Blogging is IN!

And it's here to stay!

Blogs are easy to set up and use.

And you can create a good blog by writing out thoughts that roam in your mind and presto - and you'll be blogging like a pro before you even know it!

Here are 7 essential habits you should develop if you want to be a highly effective blogger:

Blogging Habit #1 - Determine Your Purpose

Highly effective bloggers blog with a clear purpose in mind.

So decide on a purpose for your blog.

Blogs exist to filter information, organize business information, share news and profitable content, establish professional identities and bonds, discuss social issues, or muse about life in general.

Beginning in a focused manner is one of best ways to start a blog.

And knowing your 'mission' will help you accomplish more with your blog.

Blogging Habit #2 - Define Your Audience

Highly effective bloggers understand their target audience.

Their wants, needs, likes and dislikes, and possible reactions and responses.

So always reflect on your anticipated audience.

You conduct yourself differently with friends than you will with professional associates, strangers, customers, or family members.

Knowing who you're writing to beforehand, allows you to adopt acceptable and appropriate tones in your blog journals.

Blogging Habit #3 - Blog With Passion

Blog with passion!

And best way to achieve this is to write on a topic you are most passionate about.

And more you're passionate about a topic, more it'll show in your writing.

Remember, a blog is place for voicing opinions - Your Opinions!

So, engage your readers with a passion and make your writing interesting.

Blogging Habit #4 - Blog Frequently

Highly effective bloggers understand importance of blogging frequently.

I see affiliates complain all time about a lack of traffic and how they think “it’s too hard” to get qualified traffic, etc… But then when I ask them one simple question, 98% of them never answer correctly.

I ask them “Are you submitting articles?” They answer “no…”

Well, how can you run an affiliate business if you’re not using one of best forms of traffic generators in business! Submitting articles is one of best ways to guarantee yourself mass amounts of traffic that lasts forever!

Here are 10 reasons off of top of my head of why you should be submitting articles…

1. You'll brand your web site, business and yourself by submitting articles to e-zines. You could include your name, business name, your credentials, web site address and e-mail address in your resource box.

2. You will become known as an expert on topics you write about. This will give you and your business extra credibility which will help you compete against your competition. 3. Your article might also be placed on publisher's home page. If they publish each issue on their home page this will give you some extra exposure.
