Get Reputation Using Cool Slogans and Taglines
You see a lot of blogs online that have cool taglines. Just to name a couple well known blogs:
- ShoeMoney.com – “Skills to pay the Bills”
- John Chow – “I make money online by telling others how much money I make online”
- John Cow – “Making money online by milking the internet”
- LifeHacker – “Tips and downloads for getting things done”
- Problogger.com – “Blog tips to help you make money blogging”
- GoogleTesting.blogspot.com – “If it ain’t broke, you aren’t trying hard enough” (they even have a nice post about how life is too short for slogans)
As you can see I picked some of the more well known blogs in the niches that I am interested in, but the point is that they have taglines or slogans that match the niche they are in. The made a name for their blogs, by pushing their taglines all over the place. A slogan or tagline is supposed to stick with the reader after they leave your blog. If you do it correctly, your blog will have the same affect.
I know there are a lot more blogs with slogans that are much better, but I just shot through a bunch that I know and are more well known throughout the niche.
What types of blog slogans have you come across in your daily surf through the interweb?
Private Post Passwords Available via FEED Only
If you are looking for a way into my Member Area section, you will have to subscribe to my blog. The passwords are available in my feed only. There is a small section at the bottom of my feed called the “feed footer”, there I have advertising and RIGHT after that short ad there is a 6 letter word. That word is a password that will get you into the posts that I have made private for subscribers only.
In this members area I will have exclusive content regarding the ways that I MADE money online. Not just ways that you CAN make money online. When there is a program that works for me and pays out, I will post it there, but you must have a password to see the content.
If you want to learn from my experiences, go ahead and subscribe, then check out the member area when you see the password in tomorrows feed footer.
I Signed Up For SocialSpark.com
Some of you know that I have been doing posts for Payperpost.com for a little more than one year. For some of you that know about Payperpost.com you also know that they started a new website for bloggers to make money and that one is called SocialSpark. Well, I signed up for that one as soon as it was available for beta.
I made some pretty good money with PPP, and it really made me a better writer. With more advertisers and features for bloggers, I knew that I could do even better with SocialSpark.com. The new user interface is really nice and I love the little flame guy as a mascot. SocialSpark.com is based on a new ranking system by Izea called, realrank. This actually measures the visitors and pageviews and puts a number to it. Then it takes your numbers and puts them against the other in your category. The lower the number your blog has, the higher you are ranking among other blogs.
Just a quick look at their code of ethics:
-100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure
-100% Transparency
-100% Real Opinions
-100% Search Engine Friendly
SocialSpark.com brings advertisers and bloggers together in a mash up of statistics (realrank), opportunities and bonus payments for the best posts. As a blogger you have options that you can take provided that you are qualified. Those include a sponsored post (like this one), blog sponsorship and a free post known as a spark. If you take a spark you are basically creating a post for someone and not getting paid for it. Kind of like a “scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” type of thing.
With each opportunity you can leave comments, give “props” and talk to other members that have taken the same opp. This creates a nice community feeling among the advertisers and bloggers. Giving “props” to an advertisers allows them to see how the bloggers feel about the requirements and payment for the opp. I think it’s nice rating system to use and it can only help the overall community in the long run.
So, I am now signed up as sukosaki (you can add me as a friend, too) and I am going to start working on my real rank so that I am qualified for better opps.
Who Wants to Help Me Get to 40 Subscribers?
It looks like my blog has been stuck at about 37-38 subscribers for about one month now. I know that I haven’t been posting as much as I could lately, but I figured that my subscriber count wouldn’t halt until I hit around 100 lucky readers.
With all my projects lined up for this year, the posting here is going to get quite interesting. I have many websites using different affiliate techniques and I really want to share the results, if any, that I have success or failure with.
If you want to help me reach 40 subscribers, go ahead and subscribe by email and my goal for the week is done. If you have an entrecard.com account, I will send you 75 credits, just send your account email address to sukosaki [at] gmail [dot] com.
