When I Endorse Things On My Blog

When I Endorse Things On My Blog… Warning: This is not about career management, rather, its a little transparency on whether I make money by pimping stuff on this blog. I hope I dont bore you A couple of weeks ago one of my best friends from high school came for a visit. He is the guy responsible for coming up with the name JibberJobber, getting me into computer stuff (I was just studying Spanish at the time), one of the first lifetime premium JibberJobber purchasers, a reader of this blog and much more. We have a really cool, open relationship. So we were working in my office before going out to tour the city, he was doing e-mail stuff and I was doing my daily blog post. He asked a question that I know has been on the mind of many of my blog readers: When you write about things books, services, etc. Do you get paid for that? The answer is, not really. I do have some affiliate relationships, which Im going to put into an affiliate page, and some of my partners offer commissions if someone uses their services. But this hasnt been a big deal in the past, and I do not blog on someone/something just because I might get $15 out of it. In fact, I wont blog on something just because I might get $200 out of it. I write my blog posts with the fire and passion that I got last year, when I was laid off for a dumb reason, out on the street, with no respect, not finding a job, having no luck. Working very hard, but very frustrated. I will never forget how I felt. I will never forget the stress on my family. I will never forget how lonely and depressing it can be. One of my missions as a blogger is to share ideas, best practices and resources that can help people that are either in that situation, or might be in that situation soon. Im not blogging for bucks, Im blogging to share. I didnt quite realize this until eMom blogger Wendy Piersall gave a presentation about her real mission it hit me right between the eyes and it gave me goosebumps. And I understood that my message is bigger than my blog, bigger than me. Sounds kind of PollyAnna, right? Heres the rest of the story. I started blogging as a marketing complement and it has turned out to be one of the best marketing things Ive ever done. Yes, I do want people to know about JibberJobber, sign up for it, use it, promote it, etc. Thats no secret. I have blogged about a number of books that Ive read. I think it would be cool to make some money from promoting those books but I have not, even though I know many of you have bought some of them. I still think that every single person should read Never Eat Alone, Brag! and Career Distinction. I always promote those because they each helped me immensely but heres my dirty little secret I rarely buy books my local library is just too good and I read too many books to be able to afford them. I personally think the Amazon affiliate program is lame, since I would only get something like 4% kickback on the books that you buy from them. I kind of signed up with them but am not pursuing it, and if I link to a book I like its usually to the authors main page, or to their affiliate link. Yep, Im leaving some money on the table. I have signed up for a few other affiliate programs, and will eventually roll them out. I just want to do it right, I dont want to jeopardize the quality and feel of this blog, and it hasnt been the highest priority for me. I used to have GoogleAds on the blog and in JibberJobber. But I never really liked their terms. And apparently they didnt like me, I was kicked out of their system for something I had no control over. I will begin to look for sponsors for this blog and the website. But right now I have other fish to fry so Im not ready to spend time there yet. When I do get sponsors Im going to take the Penelope Trunk route and still keep my own flavor, AND not plaster the site with sponsorship ads. My blog and site are cluttered enough and no one needs another website with a ton of ads all over the place. I do get paid sometimes, when I include a small ad at the end of a post (like todays post). I can choose what I put there, and usually it has nothing to do with the post. I only do it if I dont think its a distraction. It has been sporadic and unconsequential, as far as money goes, and I havent even tallied up the totals. I think I do it more as an ego-trip so that I can think of myself as a paid blogger :p. I have partners who are in a special relationship with JibberJobber. I promote their services more than usual, but I have no problem promoting them because Ive met each of them, spent time on the phone, have continued relationships with them, and am indeed a believer of what they offer. However, there are non-partners that I have great relationships with and wont hesitate to promote them either. The bottom line is, I write to who I was a year ago and wont compromise on the quality of the message. I might take advantage of some monetizing opportunities but will never do it unless I can feel comfortable about the actual endorsement. In other words, if I dont believe in the thing, I wont endorse it. So here are two questions: What do you think about this? Do you believe it (or are you skeptical about my intentions)? Is it honorable, or should I consider a different tactic? If Im getting a kickback for a mention, do I need to mention that in the post? If you are a blogger, how is this different from what you do?

7 Habits of the Successfully Published, Part 4 Leverage - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

7 Habits of the Successfully Published, Part 4 Leverage - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Successful authors tend to be highly leveraged; this doesnt mean, however, that they are deep in debt. Rather, it means that they are committed to to recycling, reusing, and re-purposing their ideas. Successful avoid the temptation to continually reinvent the wheel. Instead, they create a body of knowledge, and use it for multiple marketing and profiting purposes. There are 7 key benefits successful authors enjoy when they leverage ideas into multiple projects: Constant improvement. Each time authors revisit a previous idea or topic, they refine their ability to communicate it more clearly, more completely, more   concisely, and with greater impact. (Practice does, make perfect!) Eeach time they re-approach an idea, they typically add new details, examples, or write from a slightly different perspective. New markets new formats create new prospects. Each iteration of a core idea exposes the authors ideas and their brand to new readers prospects. Readers who may not be interested in a $29.95 hard cover book may well be interested in a $19.95 shorter version, or a $11.95 e-book. Likewise, learning styles differ: some prospects like to learn by reading, others by listening, and still others by attending conferences or watching videos. Target marketing. One of the best ways authors can leverage their key ideas into new opportunities is to adapt ideas from general to specific markets.   Lets say an author is an expert on graphic design for efficient marketing. The first book uses case studies and examples from a variety of association, corporate, and small business sources. Follow-up books, e-books, workbooks, and audio/video products, however, could focus on specific markets like accountants, small medical practices, and technology start-ups or specific techniques (online, offline, networking, etc.) Familiarity = easier sales. Familiarity breeds comfort. Trust increases the more often a prospect encounters a helpful, relevant messageespecially if each message reinforces a key concept or core idea. Jay Conrad Levinsons stock goes up each time he comes out with a new Guerrilla Marketing book. The mere fact there are 35 books in the series provides credibility no single book could ever achieve. Efficiency. By building-out, or revisiting and expanding, core ideas also saves writing time, allowing authors to invest their time in activitiesperhaps like coaching or consultingwhich earn them the highest return. In addition, it is far easier to delegate an adaptation of an idea to a new niche, or a new format, than it is to delegate the creation of a new core idea or body of information. Synergy. Each time a core idea is reused, it refreshes and expands the authors brand, helping resell previous topics and driving new traffic to the authors website. Once at the website, readers can explore the authors back-end products and services. Marketing efficiency and constant visibility. Readers and clients have short memories. Your brand jumps to the front of the line immediately after a prospect receives your newsletter or tip sheet. However, like the heart monitor traces on television shows set in hospital ICUs, peak awareness quickly begins to disappear. Authors who leverage their content, however, can keep in weekly, if not daily, contact by efficiently harvesting individual ideaslike examples or tipsfrom previous projects. Examples of successfully leveraged nonfiction authors Jay Conrad Levinson. Jay Conrad Levinsons Guerrilla Marketing books have sold millions of copies during the past seveal decades. Each title focuses on a specific marketing challenge (i.e., Guerrilla Marketing in Tough Times), a specific market (i.e., Guerrilla Marketing for consultants), or format (i.e., Guerrilla Marketing Online). Little wonder its the worlds Number 1 marketing book series. Bud Bilanich. I recently traced how Bud Bilanich, The Common-Sense Guy, has leveraged his daily blog posts into several books and information products at different price points. Guy Kawasaki. When I interviewed Guy Kawasaki about the background of his Reality Check book, I was surprised to find it, too, had originated as a series of individual blog posts. More important, he   also revealed how his columns in Entrepreneur Magazine also originate as blog posts. C.J. Hayden. C.J. has leveraged her Get Clients Now! book into numerous streams of revenue, including a membership site, train the trainer certification programs, and additional products. How do you started leveraging your content? The starting point is to think small! Dont think of your book as a big idea as you plan and write it. Instead, view your book from the following perspective: 10 Chapters Each chapter contains 10 ideas A successful book is neither a miracle of inspiration nor is it a monument to author martyrdom. A successful book can be as simple as a single big idea, or premise, explained in 10 chapters, each containing 10 key ideas, or points. Putting your ideas to work Thinking of your book in terms of 10 chapters, each containing 10 ideas, or points, simplifies planning, writing, promoting, and profiting from your book. This perspective simplifies your book at each of the 4 key steps in becoming profitably published: Step 1: Planning your book. Thinking in terms of 10 chapters, each with 10 points, focuses your planning on specific tasks. Instead of thinking abstractly, you can focus on specific ideas that will help your readers. Step 2: Writing your book. Writing your book becomes much easiermore like a painting by numbers process, or a fill in the missing paragraphs task needed to explain each idea, rather than starting to write with a blank screen. Step 3: Promoting. Promoting your book becomes easier because each of the 100 points in your book provides the starting point for a blog post, newsletter, or podcast. The 100 points also provide the starting point for groupings of key ideas, for tip sheets or speeches. Step 4: Profiting from your book. Your books original 100 key points can be developed, and re-developed, over and over again for specific market segments and product formats. Having identified your 100 key points, for example, you could prepare a follow-up Case Book containing 100 detailed case studies. What are you waiting for? Have you identified your big idea, your 10 chapters, and your 10 main points   for each chapter? Whats holding you back? Author Roger C. Parker is a “32 Million Dollar Author,” book coach, and online writing resource. His 38 books have sold 1.9 million copies in 35 languages around the world. The NY Times called his Looking Good in Print “…the one to buy when you’re buying only one!” Roger has interviewed hundreds of successfully branded authors and shares what he’s learned at Published Profitable and in his daily writing   tips blog.
