The Perks of Writing a Blog about Domain Names

 blogging

You can read blogs about the domain industry, however, if you spend the time to write a blog about the domain industry, there are quite a few perks that often get overlooked.  Of course, getting long term sponsors like National A-1 and Domain Tools is a big plus, but the list of perks goes much further than just sponsorships.

Running a blog gives you a chance to promote your own products and services to a relevant, targeted audience.  With your own website, you have the power to market all you want.  While the idea is not to make every post a product pitch, readers who are on your site might find your writing interesting enough to browse around. 

When you can’t find an advertiser to fill a spot, you can create your own ads for your own products and services.  Beyond this, you can fill up spots with third-party ads like Google adsense or search out relevant affiliate offers that are tailored to your audience – such as discounts on domain registrations.

You can connect with readers, domainers, developers, and other people within the domain and marketing industry quickly who are willing to share advice and opinions.  I’ve had a chance to chat with Stephen Douglas, Bill Kara, Andrew Rosener, Shane Cultra, and a number of people in the domain industry.  Despite being anonymous, lots of people find the content acceptable.  Sure, it’s hard to build up trust when you’re anonymous, but people build up trust through their writing also, not just throug their name.

I started this blog in September 2009 and thanks to Francois Carillo (Cybertonic), I was able to quickly reach an audience by getting listed on his widely read Domaining.com website.  As a result of the listing, traffic to Fusible soared from 0 visitors in September to over 20,000 unique visitors per month.  The site has been mentioned in The Guardian, Calvin Ayre, and on a number of well-respected domain industry blogs.

To blog or not to blog?
 
If you’ve got a domain blog and you’re looking to reach an audience, I’d highly recommend getting set up on Domaining.com.  The set up fee is well worth it.

If you enjoy writing about domain names, you owe it to yourself to get a blog up and running.  It’s basically on the job training that gives you a chance to learn about the industry by writing about it.

Some might argue that blogging is a waste of time, but if you really enjoy it, you can reap a lot of benefits, even if it’s not all money.

New to Domaining? ShoeMoney Looks to Revolutionize How to Make Money Online for the Internet Newbie

"Shoemoney System"With tons of web sites claiming to show you how to make money without giving you the actual means, Jeremy Schoemaker of Shoe Money (a proven moneymaker with a multi million dollar business made famous by his $132,994.97 Google Adsense check) is claiming his brand-new system will more than certainly help you make money online.

Unlike some people who have achieved success by luck, then blog about things that don’t make the least bit of sense – Jeremy has consistently done the opposite.

Jeremy Schoemaker is not only one of the most successful affiliate marketers on the internet, he is also a domainer/developer building sites like Fighters.com and more. He shares a lot of useful information on his blog, but in the first quarter of 2010, he is reportedly going to introduce the Shoe Money System which has the potential to revolutionize making money online. Jeremy will be detailing the step-by-step process for making money, giving those interested a better picture of how to achieve success with concrete examples.

Most importantly, the price to get the information is rumored to be ridiculously cheap. Jeremy is essentially staking his reputation on it among all his loyal readers.

ShoeMoney is one of our regular reads, and WE PLAN to check out his system once it’s released and will let you know our thoughts.

You can watch a sneak peek of the Shoe Money system at ShoeMoneySystem.com.

According to the ShoeMoney Blog

We are planning to change the entire “how to make money online” industry ShoeMoney System launching early q1 of 2010. In the ShoeMoney system we:

Walk complete newbies through every process of making money on the internet.

Have over $2500 in coupon codes from every major advertising network.

Will be at a very low pricepoint so people are not investing thousands just to find out its not for them.

Will WAY over deliver with hundreds of hours of content.

Teach from our many years in building successful companies

I don’t think the cess pool known as “how to make money online” is ready for something like we are going to offer and I believe our system will change that industry forever.

Whether you are launching a new company or are just an affiliate marketer ask yourself what *new* value are you bringing to the table? What are you doing that others are not ? What are you doing that others can not? What story are you telling?
