Do you like blogging? I do. Blogging is one of the best ways to
market your business, and to build a following of people who want to
learn more from you. Many people do nothing but blog. They don't do any
outside marketing for their blog whatsoever. All of their traffic comes
from search engines, and from people who link to them.
If you're
new to blogging, I suggest that you begin with a blogging platform like
Blogger. Blogger is very newbie friendly, and allows you to set
everything up without much technical know-how. It's pretty much a "drag
and drop" operation. You can set your blog up within 5 minutes, throw
some Google AdSense and ClickBank products on there, and then just start
generating traffic to your blog.
You can use paid traffic, or
even free traffic. If you're operating in a niche where the Google
AdSense commission is high, and people click on it often, maybe you
should consider using paid traffic. Also, if you get a lot of sales from
the ClickBank product you're promoting, it may be a good idea also to
invest in some paid advertising.
But if you're just getting so-so
commissions from your AdSense income and your ClickBank product, then
free marketing should be the technique that you use. There's nothing
wrong with free marketing. You will just have to do a lot of it to see
the income that you are looking for.
Strive to do as much free
marketing as possible. You have blogging, article marketing, social
marketing, video marketing, SEO, viral marketing, joint ventures, and
even starting your own affiliate program. All of these things are things
that you can do in your business starting right away.
Now along
with Blogger, there's another blogging platform that a lot of people
like to use in their business. This blogging platform is known as
WordPress. WordPress is very popular, but in my opinion, very difficult
to understand. You have to know about themes, plug-ins, pinging
services, folder codes, and more things like that. It's not as simple as
people make it seem to be.
Nevertheless, people are earning nice
money with their WordPress blog, and they say it's the best blogging
platform to use. I personally don't know how to use WordPress (and don't
care about learning about it), but maybe you could find a nice tutorial
about it somewhere online that will help you out.
Blogging is
awesome, and once you finally understand what to do, you will find that
it's easy as pie to start a blog and start earning money from it. There
are a lot of books on blogging, and most of them offer sound advice. I
encourage you to learn more about it so that you can start profiting
from it starting right away.
Blogger and WordPress are the 2 most
popular, and you should try out both to see which one you're most
comfortable with. They both can get you good search engine traffic, so
you can't go wrong with the SEO aspect of things. But try it out for
yourself and see which one you like best. Do it now.
