Instead, your main goal is to get people to your product page and to get them to make a purchase right away.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Most blogs that are devoted to product sales don't carry any advertising, because they don't want to distract visitors from making a purchase.</p> <p class="Warning" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">This kind of blog is the most difficult to diversify in terms of where your income comes from. That limitation leaves you a little vulnerable to changes in the industry, economy, or even changes in how the search engines rank your site, which can and does happen. Two possible defenses are</p> <ul class="level-one" style="padding:0px 1rem;margin:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><li><p class="first-para" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:24px"> You can diversify what you sell; for example, you can teach classes or host events that use your product line.</p></li><li><p class="first-para" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:24px"> You can pursue complimentary sponsorship opportunities; for example, you can promote your favorite sewing machine brand if your online store sells fabric and notions.</p></li></ul><p class="Remember" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> The best way to promote this kind of blog is by creating valuable content that other bloggers will want to share with their readers. This means your blog posts can't just be about selling products. Instead, they should focus on being informative, entertaining, or educational.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Additionally, intermediate to advanced level search engine optimization skills are going to be very important to your success. You will want to optimize your content for the right keywords, and also optimize your product images so that your blog can be found via Google's Image Search.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">You don't need large amounts of traffic to be successful with this kind of blog — instead, you need small amounts of traffic but visitors who are highly interested in your products. And finally, occasional giveaways of free products will draw attention to your blog and help you find new readers.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">To summarize, here are four recommended ways to be successful with a blog that promotes product sales:</p> <ul class="level-one" style="padding:0px 1rem;margin:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><li><p class="first-para" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:24px"> Create useful content that your potential customers will value and want to share with others.</p></li><li><p class="first-para" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:24px">Learn intermediate- to advanced-level search engine optimization.</p> </li><li><p class="first-para" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:24px">Pursue sponsorship opportunities as long as they are complimentary to your business and offer value to your customers.</p> </li><li><p class="first-para" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:24px">Focus on finding the right kind of traffic rather than large amounts of traffic.</p></li></ul><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> For a good example of this kind of blog, check out <a href="http://papercrave.com/" style="color:rgb(1,69,138)">Paper Crave</a>.

You do this by offering free or low-cost resources and gradually encouraging your customers to purchase larger products or services from you.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Your most effective content will be articles that demonstrate you can fix the problems your clients need help with. Consider building a mailing list to develop relationships with people who prefer e-mail over RSS. And make it easy for readers to contact you — feature your contact form or information prominently on your blog template.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Because the goal of your blog is to get new clients, advertising can sometimes detract from this goal. Most professional blogs in this category don't have enough daily traffic to make advertising worth the time, anyway. There certainly are exceptions to this, especially when you can find advertisers or affiliate programs for products that enhance and don't compete with your services.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">One of the most effective ways to diversify your income on this kind of blog is to create your own training products that make your expertise available at a lower price than in a traditional client relationship. This way you create new revenue while also giving potential clients a way to test the waters with you.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">You can also create simple service packages of frequently requested projects like Shannon from<a href="http://eightcrazydesigns.com/design-services" style="color:rgb(1,69,138)">EightCrazy Designs</a>. Her Design Services page features bundled packages such as an Etsy store banner, avatar, and custom-order image for a flat fee. The best ways to promote this kind of blog online involve social media interactions and search engine optimization.</p> <p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">To summarize, recommended ways to be successful with a blog that promotes your freelance or consulting services are to:</p> <ul class="level-one" style="padding:0px 1rem;margin:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><li><p class="first-para" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:24px"> Generate high-quality content that showcases your expertise.</p></li><li><p class="first-para" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:24px">Know your niche so you don't need heavy traffic in order to be profitable.</p> </li><li><p class="first-para" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:24px">Minimize advertising so you don't distract readers from hiring you.</p></li><li><p class="first-para" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:24px"> Build a sales funnel in which you lead customers into a working relationship with you.</p></li><li><p class="first-para" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:24px">Consider starting an e-mail newsletter.</p> </li><li><p class="first-para" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:24px">Diversify the way you earn money by creating your own products to sell.</p></li><li><p class="first-para" style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:24px"> Set aside time every week to build relationships on LinkedIn,Facebook, and Twitter.</p></li></ul><p style="margin:0.75em 0px;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:24px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> A good example of this kind of blog is <a href="http://www.escapefromcubiclenation.com/" style="color:rgb(1,69,138)">Escape from Cubicle Nation</a>, written by Pam Slim.
