Hey there guys!

It's the Chief Tribemaster here..

A few days back I got this question from a subscriber:

How do I monetize my blog, since it's for corpers? 

For those of us outside Nigeria...

The word Corper isn't a regular name for an animal, place or thing...

It's actually an abbreviated (sort of) reference to a participant

in the mandatory basic paramilitary training and national

youth service program here in Nigeria.

As always I asked for details and this was what I got:

1. The goal of the blog is to provide up to date news and stories about what's happening in the NYSC world.
2. What he actually wants to do is teach CV writing services and job interview skills, and offer CV writing services
3. The blog is about a month old
4. The blog currently doesn't have a lot of visitors

Next I did a quick search on line to see what he had in terms of

a profile...

The recommendation I'm going to make is based on the information

I currently have access to...

=============================

Dear

First...here's what you're doing right..

You have a very clear audience you want to attract: Corpers

That's great.

My question though is if what you really want to do is teach

CV writting and job interview skills....

And ultimately charge for CV writing services...

Why isn't that the total focus of the blog?

Instead what you've done is basically a news blog for corpers.

I'll be honest with you...

When it comes to blogging...

Newsblogs...

No matter how niched...

Are tough to monetize if you don't have a lot of money to

drive readership with...

And even with that...

The chance of failure is still pretty high today for everyday people.

I would suggest you narrow down an focus exactly on what you

want to do.

But let's zoom out a bit...

If you really are an expert on what you want to teach...

What I'm going to share in the rest of this email will change your

life within 6 months if you apply it...

If you're not an expert at what you want to teach...

It will make you miserable...

So before you apply this: GET REALLY GOOD.

That said...

Let's apply TribeCraft™ to you...

Step 1: The Clarity Filter

Position Your Blog As The Go To Destination For

Answers To A Specific Problem

Let's get really clear on who you want to attract to your

blog.

What kind of corper would be willing to pay for CV writing services?

Get clear on that.

And no...

It's not corpers in general...

It's a very specific type of corper...

How would they need to see you in other to trust you?

Get clear on that...

What do you want to be known for by them?

Get clear on that...

When it comes to the question of what you want to be known

for...

Think big picture...

Corpers ultimately become workers...

Some become employers....

At what point in their life journey do you want to stop being

relevant to them?

Get clear on that.

Step 2: The Consistency Protocol

Choose One Social Platform, Dominate Their

Attention

So I see that you have social media handles on

quite a number of platforms...

I'd recommend that you focus on the one that gives

you the most access to the Corper you want access

to...

Create one major valuable content piece each week for

your blog and make that the basis for showing up daily

on your social platform of choice...

Invite them to a closer relationship with you via email...

Don't call it your newsletter...

Call it a 12 Month Career Mentorship Program

Don't obsess about the number of people who read your

blog...

Obsess about the number of people who open and read and take

action on your emails.

Work on building that bond and you'll be set for life.

Step 3: The Connection Builder

Convert Attention Into Sales and Revenue

By this stage...

You have an audience that you're steadily building.

To create income...

You need to understand that there are 8 primary

income streams available to you as an expert...

1. Speaking
2. Authoring
3. Training
4. Mentoring/Consulting
5. Facilitating
6. Coaching
7. Done for you Services
8. Branded product manufacturing

These eight income streams can be broken down into

64 additional income steams...

To monetize the attention you have...

You need a product based on one or a combination of

the possibilities above....

And you need a conversion event.

I'd recommend having a live webinar each week where

you teach concepts and ideas related to your subject

matter...

And...

Sell your services or product at the end of the webinar...

Another way to monetize is to build a list of 5000 email

subscribers

Once you have that...

Simply put together a rate card...

In other words...

Decide what you'll charge for people promoting to

your audience...

You could have different rates for..

1. Banners
2. Emails
3. Shout outs

Personally my go to route for monetization has always

been products.

I hope that helps.
