As we all know by now,to be successful when writing content for your blog, it is also important to add the eye candy so that people will stay longer on your post or page.

This includes images, videos, graphs or what have you.
As with anything, there are rules to this as in reading the license that come with downloading or uploading an image to your blog.

It can’t be stressed enough that you could be breaking the law if you don’t take the time to know these licensing rules.

A short primer on the different wording you may come across: (more…)

At Success BlogNet, we want to help and inform our readers of any issues that will help bring success.

Disclosure Policies are important to anyone who has a blog for the main reason that it allows the bloggers to self identify any affiliation, payment or other conflicts of interests that may influence the content of a blog.

There are a couple of ways that a responsible blogger can get a disclosure policy on their blog.

The first one is to create a write up on your own. Your disclosure policy should include some details as in a copyright statement, declaring a financial relationship ( for example if you are an affiliate), legal disclaimers and talk about any related content on a 3rd party website.

If you are not into writing legalese, then your second option is to use a free service like Disclosure Policy.org. They have created a very simple way for people to protect themselves and make their blog transparent to the reader.

The Third way to create a Disclosure policy, when you host your own blog then we urge you to get a “Disclosure Policy Plugin™ for Wordpress™”
Take the time to read all about this plugin from the potential Usage to the license requirements.
If Your really can not wait to get through all the written material, then click on download and this will take you to the page of the “Disclosure Policy Plugin™ for Wordpress™” .

There is a fourth way and that is to do nothing. We at Success BlogNet urge you to not let this fourth choice become your first choice.

To Your Success,

A blogger who is with Success BlogNet has written a blog post that I quickly wanted to share.  Her blog is called  Like an Eagle -  Soar.   The title of her post  is Follow Your Dreams and it is well work looking at as well as the comment I made to her.

All to often we lose our dreams because of the mind set of others.  When it comes to working online whether it is affiliate marketing or blogging, you are going to find those who will be so supportive and giving but the reality is you will also find those who will try to crush you.  Keep your focus, your mindset and your balance.  Follow your dreams and reach for the stars.

To Your Success,

Being the smart person that he is, Walt from All Sports on the Web, wanted to know our opinion.

When we looked into this “advertising”, on the surface it sure looked good…it has a fairly good page rank the site looks professional and lets face it…this person took the time and trouble to look into Walt’s  Squidoo lens.  The numbers cited are indeed on target.

Considering that we want our bloggers to be successful, we decided to check further into this and digged deeper to see what others had to say good or bad and this is what we found: (more…)

Belonging to Social Communities is not just a good way to link and be known, but one can read interesting and informative articles.  Case in point I came across this article on Adland Pro.  This is considered one of the grandfathers of the Web 2.0 platforms.

I really want to BLOG, but don’t know where to Start!

This article is intended to assist any of you who are wanting to start a blog, but don’t know how to go about it.

Lesson #1

There is a distinctive and definitive method to starting your first blog..or ANY blog, particularly if you’re looking to monetize it in any way.

There are basically two ways to create a blog (simplistic perhaps..but this isn’t a university course..just an explanation). One is something that I’ve tried..but can’t get myself into much..and that’s automated sites, where the primary objective is to make an optimized site with automatic PLR articles serving as the content, and set and forget type of advertising etc..
That kind of thing works for some people, and they make these blogs on a daily basis..flooding the internet with them (and in my opinion degrading the entire industry of blogging)

The other kind of blog is just the opposite. Actually there are two types here. One is a Hobby Blog, and the other is an Authority Blog (typically a money blog) Both are something a person needs to tend and nurture over time..developing original content, attracting readers from within the niche, and in the case of a money blog, being more particular about the SEO aspects and how to monetize the blog without it seeming to be crass commercialism. Bloggers don’t tend to like this kind of commercial site.

With the hobby blog you just write about stuff because you love it. (in fact a great hobby blog can (and has) turned into a very good income generator, simply because you are giving people something they want. High quality content about something you all share an interest in. If it involves a LOT of people and you get a lot of traffic, then the advertising potential is definitely there..and you can expect people to take notice if you have a busy site. They will want access to your readers. (more…)

A Success Blognet Commentary

In times past, men and women in the military communicated with their families through letters ( when they got through).  Families worried over their husbands, wives, sons and daughters, never knowing when they would hear how their loved ones were.  The stress on the soldiers, whose lives were on the line, fighting whether from beliefs or duty must have been unbearable at times.
