			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you noticed that I have been writing about Google AdSense?  Well, Google AdSense is a proven and tested advertising program where you can really make money online.  Google AdSense is the first advertising program that I joined.  But I have to warn you, it take times to earn money from Google AdSense if you are not writing often for your blog.</p>
<p>I will not say that it was a mistake on my part because I rarely wrote content for my blogs for the past few years.  I just did not regret anything.  I still write whenever I like to write and whatever I like to write.  I just do not write for my readers only, I also write for myself.  I just do not find it right when I will write content for my blogs for my readers only even if the readers will enjoy the articles.  I really find it necessary that I have to enjoy writing for myself as well as for my readers.  That way my readers and I will both enjoy and learn from what I wrote.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.problogit.com/home/wp-content/files/2009/05/2009-blog-for-yourself-and-your-readers.jpg" alt="2009-blog-for-yourself-and-your-readers" title="2009-blog-for-yourself-and-your-readers" width="480" height="360" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56" /></p>
<p><span id="more-55"></span></p>
<p>I have been repeating over and over again about content writing.  I am actually discovering now that the more I write, the more people read my blogs.  Even if I do not have a lot of commenters, I really do not mind.  I know that I have readers on my blog.  If they do not like to reveal their identity, I respect that as I also value privacy.</p>
<p>Do not be discouraged because no one is commenting on your blog.  Commenters will comment on your blog if you comment on their blogs.  It is a two way process and you have got to learn that.  In my case, it is just my nature that I do not comment too much just like most of my readers who remained anonymous over the years.  I have to tell you though that it is not because I do not like commenting, it is just that I actually have been very busy with web designing.</p>
<p>But now, that I am into problogging, I will eventually let those bloggers and probloggers know that I have been visiting their blogs and in one way or another have inspired me to venture into problogging.  I know what it takes to maintain several blogs and websites.  So I know that it is not going to be easy to venture into problogging.  And that is what you have to learn once and for all, that problogging is not easy.  If you are going to start problogging, you have to commit yourself to it. </p>
<p>So what does Google AdSense have to do with content writing and commenting?  Well, it is a fact that the more you write, the more people will visit your blog.  The more you write, the more you comment on other blogs, the more people will notice you.  If people have more articles to read, more articles can be searched, more articles can be found, and it could lead you to receiving an earning over time.</p>
<p>If you have more articles, the more advertisers will advertise on your blog, the more relevant ads your readers will see on your blog.  You can do that with any advertising program but I am especially mentioning Google AdSense as this is the most popular advertising program where you can really make money online.  I also have proven that you could in fact earn money from Google AdSense.</p>
<p>Let me deviate a little bit, if you are already blogging a long time ago, then you placed some ads on your blog, you will eventually lose some of your readers.  The truth is, readers and commenters come and go.  Some will stop reading your blog because of the ads, but to tell you, it is the way you write and the content of your blog that make your readers come back.  I do not think that you will lose your readers because of the ads.</p>
<p>The time you will lose your readers is when you stop writing for yourself and for your readers, that is when you start writing content for the advertisers and advertisements only.  If you lose your own interest and the interest of your readers, you will eventually lose your advertisers too.  Advertisers offer their services because you have readers and what you have written are relevant to their products.</p>
<p>Whatever it takes, once you are earning from your blogs because of the ads, do not lose your focus.  Always remember to write for yourself and for your readers.  Always remember your niche and your target readers.  Remember, you chose a certain topic for your blog because that is what you enjoy doing and that is where you are good at doing.  You should always <a href="http://www.problogit.com/content-writing/20090420/things-to-remember-when-writing-content-for-a-blog/">remember those things when you are writing content for your blog</a>.  For as long as you and your readers are learning something from what you wrote, you will definitely earn the loyalty of your readers.</p>
<p>I have seen a lot of blogs who deviated from what they have started.  There are those who were just writing for their readers only, up to the extent that not for their readers only anymore but for the advertisers only.  They forgot to write for themselves, and so they could not keep up with their writing as they are no longer enjoying it.  They just keep their blogs because that is where they earn.  The result is, they get burned out.  </p>
<p>Do not make that mistake.  Money is not everything.  Money can help you but it should not be the center of your blogging experience and problogging existence even if the reason that you are problogging is actually because of money.  Nevertheless, blog as long as you enjoy doing it.  If you are into problogging, blog not just for yourself only, blog not just for your readers only, but blog for both yourself and your readers.  The mere fact that I have been maintaining a lot of websites and blogs, I never get tired of them because I do it for myself and for my readers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a lot of things to consider when we are writing content for a blog.  Other than the title, the ethics and best practices in writing, I have identified two things to remember that are important when writing content for a blog.</p>
<h3>1.  Defining our niche and remembering our niche</h3>
<p>The question is, isn&#8217;t it that we already defined our niche before we even started problogging?  Yes, but it is always advisable to remember our niche when writing content, for focus.  When I am writing content for this blog, I always think about the topic of this blog.  I need to remember what my blog is all about so I will not write beyond my blog topics.</p>
<p><span id="more-34"></span></p>
<p>If you noticed, I am still at the introductory level, writing the basics of blogging and problogging especially for new bloggers and probloggers.  I find it really necessary to be writing about these topics to give the new bloggers and probloggers some tips and ideas on how to start a blog and how to setup a blog.</p>
<p>Despite writing about the basics of blogging and problogging, I keep remembering that this blog is about writing tips and ideas, reviews and opinions on problogging, on making money online.  But then, writing the basics of blogging is part of writing tips and ideas for new bloggers.</p>
<h3>2.  Defining our market and remembering our market</h3>
<p>This is simply saying that we need to remember who are our target readers.  My target market or my target readers for this blog are those who would like to start blogging especially problogging.  I would like to share my thoughts, my ideas, my opinions, and my experiences to others who would like to venture into problogging like me.</p>
<p>There are a lot of bloggers out there who have been blogging for quite some time already but do not know the potential of making money online by problogging.  There are those who are already into problogging but have not really explored other means of making money online other than what they are currently doing.  The experienced probloggers are also welcome, who knows, they will also learn something from new probloggers.</p>
<p><strong>What to do now?</strong></p>
<p>In your case, please define your niche and target readers again.  In what area are you good at?  What would you like to write about? Who are your target readers?  You have to remember that when you write something about a topic you know nothing at all, your readers will notice it unless if you have specified that you are in the process of learning too.  Focus on what you know and expound it.</p>
<p><strong>Is your topic broad or specific?</strong>  Example of a broad topic would be writing about cars or even sports cars.  The specific topic for this would be when you concentrate on a particular brand or a particular model.  Your target market of course are car lovers and even those who are scouting for a new car or a sports car to buy.  </p>
<p>Most people would like to write and read about the popular topics especially controversial topics.  What are the popular topics for blogging?</p>
<p>There are a lot of popular topics to write about like the entertainment and movie industry, the television programs and soap operas, the celebrities, the rich and famous, even politics and religion.  We always say that two of the topics we should not discuss are politics and religion as these topics are very sensitive.  But if you can handle it, go ahead, write about it if it is your forte.</p>
<p>Well then, I have written that there are so many things to consider when writing content for a blog.  But for us to start and be able to focus on our writing, we always need to remember these two things, our niche and our target readers.  <strong>The point of knowing your niche and target readers is, have you and your readers learned something from what you wrote?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I already registered a domain name.  I already have a web host to host my blog. I already have a topic that I intend to write about and share with others.  So, why did I wait for three months to start writing content for this blog?  Yes, I waited for three months before I started writing for this blog.  In my opinion, I think I wasted those three months.  If I did not wait for three months then I should already have a lot of contents on my blog.  I should have more than ninety (90) blog entries already and enough to show to several affiliate networks or advertising networks.</p>
<p>I should have earned some money already.  Maybe?  Yes, I think so, I could have earned already.  A cent is always a cent.  A cent everyday is thirty (30) cents in  thirty (30) days.  A cent everyday is thirty-one (31) cents in thirty-one (31) days.  Assuming that I am an affiliate of a certain pay per post advertising network.  I have an opportunity to write a post worth five (5) US dollars per post.  If I have written one (1) post a day for thirty (30) days, then I could have earned one hundred fifty (150) US dollars for a month already.</p>
<p><span id="more-31"></span></p>
<p>A lot of &#8220;I should have&#8221; and &#8220;I could have&#8221; but I cannot turn back the clock so I will just have to accept the fact that it happened.  I also do not want to justify what I did.  And I am not going to give you any reason why I waited that so long.  It could have been avoided.</p>
<p>In your case, do not wait too long like what I did.  Did you just read a few minutes ago about the ninety (90) blog entries?  Yes, I could have more than NINETY (90) blog entries already if I just started writing especially that I am trying to do my best here to update this blog everyday.</p>
<p>And so with you, it could happen to you too if you keep on saying that you will start tomorrow or next week or next month.  Until you noticed that a year has passed already and you have not even started anything yet.</p>
<p>If you think that you have nothing in your mind to write about, do not think about it.  Now I really tell you.  I am not suggesting anymore.  Sit down in front of your computer, open a notepad or a word document, and start typing.  Before you know it, you have written more than five hundred (500) words already.</p>
<p>You see, if you just think about it, nothing will happen.  But if you try to do something about it, really sit down and just write what you have in your mind, the thoughts will just flow.  Try it now.  I can vouch for it.  It is effective because that is just what I did here.  I was thinking that I have nothing to write today, and look what I have here, a blog entry with five hundred twenty-two (522) words.  I just sat down, opened a new TextEdit, and started writing my thoughts.</p>
<p>&#8220;Do not wait for tomorrow if you can do it today.&#8221;</p>
