Everyone Should Have a Blog! Do You?

Whether you have your own business, your own product, or you’re an affiliate marketer… absolutely everyone should have a blog. A blog is a great tool for getting traffic to your website, gaining credibility with your visitors, building a list of subscribers, building your name and brand, and more.

Another reason you should have a blog is because the search engines love them because they are full of fresh content. Also, a blog is much more susceptible of getting good rankings in the search engines than a website is and even showing up on the front page in many cases. That’s all the more reason why you should continuously add posts to your blog. When you do so, the search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN take notice and check it out therefore increasing your chances of moving higher in the natural (free) rankings.

It is a known fact that some of the highest paid affiliates make their money by using blogs. Websites like WordPress, Joomla and Blogger are all places where you can go to build a free blog. And they all make it pretty much as easy as point and click. Truthfully, anyone can build a blog with these easy to use programs.

Once you get your blog up and running, which can literally be in minutes… you will naturally want to get traffic coming to it. And one easy way to do that is by writing articles and posting them to your blog.

Once you have posted your article you will want to write a short email to your list of subscribers telling them about your article. Be sure to include a link to the article at your website and encourage them to visit your blog to read and comment on your post.

NOTE: If you don’t have a list yet then you will definitely want to be working on that.

The reason?

I’ll answer that with a fact… the highest paid internet marketers is that they ALL believe that EVERYONE should have a list. As a matter of fact, you should be building your list with everyone that visits your site.

Anyway, you can learn how to get started building your list immediately through the tutorials and videos at myonlinesuccess.com.

So let’s get back to where we left off:

You can also submit your articles to article directories to build inbound links and credibility. This can also help to drive more traffic to your blog as well. I would suggest that you post fresh content to your blog at least a couple or more times a week. It you are thinking that this sounds like a lot of work, then remember, your posts don’t have to be long.

Tell me this… how many sales do you think you could make if you could show up on the first page of Google for the products that you promoted? I can surely say that would be very powerful.

Another great things about blogs is that it allows people to interact which is part of the new wave of the internet. People can visit your blog, read your articles or product reviews and comment on them as well.

The good thing about this is that it allows you to see what your visitors are thinking and wanting. And by you knowing this, you can give it to them as well. Also, if you are good about continually adding fresh content to your blog, then you will build a following of people that keep coming back over and over and over again… which in turn also increases your chances of selling to them over and over and over.

As you continually add to your blog and provide good and informative content, you will establish yourself as an authority in your field. People will then also be more likely to keep returning to your blog to see what products you have recommended in the past as well as those that you recommend now.

And keep in mind… the more traffic you get to your blog and the more links pointed to your blog, the better rankings you are rewarded with in the search engines. Even if you have a website, it is absolutely necessary that you have a blog.

As I stated before… everyone should have a blog!!! EVERYONE!

Naming Your Blog is a Very Important First Step in the Blog Creation Process

Blogs are currently all the rage in the internet marketing world. They have seen a rise in popularity so sudden and forceful that even brand names companies are getting in on the action. Movie stars, writers, television producers, and a myriad of highly respected individuals are using blogs as part of their every day lives. Starting a blog may seem like a daunting task for someone who doesn’t know much about them, but they’re really not that hard to setup. WordPress blogs in particular are very user-friendly, and the WordPress CMS (content management system) makes the process even more simple. The very first thing you want to do before you setup your WordPress blog is come up with a name for it.

Naming your blog is a very important first step in the blog creation process. If your blog is going to be about a particular niche or subject, then your name should be based on that. For example, if I wanted to start a blog that promoted fishing hooks, I would come up with a catchy title such as ‘Fishing Hooks: Necessary or Unnecessary?’, and then design my content around that phrase. You’ll also need to choose a website address. If you’re signing up for a free blog on Word press, then the title will be something like ‘fishing hooks word press’. If you’re using the WordPress software for your own website, then you’ll have to check for the available domains and use something that you think is fitting to your niche.

After you’ve come up with a name, you’ll need to pick a template (called a ‘theme’ in the WordPress blogs universe) for your blog. WordPress has many free and professional-looking templates for you to choose from from it’s main website. If you’re looking for something more original though, for more details visit to www.your-own-blog.com or a template that no one’s used before, looking for a designer who develops templates or a website that sells pre-made templates to budding bloggers would be your best bet. Once you have the code for your template implemented and setup, you’ll then need to configure the necessary widgets that you want displayed on your blog.

Widgets are a big feature of the WordPress CMS that allow you to do stuff like add different pages (e.g. Home, About, Contact, etc.), or content to your blog. Some of the content widgets include del.icio.us, Flickr, and Meebo, among other things. You can also add a calendar, links, a search feature, or an RSS feed button to your blog. Utilizing these widgets on your WordPress blogs will give them a slight step up from other barren, mundane blogs out there. People like to be able to mess around with the content and features of the blogs they visit, and yours will not be an exception to that rule. If you want to know how to start a blog, for more details visit to www.blog-and-ping.com keeping your potential visitors in mind at all times is something that you should start doing immediately.

These are pretty much the main things that you have to do to start posting on your WordPress blogs, and start making money (if that’s your goal). Most people think that creating the content for their blog is the first step, but as I’ve shown in this article, there’s a lot of pre-foundational work that has to be done before you can get your blog out into the world. From naming your blog, to choosing how it will look, to choosing what kind of interactive features you want on it, it all goes towards teaching you how to start a blog. If you want to start learning more about WordPress blogs, then you’ve already taken a step in the right direction by reading this article.

How do I know if a WordPress theme supports a subscribe option?

I’m looking for a WordPress magazine theme that let’s te readers subscribe to a newsletter. How do I find out if a template can do that? When I look at the demos I never come across this function. Thanks!

A theme is not what allows the reader to sub to a newsletter, or rss feed. You need to find a plugin that
will fit your needs and there are tons of them out there. It’s simply a matter of installing the plugin and adding code to a template.

How can i get my widgetbucks code on my wordpress blog?

Every time i try to put the code in either my post or my text widget it just comes up blank, it won’t show anything. Now widgetbucks say that you can post the code on your wordpress blog. However i am having issues doing so. Can someone please helpme and/or give me some tips.

If you have a Hosted WordPress.com site you can’t ad the Widgetbucks code. It uses javascript, and since wordpress is a shared server ( You’re on the same drive as thousands of other blogs) there are security issues.

If WidgetBucks has the option, use the HTML Widget instead.

Installing WordPress
