Blogging - A Network Marketer's Secret Weapon

Authored By James Woolley

With so many sites now offering free blogs, and in some
cases free hosting as well, there can be no excuses for not
creating your own blog. As a network marketer you want to
receive as much traffic as possible to your own unique
affiliate links, and blogging is a great way of doing this.

Think of your own blog as another piece of virtual real
estate. The greater your presence on the internet, the more
chances there are of people receiving exposure to your
offer.

As regards the subject of your blog, there are various
things you can do. You could post any articles you write
that relate to the program you are promoting on your blog,
or you could simply post other people's articles on there. I
personally recommend writing your own articles and posting
them on your blog because this way you will be adding fresh
unique content, and therefore you will be rewarded for this
through higher search engine rankings. Just make sure that
you submit your articles to the article directories at least
a week after posting them to your blog. This ensures that
the search engines have plenty of time to spider your site
and credit you for being the original publisher.

If you don't wish to put articles on your blog, you could
personalize it by talking about your own unique experiences
of the product or program that you are promoting, on an
ongoing basis. You could also write your own unique review
of the program, making sure to not only mention the major
benefits and features of the program, but also to highlight
any slight faults inherent in the program for added
credibility. People will appreciate your honesty as most
so-called reviews are nothing more than hyped-up sales
pitches.

Whatever you post on your blog, you should make sure that
you include prominent links to your own unique affiliate
links (and your other websites / blogs if you so wished). I
suggest putting these links in both the side bar, and at the
end of every post you make, if appropriate. Talking of
which, after every post be sure to notify the various search
engines by using 'ping' services like Pingomatic and
Pingoat. This is a very simple process and will help to
bring extra traffic to your blog in the long run.

To conclude, blogs are a great tool that many network
marketers, including myself, are using with great effect.
With all things being equal, blogs tend to rank higher than
conventional websites, helped by the fact that they are
generally updated with fresh content on a regular basis.
Combine this with a good link-building campaign, and you can
start to receive a lot of exposure for your network
marketing program. All this from a free blog that takes just
a few minutes to set up.
