Internet Marketing - Blogging and SEO Guide

Influential authority sites are a evidenced way to long term success online, but how about a viral blog? Why more people aren’t taking advantage of this business model, is beyond me every day. Many people agree that what used to be work for them just isn’t these days, this has much to do with their new found popularity. With authority sites being so powerful, the addition of turning it into a viral blog, is absolutely spectacular.

Conferring and co-ordinating with quite a few other promoters online, some of us have been seeing a heavy slump in the bulk of profits being created by many different types of products. Often times, even with the very best cream of the crop products, we have also seen some worsening results, also, list building using such tactics as giving away free or complimentary reports is harder all the time to|and unfortunately, the creation of lists seems to be getting tought using conventional methods is increasing hard to.

In my personal opinion these days, the use of Social Media, the use of having a viral blog, and the innovation of an authority site are among the most sound business models these days. I believe it will redeem the marketers who want to be in this business in 10 or 20 years.

The building of authority sites because of their high profile power is taking off lately. It takes a lot of time and effort to create this type of site, but, the work will pay off, giving you a real asset online. As well, by taking the effort in having your site a viral blog, it’s going to pay big dividends for you. Viral marketing can work out with your blog just about the same as in many other types of viral avenues. When you really think about it, the reason that it is blog is great, because they have a lot of viral capabilities built right in.

Would you agree that’s its going to make your life better making a viral blog out of your authority site? Without question, yes indeed. If you are capable of doing the work on a regular basis, and create a viral blog with your authority site it will be have a life force of it’s own in the future. Certainly, you must realize, that all of the hard work in the beginning will lead to your viral blog being less work down the road. It’s very easy to see that a viral blog is going to bring you a lot of value.

Every single small business owner is an expert in their field. No matter what product or service  you provide, your customers do business with you because you are the expert in that  arena, and if you are not an expert, then they very quickly realize that and go  somewhere else. People trust experts, and when making a decision about a purchase, they look to  the expert to tell them what they need to know and to give them all of the information they need  to make an informed decision.

For a small business owner who is just getting started, however, it may take some time and effort  to establish yourself as an expert in your field. You may know what you need to know,  you may have the information you need, you may do a superb job at what you do, but if your  potential customers do not know that and cannot see it, then why would they choose to do business  with you? You need to, essentially, place yourself out there in front of them and demonstrate  your expertise. You need to build your reputation as an expert in your specific area, which will  build the trust of your customers and potential customers.

An excellent tool to use when establishing yourself as an expert is blogging. A blog is  essentially an online journal. You write about whatever you want, it’s easy and simple to use,  and easy for people to read. This gives you a medium to communicate your expertise, as you can  blog about what you know about your product or service and provide useful information for your  readers.

For example, if your business is selling salt-water fish and aquariums, then you would want to  set up a blog and write about the care of fish, how to set up an aquarium, what you will need to  get started, what kind of fish are good to start out with, what fish and creatures dwell together  well, and so on. Since your business is marine fish, you obviously know a lot about them and have  a lot of information to share, and you can do this in a fun and interesting way, and in whatever  style is you.

Another example, if your business is a car repair service, then you would want to write about not  just car repair, but car maintenance, how to prevent common neglect and accidents, how to care  for your car after repair, how to choose a good mechanic and what to look for in a repair shop.  And the list can go on.

Setting up a blog is easy and inexpensive. There are numerous websites where you can sign up for  free and create your own blog. They already have the tools that you need integrated into the  website, ready for you to use - you can start blogging almost immediately! You can add photos to  your blogs, you can allow readers to post comments, and most blogs have an option for your  readers to subscribe to receive new blog posts via email or rss feeds. Google has a blog service  that can be found at www.blogger.com. Another free one is at www.thoughts.com. For other options,  just do a google search for “free blog” or similar keywords. These sites will give you your own  subdomain, such as www.yourblog.blogger.com, which links directly to your blog. You can then give  this url out to your friends, customers, and include it in your marketing materials to direct  people to your blog.

If you are not sure what to write about, or are afraid you will run out of topics, try some of  these ideas:

Keep a paper and pen handy with you in your purse, by the phone, on the dash of your car, in your  shirt pocket or wherever is convenient for you. You will find that as you go through a normal day, you may get ideas for blog topics. Write these down as you get them, then when you go to blog, you will  already have a list of great topic ideas!

Ask your readers what they would like to know about. Invite them to email you questions. Some  blog sites may have a tool where you can create a quick poll or a short survey. Use these to get  feedback and to find out what your customers are interested in knowing about your subject.

Browse magazines on your subject. This may spark ideas and you may be able to build off what you  read about.

Borrow from other experts. If you run across another blog, or website, or an article in a  magazine that you really like and would like to feature in your blog, then get permission from  the author and post the article on your blog. Most authors will be more than glad to let you use  their article as long as you provide their information and a link back to them.

Use your own experience. Do you have some entertaining stories from your experience in this  field? Do not be afraid to throw in some fun and humor.

Blogging does not have to be tedious and boring, or take up huge amounts of time. If you are not a  natural writer and feel like it’s too much of a job to sit there and write a long post, then  don’t! Keep it short and simple, or whatever is your style. Remember that it is your  blog, so let it reflect your personality.

If you find you simply do not have any time at all to do your blog, then hire someone else to do  it. Perhaps you already have someone working for you who can take it on, or perhaps you know  someone who would be interested. You can give them your topic ideas, or even use a voice recorder  to record the posts for them to type out in the blog. Again, whatever works for you, your style  and your business!

The world of blogging is a wonderful tool to use to keep in touch with your target customers and  to establish trust as an expert. If you take the time to start, you will find it well worth the  while and will learn a lot from it as well! You have information and expertise to share - a blog  is a great medium to use to get it out there!

I feel like a kid on Christmas eve (or morning)… you know… you’re sitting there with all the gifts and you are unwrapping them like crazy and finding the one cool toy after another… That’s how I feel about FirePow! Launching tomorrow, this will be a huge step for mankind. well, maybe not for mankind but for us bloggers anyways!

I’ve been testing out the functions in FirePow as a beta tester for the last few days and it has been a really interesting experience. Not only did it give me a good insight to the software (or; System would be a more fitting description as FirePow is so much more than just a software!) but it has also been a pleasure working with the tech guys, finding bugs etc. It was the first time I ever beta tested a software so it was a nice experience for me…

But what has all this to do with YOU?

… Well, as I wrote, FirePow is launching tomorrow and while this is not for everyone, FirePow IS for ALL serious bloggers and internet marketers. FirePow offers the widest section of auto-installed plug-ins and special features I have ever seen and when you combine this with automatic content adding (drip fed, of course), possibilities to search for - and add - youtube videos, articles from article directories directly within the interface, auto-submitt all new posts to rss- and bookmarking sites, SEO plugins, access to WP-Admin via the same interface and heck of a lot more this can only be described as the first and ONLY true PUSH-BUTTON SYSTEM: It has NEVER been easier!

You Simply Need This! I know I Do…

Andrew has not yet announced the price but I know it will be a recurring membership and that it will not be within reach for everyone. If you are just starting out or just plan to do a few blogs, NEG may still be the system for you, but if you plan to grow an empire of Wordpress blogs this IS the system you need.

Hands Down!

If you decide to join and do it through the links on this site, I will contact you when I see that you have signed up and I will Personally give you 90 Days of Support to help you going!!

Wordpress is still the best way to get ranked and ranked high and FirePow will kill all competition. I just hope Andrew put a cap on how many he give access to FirePow… The less competition the better. Hehe…

See you in the forums!

Best Regards

I’ve been following Andrew Hansens Work for a while now. For instance this blog that you now are reading was made with his superior Niche Empire Generator (NEG) software. However, Next month (may 2008 - After a few weeks delay) a much awaited launch of his sparkling new Firepow Blogging Software will take place

Oh…BOY!! I am really looking forward to it.

I’ve been following the prelaunch of this software for quite a while now and I have to admit that it is going to be killer stuff. This guy really know what he is doing when it comes to niche marketing and blogging!

Of course many people are contemplating, as they do with many products, whether or not this will be the boost they need to unlock the door to online business success. This article will look at what about this product is pure hype, and what might be an actual benefit, in order that you might form an educated opinion about this program.

I might play devils advocate and start with the negative.

Firstly let it be clearly known that no product, software, ebook or membership, is going to make you money - YOU have to do the work YOURSELF - sales letters love to give the impression that a product will do something FOR you but unless you’re willing to MAKE IT happen yourself - nothing will help you.

I expect Firepow to fit this category. Particularly because it’s a software that automates certain tasks, I expect it convey the feeling of doing things for you. So don’t fall for it - whatever it says, remember that YOU will have work to do and if you’re not ready to do that then this product won’t help you.

Phew, now that that’s out of my system, we can continue.

What does seem good about Firepow so far is that it combines the functions of various pieces of software into one ‘machine’ so to speak - which if only for the sake of nothing else but convenience, makes it a good thing. Less programs on my computer, less to think about, and hopefully less to do.

The things it combines are the tasks of (as the sales letter indicates) creating, marketing and managing your niche blog sites.

It does these things with the use of wordpress plugins, and features inside a central software, from where you can view or edit any of your blog sites - another big convenience factor.

The plugins are both a list compiled from existing plugins on the internet and those created specially by Andrew himself.

It’s these fresh meat plugins that seem to be the big selling point as promises have been made of effects like stealing viral traffic, multiplying your content automatically, and giving the site owner the capacity to get in touch with other site owners for extra leverage.

Supposedly it does everything from create your site (content too) to get you traffic and beyond - a hard ask for any program and I guess we’ll have to wait to see whether it delivers.

Most of us know that niche blogging works but just haven’t connected the dots fully yet. If that’s you - Firepow might be worth a look.

I know I am sold for sure!
