    Okay everybody,

    I sincerely thank everyone who participated in another thread of mine in the social networks board. Let me get down to it, you see when I found out about marketing on twitter I almost got the gist of it but I was curb-stopped with all the massive updates pertaining to that niche. I also took into consideration of the Pinterest part of the social media aspect.

    You see, I have a blog that was just rolled out a week ago. I cover topics in my blog such as:
    • How To Choose Processor For Video Editing
    • How to Increase Computer Ram Tips and Process
    • What Is A Good Gaming Router
    • What Kind Of Laptop Should I Buy For Gaming
    • When is the Best Time to Buy Electronics
    • Why You Should Consider Buying a Refurbished Desktop
    • How To Fix Monitor Flickering Problem
    • etc.
    Although as a marketer we want to make money, that's the problem, following money instead of passion.

    This is where it gets tricky. You have to know what your buyer's real pain is or better yet a solution and you have to know who your target market is. I know this won't come easy but it's better for me to find out how certain markets work in order to get where the buyer has a problem that needs a solution. My niche is well within the computer fields which I have most of my knowledge since I graduated from college. The best part is I wanted to learn more since I was so fascinated with both computers and technology and help people with said knowledge.

    No problem there, I emphasize more of churning up value over quantity. When I write or green-lit blog posts I make sure that the blog posts makes sense to people and not just for the search engines because by the end of the day all that matters is if people like the content and the value they get from my site or any site in general. No matter how many words I tend to write, if the blog post or article in general doesn't read correctly nor provides value to anybody who wants to read it, they will not stay on the site at all.

    Well I have no problem here, during the time I was into network marketing I was practically being consistent in collecting emails and getting traffic. However, that's the thing. What I found out is the former product I wanted to sell it didn't feel right and it didn't make any sense to sell because the product's assembly line was blatantly going back and forth in circles. I ask myself, why want to be associated with this product? Do I want to be known as someone who sells thin air? Because of this I said to myself, I want to market consistently which is true but I need to know a good reason as to why I am doing it. Furthermore I want to direct my customers to products that makes sense and are worth buying. For me its tangible things(not saying that intangible products work just as good) .

    I want to know what is the best route for me to start a new computer and technology blog to get traffic without wasting a lot of time on meaningless tactics (free or paid). And also what affiliate programs work best for a blog like this. I kinda getting the gist of what real marketing is but any suggestions are appreciated. I will not give up because of economical times nor the lack of jobs because at the end of the day, what you can do to help others benefit IS a career.
