A blog is a type of website. It allows the website owner to easily write messages that get posted to the site automatically, often in a journal or diary-like style. A particularly appealing thing about blogs is that your readers can comment back to your posts fairly easily, and a continuous stream of fresh conversations result. (This is a good thing.)
Here are three reasons to consider getting a blog:
1.To Replace Your Ezine
If you currently publish an ezine, you may wish to consider replacing it with a regularly published blog. This means using your blog to publish journal entries, and then when it comes time to communicate with your subscriber list Mauro Icardi Jersey , you excerpt some items from your blog, and send those out as your ezine.
This saves you from creating special articles only for your ezine. In many cases it becomes easier for you to write in blog format (short and sweet) so you save time. Readers enjoy the practical, "reporter-like" nature of blogs instead of ezines, and gradually come to feel that they are in conversation with you on a daily basis. You become part of their everyday circle of friends and associates, which leads to you becoming their natural resource on the topic of your expertise.
2. To Create a Quick and Dirty Learning Environment or e-Campus
For those of you who offer TeleClasses or other programs that want to have a web page of learning resources Roberto Gagliardini Jersey , links, class notes and audio, etc., a blog can be a great way to bring together an e-Campus.
If you offer a workshop, coachingconsulting Samir Handanovic Jersey , or even a software solution, and you want to instantly add value to your clients, create a "clientstudent resource page" using a blog. This becomes an environment that the students can play in, study more, and soak up your materials. Your clients continue to benefit from your expertise even though you're not physically there; they do it at their pace Cheap Inter Milan Jerseys , and at little cost to you.
Once again, because blogging makes it easy for you to continually update your website without mucking around with FrontPage or DreamWeaver, you will save time and energy publishing to the Internet.
3.) Just For Fun, And To Be Cool
Let's face it, a large part of the reason you're wondering about blogs is because it sounds cool Fredy Guarin Inter Milan Jersey , right? And new stuff is fun. So why not try it just because? Sometimes it's enough to try something because it stretches you, keeps you limber and awake to possibilities. There's nothing wrong with playing, UNLESS you fool yourself into thinking your business is improving, or you're somehow paying the mortgage while you play.
Rest easy, there's no pressure to get a blog. Not getting one won't negatively impact your bottom line. So although the technology can be entrancing Ivan Perisic Inter Milan Jersey , stay focused... what are you selling to who? How is it going? That said, do stay curious about new technology. Part of your chosen profession as an online biz owner means modeling for others by staying abreast of new things.

Don't be embarrassed when it comes to advertising. Sell yourself and you will succeed. Without advertising, there is no exposure, and without exposure Joao Mario Inter Milan Jersey , there is no business. Don't expect people to just find your site or store and give you business.
Be creative. Money is not the only solution to getting your business off the ground. Take advantage of all the free services and materials to get your name out there. Submit your site to free web directories, print out flyers and put them in people's mail box or drop them off in malls or airports for people to take a glimpse of your business. Make t-shirts with your company logo and contact information and wear them around whenever you go.
I would like to suggest something like, go write on walls for people to look at, but that's called vandalism so please stay away from that.
Just to give you an idea of what you can do with your creativity. Don't just think, go act it out. Everyone has some idea of how to advertise Miranda Inter Milan Jersey , but most of the time they back down because they think it's stupid or embarrassing. Nothing is embarrassing but rather consider it successful if you are able to get your name out to even a single person. That one person may talk about your company with another person, which is called "word of mouth" advertising - most effective and credible advertising method available. They can either talk about your business or make fun of it; either way, more and more people are getting to know what you are doing!
Go out there and show them what you got!
I want to share with you today one of those great moments, when you suddenly experience a life changing burst of clarity. When suddenly the answer you're searching for becomes so obvious ? it's right there in front of you, and all you can say is "Wow! Why didn't I realise that before?"
This was the first of several moments of awakening for me Nemanja Vidic Inter Milan Jersey , following my breakdown in early January 2005. It happened when I heard the following quote, by David Martyn Lloyd-Jones from his book "Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cure":
"Most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself rather than talking to yourself."
Wow!
I'm not sure what effect this just had on you? Perhaps you've heard this idea before. But for me this was life-changing. Although only a part of the puzzle, it was a major part, and it was an exciting moment.
