A Blog and your Internet Marketing

A Blog can be a main Internet hustle or an addition to your arsenal of marketing strategies. Forums, articles, videos, give-aways, how-to’s, member sites, audios’, etc are all part of a dominating mix of marketing tools.

Oh, I forgot to mention the Blog. I like to think of a Blog for what it is, a Web Log or journal.

I use to feel like a Blog would be too much to maintain. Having never had a Diary or a Journal as a child or adult I didn’t realize how easy it was to write about what you do on a day to day basis.

At the moment I spend 5 or more days a week building my Internet Marketing Empire so I have a lot to talk about. Everything in Internet Marketing doesn’t go smoothly and those things make for a great read.

So if you are getting your Internet Hustle on (no matter the capacity) put your day to day grind in a Blog, keep it relevant to one of your websites and link to it.

A Blog can create a flood of Online Interest in your business. Although your Blog posts may be about how you run your shop you can still use keyword strategies and even post to Ezines.

I have to admit I set this Blog up earlier this year, posted a couple of things then started a new marketing strategy and let my Blog collect dust.

I have realized my mistake in not regularly building my Blog but then again I’m a very busy man. My family will not allow me to let Internet Marketing consume me.

My advise to anyone contemplating building a blog but wants to do it “right the first time”, would be to start it and shape it as you go.

But…

If your blogging for advertising dollars, Plan to Build a Blog that has relevant topics.

There are many successful blogs that discuss a wide variety of different things but when you want to create a Marketing Ring of websites that link to each other you will far better to stick to one topic. As an Internet Marketer is is wise to keep in mind that although there are great marketing strategies the best strategies work in conjunction with others.

Research has shown that search engines sometimes deindex or drop page rank on websites that add too much content to fast. So the buzz in Internet Marketing is to add on page or article to your website per week so that it appears to be growing naturally.

Blogs on the other had seem to be favored by search engines for growing rapidly. That being said; article marketing in conjunction with your blog can generate targeted traffic. You do not have to set up your own domain name to have a successful blog. You will find that there are very successful bloggers who use Blogger dot com as a provider.

Since Blogger is owned by Google you can be sure that their system up time will be close to 100%.

Since Blogging is such a large advertising tool there are numerous social networks that allow you to promote your site easily. Visiting and commenting on blog sites that are relevant to yours is another way to increase your targeted traffic.

If you do not already know; you can use other peoples content on your blog. The drawback is that the links in the content point away from your site but the initial traffic you get to your site as a result of said content gives you an opportunity to market pay per click and other advertisements when traffic lands on your page.

If you have blog content ideas but no time to write then I would suggest outsourcing your content writing. Outsourcing will give you time to come up with more marketing strategies for your blog.
