Digital marketing is at its most powerful state yet

August 18, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

digital marketing

Marketing has always played an especially important role in the longevity and success of businesses across varying industries around the globe. This has never wavered and it never will. The role of marketing is important because marketing is the epicentre of how a business controls and idealises its image across not only the industry but with clients as well. The businesses that do the best today are businesses that have well and truly come to this realisation and that have chosen to prioritise that realisation for themselves and for the business’ future. Now, as the digital era begins to propel further and further into motion, how are businesses evolving to take on advertising and marketing in the digital era and how are they using it to their most distinct advantage?

The digital era powers evolution into motion

Today, as the digital era continues to go from strength to strength, becoming more powerful all the time, innovations of business such as marketing are becoming more and more digitally inclined. While traditional marketing is always going to have its place, there is the awareness and the understanding that modern consumers have more of an inclination towards digitalisation and technological advancement in every aspect – including, as it turns out, the businesses that they support. The digital era has powered this evolution into motion in terms of not only how marketing has evolved in recent years, but how it continues to unfold as time goes on.

The powerful rise of digital marketing

This is how, where, and why digital marketing has been becoming more prominent in recent years. The power of digital marketing is not a new concept by any means, however the innovation and the willingness that businesses and entire industries around the world have towards bringing digital marketing into their company as a core construct is still relatively fresh. Whether it is asking the question, “does SEO help attract visitors?” or doing the work to incorporate social media marketing into a business’ formal approach to consumer relationships, the powerful rise of digital marketing is not only proving that businesses are evolving to digital standards but that consumers are responding to it much more positively and openly than they are to traditional marketing these days.

The future of digital marketing

Ultimately, the future of digital marketing is only going to continue to go from strength to strength as time goes on. Digital marketing has found its footing in recent years and it only continues to become bolder and stronger as the interests and investment pools continue to rise. Throughout varying industries around the globe, the dedication towards digital marketing is becoming more powerful as businesses realise the full potential that digital marketing houses and the promising trajectory that it holds going forward well into the future and beyond. This is an exciting time for digital marketing and it is hopefully just the beginning. Ideally, the best is yet to come. And what we have seen in recent months is a strong indication that that is very much the case. Only time will tell.

Importing Users from word press user back up

August 26, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

I learnt this the hard way .  I recently  re installed on my blogs. I had 5000 registered users in that blog.  I did a back up of my users from the blue host  cpanel.

import users wordpres plugins

WordPress plugins for  import users does not work

Then i re installed the blog  and tried one  wordpress back up plugin after the other and they all failed to import my  CSV back up file of the 5000 users. I typed import users and tried the first five plugins that import users with csv files . There was one that at least did something and worked , but worked wrong ( CSV user import – Visit plugin site). It uploaded the file but put the passwords salts as the username.

php my admin database back up users

It got all messed up,  then i realised in should have done this in the first instance. I went back to my bluehost cpanel / php admin  where i did the back up in the first place , and then deleted all the wrong entries  that got uploaded ( deleted 400 entiries in one go  and repeated—maybe you can do more than 400 )

wordpress users backup with php my admin  and admin panel

Then i  clicked import and imported the csv file an hey presto in a second all the 5000 users were back up.

This goes to prove that use the same tool or process to export and the same tool to import , wether it is from the php my admin  or then from the wordpress admin panel , make sure the plugin does import and export or then  the same author of the toll has created similar plugins for import or export ,w hereby you have a better chance of them working both ways together.

Also attached some snapshots of the cpanel and php my admin in blue host.

Let me know if this helped you and give us a like Smile

Online blogs that are making money – Australia

March 17, 2012 by admin 4 Comments

People think it’s easy to blog and make money, but things have changed in the blogging scene. This six figure blogpost has needed an update for a while, and so I am updating it for 2018.

The best  way to make money online is to follow  the people who actually  are doing it, unfortunately in the online world  Google slaps a Google penalty if you literally do that by copying successful bloggers . The sad reality is that some are just floggin it , while some are really blogging.

You could  follow the successful money makers and learn some stuff, but they will never really reveal the real money making secrets.

I have been blogging for the last 10 years. Writing a blog is no more about just writing a 400 word article and getting a lot of eyeballs to your article. It involves a lot more.

Yet even today they are many $5000 a month $10,000 a month bloggers and some top bloggers earning $20k plus a month.

Today the fashion and food bloggers niche has become popular and there has been an exponential rise in women bloggers too. The gadget and technology niche has always been a favourite niche for people to blog about and so is a very competitive niche too.

Follow the Top bloggers to become a money making blogger

But  there are some that up to a certain extent reveal the blogging secrets, and the smart people with the keen eye can get the clues from their posts and blog to apply them techniques on their own blogs. Making money online is a hard game  and I got some of my favourite bookmarked blogs that give me regular useful information about this methodology, that you might find useful too.

Some of the blogs that I follow, surely are some of the biggest money earners on the internet,  but in relation to handing out any useful tips to making money,  only a few of these blogs occasionally post anything useful when they are not flogging stuff to their viewers or subscribers.

So I have ranked and listed these blog’s below in order of importance to me – and for you.

Some of these  unfortunately as John Chow states, have pretty much become “internet marketing whores”  and they sometimes are blogs  that “who flog, more than they blog”  ( Yeh Yeh !! sure  John Chow – look who’s talking)

Check out these blogs for making money online

 

New websites ( 2018 Update)

MakingSenseOfCents.com ( Michelle)

Michelle is said to earn $110,284.31 a month. However you can check her recent earnings on her blog  as well.

They started off with earning as low as $20 a month and now are earning well over $20k a month.  Huffingtonpost reports, 

This was their 12-month profit: $483,883.51

But his Blog posts are AWESOME  so yeh  ” look it up “

3. Michael Gray – http://www.wolf-howl.com/

Increase your Blog user registrations

December 28, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

Makingmoney with your blog is not easy  and a fundamental thing  for making money on your blog is  readers or eyeballs to your blogs. Rss subscriptions , feed readers ,email subscriptions can certainly  portray the value  of your blog and its worth.

Look at any successful blogger and  he is sure to have  a good rss feed subscriber count or email count or then most importantly  a very high user count for his blog.  Many bloggers new to the scene fake the  user counts or then subscribers just to increase thier value of thier blog , but most of the time  these sort of tactics don’t work in the long run.

subscribe by email registrations users

Getting new subscribers like subscriptions on red bull

Recently  by accident  i realized how my  subscriber count to one of my blogs  started getting hit  with user registrations like it was on powerade or  red bull or something. This blog started to  get user registrations via the word press user registration button. All that it took to get my user registrations count from like 3 in a week to atleast  average 5 to 10 in  day regularly past the last 4 weeks now. Now i know that this is not  massive numbers  but considering the  not so massive hits that this blog gets its a very good conversion rate. Besides , what i am trying to focus on here is “ How you can increase your blog subscribers” .  I am sure  if you have a bigger blog  with bigger  number of hits  the ratio will do your blog   some good and come out with a nice registration ratio.

After analyzing the page  i realized it could be only one thing  “the post that i had posted as a featured post on the page”. I have not removed the featured post from the blog for the past 3 weeks due to my user subscriber count increasing. The post is an article on  the worlds fastest  car debuting on the Indian market and the post is in  a Indian stock market / Business blog ( blog not disclosed  due to obvious reasons). The post contained  high resolution photos of the bugatti veyron  and gave a good article on the car  as well as a very brief message to traders in  the market. Well the subscriber count has just been pouring in since then. As the content of the post regarding stock market was minimal  and the photos was the attraction of the post ,i would assume the  registration user count for the blog increased because of these photos  , as nothing else has changed in the blog.  The subscribe to button is placed right next to the first glossy photo ( on the left of it ) for people to subscribe to the blog by email.

This certainly goes to prove  that people can certainly  be attracted to register as a user to a blog  just based on good visuals and nice placement of  pics on the blog targeting the right audience with the right pics.

increase your email subscriber count

Image of the new subscribers  that have been pouring into my email account  since the change in the blog  post.

New subscribers  rss feed etc

Now also to keep in mind  that the  users that would frequent this blog would mostly be  stock traders or then people in the finance industry who are either quite well off or then  have some nice spending money and when you have a million dollar pics of the worlds fastest car , they  sure can be tempted  to hit the subscribe button  just to get informed of more nice eye candy like this just in case the blog has more similar stuff being posted soon.

Hope you learned something from this  and have a go at increasing your subscriber count. Would appreciate any feedback from experiences you have had doing this.  Good luck !!
