10 Top Alternative Search Engines To Google That Support Good Causes

manuela / November 12, 2021

We have the world’s information at our fingertips through internet search engines and some people are utilizing this feature by raising social consciousness. Social consciousness spreads awareness about what is happening in our society and world. Many businesses, organizations and people now speak up about what they believe in and fight for on social media platforms and other internet channels. Hence why I discuss the top 10 alternative search engines to Google that are the best alternative search engines to use, if you’re fed up with the tracking and data privacy issues on Google. Why use alternative search engines than Google? An example of such philanthropy I came across recently when the founders of search engine SearchScene.com contacted me and we conducted an interview for the London local news website the londonbusinessnews.com. I realized that more search engines donate a part of their revenue for charity work related to different causes such as environmental initiatives for climate change or pollution, which in turn prompted me to create more awareness of this phenomenon. As a copywriter with an SEO background, I am fascinated to learn about emerging search engine alternatives. I have therefore researched the latest search engines that don’t just offer their users a great search experience, but also contribute something to our planet. The revenue of these sites mostly depends on advertising and the number of clicks that have been made throughout a search. What to consider when using different search engines than Google? From an SEO point of view, you should be aware that some of these search engines will not provide data in the same way Google does. Some only store selected data sets from searches for improved user privacy such as the total number of searches from each country and each device. Because many are committed to environmental causes, they try to minimize the amount of data they collect to reduce their carbon footprint. You will also be less likely to find their data being used in SEO analytics tools. This indicates that SEO will be impacted by users compiling their searches with different search engines and that SEO tracker tools need to ensure they still provide adequate SEO data that is reflective of most internet searchers. Any SEO expert should take such factors into consideration when they conduct SEO audits and research for websites. I therefore recommend you test them all yourself to understand them better and perhaps find a more sustainable alternative to Google, if that is something you care about, but who wouldn’t considering the current climate emergency. 1. GoodSearch Search Engine The innovative concept behind GoodSearch to be found via https://www.goodshop.com/ is a mix of Groupon that helps in the greater good. It is an online search engine that allows users to browse discounts on everything, from body lotions to sunglasses. The search engine provides a collection of retailers to choose from when you want to shop but still want to save some cash. The search engine includes retailers like Abercrombie and Fitch, Barnes and Noble, Dell, and buybuy Baby. GoodSearch donates 50% of its revenue for philanthropy. They have more than 110,000 retail partners. This search engine not only gives people the joy of shopping but also the satisfaction that their money will be used for a good cause. 2. Ecosia Search Engine This Germany-based search engine plants trees. It works as an extension of Google Chrome, and thus it can be installed very easily. You need not adapt to any different way to search on this engine, and you can easily get used to working on it instead of chrome as its interface is very similar. Their mission is to plant more than a billion trees all over the world, and they do so by raising funds through advertising revenues. Ecosia comes with paid advertisement links, and when you click on one, they receive the payment. The search engine makes it easy to plant trees in places like Madagascar where native vegetation and land have suffered an extreme level of deforestation in the past years due to the trade of palm oil. This site is used by around 16 million people monthly. Ecosia also maintains transparency by making its financial reports public, which ensures that the money is being used as promised. 3. Search Scene Search Engine This Charitable Search Engine donates 95% of its profits from ads to humanitarian and environmental charities that fight the causes and effects of climate change and users can choose which of their nominated charities they would like to support. A special feature is that every time you refresh your search you get to see stunning scenery, hence the name “SearchScene”. When users conduct a search, they get the baseline search results from Microsoft Bing and their own knowledge panels, instant answers, and widgets. Search Scene is a charitable search engine that provides actual, traceable receipts for all its donations and their knowledge panels are often split into tabs that break down a search into different subtopics for a better organized search. 4. Ekoru Search Engine This search engine donates its revenue to partner organizations involved in ocean cleanups. The technology that they use is powered by hydroelectricity, and hence, every search made by an individual will be eco-friendly. The company donates 60% of revenue generated from clicks on sponsored search results. Every search initiated by a user will help the organization clean the oceans. Each month, Ekoru raises money for a new environmental or social cause that is highlighted for the users. Using this search engine is simple, you do not have to learn anything new to use it. You just surf the internet in the same way as with Google, but you will be able to contribute to saving marine life and the environment. 5. Elliot For Water Search Engine Elliot For Water is the very first search engine that encourages users to help people who require clean water. The advertisement revenue collected by the search engine is used for such

manuela / September 1, 2021

Increasingly more people search online for information about how to register a domain name UK and create a UK WordPress blog site. But before you go ahead and register a domain name in the UK, you should consider certain important factors that can affect the success of your domain and website. According to Wikipedia the .uk domain extension also known as the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the United Kingdom was among the first to be registered in 1985, just a few months after the original generic top-level domain .com and the first country code after .us. This makes the .uk domain one of the oldest and most popular domains worldwide with millions of registrations. Such ccTLDs are popular among Brits as they will immediately brand your website and business as 100% British. And even for international visitors to your .uk website it will be reassuring to know where your business is based.

manuela / August 26, 2021

Are you looking for creative ideas how to make money online in the UK doing work that you enjoy without having to invest much? In this article I will be revealing the most in-demand money making ways for creatives in Great Britain to inject some extra cash into your bank account. Because as a copywriter I know that creative content creation is booming on the web. No matter whether you’re in full-time or part-time employment, a student, or a pensioner, with these flexible work from home ideas that are a legit inspiration worth testing. If you are a stay-at-home mum or dad or a student looking for a side hustle, then you may also find the online money-making methods useful. You’ll be pleased to know that these work at home jobs can be quite lucrative too and easy to discover via online job search engines. They may not make much money to start with, but with time you can generate a decent income from them that can pay some bills. No need for expensive equipment, all you need to get started is a laptop and good internet connection and you’re off to start earning online. It takes minimal funds to start making money online and the return can be huge. 1. eBooks Publishing Are you a book worm? Or do you simply just enjoy creating something that people can read, colour in, or use to tickle their brains? Then designing, authoring, and publishing eBooks is a great way to make some extra money. You could create a guide about any topic such as nutrition, beauty, or business as anything goes. With at least 100,000 self-published books on Kindle alone and numbers constantly rising, this is becoming a lucrative option for many. Self-publishing is not difficult these days and once you get the hang of it, you can also offer it as a service to earn extra cash. Choose a type of book first of all to understand the format of the book. A novel is completely different from a travel guide. The book topic then follows, and you should do a bit of research beforehand about what people are interested in or want to know about your topic. 💰 It is difficult to say how much money you can make with eBook publications as this can greatly vary, but some Amazon Kindle authors make thousands to millions with their eBooks that they produce, publish and market. You can learn more about eBook publication and marketing here. 2. Graphic Designing Graphic designers are high in demand by businesses, organisations and even private people looking for business cards, logos, brochures, or websites, blogs, social media posts and the likes to be designed professionally. As a graphic designer you can also support book publishers, with book illustrations and designs or marketers and agencies with designing marketing materials. You can easily get your first gigs from online job platforms like Upwork or PeoplePerHour. You should begin to build a website or WordPress Blog so that prospective clients can gather as much about your experience and skills as possible online. To market yourself more effectively your own website can help you approach prospective clients via email or social media marketing. A website certainly offers many benefits to showcase your work by displaying case studies, client reviews and much more. After you’ve set up your own website, you can also run Google Ads or Facebook Ads to target certain groups more effectively. 💰 Graphic designers hired in the UK get paid per hour or based on the project at hand. Usually, their hourly rates range from £11-£25*. 3. Scriptwriting Are you a Hollywood fan writing your own movie scripts? Or do you stream Netflix all day? The media and TV industries are always on the lookout for creative scriptwriters with fresh and trending TV show formats or film narratives. Even music videos or YouTube channel productions require written scripts these days so, if you have a passion for drama, literature, and storytelling, you can start to promote your services online. However, this is a tough business to get your foot into the door and networking is key. Build your online presence with a simple online portfolio and share your case studies via social media to gain more attention. As a scriptwriter, you must be prepared to give up the copyrights to all scripts you’ve been paid for; you can’t use the same content for different clients. If you’re new to this industry you can take free screenwriting courses to get started without any investment. 💰 Financially you might struggle in the beginning only earning £18,000* a year, but once you’ve made it you can take home up to £80,000* p.a. or more in the UK. 4. Videographing If you’re into filming short clips, screen recording your online activities or creating promotional or tutorial videos you can get into videography or video editing for companies and freelancers. Most clients will want to see past experience with video production or editing, so you could begin by filming smaller events or videos to build up your portfolio and hone your skills, which include computer literacy, animation, creativity & imagination, use of different cameras and familiarity with graphic and editing software. The video editing can be done in the comfort of your home, but you will need good equipment, which you can rent to start with to keep your cost according to your budget. Use a high-quality video camera and microphone and lighting equipment. As a video editor you can make use of freelance websites to get gigs and promote your own website. 💰 You can earn anything from $38,520 (£18,000) a year to $115,960 (£36,000+)* a year with videography work 5.

How a WordPress Blog Can Empower & Enrich a Woman’s Life?

manuela / July 17, 2021

Reading and writing has always been empowerment for me. I remember how, as a 5-year-old, I couldn’t wait to finally read the TV newspaper to be able to plan what I was watching and when. In primary school, we wrote poetry albums of friends and I started keeping a diary. When I look at these written testimonies many years later, I feel proud. Proud of the young woman I was then and proud of the woman I am today who still has some of these friends in her life. The diary and the albums documented this journey with images, colourings, photos, comments from friends, teachers and relatives and any other memories such as tickets to unforgettable events, for example. A blog can do this and much more in a flexible online format. A Blog – an Online Presence for Self-Presentation and Realization In the 21st century, the Internet allows us to use new media or implement old methods in new ways. In my opinion, a blog is a kind of online diary, but it offers much more than a traditional diary. A blog offers versatile design options such as written design through websites with text, articles with text, images with text visual design through images, graphics, any artistic illustration, video auditory design through videos, podcasts, music clips, musical accompaniment, etc. Links to other media, posts, channels, etc. Due to this incredible wealth of design options, it is essential to define the purpose and motivation behind a blog in advance. There are now millions of blogs and basically you can divide them all into 2 main categories: Niche blogs – A niche blog focuses on a specific topic. Usually, the blog articles and content are aimed at a specific target group, such as families, professionals in different professional groups, sports fans, etc. Blog topics can thus cover everything from the minimalist blog to the financial blog. Niche blogs are therefore also mostly represented in the business world and companies use blogs to inform and entertain about their products or services. Personal blogs – A personal blog focuses on a person and their topics. Bloggers can document their lives from different angles such as the information aspect or the entertainment aspect. Many bloggers share with their readers where and how they travel, what they eat and cook, what they do for a living or how they live out and realize their hobbies. A personal blog can be designed relatively freely, as long as no generally applicable laws are violated. In this article, I will focus mainly on a personal blog, but show ways in which it can also be used professionally as a CV or portfolio for example, with the main goal of presenting the potential of a blog. What can a WordPress Blog do for a Superwoman? In the digital age, most people search for information via the Internet, more precisely, through search engines such as Google or Bing. In 2020, 81% of global internet users have searched online for products or services, according to SmartInsights.com. Whether this is done with the smartphone, the tablet or the computer, it is the fastest, easiest and often cheapest way to get information and answers fast. If you want to reach people as a private or public person, a blog offers an ideal platform to make your voice heard, since a blog: is easy to create and manage (I explain this step by step in my article “How To Start A Blog” and at the SeekaHost University, which I co-manage and where you can find blogging online courses with short tutorials). can be created and used cost-effectively. offers endless design possibilities. is a relatively independent mouthpiece that can be built up and designed creatively and on your own. WordPress is the most popular CMS (content management system) among all blog platforms, as it is open-source and freely available to everyone, offering the greatest freedom of design. Compared to other blogging platforms like SquareSpace or Wix, which are used by about 1% of all bloggers, WordPress is used by about 35% of all bloggers worldwide in 2020, according to W3Techs.com. For my personal blog, manuelawillbold.com, I use WordPress, as well as for all the other blogs I manage like the UK Education Blog or the Green Living Blog. To show how differently I have built and designed these 3 blogs, I share the homepage of each one here: My personal blog manuelawillbold.com: My UK Education Blog: My Green Living Blog: I think one thing becomes clear here: A blog can convey at first glance what it is about through its presentation and content – the message is loud, powerful, and clear visually. And in my opinion, this is the great potential for every female blogger and their empowerment. Self-presentation of many Aspects of a Superwoman through Blogging Based on my three blog examples, it will hopefully be clear that a strong woman blogger is not only one-dimensional, and therefore should not present herself only one-sided online. With my blogs I present my passions: writing/blogging, education, and the environment. Through my personal blog under my own name, I present myself as a private and professional person, blogger and digital nomad. The blog offers me the opportunity: to present myself as a person and my personality through photos, videos and articles to present and convey my interests and skills creatively to share my knowledge, talents, tips and experiences and thus help others to position myself with regards to trending topics and current affairs that are relevant Through my UK Education Blog, I share my professional expertise and present myself as an education expert. The blog offers me the opportunity: to present and share my experience of many years in early childhood and school education to share my knowledge, expertise, emerging scientific facts, news and developments in education to share advice, insights and tips in education on relevant topics Through my Green Living blog, I share my private passion for environmental protection. Here I have the opportunity:

How to Create a Blog Post Google Will Send Many Readers to?

manuela / June 28, 2021

In today’s digital world, it has become challenging to write blog articles that make it to the top on search engines. Blogging consistently and writing an engaging post that not only ranks on search engines but attracts huge traffic is a hard nut to crack. According to research, blogs where posts are consistently going up, are 13% more likely to rank higher in the search results than the websites that update blogs once or twice a month. And you can find 100 prime examples of famous UK bloggers that have managed to reach the top with not just one but many articles. So, how can you become a Top Blogger ranking at the Top of Google? What are some exclusive blog writing techniques that can help you take your site to the top of the search engines? If you are searching for the answers, you have come to the right place! In this post, we’ll discuss the ways you can boost your organic traffic and search engine rankings by writing a compelling and exceptional blog. Read on. Optimize your Site for Search Engines This is no longer an era where you can write a blog post on any topic, insert keywords, upload images, and expect your content to get great exposure. If you want your blog to get ranked on the first page of search engines, you need to do some hard work. Today, people often employ two major strategies for blogging: On-page Site Optimization Off-page Optimization On-page SEO involves: keyword research with reliable SEO tools, meta-description containing rankable keywords, image ALT text containing keyword variations, headers & sub headers containing keyword variations, bullet points/clear paragraphs, and everything that makes your article unique and engaging and relevant for what your potential readers are looking for. Watch this recording of how the #1 SEO consultant Fernando Raymond and I published a comprehensive guide of nearly 2000 words on the WordPress blog university.seekahost.com, applying all the listed on-page SEO strategies and tips step by step: This is the most popular yet common way of allowing the search engine’s spiders to crawl your website and index it. Off-page SEO involves: blog promotion through backlinks, guest posting, Infographics submissions, blogger outreach and collaborations, link building strategies. citations and listings on directories or business lists. With billions of active blogs on the internet, it gets quite difficult for new bloggers to get their content on top of the search results. Therefore, they start blogging, sweet pitching, guest posting, and cross-promotion techniques to generate quality backlinks from other authority sites. You can learn more about content marketing techniques like business listings, guest posting opportunities and press release services I offer through SEO consultancy ClickDo in these articles: However, you cannot expect Google to rank your blog in the first ten search results unless you write a compelling and well-written blog post to start with. Content quality and comprehensiveness as well as relevancy are key indicators Google uses to rank websites according to their latest search quality evaluator updates and guidelines. Use the right SEO Writing Strategies Sure, people use paid advertising techniques to drive more traffic to their pages. But the problem is paid methods don’t encourage organic traffic generation through organic search results. Research suggests that roughly 70 to 80 percent of bloggers don’t use paid search services at all. They totally rely on the on-page SEO tactics to drive traffic to their website. Fortunately, these strategies work for them. You don’t need any paid ads if you manage to master the on-site SEO optimization. SEO content writing is the only possible way of generating organic traffic and genuine leads. The question is what on-page actually includes? Optimizing your blog for search engines using keywords, meta-data, and multimedia content (such as videos, images, infographics, charts, and etc.). Writing a detailed blog on the given topic. Answering as many questions of the audience as possible through your blog post, adding most searched for keywords. Providing your audience with an accurate solution to their problems. Keeping the engagement of your visitors by structuring your content effectively. That’s it! You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars to get organic traffic. Instead, a compelling blog post that solves customer’s problems is enough to get your website on the first page of the search results, if you can also get some good backlinks for it with related anchor texts. It is worth to note that SEO friendly web content focuses on visitors rather than search engines and I’d suggest you also test alternative search engines to Google for keywords for your blog post. Write a detailed and well-structured Blog Post A compelling blog post is something that everyone loves to read. You create a blog, select a theme, add content to it, upload media like images or videos, and carry out the necessary SEO strategies. But you still don’t get the search results you want? The reason can be a boring post that seems way too complicated to be understood. Through well-structured and compelling blogs, we don’t mean a post that is 100% grammatically correct or sounds professional (even though you should use a grammar and spell checker tool!). But it should be written in a way that your users find it interesting and informative as well as easy to follow. The structure is the first thing your readers look at via your table of content. It should be so engaging that visitors don’t think twice before checking out other blogs. For more tips on how to structure a WordPress blog post, check out this tutorial: Here’s how you can achieve a well-structured Blog Post Write an eye-catching title Write a title that makes users more curious to click on your blog’s URL and read the full article. It should be between 50 and 60 characters. Make sure that you don’t stuff keywords unnecessarily in the title. Use it wisely i.e., only if it fits naturally. Write an attractive introduction The intro should be short and tell

5 Best cPanel Alternatives for Bloggers to host WordPress Websites (including cPanel)

manuela / June 6, 2021

Are you lost in the world of web hosting control panels? I feel your pain! When I started out as a blogger and digital nomad, I had no clue about what a hosting control panel is and how it works or what it can/should do. So, I thought I will do you a favour and present a selection of the most highly rated domain hosting control panels for bloggers by bloggers that have emerged since the first ever control panel, cPanel, was launched in 1996 and changed web hosting for its users significantly with its interface and automation tools to manage website hosting more easily. I have used cPanel before and many web hosts, including SeekaHost where I host my websites, still offer web hosting with cPanel as it remains a market leader. However, many innovative control panels have been developed since 1996 and they offer features that cPanel doesn’t, which is why it is advisable to compare them first before choosing one. So, without much further ado, let’s get into the matter. What exactly is a Web Hosting Control Panel? A web hosting control panel is a web-based graphical user interface tool used by online providers to manage their website and hosting account and their hosting servers. Hosting control panels are one of the most effective methods to monitor all hosting services via a web browser or through a particular app based on availability. Every hosting company offers different hosting control panels to their clients along with web hosting plans and various other features. The user experience with a domain hosting control panel differs from one brand to another. Some control panel tasks include account administration, domain management, email management, server installation, FTP, database management, file management, and schedule back-ups, but each panel may only provide a selection of such features. Why you need a Web Hosting Control Panel & how it works? To host domains and create websites as well as connect your website with web servers you will need to use a hosting control panel, especially if you’re not into coding. Web hosting control panels are the platforms that provide you with an interface and tools to interact with your website’s server and they usually come with the hosting you purchase from your hosting provider. Domain hosting control panels make the website and server management much easier for people without much technological know-how and therefore everyone should use one. There are certain features that all control panels offer and some that are unique, and you should compare them first before choosing one. Each control panel should offer at least these 3 variations: Different interface Different design Different tasks management methods Most web hosting control panels will equip you with the following features which is why you need one: Manage your website and domain Create and use branded email addresses Access important website and hosting metrics Manage security features like SSL certificates Set up your database and blogging platform Install additional software and apps Differences in the layout and navigation can impact the user experience significantly and you should therefore test a control panel first or read reviews about it before purchasing it with your web hosting. Your choice of choosing the best control panel may be based on the operating system and the features offered by the hosting company. Typically, Linux-based plans and Windows hosting plans are the main OS types available. Bloggers will certainly require their chosen hosting control panel to offer the following features for the best blog hosting experience: One-Click CMS Installations supporting WordPress, Joomla! etc. DNS (domain name server) Management One-Click SSL Integration Email Hosting Because I only use WordPress for my blogs, I will list the top 5 web hosting control panels for WordPress Hosting along with their stand-out features that are a great alternative to cPanel and at the end you will also find cPanel so you can see the difference.

What is the Best Blogging Platform for Writers to Make Money? There are many blogging platforms available and each of them offers advantages and disadvantages. You can check out the #1 London SEO Consultant’s list of the best blogging platforms for beginners to get an idea or check out this infographic comparing the most popular ones (source: https://mention.com/en/blog/small-business-blogging/): As this comparison chart shows, WordPress offers the best features, and it is free to use as an open-source blogging platform. I would therefore recommend this trusted and very well-established content management system (CMS), especially if you are a writer looking for the most SEO friendly and affordable blogging platform website for the following reasons: It will save you money. It will generate more traffic through various plugins and features. It will save you time. It will perform better on the internet and on search engines. It will provide specific features to optimize your site for SEO. Setting up a self-hosted WordPress site using the CMS WordPress.org is a great starting point for beginners and experienced website owners. Starting a WordPress blog made me learn many new digital skills such as SEO and web content writing. It enabled me to begin with a side hustle while doing a full-time teaching job until I had set up several blogs and started generating money from them. Why is WordPress the Best Blogging Platform for Blog Monetization? This CMS provides independence, freedom, and all the needed tools to write and optimize web content easily for monetization. Compared to the other content publishing platforms like Wix, Weebly, or Squarespace it offers the best features and functions without having to pay the additional cost for a premium hosting plan for example. Because when you register a domain name with an independent web host like NameCheap, Hostinger, or SeekaHost, you only pay for the web hosting and the domain is yours. But if you get your domain with those blogging platforms you may have to pay additional fees for their premium services and functions and if you do not pay your access to your site may be removed or restricted. Comparing CMS Contently with prices ranging from $3,000 to $25,000 per month for very complex sites you can see the huge difference compared to using WordPress for free with a WordPress Hosting plan starting at £1.25 with SeekaHost, which includes the free use of the innovative WP Blog Hosting Control Panel. You can see how to use the WordPress blogging platform and the SeekaPanel in combination to achieve great results with this blog in this video: Apart from saving you money, WordPress also offers many great features to help you earn money. You can find WordPress plugins for literally anything to use on your website to generate an income. Examples are: WP Plugins for ad placements, banner ad integrations, or shop integrations – find examples here. WP Plugins for SEO and digital marketing – find examples here. WP Plugins for affiliate marketing – find examples here. WP Plugins for membership site functions – find examples here. You can also see some of my suggestions in this guide: Obviously, you will firstly require enough web traffic to make use of these plugins to start earning, which is where SEO comes into play. How does WordPress help with SEO for higher ranks and traffic? The WordPress.org self-hosted site code is picked up well by Google bots and Bing bots. The proof is many sites that rank higher up on SERPs built on WordPress like some of the ClickDo client case studies showing WP business blogs and websites reaching top positions on search engines, which are hosted with SeekaHost’s cheap web hosting. Effective WordPress SEO plugins like the all-in-one SEO pack are fantastic to make any web content more SEO-friendly, providing analysis regarding keywords, content length and structure, and much more. You can see how it works best in this tutorial: If you manage to reach a 100% SEO score your published content will surely rank for intended keywords if you also take care of your off-page SEO which you can learn more about in the SEO Training Course at the SeekaHost University. For the on-page SEO I will share some insights and strategies, which you can use and apply based on my example – needless to say: do not copy 1:1 as content needs to be relevant and related. How I achieved top ranks with targeted keywords for over 1000 visitors a month I published the “How to make money online in Germany” article in September 2020 and since then I have managed to rank it for about 90 keywords on Google, many of them in top positions, as you can see in the table here (snapshot April 2021 with the SEMRush analytics tool): As you can see here, my article appears in the #1 position on Google for a total of 7 search terms and for other search terms in the second, third, fourth, or seventh position, which is usually also found on the first page of Google results. Currently, my article ranks for 49 keywords in the top 20 positions on Google: And you can also see how the volume of traffic has increased. In the first table, you will see that my article ranks for 3 search terms,

Wie kann ich einen Blog erstellen & mit Blog schreiben Geld verdienen?

manuela / February 20, 2021

Es spielt keine Rolle, ob du als Hobby einen Blog startest, um deine Kreativität zu demonstrieren oder um ein Produkt oder eine Dienstleistung zu bewerben. Das tolle an einem Blog ist, dass dieser vielfach verwendbar ist und somit zu vielen Zwecken genutzt werden kann, wie ich in meinem Blogartikel “Wie ein WordPress Blog empowern kann” aufzeige. Laut Blogging Statistiken von Optinmonster gelten Blogs als fünft vertrauenswürdigste Online-Informationsquelle, und etwa 77% der Internetnutzer weltweit lesen Blogs. Die Botschaft ist klar: Ein nicht monetarisierter Blog ist eine wertvolle, ungenutzte finanzielle Ressource. Kann man mit einem WordPress Blog Geld verdienen? Es ist möglich, wenn man als Blogger konsequent qualitativ hochwertige Inhalte veröffentlicht. Statistiken haben ergeben, dass 68% der Blogger, die jeden Tag schreiben und Artikel veröffentlichen, bessere Ergebnisse erzielen was den Erfolg ihres Blogs angeht. Wie viel Geld kann man mit WordPress Bloggen verdienen? Branchenuntersuchungen haben ergeben, dass Amateur-Blogger durchschnittlich $9.497 (das sind 7.837 Euro) pro Jahr verdienen. Die Einnahmen von seriösen und professionellen Bloggern werden auf etwa $138.064 (113.093 Euro) pro Jahr geschätzt. Nicht schlecht, oder? Fasziniert von den Aussichten, einen WordPress Blog zu monetarisieren? Ich habe hier alle Informationen, wie du einen Blog auf WordPress starten und Geld verdienen kannst. Lese weiter! Einen WordPress Blog erstellen – Erklärt Du kannst diesen Abschnitt überspringen, wenn du bereits einen WordPress Blog erstellt und gestartet hast. Das Erstellen eines WordPress Blogs ist relativ einfach, wenn man sich in die Materie einliest. Als ich meinen ersten Blog mit WordPress erstellt habe, musste ich einige online Tutorien durchgehen, um die Anwendung zu verstehen. Aber wenn man das Konzept verinnerlicht hat, erklärt sich vieles automatisch. Mein UK Education Blog (ein Blog geschrieben auf Englisch), den ich nun bereits seit fast 3 Jahren betreibe, ist seitdem ordentlich gewachsen mit aktuell (zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung dieses Artikels) 76 Artikeln und fast 1000 Besuchern monatlich. In den 3 Jahren habe ich nicht nur die Blogartikel regelmäßig veröffentlicht, sondern noch viel mehr geleistet, um den Blog erfolgreich zu machen. Über diese Maßnahmen erfährst du hier mehr, aber ich möchte auch betonen, dass ich dies nebenher gemacht habe, während ich als Frühpädagogin in vollem Umfang tätig war. Hier sind die einzelnen Schritte, die du ausführen musst, um einen WordPress Blog zu starten erklärt mit dem SeekaPanel und WordPress: Suche und finde einen Domainnamen für deinen Blog – sollte zum Thema passen, evtl. relevante Keywörter enthalten, je nach Land mit .de/.co.uk/.com enden und nicht zu viele Bindestriche enthalten. Finde hier mehr Tipps zu Domainnamen und schau dir hier mein Tutorial an für meinen deutschen Blog “Blogger Tipps und Tricks“. Eröffne ein Webhosting-Konto & hoste und verwalte deine Domain und installiere WordPress (ich benutze das günstige SeekaHost WordPress Blog Hosting Control Panel, mit dem du deinen Blog in 60 Sekunden live schalten kannst über das SeekaPanel) – genau erklärt in diesem Video: Individualisiere WordPress – erste wichtige Schritte mit WordPress, um deinen Blog richtig einzustellen und zu individualiseren, die ich in meinem Video demonstriere: Kreiere deinen idealen Blog mit WordPress: Logge dich in dein WordPress-Konto ein und beginne mit der Erstellung deines Blogs – mit dem SeekaPanel ist das nicht notwendig, denn du kannst sofort loslegen in deinem blog hosting control panel, wie ich im folgenden Video zeige: Füge deinem Blog Optimierungsfunktionen zu mit WP Plugins: Fülle deinen Blog mit Inhalten (eine Seite und einen Artikel zu erstellen ist ähnlich in WordPress, aber auf dem SeekaHost YouTube Kanal findest du auch ein separates Video für die Erstellung eines Blogartikels): Falls es dir immer noch schwer fällt, deinen WordPress Blog zu erstellen, so wie du es dir vorstellst, melde dich bei der SeekaHost University an, um den Blogging Kurs zu belegen, der dir die Erstellung eines WordPress Blogs von vorne bis hinten Schritt für Schritt erklärt oder schau nach mehr Tutorien auf dem SeekaHost YouTube Kanal. Es gibt keine festen Parameter, um zu beurteilen, wie alt oder beliebt ein Blog sein muss, bevor es monetarisiert werden kann. Es gibt jedoch zwei wichtige Faktoren, die zu berücksichtigen sind. Idealerweise 1. Der Blog sollte einen konstanten Internetverkehr aufweisen Um mit der Monetarisierung loslegen zu können, sollten mindestens einige tausend monatliche Besucher auf deinen Blog kommen. Wenn der Datenverkehr gering ist, solltest du dich darauf konzentrieren, diesen zu erhöhen. Dafür sind SEO und digitale Marketing Kenntnisse wichtig, da man als Blogger verstehen muss, wie man seine Webseite auf Suchmaschinen höher platzieren kann in den Suchergebnissen. Die SeekaHost University bietet auch hierfür Kurse an und ich biete einen SEO Copywriting Kurs an und ich zeige in diesem Video, wie ich den Internetverkehr auf meinem Blog überwache und analysiere: 2. Eine umfangreiche E-Mail-Liste sollte erstellt werden Du benötigst keine Liste mit Tausenden von E-Mail-Adressen. Ich empfehle jedoch, deine Blog E-Mail-Liste auf mindestens ein paar Hundert zu erweitern, damit du deinen Blog optimal nutzen kannst für die Vermarktung deiner Inhalte. Dies kann erreicht werden durch sogenannte Popups, die Blog Besucher dazu einladen, deinen Newsletter regelmäßig zu erhalten, indem sie ihre E-Mail-Adresse an dich schicken. Oder durch ein Kontaktformular auf deinem Blog, durch das dich Blogbesucher kontaktieren können (stelle sicher, dass alle deine Emails an deine Blogleser eine Abmeldeoption beinhalten, falls sie deine Emails nicht mehr erhalten wollen). Geld verdienen mit Blogs – wie geht das? Es gibt verschiedene Möglichkeiten, deinen WordPress Blog zu monetarisieren: durch Werbeanzeigen, Mitgliedschaften, Partnerangebote, Website-Produkte und Dienstleistungen. Die Möglichkeiten hängen von deinem Blogumfang und deiner Leserschaft ab. Hier werfe ich einen Blick auf die einfachsten, gängigsten und profitabelsten Monetarisierungsstrategien für Blogs. Werbeanzeigen strategisch platzieren Du kannst Werbeanzeigen auf deinem Blog anzeigen, indem du mit einem Werbenetzwerk zusammenarbeitest wie Google AdSense. Ein Werbenetzwerk ist ein Unternehmen, das Vermarkter, die ihre Anzeigen veröffentlichen möchten, mit passenden Host-Websites verbindet. Das Werbenetzwerk entscheidet anhand deiner Zahlungsmethode, welche Anzeigen auf deinem Blog geschaltet werden sollen, und bezahlt dich per klick auf deine Anzeigen (Pay Per Click – PPC). Basierend auf der PPC-Basis erhältst du 68% des Umsatzes mit jedem Klick. Google AdSense ist eines der weltweit beliebtesten kostenlosen Werbenetzwerke mit

How Digital Marketing Training Courses can Boost Video Game Careers

manuela / February 18, 2021

Many governments and employers around the world are trying to narrow the digital skills gap between digital natives and non-natives as many jobs require at least some basic computing and digital skills like email management, Microsoft knowledge etc. More people opt to become their own boss with around 4.8 million freelancers in the UK and 57 million freelancers in the US according to Upwork in 2019. It is therefore clear that the digital nomad lifestyle revolution has arrived and is here to stay for the foreseeable future. How do Online Marketing and Video Game Careers go together? Digital marketing has become hugely popular with younger generations as many more of them begin to grow their online presence and make a living through online revenue streams. The internet has provided an excellent platform for many in entertainment industries to grow and earn a living and one of them certainly is the gaming industry. Alone for the established game Minecraft there are 126 million active players worldwide today since its launch in 2011. Many serious Minecraft players share their gaming skills and tips via their YouTube channels, and some earn fortunes with video game job opportunities. You can read more about ways to earn online with gaming in the ClickDo Make Money Online Guide and the SeekaHost Make Money with a Minecraft Server Guide. As you can see in these guides, digital marketing is an essential part of earning online through gaming and the following online marketing strategies recommended by SeekaHost University will help you achieve the revenue you envision after you invest time and effort and build your brand and presence online. 1. Attract Your Audience Internet marketing is a key element in presenting and establishing yourself within the gaming industry. Many professional gamers use social media channels like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and of course YouTube by running paid ads and sharing regular posts to engage with their audience. They may ask them questions, find out which content they like the most and what they’re looking for. This way the gamers make a personal connection with their audience and build a recognisable brand. Facebook groups are perfect for direct personal communication with the followers. Instagram stories are also a great tool to attract more followers. But as a gamer YouTube is the ultimate platform to reach the masses while they search for related content on search engines. Building a successful YouTube channel with thousands to millions of subscribers can change every gamer’s life by earning through paid ad placements, sponsorships, affiliate marketing and much more. YouTubers are the new superstars in the digital era. 2. Use automated Email Subscription Communication Having people sign up to an email newsletter subscription on your website, blog or social media is a great way to keep your audience engaged. Sending out a monthly or weekly newsletter is a great way to keep your followers involved in your journey and allows for effective communication. This is a great way to offer sneak-peeks, exclusives, or information about new releases, mentions in the press etc. Email marketing has become an important tool for any influencer and email marketing tools can be a great help in tracking and automating emails for followers and subscribers. You should design your emails nicely with images and videos suitable for the interests of your audience and they can be segmented based on the different groups of email subscribers, e.g., different age or interest groups to achieve the maximum outcome with your email campaigns. Learn more about email marketing essentials here. 3. Personalise your Social Media Social media are a great tool in the digital marketing world because followers will appreciate some behind the scenes content, bonus footage and outtakes provided by gamers. People look for entertainment on social media so these additional snippets of content can appease your loyal audience and attract new followers. The key is to let your gaming personality shine through which may not be the case when live-streaming or collaborating with others on your YouTube channel. Having multiple social media platforms can boost your online presence as well as help you engage with audiences from different platforms. 4. Connect with Gaming Journalists & Bloggers Creating a website using popular CMS systems like WordPress is your first step to building your online presence, apart from setting up your YouTube Channel. The difference is that buying your own domain and hosting it on a reliable hosting control panel gives you more ownership as using other platforms for your online presence makes you dependent on their rules and formats. Learning SEO can be time consuming, but to make your website climb in search rankings and to organically increase the visibility of your site it is necessary. A great way to make your name and brand known is by working with trusted professionals or gaming journalists such. Popular websites related to videogames may well accept guest-written quality content. Should a blog or news website agree to publish your guest post, not only will you have acquired a backlink for your website, but you’ll be getting your name out there. 5. Create Unique Content When it comes to setting yourself apart from all the other videogame influencers, you need to utilize your own perspective and personality in your content. Make yourself interesting to your audience. It’s important not to copy other gamers’ content and to be unique. You can record your gaming experiences with entertaining commentary or by giving useful gaming tips also on your website. You can upload your recordings to video-sharing sites such as YouTube or go through your content live on streaming sites like Twitch or Discord. If you have the creativity and drive, you can create entire playlists demonstrating your knowledge of your favourite online games. Many viewers are also interested in e-sports and competitions so if you were participating in such, you could share that with your audience. Get off to the right start as a Video Gamer with Digital Marketing Skills With the online courses available at SeekaHost University, you will
