When you see the word ‘blogging’ what springs to mind for you? Some people have images of a teenager blogging about random school yard gossip. Perhaps you think of someone just like Heather Armstrong, the woman who supports her family by blogging about her life and her children. Do you think about some random guy with no life who spends all day blogging about a computer game he’s addicted to? Regardless of these thoughts, did you know that blogging could be the key to building a successful internet marketing business? Have you ever considered that blogging could be a great way to bring in revenue? Internet marketers have plenty of reasons to get into blogging. Here are just a few of them.
Blogging is dynamic and never static! The beauty of blogging is that you have the ability to shape the site how you want it and create a two-way line of communication where you can talk and others can talk back. Blogging allows you to do things that enhances your site that you normally wouldn’t be able to unless you have a technological background. If you enjoy writing then write until you fall out.
Don’t like writing? – then only provide a few sentences. It’s up to you! Remember, that blogging is very customizable. Mixing fun and business haven’t really been possible before, except if you are an entertainer or something, but now blogging is here to help you make sells and have fun.
Once your popularity increases, you could find that people will pay you to write blog posts about their products or services. This isn’t the same thing as a sponsored post, where you’re only selling two lines of space at either the top or the bottom of a blog post. This is where an advertiser will pay to have a specific post written about a topic and include a link to something he’s promoting. You can charge good money for posts such as these. It’s common for some bloggers to command prices of more than $100 per post. You will need to abide by the rules and state that the post was paid for, or you could find yourself in trouble with the legal authorities. Despite this stricture, you can still earn a healthy amount of extra money.
Blogs are a great way to network and build your business contacts. A start is to submit your blog to a blog directory and other similar sites.
You have the opportunity to leave worthwhile comments on people’s sites; especially the ones who took the time to add a good post to yours. Building relationships can e as simple as posting superb content to other blogs; once others see the valuable information that you are giving away for free then you will automatically become a person that they want to get to know better. This is one of the ways to meet your future super-affiliates and joint venture partners. You might even be able to sell to each others audiences!
Blogs can offer so many diverse ways to build business that it’s sometimes hard to know which one you like best. There are many more reasons for blogging than against blogging. What’s holding you back? Start building your blog right now and you could be rewarded with sales as early as tonight.
