So I Published Keyword Planner Tips There
|
I'd spent some time on Bubblews before but mostly in and out and gone. Yesterday, I went in with the intent of learning more and participating with the community to gain some additional insight. Wow - $7 earned for a few posts and I had to pull myself away in the wee hours.
I decided to use the site to share 5 cool features you can use in the Google Keyword Planner. Now, Bubblews doesn't allow for HTML (which is my "thing" but it's amazing how much writing you can get done when you don't have to worry about formatting) so the post isn't pretty but you can click on the images to enlarge them.The list covers five ways I use the tool for keyword research including how I make my competitors help me out
. The post may teach you something new. If not, it may at least show you HOW to use the new Keyword Planner to do things you used to do with the old tool.

Creating Blogspot Blogs for Amazon - Do This
|
Don't forget that if you're creating a Blogspot blog and will be including your Amazon affiliate links in the site you still need to put your Amazon Associates disclosure on the site. I use a text widget in the sidebar and paste the text into that box and title it Disclosure.

Now, for Bubblews Tips
|
What a strange, little site! By far the easiest place I've ever worked with when it comes to publishing content. No one's looking over you shoulder, no modules to drag around, you can write about almost anything and you don't have to worry about HTML. (I even wrote a post about getting supplies for my son's school project.)
Here's their deal - they're building up a social site akin to Facebook but they're willing to pay for the content. They know that your content is going to earn them money over time so they're willing to pay to build up the site. You earn money for views, likes, comments - pennies at a time but the community is incredibly active and views from other members count, too. Now, don't get any foolish ideas for gaming the system. That's just going to blow up in your face. It's easy enough to get views legitimately through some community participation so you can get a feel for how it works.
Google indexes Bubblews posts very quickly and they can rank very well for low comp keywords. The attraction, though, is the potential to get paid for your content. I haven't earned a payment yet (you have to make $25 or more in order to redeem a payment) but I did have a one-on-one email discussion with PotPie Girl about her experience (she had no problem) and I know several Squidoo lensmasters who have built up lots of content on the site and also haven't had any issues getting paid. I mention this, though, because there are stories online about folks who didn't get paid and so I'm proceeding with a degree of caution and suggest you do, too.
I am in no way recommending you build up an empire on the site but have you ever had a time when you had something to share or something you wanted to write about and you had no place to put it? This might be the place you go. I also mention this because there are folks who have never made a cent online and they might find this site gives them an easier opportunity to do so. If I can make $7 in a day and it took me months to see my first $0.16 on Squidoo, well...How did I get $7 in a day? Here's exactly what I did:
Wrote a few posts - some personal, some funny, some tutorials Shared links to some of those posts in Facebook, Google+ and Twitter Made "connections" (like Friends on Facebook) with some people in the community and spent time commenting on their posts, liking their posts and commenting on profiles Looked for friends and lensmasters I knew who were on the site and connected with them also taking time to read their material, comment, and give a "like" to their material
How to Use the Site: - Register and log in
- In the top right of the screen are some navigation options - click on your user name to visit your profile
- Click the orange Edit Profile button and choose the Informer layout (this will make it easier for profile visitors to find a list of your posts and see your Top 5 posts)
- Fill out your bio and add a profile image
- Submit/Save the changes made in each column of your profile settings
-
To create a post click on the orange Submit button at the top of the screen
- Enter a title
- Add an image for your post - that makes it more visually attractive - you can even use banner.fotor.com to make your own, simple, intro image
- Write your post
- Enter a few tags at the bottom of your content by adding a + sign with your tag immediately following the + sign (example: +keyword or +writing or +keywordresearch)
- Enter the captcha and publish your content
-
To connect with someone you know, find their profile and scroll down until you see a green Connect button and click on that button
- Leave a comment on the person's profile to let them know you dropped by
- Visit some of their posts and click the Like bubble to give them a like
- You can comment on posts at the bottom of each post
- Browse the site for topics that interest you by clicking on a category in the grey bar at the very top of the screen
- Visit and read some of the posts in the category - give them a like if you feel it's appropriate
-
Click on the author's name under the post title to visit their profile and scroll down to the green Connect button to connect with them
Once you have connections, you'll be notified of your connections' activity under the Notifications tab next to your user name in the navigation menu. Keep an eye on that. It will tell you when someone has connected with you, someone has commented on your post, and other activity. That notification stream is your key to building more connections. You'll see when someone new has connected with you so you can do the same.
If someone has liked your post you might want to visit something of theirs and return the favor.
Participating in the community can be time consuming but it will improve your results.
If my 16 year old were just a couple of years older I'd have him start here. His kind of writing is cerebral and off the cuff but he and his friends would have a lot of fun there. Please read the site's Terms of Service before you get started so you're sure to follow the rules. |
