Infrastructure And Investment Required To Start A Blogging Business

The one thing that I really like about blogging is the fact that anyone can set up a blogging business at a minimum investment. There is hardly any infrastructure requirement and you can use your existing resources to start-up a blogging business. This is the basic infrastructure you will require:  1. A sturdy system (preferably a desktop).  2. A broadband internet connection. 3. A comfortable seating arrangement (just a table and a chair will do) 4. A Tablet computer or a Phablet for blogging on the go. [optional but recommended] Space : There is absolutely no requirement of renting out separate space as you can easily operate out of your bedroom, garage, attic or just about any corner of your house. Recurring expenses:  The following expenditure will recur each each year. 1. Hosting Charges - This will roughly cost you about a $ 100 each year. 2. Domain Name - A domain name will cost about $ 10 annually. Note that if y...

The Killer List Of Social Media Tips For Your Business

In this post I will be sharing a killer list of social media tips for your business. These tips will help you make your social media promotions more effective and rewarding in both the short and long run. 1. Sometimes quitting is the best option:  Social media websites like Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest came to us with the promise of easy publicity for our businesses. However we have soon realised that nothing on this planet is easy. We are all aware of the kind of money and effort it takes to woo an online following.  Thus, in case after your best efforts, you find that a certain social network is not working for you, its time to quit the platform and instead focus more on the ones that are bringing you the desired results. 2. Targeted Facebook Ads  Facebook allow you to target your ads to specific users based on their location, demographics and/or interests.

5 Blog Tips For New Blogspot Bloggers

If you are a new blogger on blogspot, this is where you should be. In this post I will be sharing some important blog tips for new blogspot users. 1. Start on a Top Level Domain (TLD) The key to success with Blogspot is starting on a TLD from day one. New bloggers often have the following line of reasoning  Let me start on the free sub-domain that blogspot offers. When I start gaining some traction and visitors start flowing in, I will then make the switch from the free sub-domain to a paid TLD. Believe me, for I speak from experience, that there is a serious fault in this line of reasoning.
