 Benefits of a blog- 6 Solid Benefits of a Blog

Today i will be sharing some important benefits of getting a self-hosted secure blog for your online business. These days it seems like everyone is flocking to the internet. It’s no wonder the internet reaches billions of people worldwide. It’s no longer a ‘miracle’ to talk to someone who is experiencing your tomorrow, while you are in their yesterday. It’s common place to have friends in other countries that you’ve never physically met and in turn build long lasting relationships and partnerships with them. With all these things possible in our virtual world, it is imperative that you make a mark that will stand out among the billions of people out there. The best way to do that is  with your own blog!

Here are 6 Solids Benefits of a Blog.

Internet Branding

benefits of a blogOne of the major benefits of a blog is Individual BRANDING. By this i mean having an Online Presence that puts you out there and make you unique. Just like Coke, Pepsi, Wal-Mart, Target and any other major retailer have brands; you need to have a brand too. Owning your self-hosted blog allows you the flexibility to build the brand you want. You are able to express yourself and allow your personality to shine.

Trying to hide behind a computer screen and recruit online is wishful thinking.. In Online Marketing, especially Network Marketing people only do business with people that they have come to KNOW, LIKE and TRUST.

With your self hosted blog, you can unleashed the power of the Internet and build long lasting friendships with thousands of people from the comfort of your home, all the time showing your leadership characteristics through your blog contents and videos.  This makes people see you as a natural leader and quite often wants to join your inner circle  i.e. join your business :-)

Design

Another big benefits of a blog is the flexibility to customize and design your blog for optimal results. With networks and replicated website, there is nothing to allow you to stand out among the rest. By hosting your own blog, you decide how you want your site to look. You can design your blog to your own liking. This goes along with branding as well. And… you can change your look whenever you get ready!

Plus once you begin generating traffic to your blog, you can add web/contact me forms to build YOUR list of readers or customers. You can not achieve this with a company’s replicated website. Plus with a beside like that.. what makes you different from everyone else who has the exact same website? ….. Stand out.

I use to market replicated websites, until i realized am just through my hard earn income to the gutters, because i soon realize that, there is simply no point driving traffic to a site that doesn’t brand me what so ever.

Content Control

benefits of a blog   When you own your own blog, you control the content. You control what gets displayed and how often your blog is updated. You can add your videos, interact with your readers, voice your opinion, share you story. What’s more is that all the content you create is owned and maintained by you.

How many times have i heard people crying their eyes in the blues because their wordpress.com, or blogger (blogspot).com website was terminated instantly because they mistakenly violated some “company policy”. Years of hard work, pain and time and money invested in creating contents, getting fans.. all GONE. Be wise here… Its a cruel world we live in… Every TOP Entrepreneur and Investor love the word CONTROL. Control your blog and don’t be cheap and depend on a company for your success, cos they honestly do not care about you.

Revenue Generation

Starting out on a blogging network site such as Ning or sites that offer free hosting for blogs is OK. However, you don’t control any of the revenue generation. You can monetize your own self-hosted blog. You choose the products to promote and which ones will be featured on your blog. You get to keep 100% of the revenue generated.

Mindshare

Mindshare is when someone is able to easily remember you. You can do this with a domain name. You can choose your domain name with a self-hosted blog. You can choose www.yourname.com or something catchy that has to do with your niche. You want to avoid lengthy domain names so that the user can easily recall what it is.

Traffic Generation

My final benefits of a blog is off-course TRAFFIC. Without traffic and leads your business is dead. With a static website, a user has look for you specifically. With a blog, you can rank on the search engines with keywords, thus generating more traffic from the search engines.

If you need some help in understanding how the search engine works and how to rank in the front page of Google, you can view this post here i wrote on Search Engine Traffic… its easy and you can do it.

Free PLR Articles- Free Blog Articles With Zero Efforts

Free PLR Articles- How to use free PLR articles for your blog

Private Label Rights (PLR) is an absolute stress-reliever when it comes to content for your blog! Creating content is the most time-consuming activity of blog maintenance. Creating blog posts, articles, and E-books can sink your productivity into the red in no time! By using free PLR articles to fill the content needs for your blog, you automatically get a boost to your productivity, which means more free time to build your business!

Free PLR Articles

Free PLR Articles

Private Label Rights (PLR) is a license where the author sells the intellectual property rights to their work. The license is defined by the author of the work in that they can tell you what you can and cannot do with the property. By purchasing the content, you agree to the terms. When it comes to content for your blog, you purchase the rights for someone else’s content and use it as your own.

The first use of free PLR articles on your blog is for content. Used appropriately, PLR is a great source of content for your blog! Blogging daily takes a lot of time, thought, and effort. To be successful, however, you have to do it. There’s no easy way around it. Blogging in itself is NOT an income-producing activity. It is a NECESSARY activity, but not an income-producing activity. Using PLR will allow you to spend less time on content and more time on other income-producing activities.

Free PLR Articles Sources:

You can find free plr articles for your blogging needs here (It opens in a new window so you may come back and continue reading this post)

You can also use PLR content as a bonus or free gift! This is especially helpful for the new marketer who doesn’t have their own product to offer. This could be an E-book or a free report on various topics. You can brand PLR products by using a professional cover and editing the content to make sure it’s niche specific. By offering a PLR product, you have something to give your reader in exchange for the reader giving you their information.

Depending on the PLR license, you may also be able to re-sell the product. Some E-books offer personalization, so that you can promote your affiliate links for specific products. Using this type of product will help you produce some immediate income to sustain your online marketing business. With all of the hard work out of the way, you can have a product to offer from Day 1!

Before purchasing PLR, check to see how many copies of the content has been sold! The LAST thing you want to do is purchase content that has been sold in unlimited quantities. The internet world, though big, is very small. If you get content from a source that has sold it in unlimited quantities, people will figure it out. Your credibility as a knowledge source will come into question, and damage your reputation.  You want to buy from a source that sells its content in limited quantities.

A recommended site to get really low priced unique contents ready to go is MLM PLR Store.com

 

However for now you can get free PLR articles here

Private Label Rights content needs to be presented in a way that only you know that you have used PLR. Once you have great content, it’s time to give it some personality…. YOUR personality! With that said, please take a few minutes to edit the content to add your own touch!  Use the framework of the content – the concept and main ideas – but use your own words!

PLR is a 7-figure earner secret that is a huge time-saver that offers so many uses. Partner with a source such as the MLM PLR store for your content needs.

4 Easy Ways To Make Money Just By Blogging

January 15, 2012   Blogging and Online Branding   2 Comments

Ways to make money blogging

Are you looking for ways to make money online? Have you considered blogging as an option? Blogging is a great way to generate anywhere from a little income to a lot! The greatest thing about blogging is that it can be done at any time. Here are 4 stupid simple ways you can earn an income blogging. (Warning: the last method is mind blowing..so make sure you read the last one)

Affiliate income

Affiliate programs are a great source of income for bloggers. With an affiliate program, you earn a commission whenever a reader purchases a service or product to a company and people buy stuff online almost every seconds. You are given a specific link and can choose a banner ad to place on your site like you must have noticed i do on this my blog. Some great sources to find affiliate products are:  Clickbank, Linkshare, and Amazon. These sites are essentially a ‘Wal-Mart’ for affiliate products.

Selling Advertising Space

Google Adsense is probably the most widely used form of selling ad space on a blog, although there are others. Programs like this are very easy to with your blog. You receive a bit of HTML code to add to your blog for specific products relative to your niche. You are paid on ‘per click’ – a ‘cost per click’ (CPC) basis. There are also impression based ads that earn you income based on the number of times someone views the ad.

Sell Subscriptions

Subscriptions are a great source of residual income. Just like with a magazine, your readers pay for the information they receive on a recurring basis. This can be a difficult feat for a blogger, because the information found on blogs can normally be found on the internet free of charge. If, however, you have access to exclusive information and are a real expert [ie, Real Estate Agent, CPA or Attorney], you can provide your information for a fee!

Now drum roll please! brrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Tada….

Empower Network

Unless you have been living under a rock, you probably have heard all the buzz about Empower Network. This is a 3 step viral blogging system that is blazing a trail for blogging. For a nominal monthly fee of $25, you receive a fully operational WordPress blog like this.

The Empower Network has a simple philosophy:

1. Blog Daily

2. Tell others

3. Get Paid.

      You earn 100% commissions that are paid INSTANTLY when you refer a new user to the Empower Network. With this system, even the newest blogger can make money online in the fraction of the time it would normally take.  As a value-add, you will have access to weekly marketing training that will teach you the fundamentals of marketing online from the best of the best. Not only that, you will be part of a blogging community that is willing to help you as well!

Like you see in the banner on the left, this was almost kept a secret. Many still wonder why this two gentlemen revealed this stuff. I get daily deposits in my bank account or paypal, it now is becoming scary. I can go on ranting about this stuff but you just have to see it to believe it.

Blogging is an excellent choice for earning income. With Empower Network you have the greatest opportunity to blog yourself all the way to the bank!
