Bloggers Market.com ★ The Market For Bloggers Everywhere ★
OK, you can spell Blogger……but can you write like one? As I mentioned last week, the Internet is becoming more and more competitive. Only the best and the brightest will survive. As one week blends into another, and two weeks become fifty-two, focus can really take a hit.
Most Bloggers would like to prosper at their chosen …
Last weeks post dealt with making a decision about your Blogging. There is no time limit on making this decision, but there will come a time when you will have to make one. I follow up last week’s post with this one; dealing with the same subject.
It’s said that you will have a clear direction in two years after you start your Blog. I’m not so sure it has to take that long. I think that after one year you should have your bearings. You either know whether you want to continue to Blog or not.
The Blog once established is a great billboard for your business. But it takes enormous energy to maintain. To stay relevant you have to stay current and up on the latest. You have to do a fair amount of research, because I’m not so sure anyone wants to hear you go on about what you alone know about your subject.
Alex Rodriguez is probably the best known baseball player out there, but he does not know everything there is to know about baseball. If you need to know who’s who in the college ranks, you’re more apt to find yourself at ESPN instead of Alex Rodriguez’s website.
There in lies the conundrum. You are so busy running your Blog, that you have no time to run your business. Those that are into Internet Marketing, have no time to run a competitive Blog. There are plenty of people out there that do one or the other full-time and make in nearly impossible for anyone to compete in both at the same time.
As a full-time Blogger, you avenue for income is with the advertisers. I know of power Bloggers who make great money with a vast variety of advertisers. But they are few and far between. There are many more Bloggers who sell their own products, but never really rank high with the power Bloggers. They are too busy designing their products.
Whatever your future direction is, you need to carry these thoughts with you so that you are able to make an informed decision. For yourself as well as your readers.
It never ceases to amaze me the variety of tools that are available to the Blogger. Blogging has become so prevalent today that the Blog itself is now considered the ultimate CMS (Content Management System). Computers, Websites, The Internet, Technology are all a pain in the ass. The more you know the worse it gets. This does not a happy population make! People have got to have something like the modern Automobile, where they just get in, turn the key and go. The Blog does just that! You can just light the candle and go. b2evolution is another user-friendly option for the new Blogger.
b2evolution includes all the features of traditional blog tools, and extends them with evolved features such as file & photo management, versatile skins, multiple blogs, detailed user permissions… not to mention plugins, of course.
b2evolution is free, open-source software (GPL), runs on virtually any webserver featuring PHP + MySQL and is available in several languages. You could compare b2evolution to Movable Type, except b2evo runs on the very common PHP/mySQL platform, which allows it to run easily on almost any web hosting service!
b2evolution also generates web pages dynamically from the MySQL database, so no clumsy ‘rebuilding’ is involved. It also means faster search/display capabilities, and the ability to serve your posts/news in different ‘templates’ or ‘skins’ without any hassle.
b2evo is probably the most comprehensive blog engine you could find, with a unique set of features including:
* Simple installation
* Multiple blog support
* Multiple user support
* Multiple skin support
* Localized in many languages
* Multilingual blogging
* Web standards compliance with integrated XHTML checker
* Clean search engine friendly permalinks
* Advanced user permission management
* Private/protected posts
* Open/closed/disabled comments
* Trackback & feedback
* Integrated hitlogs and stats
* Robust antispam features (referrer & comments)
* Plug-in architecture
* Advanced rendering plug-ins (Textile, Auto-P, BBcode… )
These are just a few of the features that are available for the New Blogger with more technical features that are offered for the advanced Blogger. The total list of features is extensive and can be viewed at their Website: b2evolution.net. If you’re new to Blogging check out b2evo. This CMS might be just what you are looking for.
