(To Both Keep In Touch And Educate Your Target Audience So That You Eventually Make More Money!)
So do the names “Pearson or Reed Elsevier” ring a bell? Probably not, but they are two of the planets largest and most successful publishers! And what does that have to with you consistently profiting from five of the coolest advantages of using a blog?
Hold that thought. Any idea how much money, time and expertise, you’d need to even attempt at starting your own traditional publishing empire? Especially now!
Name One Of The biggest Advantages Of Using A Blog!
Yes the article title mentioned five; and those will be covered soon enough. In the meantime, if you were to even attempt at starting a traditional publishing business of any type. You’d be under enormous and constant pressure to produce fresh original (not to mention) relevant content each and everyday, right? Yep!
And you’d need a steady fresh supply of eager paying advertisers! Not to mention a highly trained staff, and a boat load of eager reader/subscribers, and ton of other important factors!
The real question is this: Entrepreneur, is that really what you signed up for? Nope! Now having said that, let’s be crystal clear here! First, the type of blog that’s being advocated here, is no other than a state of the art WordPress blog! Which you can:
A.) Learn how to build your very own state of the art WordPress blog. (Which does have a learning curve.) No matter which qualified source you choose! Or..
B.) You can outsource the entire process and let some qualified expert put one together for you. One of my buddies “Doug Greathouse” over at superheromarketing.net. In Doug’s companies case, they can literally have your state of the art WordPress site and going within just five business day or less!
And have your site completely SEO (Search engine optimized)optimized too! Typically for under $300 dollars to begin with! Check their site to be sure, say hello to Doug (via their contact page) and be sure and tell him yours truly sent you and he’ll hook you up asap!
The main point being, you can and should get a WordPress blog up and going and start actively communicating (sharing) your valuable expertise with your target market asap!
So What Are These Five Big Advantages Of Using A Blog Anyway? (And Will They Help Me Business Grow?)
The other thing you (definitely) need to come to grips with, right off the bat is. Under no circumstances is this post advocating, that you get started blogging by using any of the “so called” free blogging platforms out there!
Which means no ‘blogger or Live journal or WordPress.com blogging sites etc. Unless, your starting them strictly for non profit personal or recreational use only! And the other thing is, the “WordPress” platform being advocated for here, is the WordPress.org platform, which will need some type of professional paid hosting service, such as bluehost.com. The hosting service of choice, for yours truly.
(And yes, this blog you’re reading is a WordPress.org site, that’s being self hosted on paid hosting service, called bluehost.com!) That said; here are five really cool advantages of using a blog.
1.) Not to beat a dead horse here, but you can literally get a state of the art WordPress blog, up and going for under $300 dollars, even less if you wanna outsource outside the US!
2.) As far as the content that’s published to your blog, guess what? You and you alone control it!(That one major advantage alone is freaking huge!)
3.) You’re the editor in chief! Which means you ultimately decide, who does or doesn’t publish content to your site. And what form that content will take! Not some hourly employee, that probably doesn’t have their own blog, and has very little real world marketing experience to boot!
And yet, here they are put in charge of deciding if your content gets published or edited, then published!
4.) Absolutely no pressure from outside sources, about how frequently you have (or need to) publish fresh original content! Of course let’s be crystal clear here.
If you’re not going to be consistent, Google and the other major search engines, will pretty much ignore your site! But ultimately, nobody dictates, when or how often you need to publish content of any kind!
And your audience will quickly thin out, if they see do don’t publish fresh new content regularly!
5.) Absolutely no jumping through hoops, when it comes to what specific criterion your hopefully (above board) “how to” problem solving content has to meet! You decide that! Not some publisher or one of their hourly paid assistants!
Although you can and should use some o the popular article marketing directories, such as ezinearticles.com or articlecity.com etc; in order to create extremely valuable back links etc.
They ultimately decide if you get published or not! With your own state of the art WordPress blog, you’re ultimately in control! And those my friend, are the five really cool advantages of using a blog, to both educate and market to your target audience!
