Everybody is blogging these days! Kids, teens, moms, dads, and even grandmas are blogging. Due to the popularity of blogs, and the ease of use, even businesses blog. It could be the business owner blogging, in the case of a small business, or it could be someone hired to blog for a major corporation, such as Microsoft. Everywhere you look, there’s a blog.
You can use blogs in a couple of ways to help your article marketing endeavors along. The first way is to publish your articles on your own blog. Setting up a blog is easy. Most webhosting companies include blogs in the webhosting package, or you can choose a hosted blog, such as Word Press or Blogger. Giovanna and I have a six hour Video Course that will show you everything you need to know about blogging.
Here’s a few Tips taken right from our blogging classes. Make sure that your blog has syndication or RSS abilities, and allow your blog readers to syndicate your articles! This is a vital point in using blogs for the distribution of articles.
Simply get your blog set up at wordpress or blogger. Choose your niche target market. We talk about niche target marketing and branding yourself in our 6 hour Video Blogging Training Course. Set up any categories that fit your niche target market and your brand. Start off by copying and pasting your articles in to your blog to get you started while creating new fresh content daily. Make sure that you submit your best blogs to Digg and other resources covered in the Blog Classes. And of Course, convert those blogs into articles and republish them.
Another way to use blogs to help your article marketing is to visit other peoples blogs that relate to your niche. When you find a topic that you have written an article about, add a comment, with a link to the articles (preferably to the article posted on your own blog), inviting other readers of the blog to read the article.
Be sure to visit several like-Minded Blogs and post comments on their blog. If you’ve taken the blogging class at AdvancedBlogTraining.com , then you can send your blog to Giovanna and she will pass out blog to her circle of influence. This will get immediate traffic and comments posting on your blog. That is what you want because this will help increase traffic to your blog. Google and other search engines will pick up on this stuff.
What “NOT TO DO”…..In most cases, it would be considered bad form to post your entire article on someone else’s blog. Make sure you simply link to the article instead of posting the entire article, and make sure that the article really is very relevant to the topic at hand.
