Blogging is a great way to get connected (and stay connected) to your online audience and new & potential customers while generating additional marketing and income through pay-per-click ads.
What is a Blog?
Well, you are reading one of my blogs right now! A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world.
Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.
In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not.
It's easy to start a Blog.
You can set up a free blog account using one of the blog hosts below, after that all that is required is you taking the time to create a few quality posts a week that showcase your knowledge on a topic of choice. Once you are writing about something other's can benefit from or simply creating a space in which your customers can stay connected, you are on your way to developing a successful Blog. Then you can take take it a step further and start promoting your blogs RSS Feed, so that anyone has access to your content in their personal RSS Readers or on a site that connects to your feed. I won't get into RSS here, 'Real Simply Syndication', but if you are unfamiliar with RSS and want to participate in the latest Web Marketing Techniques, it will be worth your while to start researching the subject.
Promote your blog by joining social networks, link and banner exchanges and creating your own networks. Also, join affiliate and pay-per-click programs. The more viewers you get to your blog, the more dollars you bring in.
