You can also use your blog to build a subscriber base for your email (or snail mail) newsletter. Or, you your blog up to be an online newsletter, posting articles as well as blog entries. With email spam so rampant, this isrepparttar best way to go. The search engine spiders will love you. Your readers will love you. Everybody will be happy.

Reason #3: The more your blog grows in popularity,repparttar 106005 more inbound links you'll get from other bloggers/readers. If you link your website to your blog, this will help boostrepparttar 106006 search engine ranking for your website, which will give more readers torepparttar 106007 opportunity to buy your book.

How long will it take to build your blog's popularity? I've read that it takes about a year to build a solid readership. That'srepparttar 106008 average. Your blog may take off . . . or fail altogether.

Don't start a blog withrepparttar 106009 sole purpose of sell, sell, sell. That'srepparttar 106010 guaranteed failure formula. Another guarantee for failure is spending too much time blogging and not enough time writing your book. I spend an average of five hours per week on my blogs, dividing my time between writing/posting content and promoting it.

The key to a blog's success is content, useful and valuable content that your readers will benefit from. Allow them to get to know you, and takerepparttar 106011 time to get to know them. Find out what they want and give it to them. That'srepparttar 106012 success formula.

So how are all those links coming to my site?

Simple. With each article you write, you haverepparttar opportunity to put a resource box atrepparttar 106004 end. This short 'Signature File' is usually around 5 lines and is where you introduce yourself and tellrepparttar 106005 readers about what you are selling and how they can get more information. It can contain a link to your web site and an email address. This is your advertisement, and it's free.

What'srepparttar 106006 matter, don't think you can write about anything interesting?

I didn't think I could either. Then I got to thinking about what I have been doing online forrepparttar 106007 past few years. I thought about some ofrepparttar 106008 problems I had and how I fixed them and how I usedrepparttar 106009 internet to make money (i.e. this article). I also decided that other people may want to know about these things and presto, a writer was born!

Thousands of people are joiningrepparttar 106010 internet every day and are looking for information on particular topics. Some may be looking for ways to make money, others may be looking for recipes, or articles on pets, or just about anything. The possibilities are endless. If you have a favorite hobby, share it with others by writing articles about it.

If you're not sure about a topic, do a little research onrepparttar 106011 internet. Read other articles, check websites and then condense what you learn into an article.

You don't need to be an experienced writer, just write like you would talk to someone about your topic. Try to be grammatically correct and check your spelling, or have someone check it for you.

Don't try to write it all at once either. If you're not sure what you are going to say, simply jot down whatever comes to mind then go back and fill inrepparttar 106012 paragraphs. Stop for awhile and then come back to it. You'll be surprised at how much you can remember about your topic when you are just walking around, then you can come back and type it out.

Try to keep your articles between 500 and 1000 words. Keep your paragraphs short as this makes for easier reading. If you don't like writing paragraphs, you could make it a 'Tips' article, for instance, "7 Tips For ***", or "10 Good Reasons To ***".

Writing articles can give you free promotion and atrepparttar 106013 same time develop a favourable reputation for you onrepparttar 106014 Internet.
