Blogging Power

If you are not blogging (writing in your blog) then now is the time to start!

What is a blog?

The word comes from the combination of the words "web" and "log."

It looks like a Website but it is designed to write it like a diary of your thoughts or a log book of events.

Advantages:

Blogs are FREE! (Please understand if it's free then you really don't own it.)
The more popular Blogs sites are Blogger.com and WordPress.com

They are easy to create and maintain and they can work like a Website.

It is a great way to create a presence on the Internet. The search engines recognize a blog just like a Website. If you want someone to find you and if you want to promote yourself for FREE then I highly recommend you start working on your blogs. If you own a Website then link your blogs to your Website and they will attract more traffic to your Website.

Blog sites will teach you how to create your blog. You can find videos on youtube.com explaining in detail how to build your first blog and how to use it to market your and/or your services.

What you are looking now is a blog and you will find links to some of my others blogs posted to the right in my profile.

Start now. Don't let fear keep you from doing it. You can't really mess it up.

The only word of caution I would make.....be careful what you write in your blog after all the whole Internet world will have access to it but that is what you want, right?

Happy blogging,

Steve Hart
