When you see the word 'blogging' what springs to mind for you? Do you have images of a teenaged kid blogging about school yard gossip and random issues? Perhaps your thoughts turn to bloggers like Heather Armstrong, the woman who supports her family by blogging about herself and her children. Do you think about some random guy with no life who spends all day blogging about a computer game he's addicted to? Regardless of what stereotype images you think of, blogging can be a vital tool in building a profitable internet marketing business. Have you ever considered that blogging could be a great way to bring in revenue? If you're an internet marketer, you can't afford to overlook blogging as part of your business. Here are some of the bigger reasons to consider blogging.
Blogs can provide you with ways to build up your online income. Once your blog has grown to a point of recognition, you may find you have people trying to contact you regarding sponsorship offers. It's completely up to you to decide how much you want to charge sponsors to place links or ads for their products on your blog posts. You could decide to keep these sections of your blog posts to promote your own products. Imagine if you could add a small sponsor ad onto two blog posts each week at $30 per ad. That gives you an extra $240 a month. Imagine selling that space on every post you write and writing five posts a week. That will net you $150 a week (or $600 or so a month). The opportunities for sponsorship are enormous.
If you provide enough good information on your blog for free, you should be able to set up a subscription based newsletter. This newsletter can be inexpensive. Believe it or not but $1-2 per subscriber can make you money. Let's say that you issue two copies per month with a $1 charge. In the end, 150 people sign up to receive issues. You have just created a monthly income stream of $300 dollars for something that requires very little maintenance. Simple methods like this is a great way for a newcomer to start making money fast or for a veteran to a extra streams of income to there business.
Blogging can also create more links to your other products and websites. While some will advocate starting a blog for each product you create, you can also benefit by using a single blog to advertise all of your products. If you use the sidebar and post footer and header wisely, you're able to add links to any other sales pages you have. These extra links pointing to those pages can help them to rank higher in search engines. You'll also be building authority with sites such as technorati and alexa, which could become important later if you choose to sell your sites. There are plenty of ways that blogging can be beneficial to your internet marketing endeavors. Blogging can help you to increase awareness of the products you're promoting, which in turn can raise sales. There are many internet marketers who notice a massive increase in the number of sales they make soon after they start blogging regularly about their niche topics. It doesn't even matter if you have no idea how to build a blog or begin posting content to it. There is so much helpful information available about blogging that you'll find it easy to get started.
