Though you may not see it as a way to make money, it is still something that you can do as a fun hobby. Here are some of the blogging basics and how you can get started with your blog.

Stay Consistent

Do not base your success off of comments and views and base it off of how consistent you are.
If you are able to get these blogging basics down, then you will be able to start blogging. Starting and running a blog is really not that tough and as long as you choose a niche that you have a passion for, you will never get sick of making blog posts.

Mobile Marketing
Mobile marketing has been a
concept that has attained various definitions. It is primarily described to be
the marketing strategy that makes use of mobile media to communicate with a
target market. Recently a more updated definition was given by the Mobile
Marketing Association, saying that mobile marketing is actually a combination
of practices that gives organizations the ability to engage, communicate and
interact with their audience through a mobile device or network.
The most popular mobile
device used for this is a cell-phone. To use this medium, you will need to set
up a short code and have your customers register to receive your SMS or text
messages. Mobile optimization will also make sure that your website is
displayed correctly on a mobile phone browser. Search engine optimization has
undergone many changes that made internet marketers become more interested in
the mobile version of their optimized websites compared to the traditional
website optimization. Most mobile phones today have internet access or wireless
capabilities. These devices have provided more flexibility on both the
business' and consumer's ends in terms of receiving and sending data related to
the products or services which a company offers.
The most typical types of
mobile marketing include the use of MMS or Multimedia Messaging Service,
Bluetooth technology, Infrared and Mobile Internet. Marketing through a mobile
device is now a trend in many developed countries where almost every one has a
mobile phone. This is also a more cost-effective method of promoting your
business and is much easier for most age groups to understand. More time is now
spent online with the use of these devices, making your business available to
consumers who are always on the go and would still want to receive updates from
your end.
In MMS mobile marketing, a
slideshow of text and images that may include a video or audio is a perfect way
to capture a potential customer's attention effectively. The ad is delivered
via MMS. The use of Bluetooth technology in marketing makes use of radio based
frequencies to transfer data on higher speeds. Infrared, on the other hand, is
a bit limited, as its frequency range only reaches as far as 1 meter.
Mobile marketing is a new
way to ensure customer awareness and boost your sales. With all the new smart
phones, tablets and modern mobile devices, mobile marketing is definitely destined
to progress in the years to come.
All the major internet
marketing methods have been discussed in detail in this guide. It is now up to
you to choose which one you prefer, however, remember the things that you need
to have in order to succeed – good research, a positive mindset and attitude,
diligence, patience and focus. All the best!

Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing is
basically the process of marketing your business through social media portals
such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. This allows for businesses to have a
more personal and dynamic interaction and connection with their clients and
potential customers.
Strategies in social media
marketing can be as simple as maintaining a blog, a Facebook or Twitter account
or attaching “tweet this” icons to the end of your articles or ads. It can also
be as complex as having a full campaign that includes blogging, social
networking, tweeting and spreading viral videos.
As marketing is the process
of informing consumers what your business is, who you are and what your
products are, social media further helps in introducing your business to a
global network of possible customers. The use of social media to prove a
business' identity and to create business relationships with people who do not
have the chance be aware of your products and services is a highly recommended
option in internet marketing. Moreover, it is an avenue that can be accessed by
anyone who has an internet connection and is an inexpensive way to implement
your marketing strategies and business campaigns.

Banner Ads
A banner ad is basically a graphic, text or an image displayed on websites that aim to promote a company's product or service. They are actually small HTML codes, but their importance in internet marketing and business is significant. Banner ads vary in sizes and orientation but will often come in rectangular shape and are 486 x 60 pixels high (full banner). There is actually no universal rule when it comes to banner ad file sizes, but the size will still depend on the website where it will be displayed. These sites impose certain limits to banner sizes since it adds up to the total size of the web page they are displayed on, thereby resulting to more waiting times while the page loads on a browser.
Due to the banner ads'
graphic elements, you may find these ads somehow similar to those you see in
printed media such as magazines and newspapers. However, these banner ads have
the ability to direct the user to the advertiser's main web page. If you are
interested in displaying or posting a banner on a certain website, you can
arrange with the publisher to have your banner posted or pay a banner network
to post the ad on a number of websites. You may also arrange with the publisher
to simply display their ads on your site in exchange for them displaying your
banner ads.

Pop-up Ads
During your internet surfing time, you probably have come across many of these pop-up ads. These are advertisement windows that appear once you visit a website. Their aim is to generate traffic or simple capture your e-mail address.
Many people have found this
internet marketing method quite annoying since it disrupts them from getting
information from the website they are viewing. However, these ads, intrusive as
they have been tagged, also have certain advantages. For one, they are much
more effective than banner ads. They pull up a 15% click through rate while the
banners only yield a mere 3%. Pop-up ads also are effective and gives a click
through percentage of 6.5. Since they are more effective than banner ads, they
also cost you a lot more. However, the return on investment with the use of
these ads is much higher. Furthermore, when this ad is the only window on the
page, there will be no other images that will conflict with the brand that you
are selling.
In the recent years though,
these advertising methods have become less popular due to the development of
pop-up blockers.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO
Whenever you search for a topic on Google, Yahoo or MSN, you usually get pages and pages of websites that have the keywords you typed in the search bar. Have you ever wondered why a particular website is listed first on the results of your search? The primary reason for this is Search Engine Optimization.
Search engine optimization
allows a website to become search engine friendly, making it rank higher on
search results compared to other websites that have the same keyword contents.
Usually, these search engines read and archive sites regularly so that they can
be found easily whenever a search is performed by a user. For example, if a
user types in “parenting” in the search bar and your website is about the same
topic and is optimized properly, your website will appear in the first page of
the search results.
Basically, SEO makes your
website easier for these search engines to understand. Its goal is to increase
your website's rank in the search results that will in turn bring in more
traffic to your site. Remember, the more traffic you get, the more potential
for profit you will have.
On-site and off-site
factors are the ones that can determine your search engine rankings. On-site
factors include your page content and your title heading. Off-site factors like
pages that link to your site, words used to link to your page and how long such
link has existed also come into play. It is important that you focus on your
site's SEO continuously because if you get good search engine rankings
consistently, you will always have free traffic.
