Today is just a quick post but I believe its vital to your success, especially if you are a newer blogger who is just getting started.

I see a lot of people approaching companies to sell adverts on there sites as I showed you all how to do before on the how to get advertisers post I wrote.

I just want to make sure you all don’t approach these companies before its time to for your own blogs.

Remember, when I do it I have a big readership and lots of traffic / results proof to show them.

Things you may not have yet!

Here is a quick checklist of minimum requirements I believe you need for the technique I explained before to work.

• 350+ RSS Readers
• 500 Unique Page Views Daily
• Prominent Advert Slots In Place
• 5+ Comment Average Per Post

I am sure by now you all have noticed just how awesome Aweber truly is. Every time someone enters my site they are presented with a box to subscribe to my newsletter and get my free eBook in return.

Since I put this Aweber action up on my site I have noticed conversions go up. I used to go weeks at a time without getting even 1 new subscriber, with this hover pop up I get at least 5 or more per week. Now I know that number seems slow but remember I am only still reaching a small audience compared to guys like Darren and John Chow.

Still 5 a week for me is pretty big considering I was not getting any natural sign ups before, they were mainly all from contests I ran and stuff. If you take the average of 5 per week and you times it by 52 weeks in a year that’s a whopping 260 extra subscribers that I would not have gotten in the year to come!

I still run contests, giveaways and of course promote the blog every chance I get but getting people to signup can be tough. That is, Until I finally broke down and got Aweber! Seriously guys, if you run a blog there is no other way to go, its hands down the best option available on the net.

Go get Aweber right now!!

Don’t delay because you won’t regret it

Hey Guys,

Today I decided to go through all the posts I have made here on IBB and put any motivational speaking ones into this new category.

I should have created the section long ago but I did not feel the need with so little content that would go into it.

However, now, I regret that I didn’t because its a lot of work to go through them

This brings me to an interesting point for today’s discussion.

Organizing On Your Blog

What would you rather see, a messy blog with awesome content (that you can’t find due to lack of organization) or decent content that you can find with ease?

I would go with option 2 myself but that’s just me, so if your already writing kick butt content then your in luck! Today I want to encourage you to go re-organize your blog, re-categorize whatever is needed and don’t stop until you have a work of art in your hands!

When a visitor comes to any blog it should be easy for them to find what they are looking for, if you don’t provide that… Someone else will, unfortunate as that may sound its true but you can do your part by re-organizing things and also throwing up a search feature on your blog!

I also recommend having an All Posts page or Archive page that your visitors can see and search as well. I do this and get extra traffic to posts + comments I would have never gotten 1 year later down the road.

What about you, do you think organizing is important for blogging? Tell us in a comment below why you believe it is or isn’t important!
