It has been really long since a post from CopyBlogger was lying open on one of my 50 Firefox tabs which I keep open most of the time!

This one was titled - Is Blogging Keeping You Poor?

Today, I could read it and realized why didn’t I do it long back! Infact while Jonathan Morrow would have been framing this post, I was thinking on the same lines so as to escalate the business to a next level.

Writing for clients for their websites/blogs has been my activity for the initial 6 months of my work-from-home regime. I actually loved it, and I still do! There is no wrong in doing it if you’re a noob and do not understand of the business model that move around the posts you write for your clients. A 5$ posts written by a fresh blogger ends up making 25$ for the Internet Marketer/ blog owner. Else why would he pay that 5$?

This indeed is a simple math but it takes time for a noob to understand. I was no different. Still, I do not curse the time when I wrote 4$ articles for a client. It made me learn how to WRITE for business blogs. Believe me, it’s so very different from writing those school essays which would make you win a competition!

Internet marketing business today have changed leaps and bounds and you really need to know the strategies which the "big boys" use to make money out of you, using you head and keystrokes!

In Jonathan Morrow’s words,

Partnering is the missing ingredient for blogging success. Yes, you can start a blog on your own. Yes, you can make it popular by yourself. Yes, you can stay involved in it forever. But if you ever want to profit from it, you need to partner with other people.

For bloggers who get into professional blogging for Adsense income, Jonathan says,

Brian didn’t monetize Copyblogger by stuffing it full of ads. Instead, he used the visibility of being an A-list blogger to attract a talented group of partners so he could create relevant products and services for the audience he attracted.

So the idea is to learn what blogging is and how to impress your clients with your work to get noticed amongst the new clients. This would help you have a good clientele and hence a great portfolio.

There after, you can get some like-minded bloggers/Internet business guys to work together on something that would make your business grow.

Freelance writing is not the key to success in long terms, if this is something you’re planing to base your bread and butter on.

After years of wandering in the blog-o-sphere, having a website and a personal blog, writing hundreds of articles/stories/posts for a plethora of clients, I have finally made it a dream come true by kicking off this sage advice blog. I am not the best yet, and would never be one. Learning is the phase where in I always what to see myself. But it’s been years of amateur blogging, consulting and writing.

It took me years to learn the skills, business and the inside scoop of the blog-o-sphere. More importantly, the social web. This blog intends to reveal the secrets and facts which are sometimes known and often not. This blog is not monetized using any of the programmes like Google Adsense, TLA, etc. as for now, that is not the aim of this blog.

I would be glad to help your bloggers and ‘freelance’ writers who have just kicked off with a new wordpress.com or blogger.com blog and think of having a 6-figure income over the next 2 years! It’s time now, for them, to get a flavor of what lies beneath this blog business and the social media.

I started off as a ‘freelance writer’ as well and graduated to having a business of my own which shall be talked about as the new year arrives! We are working on it for now. Sill, I work as an independent blogger and evangelist, writing blog posts, research articles and analysis for corporate clients and business.

If you’re willing to have a review of your blog/website and wish to know what more I can you do to improve your online presence, feel free to contact me.
