Again this article is also in line of 4 things Bloggers should learn from 3 Idiots which I wrote back in January at Shoutmeloud.

When I had seen this movie, Once upon a time in Mumbai, then I think Let’s Rewind blogging life I had seen till now and write one post which talks about Bloggers in the line of Once upon a time in Mumbai. If you keep reading this blog post you will keep getting feel of the movie and It’s wonderful dialogs.

I started my blogging life with Blogspot like many other blogger and then gradually as I become more familiar with Blogging I just do Blogger to WordPress migration.

So let’s Start Rewinding Blogging life what I learn till now.

Content churaya nahi Banaya jata hai

You must listen the Dialog that “Himmat batai nahi Dikhai jati hai” in the same manner when we want to blog about something then we must have guts to write our own and creative content. You must listen 100 times that Content is KING and yes one more time I will tell you Content is King. The more unique content you write the more probability to get good ranking. Google don’t like duplicate content.

When you are doing plagiarism (content theft) you are harming you blog. It as good as Smoking Habit, you are not going to die in single day but still smoking harms. If you are have very good blog and you want your content to be safe then you can protect yourself from Content Theft by WordPress plugin.

I forgot to mention that this Title is (Content churaya) is suggested by Internet Marketing Journal Co- Founder, Dipali Thakkar.

Jab Dost banane se kamm ho sakata hai to Dushman Kyu banaye

Many bloggers fails to take advantage for Social Media and Comment on others blog. When you are in Bloggers world then you start to do compliment each other not competition with each other. Commenting on Others blog can give you advantage of Backlink, New Visitors, Personal Branding, new Contacts and so on. While you are also active on Social Media then It will be added advantage you can use this to making news Friends and Facebook Fans too.

Social Media is power tool for bloggers. You can cerate your own Brand among your niche. It not only helps you have more visitors but also helping you to take advantage of Viral Marketing.

Aaj ki Blog post kaal pe chhod du to aaj Bura man jayega

Stop smiling guys and let’s be serious. This is for keep continuity in blogging. You should keep blogging on regular intervals. It should not like that in day/week you post 3-4 post and then disappear for few time and again come with some random post.

It is also not mean that you should keep blogging Daily. You must have regular interval in you blog. Daily, Weekly, Fortnight etc. If you are updating your blog regular your visitor must be knowing that He/She will get next update after certain interval. If you get time once to write more then one blog post then I will advise you to use schedule posting. This facility is available in all major blogging platform.

Sher se Haal Chalaoge to Kishan to marega hai…

Many time you might be read that Niche Blog can help you to earn more and get some specific kind of visitors (based on topic). This is very true said but you have to keep in mind above said Dialogue  (dialog) that Don’t try to pull the Cart if you are Lion. If you are planning to have niche blog only for Adsense then think again. Choose your topic wisely.

If you feel “Nano Technology” buzzing thing and you should blog about it, but think before act. Just check your strength for that Topic. Just take an example if  you are Commerce Student then why don’t you to start blog about Financial topic or economics compare to any Pure Scientifically subjects.

and Finally

Zindagi Ho to Blogger jaisy

Yeah ! Being blogger is can give lot many things. Starting from Flexible timing, To work with you Passionate Subjects, Name and Fame and of-course Money too. If you are part time blogger then It might be some extra money for you and If you are full time Blogger then literally Sky is limit.

In concussion I just want to say don’t forgot to share your “Dua” (comments) about this post. Apart from this I am visiting Mumbai Bloggers meet on 15th Aug. Any one from you visiting there ? Comment here. We will try to meet there.

This is Guest Post by Sam Bakker

There has been much online debate concerning the true effectiveness of Facebook groups for businesses in comparison to fan pages. There are two main differences that distinguish one from the other. Facebook groups are typically business based and rely on engaging Facebook users through conversation about itself. This contrasts Facebook fan pages, whose main purpose for the majority is to see humorous or opinionated ideas. They have a laugh, click the “Like” button and share it with their friends by being associated with it.

I recall the first time I created a group page on Facebook for a local business. Much of my attention was spent making it look nice and clean. Expecting Facebook users to love my new page and support me for making it, I sent out requests to my 500 friends. Two days passed by with only 8 Facebook users signing up to my group… and half of them were related to me. In contrast to this, I witnessed a Facebook fan page go from no members to 80,000 within days. It got me thinking as to whether I had made the right decision by creating a group for my client’s business.

That incident got me thinking about the possibility of generating viral traffic with simple one-liners whether being funny or controversial. I had seen on many occasions these simple statements gather massive momentum. Just last week, I witnessed a fan page called “There’s always one friend who eats everyone’s gherkins in McDonalds” go from single figures to now 44,000 fans. And the title isn’t even funny!

Fan pages don’t have to be perfect; in most cases, it’s just a topic you know others are interested in. In my experience, group pages tend not to go viral unless it is a compelling page that offers value to the user. Fan pages on the other hand go viral on a regular basis, making them the perfect marketing tool for internet marketers like us.

The key is to figure out a legitimate system that works a fan page ‘til it’s on the verge of going viral. What I’ve found on Facebook is that it takes around 20,000 fans for a page to go viral, growing on an almost exponential level. With that in mind, 20,000 fans becomes our aim.

When I first started my Facebook group page I was unsure whether it was the right move to make. It was…however I learnt later is that a group on Facebook needs fans from various sources to succeed; the main one being “Facebook Fan Pages.” Once a fan page goes viral, your business can tap into an ever increasing number of users. This boosts performance and profitability. For this reason, Facebook fan pages should be the main strategy for directing fans to your business page, Fan pages are the most viral marketing tool available online. Your challenge is now: how do I build up 20,000 fans and put marketing on autopilot?

If you want to solve most buzzing word “Social Media Optimization” here I am with you. I had make one presentation about “Social Media Optimization”

In this presentation you will find

• What is Social Media Optimization?
• Why Social Media Optimization is required?
• What are the possible media to promote it?
• How we can use this media / platform to promote our Blog / Website / Services? And this all in very simple language.

What is SMO?

Social media optimization (SMO) is a set of methods for generating publicity through social media, online communities and community websites. Methods of SMO include adding RSS feeds, social news buttons, blogging, and incorporating third-party community functionalities like images and videos. Social media optimization is related to search engine marketing, but differs in several ways, primarily the focus on driving traffic from sources other than search engines, though improved search ranking is also a benefit of successful SMO.

Why SMO ?

• Increase Internet Authority
• Branding & Brand recall
• Increase brand visibility
• Direct communication with prospect user / buyer / seller
• Reach to niche audience
• Latest way of marketing and promotions
• Stand out of the crowd
• Drive more traffic
• Back links

Election fever had started now in India and many people who are using internet regularly can see internet advertisement of L K Advani, Jaagore and some other leading politician of India. Now the question is that will this active campaign can change voters mind or can this provide more information about candidate / party or this will really turning point to get more influence?

As many people know news which is released before few days back that “Narendra Modi beats all in web popularity” . I feel this is just due to Modiji is spreading his brand vertically not horizontally. I mean to say that he was using all media including internet since long. Now this election gives idea to start their own site / blog as they had seen example of Barak Obama at USA and Narendra Modi at Gujarat.

If anyone wants to influence people for getting good votes then they must use this procedure:
(this all things done by political party’s / individuals IT team so don’t thing that any politician is going to do this)

• Promote your work / achievement and present the same in statistical manner or visual manner (I must say here : if any)
• Use social media like Facebook, Twitter up to the mark. If required make micro-blogging atomized.
• Join discussion forum and share your achievements
• Rather spending much on PPC spend it on Banners on specific sites like news site / leading portals / Social Network
• Spend on specific keyword for PPC. You also can make customized ads for different keywords.
• Use all media like News, Photos, Video, Podcast, RSS, Social Networking, micro blogging etc
• Make your site interactive, anyone can ask you question or anyone can post comments. This will give user personal touch.

Any political party or individual can influence voter if they can able to reach to voter and convey about their achievement and manifesto as they are going to target educated and young crowd.

Just check list of active websites which design by / for / about Election 2009 or Political personality (Sorted Alphabetically – suggest me if I am missing anyone)

• http://www.bjp.org
• http://www.congress.org.in
• http://www.jaagore.com
• http://www.lkadvani.in
• http://www.narendramodi.in
• http://www.soniagandhi.org

I think Internet Marketing, Social Media Optimization is necessary for all who want to get more audience if they are politicians or if they are business person.
