Two questions I am asked on a frequent basis are “What type of blogs are there?” and “What type of blog is right for me?“ I will explain three main blog types and use the perfect metaphor everyone can relate to. This article will better explain the blog types and show you how to approach each. The metaphor I am using compares blog types to relationships; the similarities are striking!
Blog Type 1: Branding Yourself
The first blog type we will discuss is branding yourself. These blogs are increasing in popularity due to an increasing number of people entering the “make money online” industry. Branding-your-self blogs serve as a solid foundation and the perfect starting point for anyone who wants to make money online. The reason is, it’s hard to “mess-up” a blog about yourself. Blog about any and everything, add your own personal touch attract your target audience. When you begin online, you want to establish yourself before jumping head first into a niche. It’s about getting your feet wet, understanding your capabilities and limits.
So where’s the comparison? I compare branding-yourself-blogs to being single. You are learning about yourself and your audience, you can do anything you want without any real consequence. You do, however, have to invest time into these blogs to keep them “groomed” and “interesting” for any reader who stumbles upon it… Read the rest of this entry »

In today’s Internet marketing industry, blogs are having more and more influence on the way things work. Whenever there is a new product, new program, or new opportunity, hundreds of people are setting up targeted blogs all over the world in order to capitalize on the new and upcoming trends. I know because I am one of those people and do daily research, not only on upcoming trends, but on increasing competition for a particular niche as well. It is essential to know what your competitors are doing so you can go the extra step to beat them out for that keyword. I know, it sounds like a ferocious battle and it is… Let me give you some pointers to win it.
I am Shannon Murphy, co-founder of Max Blog Money Pro Blog Edition, Max Blog Money Premier, and several niche sites web-wide. I use nothing but a blog for every aspect of my business, from promotions, to product launches, to membership sites. Why? Because blogs are easy, user-friendly, and extremely dangerous (in a good way). A correctly optimized blog can destroy search engine rankings for many different keywords simultaneously. Content can be visible to readers in a matter of hours allowing your information, opportunities, and or businesses/services to be seen virtually in real time. All of these factors are making blogs the website platform of choice for marketers worldwide.
So how do we profit from blogging? There are two main ways to profit from blogging, niche blogging and informative blogging. Niche blogging is based around a particular niche, created for very specific long-tail keywords. Niche blogs are usually created to capitalize quickly on upcoming trends, or capitalize on a “forgotten” niche with very little competition, high search volume, and income opportunity.
