• 1. Blogging is one of the easiest ways to establish a presence on the web. Blogs can be used to:
  • Generate leads, and direct traffic to your lead capture pages.
  • Provide cash flow, via affiliate sites or direct product sales.
  • Establish you as a professional.
  • Support your team or downlines by providing them with training and information they need.
• 2. A blog can be surprisingly cheap to setup and maintain.
  • You don’t need to spend a lot of money on a web designer for a blog. You can set everything up yourself. Really.
  • Blog hosting can cost as little as $6 to $10/month. On Hostgator, $10/month will get you an unlimited number of Wordpress blogs. For those who get really into it!
• 3. Blogs can also be quick to setup.
  • On squarespace.com, for example, you can design the blog yourself with their easy-to-use visual tool. If you can move things around with a mouse, you can design your blog. You can be up and running in an hour or two even if you are a computer newbie.
  • If you are open to a few hours of video instruction, you can set up your blog with Wordpress. This requires a little more time than using squarespace.com, but if you’re more technically inclined, it can give you more design options.
  • There are thousands of free “themes” available to pick from. A “theme” captures the “look and feel” of a blog. In includes the layout, the colors, the fonts, and everything about the visual appearance. You can buy a custom theme if you want, but it’s not necessary. See wordpress.org for a catalog of free themes. You can even change themes after the blog is up and running.
  • With just a little bit of instruction, you can set up and maintain a blog yourself, even if you’ve had little or no web experience. Renegade Professional, for example, has excellent, in-depth, click-by-click video training for creating a blog with Wordpress or SquareSpace.
• 4. There are (free) plugins for Wordpress blogs that make SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and auto tagging (picking significant keywords out of your text) very light work. Squarespace has similar tools.
• 5. There are (free) plugins for Wordpress blogs that let you monitor traffic coming to your blog. You can see how many readers you have for each post on a day-by-day, week-by-week, month-by-month, etc. basis. Squarespace has this feature as well.
• 6. Blog structure is perfect for linking between blog posts and static web pages that are also part of the blog. These links can increase your rank with Google making your site easier for prospects to find.
• 7. The blog can be the hub of your internet marketing or network marketing campaign.
  • Google Adwords campaigns, twitter tweets, Craigslist ads, Google searches, squido content and more can all drive traffic to your blog.
  • Blog structure (including sidebars and static pages) is great for affliate marketing. Once traffic arrives, it can click-through and buy from your blog.
  • You can also have autoresponders and shopping carts in conjunction with your blog.
• 8. Blogs are a popular form of communication because the articles, called ‘posts’, are short. So they are accessible to readers (and writers) with small amounts of available time. To see the potential for reaching a large audience, please read the newsletter from Ann Sieg below.

Blogs have become “mainstream media.”

According to a recent study by Synovate and
Marketing Daily, nearly 40% of Americans
have visited a blog in the past year.

With the total U.S. population hovering
around 307,000,000 people…

That’s roughly 122,800,000 people!

Pretty mind-boggling, huh?

If you don’t have your own blog set-up and
positioned where these people can see it…

Don’t worry, you haven’t missed out!

According to eMarketer, in 2009 an estimated
96.6 million U.S. internet users will visit
(and read from) blogs at least once a month.

I’m not talking “once a year” like my
first example, this is once EVERY MONTH!

But wait until you hear this.

By the year 2013, eMarketer predicts that
128.2 million people, or…
