How to make readers engage with each other? People usually comment on the topic of the blog. How to encourage them to discuss the topic between themselves?

Great Post Darren,
Blog monetization can be a bit overwhelming especially for newbie bloggers. Adsense and affiliate marketing are quite profitable, but my favorite is freelancing/offering of services.
Also, I am glad you added a disclaimer at the end of the post so that some money oriented bloggers wont think you started making money after a month of blogging! ;-)

It is rightly said that MONEY IS IN LIST. Email is the most effective way to affect response from potential customers but this source must not be use frequently otherwise it will lose its worth and will not bring desired results

Marya,

Thanks for breaking it down for us. Getting loyal followers is not an impossible task. It does take time and real work. It is better to have people who genuinely care about what you have to offer. You have definitely summed it up. I look forward to your future posts.

To your success,
Stacie Walker

Hi all – unfortunately there is no way to be at this event ‘virtually’. I am just presenting on this one so that’s a bit beyond what I can arrange.

I can however promise we’ll have a virtual ticket for our ProBlogger Training Event in September. Like last year all the slides and audio of all 20+ sessions will be available to purchase as a virtual ticket. Stay tuned – we’ll announce how to grab your ticket in the month or so ahead.

Hey Diane –

I totally see where your coming from.

In the past I’ve also been reluctant to mail on a frequent basis.

But I find (at least for me, not saying everyone) the people who complain the loudest generally aren’t the best customers.

I think if you can provide something of value daily, go for it. But that’s the key…being able to provide that value consistently.

Anyways…I can relate with you on this one ;)

I’ve heard from several credible sources that email is still the big lead generator, lead nurturer, and money maker! That’s why I’m working on a really great incentive to build my email list, Until then, I’m really relying on social media because I only have a handful of subscribers.

Comment on How To Use Auto Responder Emails to Boost Your Blogging Efforts by Ed Forteau

I’ve been using autoresponders for years. Nice article. A good primer for building a list from the ground up.

Hi Darren,

I agree to the fact that we should balance old and new technology. It is important that we learn the new system that lies ahead while we gradually leave the obsolete.

Thanks for the share.
Louie Sison.

Normally, I’m a words person. But I love how you laid out the social media followers against email subscribers, and how effective each was at selling an ebook. A lot of us online marketers “know” that email is better, but it’s really awesome to back it up with hard numbers.

Amazing post, Darren. Affiliate marketing and AdSense are now my top performers right now. However, I also have some highly pageranked sites which makes me enough money with paid posts or sponsored reviews.

Superb, it will definitely help newbies. But I’m aware of one more fact i.e. only 1% of total will do it consistently and make profit out of it.

Another point to consider is the fact that a person doesn’t consider you relevant until they have heard of you several times or more. An autoresponder can do this for you.

We have a few thousand on our E-Mail list, however I promise my customers they will rarely hear from us, unless we are having an Art show,Art weekend, we have something relevant to say or if we’ve won an award.
Many don’t agree with this philosophy BUT my customers appreciate it. If I have to delete one more E-Mail for a garden hose, my credit score update, or someone wants to meet me, I will scream!!! I swear I will!!!

Comment on Blog This! Sometimes Going Back to Basics Leads to the Best Posts by Matt Brennan

Most business owners have some advanced industry knowledge. The trick is to remember that what may seem as basic as tying your shoe, may be brand new knowledge to your readers. Nice idea, noticing the blurry photos to detect the camera shake issue. Great post!
