Blogging 101-Blog Plugins for Newbies

We all know that to be a serious, effective online marketer, one needs to create and maintain a blog.  Your blog is the epicenter of your marketing efforts and the internet "headquarters" for your online business.  Hopefully by now you have created your blog and if you haven't,  please refer to an earlier post I made on this topic @ http://jeffwisuri.com/internet-network-marketing-business-success-plan-step-3.

Plugins are crucial to your blog.  They enhance the overall viability of your blog and make it easier for you to automate certain tasks and ultimately create a powerful syndication engine for your blog posts.  If you are a complete newbie, start by logging into your blog back office and look for "plugins" on the left hand side, then click on "add new."  Then type in the plugin name under the search tab and click on "search plugins."  The search will bring up all available plugins and all you have to do is click on "install." Once it is installed click on "activate plugin" and viola, your plugin is now working hard to make your blog a friendlier place to work!

I've created a short video tutorial on installing a plugin:

Listed below are a few of the plugins I use on my blog to help automate and streamline my day to day blogging activities:

  • Akismet-This plugin is crucial!  It keeps spam and unwanted comments out of your blog.
  • All in One SEO Pack-For more efficient Search Engine Optimization and quicker syndication of your blog posts.  Allows you to type in the title, description and keywords for your content syndication.
  • diggZ-Et-This places a "diggit" button next to your posts so readers can digg your post and bookmark it on Digg.
  • TweetMeme Retweet Button-This places a "re-tweet" button next to your posts so readers can re-tweet and help syndicate your valuable content.
  • Odiogo Listen Button-With podcasts becoming ever more popular, this plugin places a "audio feed" button on your post so people can "listen" to your posts!  Very powerful!
  • OnlyWire for WordPress-Great plugin for syndication.  This places the "onlywire" bookmarking button on the bottom of each post so anyone can click on it and instantly bookmark your post to the top social bookmarking sites!  Great for syndicating your content!

These plugins are just a few of the more crucial ones that should be on everyone's blog.  I hope this helps any of you newbies who are beginning the journey to blogging stardom!

    Does this phrase sound familiar? "I made 7-figures on complete autopilot in just 3-months using this incredible marketing system and so can YOU!" Examples of the sales systems I'm referring to are The 7-Figure Networker, Magnetic Sponsoring, The United Tribe and MLM Lead System Pro. How many times have you been bombarded with these get rich quick messages from the internet marketing world? Probably too many times to count!

    I will always remember that day I received the call, "honey we are Pregnant!" A few gallons of smelling salts and cold buckets of water later I was whisked back into consciousness. Pregnant, no way not this guy. After all I never thought I had what it took to create another human being. I was one of those people who over the years of doing whatever I wanted when I wanted, never fathomed having to take on the unimaginable role called fatherhood!
