A change to my blog, adding photography in London Ontario

I started this blog with the full intention of keeping it all about WordPress, building traffic to website and monetizing a site.  These are all things I have learned over the past many years.  I wanted to share the things I learned with others so that they could accomplish the same things I have accomplished online but with less time.

Building websites, getting traffic and monetizing websites online has been a hobby of mine and now I have to add to my list of hobbies; photography.  Recently I started taking the photography program at fanshawe college and have started a website to target people looking for a London Photographer.  I will spend the next year and 8 months learning and developing my photography skills and might as well share some of the photography tips I learn on this blog along the way.

Making Useful Resources Works

I have read up on many online marketers and most of them have similar stories.  They work very hard on online marketing for a long time, try a lot of different things and eventually something works, making them a success.  Sometimes they appear to be an instant success but the months or years of work before success is often over looked.

I love online marketing.

Create an Email List

Use a free email service like Mail Chimp to capture your visitors email addresses.  Then email them with updates and links to your blog.  Many of the most successful bloggers say they wish they started and email list earlier on their site.

Using mail chimp for email lists is a great way to start out building a list.

Why you should start a blog

For now I will throw out the idea of making a physical product like a lawnmower or stereo.  Sure someone could make money by producing those things but it sounds like a lot of work.  Why? This economy seems to be a knowledge economy.  In my city their are residences being built around the university and the college is expanding with new buildings.  There is typically news of factories closing down meanwhile at the other end of the city millions of dollars is being spent on education.  So of course if you want to be a dentist you would need a license, but what about if you want to start a business?  No one has to go to school for 5 years to start a business they can just do it.  Or lets say you are a plumber by trade, should a plumber limit there income to what they are paid hourly to complete a job.  If the plumber starts his own business it will take some time and lots of effort to build up a clientele and penetrate a market with many competitors.

There are lots of benefits to writing a blog.

Increase Blog Traffic : David Loney

Create Off Page Content

Use all types of media available.  Be more places, more of the time.  Create videos that will drive viewers to your website and post them to YouTube and other video sharing sites.  The same can be done for pod casts.  Sharing them on itunes will drive traffic to your website.

Create off page content. Excellent tips.

Making Useful Resources Works

I have been following Tom Ewer’s blog Leaving Work Behind for a few months.  I am very interested in his blog as he openly writes about his experiences making money online.

Some online marketing gurus talk about quick and easy ways to build a website, get traffic and make money.   From what I have read most of the super successful online marketers might be able to make easy money now but that is because they have invested years of time into online marketing.   It comes easy to them now because they have the skills and experience, and they have developed a following.

Tom proved it works. Now I am a believer.

The minute Jamie + Ian walked into the Graf Barn in Oxnard, California, they knew they found their perfect wedding location. From the one-of-a-kind antiques to the farm animals to the gorgeous barn for dinner it was an ideal spot for their wedding. Since the venue had an overall rustic feel, they played off that for their decor elements. Jamie hand crafted the wedding favors, banners, candle holders and frames amongst other details while Ian demonstrated his passion for home brewing by whipping up seven different hand crafted beer varieties! A laid back, fun and romantic evening with their closest friends. Congrats to Jamie + Ian and thanks to Katrina Louise for the photos!

Great Gatsby Rustic Wedding: Erin + Parker – Part 1 | Green Wedding Shoes Wedding Blog | Wedding Trends for Stylish + Creative Brides

Today’s wedding is so incredibly stunning! A gorgeous couple, perfect setting, handmade details, and all captured amazingly by the talented Hugh Forte. So much loveliness that I had to split it into two parts! Erin + Parker both live in New York, but choose to get married in California near where Erin grew up. As soon as they saw photos (and then were able to visit) the Parker Ranch in Trabuco Canyon in Orange County, CA they knew it was the perfect location for them. The canopy of oak trees + white lights, the serenade of chirping birds, the backdrop of California hills – they fell in love with it! Erin + Parker both have also always loved the roaring twenties; Parker grew up with a connection to the music and dances of the era, and Erin, the dresses and hairstyles, so this style definitely had to be a part of the day, most importantly in Erin’s gorgeous vintage dress.
