| What makes for great Content? I've seen that question addressed by many members here at APSense and also all over the internet. It's a question I puzzle over all the time. Here's why: There are so many times I have visited blogs here at APSense that are well written, informative, and useful for online marketers only to see that someone has 'dropped' it... There is no explanation for such a rating as far as I can tell. Is that because I see a short blog to let us know about a business opportunity as a valid entry? Partly. But it also happens to those here who actually write articles or have blogs that they've put time and care into to make it worthwhile for everyone... Content should be of interest to your reader. So, that is who you write for. Are you writing for the majority or members on a Social Business Network or for the members you would like to join your affiliate program? Blogs are an excellent way to get your business information out to the general membership knowing that it's more likely that your target audience will see it. There is a risk in doing that here because someone might deem your blog/article as -1 or thumbs down. Content should be easy to read and few typos... I see APSense as a learning ground for all of us to get accustomed to writing about our interests, hobbies, online marketing etc. I know when I first started marketing online, I was nervous about what to write for ads, forums, blogs etc. I stayed away from the blogger typ sites because I just wasn't ready for it yet. That's what's so great about APSense and other SN's... you can publish what you want and get rewarded for it... there's an incentive...especially with the WOA.... like whoa... that's cool! Content should be just long enough for the reader wih only a moment to peruse it but long enough for getting your key points across. If you are able to create copy that is formatted correctly so that it isn't a strain on the eyes ... that is very important for reading online... Paragraphs should be separated by white space or a dbl space. It is best to keep sentences short but I'm terrible at that one! ... and don't be afraid to elaborate on a specific point that requires it. Content can be humorous Whether you have down home humor or are from Brooklyn NewYork... express that humor that is essentially you. Content can be intellectual That is definitely not my style but I do know a new friend who has joined here that is bringing an intellectual aspect to this community. Content can be Commercial? Blogging online is ideal for promoting your business opportunities. There is no better way to become known by your name or user ID... and that is to Blog and promote yourself! Everyone who starts to earn has learned that promotion ~ done in a way that suits who they are and who they are reaching out to ~ is the key to success for online marketing. It is arduous work to post classified ads, to write even the simplest of blogs about your business, to do all the tasks that we do as online marketers... No matter what you write here at APSense if I find the time to read it and post a comment, then I'm proud to give you a thumbs up for your effort and for what you have taken the time to do for my benefit... the possibility of finding that one opportunity that will suit me... that will bring in that extra income stream that we're all helping one another achieve. After all, not every opportunity works for just anyone... funny how that works! thanks for reading Beth APSense Blogs |

 Adding GOOD VALUE articles to social networkings bookmarks! That'a a real help for the author if you love his/her article! And it's easy to do. Until now I just topped others' articles and wrote comments, sending only sime of my articles to Digg and Del.icio.us but I would spend some more time on articles I like in order to send them there. Thanks Juri for reminding. Join My Best Associates! |

| Really enjoyed your article, Beth. I have been hesitant to blog, especially about the programs I have joined because my theory is, if I haven't made anything, how can I write about it? I don't like say "you'll make lots of money with this program" when I myself have not. So I have not really blog about business opportunities, though based upon your article, I think I can blog about other things of interest. Thanks for the inspiration! Jamen |

| Good job Beth! I do have one little.....question. I see everyone saying that you should write content that the reader will enjoy or wants to read. While that's true, what about writing a little about yourself and what YOU like even if not everyone else does? The reason I ask is because my logic is that people still want to know who you are and what you're like through your writing, otherwise the "personal connection" is lost especially in this age of the internet. NOTE: the word "you" is being used collectively below. Wouldn't this make you "real"? Think about it, who's going to call you on the phone just to get to know you and hear your voice after reading a blog or post? I don't mean this offensively, just posing a question on something I think about. Or am I getting the blog posting and writing of articles confused?
