Blog MarketingBlog Marketing is a critical element of your internet marketing strategy. Some people believe you can’t have a successful online business without it. A blog is where you write all about your product, business or service that you offer. You also communicate who you are and why someone might want to do business with you. It’s not necessary to write sales pages on your blog; in fact, that’s the one thing you shouldn’t do! You can also make money with blogging which is a growing trend in internet marketing. You choose a niche and blog all about with good content. Then, you monetize it. You must have a your own hosted domain when you blog to make money. It's hard to make serious money on public blogs like Wordpress or Blogger. Even though they allow some adsense, they will pull your blog offline if they see you are blogging for commercial purposes.

It’s better to inform people about who you are, what you do and why. You also offer them a reason to come back to visit your blog again. You also want people to view you as an expert about your product, business or service so they will choose to do business with you. Search engines happen to love blogs because the content is constantly changing and it’s up to date. In fact, they’re more likely to index a blog about a certain trendy niche before they’ll index a site. Remember that the way search engines and humans find you never changes - through the right keywords. In blogging, you will want to “tag” your blog with relevant keywords that will attract the spiders and humans you want to do business with. Once you set up your blog, you need to “advertise” it on the web. There are many ways to do this through social media marketing also known as buzz marketing . Setting up an RSS feed on your blog is one very important step so that people can subscribe to your blog. Every time you update it, they’ll be notified. Getting an account on Technorati is another way to advertise your blog. This is a web site that simply organizes and categorizes blogs from all over the web. (There are other web sites that do this; Technorati is just about the biggest.) Some people believe that they don’t even need a site if they have a blog but it all depends on what your goal is for your online business. Blogs are limited in what they can do. So if you want to grow an ecommerce business or start a forum or membership site, you need a full-fledged site.
