Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal (or type of newsletter) that is updated often and intended for the general public. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site. If you have a product, service, brand, or cause that you want to inexpensively market online to the world then you need to look into starting a blog. Blogs are ideal marketing vehicles. You can use them to share your expertise, grow market share, spread your message, and establish yourself as an expert in your field, for virtually no cost. A blog helps your site to rank higher on search engines. This is because Google and the other search engines use blogs because of their constantly updated content. Tiny, one person, part-time businesses use blogs, as well as companies like Microsoft, Apple, Nike, General Motors, Amazon.com, and Yahoo. Most Fortune 1000 firms are using responsible blogs and blog marketing, as well as advertising on blogs for one simple reason—it works! Blogs generate profits immediately and consistently. In addition, many blogs earn additional revenue by selling advertising space on their niche targeted blog. The Secret Power of Blogging teaches you how to create top-notch blog marketing campaigns, build stronger customer relationships, generate new qualified leads and sales, and learn insider secrets to build your readership list quickly.
