blog, I believe it is a good idea for us to really refresh this topic so that everyone has a better
understanding of this amazing worldwide practice of blogging.
A blog is an internet-based tool that performs like an informative super online journal. It is well organized,
easily accessible and usefully interactive. Very easy to use, a blog is like having your own website to where
you can quickly post thoughts, interact with people, maybe sell some of your own products and/or services.
Blogs are used to enhance communication and culture, it can be used for marketing, branding and public
relations. They are not easily controlled like that of broadcasting or even print media, but like them, blogs
have a deep desire for an audience.
Blogging has become so common that you're just as likely to find a blog from a 18 year old kid back packing
through Europe publicly journalizing his travels, as you are to find one featuring your neighbor marketing his
business online.
In this report you will learn is how to set up your blog, optimizing and monetizing it. You will now be able to
use this information over and over again, building as many monetized blogs as you would like.

Hosting Your Blog vs A Free Blog
Free Blogs
The key advantages to free blogging websites is that they are free, getting started is very easy and it takes
almost no time to setup. Sites like Wordpress.com, Yahoo 360 and Blogger.com provides you the opportunity
of getting started online with out any out of pocket cost.
Now the great services provided by these popular free blogging sites do have some negative factors to
consider. When putting your website on a free blogging service they basically own your website’s
address and has the right to alter your content to suite their needs.
Now this is something you do not wanting happening especially if you are planning on using this site for
business. Quite honestly, free website hosting is more suitable for personal blogging or commentary websites
which do not feature critical business content.
Hosting Your Blog
With hosting your own site, the key advantage is control. You have complete control over your website to
include the content and design. Hosting your own blog can be more personalized in terms of choosing a
domain name, and you can manage your content using exactly the same software as the free solutions but
without having to worry about other people editing it.
The following is a list of what you will need to get started with hosting your own blog:
• A domain name (can be purchased for about $10.00/year). Check sites like Goddady.com,
Namecheap.com, Yahoo.com for purchasing your domains.
• Blogging software, you can get this for free at Wordpress.org (Wordpress is without a doubt the best
platform out there)
• You then want to acquire your hosting account (can be approximate $40 to $100/year). Check out
Hostgator, they are great for hosting Wordpress blogs..

Optimizing Your Blog
Now don't confuse optimizing your blog with search engine optimization (SEO), there is a bit of a difference.
Most blogs run off standard platforms like your own hosting account or hosted through someone else's
domain, with unique designs to the blog, among other things, which can impact your rankings.
The good thing is, you are on the right track to having your blog rank well, while not hindering your visitor’s
experience on your site. There are things you can definitely adjust, preventing any indexing issues from
occurring, plus ensuring your blog is surviving an excellent existence within the search engines.
Here are some great tips for optimizing your blog:
1. Take advantage of free blog templates, customizing it a bit with either your company logo or slightly
changing the colors, dumping your default template. You want your visitors to at least find it appealing.
Note: Watch your color scheme. Try to keep a somewhat professional look and feel
2. Offer RSS and feed subscription to your blog making it easy for your visitors to subscribe.
3. Make sure your blog provides easy navigation to your visitors allowing them quick and easy access to
the information on your blog. Avoid cluttering and widget overload.
4. Post often allowing Google and other bots to visit you more often, but more importantly keep your
stories unique adding any necessary backlinks.
5. When a new blog entry is added, pinging sites like Technorati, FeedBurner and now Google's Blog
Search, lets them know you have a brand new blog entry on your site. Add ping-o-matic to your blog
for automatic pings to your favorite sites.


Monetizing Your Blog
Once your blog is up and running you, want to find the quickest and easiest way of monetizing it.
Affiliate Programs offers ways to profit from some of the internet marketers in the business regardless of
their niche. You do want to keep your affiliate programs relevant to your niche without and with over crowding
it with different affiliate products. You can find great affiliate products with accounts from Amazon Associates,
Clickbank (see Atomic Blogging), PayDotCom, Commission Junction, iTunes Affiliates, just to name few.
Paid Content provides a good method for monetizing your blog as long as it is useful and informative
content. This content can be provided through different avenues such as e-books, reports, videos and/or
podcasting. Some bloggers also review other people's products for a fee.
Contextual Advetising like Google Adsense and the Yahoo! Publisher Network, will let you serve ads that
are relevant to your content, and you'll get paid per click your blog generates.
Creating A Mailing List to sell your produts has proven to be very beneficial if done correctly. You basically
want to create a list of buyers that seeks the products/service you selling. The bigger the list, a better chance
of having sales every time you promote to them. You will definitely need a autoresponder service or list
management company like www.aweber.com, www.getresponse.com and www.icontact.com, to assist you in
making process smooth.
