Why Blogging is Still Important

With the emergence of social media and micro-blogging, many marketers and business people are neglecting their own blogs.Is this wise?No, for several reasons:

  • You own your blog

Third-party blog sites and social media sites are subject to change or closure, along with the content. Think about the fate of sites such as Friendster, MySpace, or Geocities. At the moment, people are actively searching for replacements for Facebook. For example, the recent exodus to newcomer social media website Ello made headlines.

  • A blog re-enforces branding

One primary goal for many marketers is to drive traffic to their primary website. A fresh, frequently-updated blog shows visitors that this website is up-to-date, which adds to its authority. A blog is also an excellent place to re-enforce your brand message.

  • Better analytics

While social media sites and third-party blog sites offer analytics tools, nothing compares to the data you can gather from your own, hosted website. A blog is the perfect place to publish and study content at a very detailed, or granular, level.

In addition to the analytics tools available on your webhost, there are several high-quality analytics services such as crazy egg and Kissmetrics help you gather even more targeted data. However; all this begins with your own web property, including your blog.

  • Google loves blogs

Blogs are great for SEO for a couple of reasons. One is that blog content offers ongoing opportunities for keyword ranking. In particular, long-tail keywords. Blog posts are the perfect place to insert keywords and key-phrases where they will fit in naturally.

Additionally, Google gives websites with fresh content higher ranking priority over websites that are not updated on a regular basis.

Are you convinced that blogging is still relevant and important?

If so, read on for tips on effective blogging.

Blogging Best Practices:

Blogs are much more than a place to put keywords for SEO purposes. The real goal of a blog should be to engage with your audience and display your expertise. There are several things you can do to make sure that your content is interesting and appealing.

Get inside the mind of your audience

Perhaps the most important thing to do is get inside the mind of your audience. Some companies take the step of creating personas to help them visualize and relate to their customers. The better you understand who your audience is, the better you will understand how to write for them.

Show some personality

Many people write in a dry style that is very different from how they would speak to a friend or colleague. What makes a blog interesting; however, is the writer’s personality. Try to write the way that you speak. One way to do this is to record yourself speaking on a topic. Then transcribe your recording. This will help you bridge the gap between how you speak and how you write. Your personality will help to set your blog apart.

Be consistent

Try to write at least one blog post per week. It also helps to post at the same time on the same day. Experiment to find the day and time that most of your readers are likely to read your post and then make that your time to post every week.

In spite of the rise of social media, blogging continues to be an important content marketing tool. If you write interesting posts with lots of personality on a consistent basis, you are sure to increase both engagement and traffic.

Monitoring the social media marketing landscape is vital to your success. If you’d like to have access to even more powerful marketing tips, as well as a way to generate conversion-ready Internet marketing prospects each month, click here to learn about my done-for-you system.

5 simple steps to online cash…

6 am.I wake up.Slip out of my covers.And in to the kitchen I go.If you’re like me, you can’t function without coffee.You fill your coffee maker with water, add the grounds,
and the result is a piping hot and fresh cup of coffee
to start your day with.Simple, step by step directions. Reliable and consistently
tasty coffee, every day.Now here’s the question:Does running a profitable online business have to be so
much harder than this?Although there’s a “bit” more to it, that’s what you want to
be shooting for.

A simple, easy to follow daily recipe for success!.
Something that you can do like clockwork, day in and
day out.

Here’s 5 ways to accomplish this PLUS a big bonus tip.

1) Get clear on your goals and plans. Without clarity,
knowing exactly what you want, and having a general
plan to get there, you’ll never succeed.

This includes getting your MIND right too!

You’ve got to tell yourself that you’ll feel the resistance
to take action. Even with a great opportunity, you’ll
have this pulling urge to just let it sit on your lap.

Know this in advance, know it’ll be uncomfortable, and
get your mind right. Have the mindset that you’ll act
regardless. That fear and resistance will always be
the first step to your success each day.

(Truly, foreseeing and planning on what will occur in
the future is POWER. Look out for an email from me in
a few days on this. It’ll be the Stoic one.)

2) Have a system to follow with something awesome to
sell.

You can follow the MTTB System, proven and guaranteed
to work. Or, if you’ve got something already, cool. Just
keep reading then:

 

(Just make sure its profit potential is big like with mttb. You
need big sales opportunities to make big money in this
biz. That’s a straight up fact.)

3) Drive traffic to your links.

MTTB reveals to you exactly how to do this. Without
steady and regular traffic going into your business, you
have no business.

The good news is, it’s not hard to do this. Traffic isn’t
the issue. Ever. *See number 5.

4) Offer an irresistible offer to your leads. This isn’t
completely necessary, but it certainly will give you a
big leg up over the competition.

What do your leads want? What do they need?

Give them that. They give you $1.00. You give $100.00
back of value in return.

5) Ascend your customers. This is where the big bucks
come in for you. It’s where you take a $7.00 customer and
turn them into a $27,000 customer.

So instead of offering $700 of value to a $7.00 customer
(see point 4), you now offer $270,000 of value to a
$27,000 customer!

Alright, I’m throwing a lot of numbers here and you might
be thinking, “how the heck can I add that much value to
somebody!”

Fear ye not. I’ve got the solution.

You Let Somebody Else Do It:

That’s the beauty of having a multi-million dollar global
company like MOBE in your corner. Which brings me to
the big bonus tip.

BONUS TIP:

We talked about coffee a sec ago. When we make coffee
at our home, we’re getting that fresh cup of Joe with
minimum effort.

All of the hard work has already been done FOR US.

We didn’t have to fly to Columbia or Costa Rica, grow
the bean, harvest, roast, and grind it before we could
start brewing and enjoying a cup.

No, we just grab a bag from the store or even get it
already brewed hot from somewhere like Starbucks.

That’s much how the mttb system works.

This is especially important with regards of running a
SIMPLE business, and following the ascension model.

With mttb, it’s built-in to the opportunity. The company
and system works on your behalf.

And this can result in $1,000-$9,000 commissions and
higher.

Watch the presentation, or read the letter if you prefer.

And if you like, watch it while you enjoy a fresh cup of
coffee! ;)

Anyways I hope today’s tips helps you out in some way.
