Title:    Blogging for Business - Should You?

So you've heard that having a blog is a good idea for your business, but are you sure WHY it's important? Understanding how blogs operate and how to use them for your business will give you great payoffs for your investment of time and energy. Not using your blog effectively will simply waste this fantastic resource.

WHY SHOULD I 'BLOG FOR BUSINESS'?

Blogs are a great method for giving your business credibility. Whether you post about industry news, recommend links to related topics or post valuable inside information or experiences, your audience will view you not only as a commercial venue but as a business interested in its community.

You can also use your blog to build traffic to your commercial site and to build a list of interested prospects. All of these issues are solid tools for marketing your product or service online.

WHY BLOGGING IS GREAT FOR CUSTOMERS

Blogs are not viewed the same as a typical website or sales page. The postings are often less formal or are presenting readers with interesting tidbits that entertain or inform about your topic or industry. Regular postings that draw the attention of your target market will build interest in your product and establish you as an 'expert' as well as create a good relationship with your prospects.

Since you can offer subscriptions to your blog through services like Bloglet.com, your prospects can easily receive notice of your recent postings right in their email inbox. By regularly posting relevant information your prospects will look to you first when needing the service or product you provide.

Since many blogs offer readers the ability to post comments you immediately provide an opportunity for feedback or questions. This can clue you in to what your market needs or thinks, which can quickly be responded to in your next post.

BLOGGING FOR TRAFFIC

There are several methods of traffic buildings with blogs. One method is through the blog provider. Often the provider offers readers the option of searching for blogs with a word or phrase. Using that phrase in your blog or title will bring interested visitors.

The other method is through search engines. Search engines love fresh content and blogs make this easy. Simply 'ping' your blog to other media (this announces your update) and the search engines will pick it up. Using commonly searched words and phrases may give you the top ranking you were looking for. You can also link to your business website with the phrase and increase traffic directly to your sales page.

Finally, you can add an RSS feature to your blog. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) allows other websites to run the content from your blog. Every time you make a post the information will be automatically updated on sites featuring your RSS. This is attractive to sites with topics related to yours since they will benefit from the fresh content and you will benefit from the exposure.

If you haven't jumped on the blogging bandwagon yet you've been missing out on one of the cheapest and smartest marketing tools available. Creating a blog is easy and profitable - so make yours today!

2.         Something for the Newbies

I thought you might be interested in taking a look at this site that I have just found.  It was recommended to me by several people and I think the information they offer is really good. It is certainly better than most sites I have looked at and even though is doesn't cost anything to join they give away a book on blogging that's better than most books I have spent good money on recently. You have nothing to lose, but a lot of very good information to gain.

3.         Something for the Oldies

It's never been easier to start your own Internet business and make money online than by publishing your own blog and you can start blogging for FREE!  There is no requirement to know anything about HTML, the Internet, or even have a product to sell.
"Blogging for dollars" took a year in the making and is a system anyone can use to make money with free blogging technology.
The system will provide all that you will need to secure a top spot in practically any search engine - and drive swarms of targeted visitors to your website!  It comes with a 96-minute instructional DVD, and an easy-to-follow guidebook with 115 pages of detailed techniques and strategies for generating massive profits from any blog!  I could go on and on, but it would be far better if you take a look for yourself:

4.         Recommendation of the week

I still think that the offer made by Derek Gehl which I sent out to you in this last week is something no-one should miss.
He is giving away copies of "The Internet Millionaire's Protege Bootcamp Videos" for just $2.95!  Once you join up, you have access to all the information regarding building a business that you could ever want.  I paid the full price, and my business has benefited from all the information available, time and time again.  I would still have paid the full price, even after a 30 day trial.  Please take the time to look at what Derek is offering:
