Blogs!
I personally consider blogs to be the chief cornerstone of all your online marketing efforts.
Back in 2004 I created and released with my brother one of the first ever courses on blogging called How To Blog For Fun & Profits (no longer available). Yep, nearly five years ago and before blogs became the rave that they are today.
I was blogging it up on futures and commodities many years ago. However, blogs today are different and more powerful… and much easier to use.
Blogs today are used for…
- PreSell Pages
- Review Pages
- Salesletters
- Optin Pages
- Membership Sites
- Traffic Funnels
- …and uh, Blogs
Sometimes it freaks people out to hear blogs are used for salesletters, so check this out. This site here http://www.mrmibasictraining.com is an example of one of our sites that is using the WordPress blog platform for both the salesletter and the membership platform.
When you hover you mouse over the About Stephen, FAQS and Support tabs look at the url address bar in the bottom of your browser and you will see the blog page.
Also, scroll down to the bottom of the salesletter and you will see “Powered By Wordpress.”
And, when you click on the “Log In” tab you will be taken to the customize WordPress login.
Blogs are also used effectively in combination with paid advertising like PPC and Banners as well as with video and podcasting.
The three main platforms being used are…
Blogs have become the near perfect platform for both generating traffic AND monetizing that traffic.
Now, while some would argue about the right and wrong way to blog… I would say the worst thing you could do is to not be blogging at all… YIKES! I dare not think such thoughts. 
With that said you can click here to get your Blog Traffic Generation Checklist, where we will cover some of the shallow water basics to get you a nice start to effective blogging.
Even as we cover the basics, I would recommend you integrate your blog with Twitter immediately.
So, if you’re not yet automatically sending your blog post over to Twitter, check out http://pingvine.com which is a free tool that can help you do it in a snap. WordPress also has a nice Twitter plugin that will automatically send your blog post to Twitter.
