Here is this week’s domain news video. I think we finally got it on our 50th take, lol. One quick mention, you will notice that the video is not on Domaining.com. Videos will no longer be featured on Domaining.com, thank you to Francois for the time and your sponsorship. Having said that, make sure to come back here every Friday afternoon.
Thank you to this week’s video sponsor WannaDevelop.com.

I have said it before, blogging is not easy!
What makes you different? What makes you better than the others?
Seriously, ask yourself these questions and be honest. I see too many blogs that are the same as everyone else.
Be different!
Let me give you some examples of why this blog is different.
Take these examples and apply them to your blog. You do not have to use all of them, just a couple to start off with. I’d suggest podcasting and personalization. Podcasting is a nice feature. Site visitors can download your blog post and listen to them when away from the computer. As for personalization, well let your readers know you are a real person and can relate to what most of them go through.
As the saying goes, “You have to spend money to make money.” It’s true to a certain extent when it comes to a blog. You do not have to spend thousands but should consider spending $200 on a lightly customized theme and logo. When you approach an advertiser they can tell you are serious.
If you don’t have money to start off with a custom theme, don’t worry because content is still key. Start by building a good foundation of readers. Visit this link for free traffic tips. Once you have that you can provide value to potential advertisers. Take the money from your first few ad sales and put it back into your blog. Do not be afraid to tell advertisers this either – they will appreciate the effort of bettering your blog for their benefit.
Now if your goal is just to blog and not make money from blogging, then a free theme will do just fine. But, as most bloggers do, they have a hidden agenda. So what’s the hidden agenda? Building a brand, a reputation and an email list. If this is true for you, read above tips again

Normally this video is showcased on Domaining.com but Francois is on vacation.
Check out the PODCAST version at the top. I’m telling you both the video and the podcast have some funny surprises. I would seriously watch and listen this week.
