Blogging and Niche Marketing
January 13, 2009 by jschuman
I want to talk about niche marketing and blogging to build your business.
One thing I have seen recently is an attempt by internet marketers to push the idea of starting a blog and quickly filling it up with plr content in a blog. The idea being that you could launch your blog with 10-15 articles and that should do it.
Then they say start another blog and repeat the process. Your goal is to get many blogs going and then add plr content on a consistent basis to keep it lively.
This is a bad idea if you are going into niche marketing and want to use your blog to do it with. For the most part plr content is a bad idea on a blog unless you alter it in several ways.
1. Change the primary keyword
2. Write a unique intro and closing paragraph
3. Add a YouTube video
4. Include a picture or graphic
5. Link to another site or blog.
At least when you do this you are attempting to make it original and the search engines will recognize this.
My point is if you start a niche marketing internet business and blogging is going to be your main form of marketing view it long term and plan on writing or hiring someone to write original content most of the time.
Hi Jeff,
I have used a few PLR articles but had to alter them substantially because I was worried about their effectiveness. Your useful comments back this up and the tip for a YouTube video to break up the article is excellent, I hadn’t thought of that. Thank you for sharing
It would appear that the usefulness of PLR Articles in blogging as your main marketing strategy is severely restricted if one has to so substantially alter the article as to almost appear new. One would rather use the PLR articles as fodder for new ideas to write fresh articles.
