Why you should Blog and what exactly is a Blog?
Blog and get paid!
Why should you blog???
If you are new to Internet Marketing and online business and not aware of how the internet works and how people are making money online than the word “Blogging” is probably as foreign to you as it is listening to someone speak German.
I actually like the German language, even though I don’t understand anything that they’re saying.
But back to this “Blogging” thing. What is it exactly?
Blogging is actually short for “Web Log” which is essentially a collection of posts or entries on to a website in reverse chronological order. So, simply put it’s an online journal of sorts where the actual pages, or posts, are saved by the search engines.
Search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo save these pages so that people searching for what you Blog about can find you! Simple! You write, Google saves it, and over time your Blog begins to get traffic.
There are over 57 million WordPress Blogs in existence on the internet today and is the most popular form of creating a web presence.
So why should you Blog?
Blogging is quite simple. It brands you, brings clients and customers to you, and allows you to give value to your clients, customers, and followers via the world wide web.
The biggest thing about blogging is that it allows you to generate traffic, which in turn becomes leads, and in turn becomes visitors that opt-in to your offer and buy from you, thus growing your sales and growing your business!
People who blog and do it consistently have a better chance of being seen as professional and it allows you to create a web presence that most entrepreneurs and marketers don’t have.
Blogging allows you to put your thoughts and ideas down on digital paper and truly show the world why they should listen to you and what you have to offer.
Online business and Internet Marketing is a very dynamic beast! If you ever want to earn a dime on the internet than you need access to the best online training that exists to show you HOW you can build a business online and still allow you to have a life at the end of the day.
It doesn’t matter what business you’re in, it only matters if you are online and you have a presence where people can find you! Simple!
So simple that I don’t believe this blog post even needs to be that long, well except for the fact that I need to make sure the post is SEO compliant 🙂
However, I don’t want to bore you with the technical stuff!
Why you should Blog, again.
The internet works to your advantage if you know how it works! Most entrepreneurs and online marketers DON’T so it only makes sense if I find a lot of people reading this article and scratching there head!
If you are going to start a Blog I would suggest using WordPress. WordPress is the most popular CMS (Content Management System) available, and at a relatively cheap price.
I look forward to helping you setup your first blog!
To your success,
