0.000 HBDMaking Some Noise: How To Establish Your Blog In The Markets
<html>
<p><strong>When non internet marketing people first hear about top bloggers making thousands of dollars monthly, then their first reaction usually is : "Huh? Seriously? How?".</strong></p>
<p>I asked myself the very same question. </p>
<h3>If these million dollar bloggers don't earn their money on steemit, where does the revenue come from then?</h3>

<h1>Learning From The Best</h1>
<p><strong>There are some content creators out in the internet that make over $100,000 per month. </strong></p>
<p>Not surprisingly a lot of people - like us :-) - are trying to enter this prosperous market.</p>
<p>Steemit is providing a genious opportunity to monetize content. However, from a global perspective the top bloggers are making their living otherwise (still).</p>
<h3>These are the top 3 income categories:</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Affiliate earnings (via affiliate links)</strong> - Money bloggers own for referring sales to another company through blog posts</li>
<li><strong>Advertising </strong>- Money bloggers get paid for to show ads on their site or get clicks on these ads.</li>
<li><strong>Products & Services</strong> - Money bloggers get for selling their own products and services to their blog audience.</li>
</ol>

<h3><strong>Probably in the near future there will appear a point no. 4: "Blogging on steemit" :-)</strong></h3>
<p>Since steemit's blogging interface still doesn't permit to integrate any advertising or affiliate embeds and I personally don't have any products or services to offer, I've started to call some attention for my blog in a different way. </p>
<h2>Nobody gets famous / rich overnight. </h2>
<p><strong>Every journey starts with the very first step which in this case means: "making some noise". </strong></p>
<p>My blog posts are mainly dedicated to <em>outdoors</em>, <em>surfing</em>, <em>nature </em>and other related topics. The brands I've started to reach out are directly related to that thematic group. </p>
<h3>Bearing in mind that the final goal is to establish the blog in the relevant markets, your approach should be sales oriented from the very first instance. </h3>

<h1>Here Are My Very First Attempts "Making Some Noise"</h1>
<h2>Shared the story about my new surfing outfit on Twitter, tagged @oneillwomens (5,7K followers) and they liked it:</h2>
<p><img src="https://scontent-mad1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18527530_1469562543126292_9136514547605744687_n.jpg?oh=576fd341172ba3d6ea9660c90a5158df&oe=59B32148" width="634" height="833"/></p>
<h2>Tweeted some edited surf photography and @SurfingTopNews retweeted it and shared a teaser on their website (link to steemit included):</h2>
<p><img src="https://scontent-mad1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18447381_1469562443126302_5954732804353825848_n.jpg?oh=00863b434a0fa5b9e590bd83e04f4806&oe=59BFE2CE" width="615" height="589"/></p>
<h2>Tagged @gopro in the link to my camera review and @GSlartOfCapturing published an own tweed about it:</h2>
<p><img src="https://scontent-mad1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/18451460_1469620509787162_1827944397619598888_o.jpg?oh=2dd676fc657ac8a942600ea0eebc6a5c&oe=59B7A338" width="629" height="1052"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<h2>Then @goproheroplanet (8K followers) liked that:</h2>
<p><img src="https://scontent-mad1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18519542_1469623626453517_6754034280531806535_n.jpg?oh=9fd160ae58463294e727503b3808f213&oe=59B80C36" width="510" height="415"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<h3>These are neither groundbreaking achievements nor measurable impacts on the visibility of my blog.</h3>
<p>However, they are little steps towards the greater goal of more attention.</p>
<p><strong>Ah, and the fact that "O'Neill Women" (which is one of my very favorite surf brands) liked my tweed was very good for my ego, haha! </strong></p>
<p>What I will do starting from now is to...</p>
<ol>
<li>...keep communicating in the same line to build "identity".</li>
<li>...produce content that enables me to smartly include some other established brands or products ("place" them into my videos for example).</li>
<li>....talk constantly about topics that match with my blog's image and theirs as well. </li>
</ol>
<h2>There are still a lot of cool brands I want to reach out. "Carver" is one that didn't react on my corresponding tweed (tag) for instance: </h2>
<p><img src="https://scontent-mad1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18520005_1469685589780654_6270642283838305128_n.jpg?oh=ea0a59c39b58f9af792233406a5d091f&oe=597DED58" width="628" height="745"/></p>
<h2><strong>Nice side effect: Besides the promotion for your content, these publications generate traffic from the outside to steemit which strenghthens the platform in general and contributes to its growth in the long term.</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Content is King, but promotion is Queen!</strong></p>
<p>It would be nice to know how you promote your blog outside of steemit's borders, if you are interested in further monetization opportunities (in addition to the rewards you earn on steemit) or if you don't care about these aspects at all.</p>
<h3>Thanks for your attention :)</h3>
