Blogging – Why We Love It!

By: Mike Paetzold

Blogging is not a new activity, at least for those who jumped on the blogger bandwagon a couple of years ago. But more recently, it’s become a platform for all kinds of social, commercial and personal stories and information. While blogging may have started out as an internet fad, these days it’s much more widely used in business, as well as by individuals.

Blogging – tell your stories.

We love telling our tales of woe or triumph, writing witty anecdotes, or simply sharing our thoughts with the rest of the world. Blogging has given us the opportunity to get our opinions published for everyone to see, to comment on the latest big news items or celebrity gossip. Writing down our daily thoughts helps us to get the worries and frustrations of life out of our heads and lets us share our big moments on the blogging pages.

Blogging – share your interests.

One of the fantastic things about blogging is that we can write about absolutely anything; hobbies, lifestyle, children, school and work. There’s a whole host of blogging sites dedicated to particular interests, and we can keep up to date with other people’s views on things that we have in common. Whether it’s the latest technology, gadgets, cars or computer games, or things like travel and holidays, we can stay in touch with the most up to date information.

Blogging - get involved in the community.

Charity associations, local clubs, and community groups can use blogging to get their organizations known by a wider reaching audience. Online accounts of recent events is a great way to use blogging pages to get publicity, while a short piece on the next meeting or class can help promote the work of the club, and may even attract more participants or volunteers. The great advantage of blogging over writing web pages is that it’s quick and easy, and can be done by almost anyone!

Blogging – promote your business.

Many companies now use blogging pages as an informal way of connecting with their customers. For the smaller, or new business owners, it’s an excellent way to publicize their products without expensive advertising costs. Just by posting a regular blogging column, small companies can often draw in more business than by the more conventional methods.

Blogging – making a profit.

The biggest shake-up in the blogging explosion has most likely been caused by internet entrepreneurs. Promoting their online products and services has been helped tremendously by putting up several blogs to support their ventures. Blogging has hugely increased the potential traffic to new and existing websites, giving the marketers much more exposure to people using search engines for specific information. Blogging in itself has become a money-making business, even for beginners in the internet marketing business.

Having become one of the greatest internet resources for all types of people, blogging is usually free, easy to get started, and gives us all the opportunity to reach a massive worldwide audience!

  • To Find As Many Profitable Niche Markets For Info Products As You Will Need By: Ravii Kumar - Just how do you go about selecting the best niche or niches for your online business to exploit? After all information or e-book marketing is a proven and lucrative business but for those without the right know how, choosing a niche market can be both time consuming and disheartening. Fortunately there are tried and tested methods for finding suitable niches, which anyone can adapt and use in their own business.

  • Collaboration Beats Competition By: Drew020 - I believe in cooperation rather than competition. I think it serves customers better when they have a choice. And let's face it, not every product or service suits every customer. So if someone doesn't like my style of coaching, I'll happily refer them to someone else who might be a better fit. That's cooperation rather than competition. As proof that cooperation can work, look at some other examples from ‘big business'.

  • The Power of Nice By: Drew020 - Nice. It's the four letter word we need to hear more of. I don't know about you, but I think we seem to be back to the days of ‘lunch is for wimps.' We're surrounded by a cut-throat business environment where workers think nothing of trampling on each other in the fight for profits. And if you haven't squished a competitor by lunchtime then you're weak.

  • Does Your Message Match Your Market? By: Drew020 - Does Your Message Match Your Market? Dan Kennedy eloquently states a key principle in marketing by referring to the ‘message to market match'. Let's review this important concept. Firstly, let's break it down. Your ‘message' is WHAT you tell the customer to persuade them to buy your product or service. Incidentally, don't confuse the message with the media or medium used to ‘transport' the message, such as an eBay listing, a classified ad, a yellow pages ad, a website page etc. The ‘market' is your audience of customers.

  • A.L.O Technique -- Use Testimonials By: Drew020 - A.L.O. is a term I coined (deliberately similar in style to S.E.O.) which stands for ‘Auction Listing Optimization'. It can be defined as ANYTHING you can do within the eBay environment that increases the number of buyers, or that prompts buyers to go directly to your website. Each month I discuss an A.L.O. technique that you can implement in your eBay business… There's a famous British comedy series from the 70's that featured John Cleese (from Monty Python fame).

  • Bids and Pieces - Are You Using Video Yet By: Drew020 - I've been preaching for a looooong time about using video in eBay listings. It's really easy to do (yes, even if you're not a geek) and it's persuasive. If you want to sell more, using video is one of the best things you can add to your listings or your website. The user interface is intuitive and fun, and it's remarkably easy and fast to find the kind of vehicle you're looking for.

  • Sometimes It All Just Goes Wrong By: Drew020 - If you've been in business for awhile, you'll have experienced occasions when everything goes wrong. Despite your best efforts, circumstances beyond your control conspire and some of your customers have a bad experience. What do you do? Bury your head in the sand? Leave the country for a couple of weeks? Change your phone number? Well, you could, but that won't solve the problem.

  • If You Only Read One Column, Read This One! By: Drew020 - In the March issue of this newsletter, I featured an interview with Jeff Johnson, a very smart marketer who's a good friend of mine. I enjoyed this interview very much, and even though I‘ve heard Jeff speak many times, I took away some tips that have made me many thousands of dollars in profit since then.

  • Rewarding Research By: Drew020 - I've never been a fan of number crunching or compiling data, in fact that's putting it mildly. Truth is it makes me shudder just thinking about it, but I've come to realize that whether I like it or not is irrelevant. Research data is valuable, so it needs my attention (and yours too). I've also learned that I don't have to be the one to pore over the excel spreadsheets – there are plenty of other people who get excited at equations and graphs and charts and algebra.
