As a blogger with 2 years of experience in many niche blog topics such as technology, home, and others, the one thing I can tell you is that you need to be passionate about blogging.

What is passion?

Well, when I get up in the morning, I can’t wait to do 50 blog posts on my various different blogs. There’s so much information and I want to tell the world about that through my blogs.

Do you have passion?

You need passion to make money blogging. If you don’t have it, it will show up on your writing and your readers will feel it too.

If you don’t have passion, the desire that blogging is one of the most fun things you can do to make money, you should go get a job and stop wasting time.

However, if you are passionate about making money, do 24+ blog posts per day. That IS a guaranteed stable way to build web traffic.

Go look at the top 100 blogs in the world, there’s not a single blog that does less than 24 blog posts per day. Some blogs even do like 30+!

I am sorry, but the truth and the secret is out there, you just need to blog, blog, blog, and blog about it.

If you are not willing or too lazy, forget blogging, you might as well work for some corporation who’s going to slave you away for rest of your life.

Yes, life is tough, blogging is tough. Stop wasting time, you should be able to write 2-3 blog posts in the time you’ve read this blog post.

Get serious now, take action, that’s all I can tell you.

This post will show you how you can turn bad publicity into your Buzz marketing for your blog or website.

Recently, QuarterWiki, one of our new sites in the Zedomax Network, was reviewed on John Chow dot com. Within minutes of the post, we encountered many negative comments such as these:

• I’ve had enough of these wikis.

• Insane! Why would you pay for a single page when you could write a Squidoo.com lens for free, host a free blog all to yourself at WhyDoWork.com, and put up an entire site with free hosting at any number of free hosts?
  The first paid wiki worked because it was new and had a lot of hype. Take a look at the Alexa graph for milliondollarwiki now. Where do you think it will be a year from now?

In response, we simply left neutral and honest comments about our website and the company’s goals. As hours past, we got more negative and positive feedback from John Chow readers. We kept leaving as much comments as possible to politely respond to our nay-sayer’s incorrect judgements. In all, we got 138 comments for that post and still growing.

How did this help us?

First, we were able to tell the readers in detail about what we “actually” offered. Here’s one response we made:

Hi Steven, Paid Wiki can get you on the first page of Google for “Some Keyword Wiki”. The reason behind is that Wikipedia has no real competition other than us paid wikis.

For an example, a lot of people will type “wiki” after they type something they want to find on Wikipedia.

Type, “Digital Camera wiki” on Google, and you will see Digital Camera page of OneBuckWiki show up 3rd right after Wikipedia’s results. That pages is probably worth hundreds of dollars already to say the least.

This traffic can be monetized easily through advertising on your page. You see, it’s an untapped market noone has really exploited yet.

I hope that clears things a bit.

With this response, other new readers who just started seeing the review were informed of additional features that the QuarterWiki provided that was not mentioned in the article. We used a lot of these similar tatics to turn a negative comment into a informative questions and answers. The important part is not to get mad and stay professional with your comments as much as possible. (although sometimes you have to put the hammer down with some vicious readers, show them who’s the boss!)

Try to answer questions with questions. (You can also do this when you get pulled-over.)

The point here is that we used negative comments to actually boost the interest from the readers. This type of buzz creation can be compared to an ancient Chinese Martial Art, Shen Lung Kung Fu, where you are taught to use opponent’s energy to fight back, not your own. In other words, you re-use their negative powers to counter-attack.  You can learn more about it here on Wikipedia. (I think it’s the Snake style…)

The result:

We had sales record for both of our sites, the One Buck Wiki and the QuarterWiki.

Our review had more comments than any other recent posts on John Chow dot com, further increasing new readers’ interest in our review.
