Blog is the Amazing New Internet Marketing Tool

Here are 5 reasons why you should use blogging as an Internet marketing tool.

1.Blogging is very simple. The easiest way to get your articles,ads,opinions on the net is through blogging. No skills are required� an average person can read and type or at least click a mouse. It�s like having a virtual paper and you just write your ideas, experiences, new products, and hope that the truth behind your articles comes out and entice your reader to also try your products. If you have a PC and an Internet connection (doesn�t? utilise net cafe) then you can blog and advertise.

2. Blogging is authentic. In this day and age where advertising saturate our lives, we question the credibility of promoters� claims. However, in blogs,persons can share their real-life experiences and opinions, unscathed by paid advertising. Reading blogs about first-hand product use is like talking to people about their first-hand experience. You definitely want to buy a tried and tested product.

3. Blogging is free. Because blogging is yet to be proven as a mainstream online advertising media, most sites see it as something to augment current marketing tools and thus offer it for free. Any opportunity for free webtime is definitely a bonus especially to businesses that are starting up. Paid blog pages can generate more income for your seriously growing business.

4. Blogging builds credibility. As you get more and more into writing your experiences on a particular product or industry or your topic or anything under the sky, your readers will realize that they can depend on your posts for their own information needs. As such, you become an expert on it; as a consequence, more readers visit your site and more bloggers link to your blogs. As companies and professional organizations notice the growth of your readership base, they may soon contact you for advertising on your blog page or make you an affiliate (read more articles at:www.earn-2.com ), which pays money for every referral generated from your blog site or display pay per click ads on your blog.

5. Blogging builds your market. Unless you are a Hollywood star, chances are, only your Mom reads your posts. Mom has a lot of friends, so she lets her friends know how interesting your blog site is. But you need not depend on Mom to increase your readership base. Look into the following ways to build your market through blogging:

*By using e-mail. Now-a-days blogging is overcoming the e-mail popularity in easily and effectively reaching and expanding the market. In this age of fast access, logging in and downloading e-mail is simply taking longer than clicking into a blog site. Let them explore your site by using a simple e-mail message as teaser to your blog site. If your e-mail is on an entirely different subject, use your e-mail signature with a link to the site.

*By using subscription. A simple way to get your readers e-mail is give them an opportunity to subscribe to your blogsite. Keep some special information for your subscribers to entice readers to subscribe and give their e-mail address. Just be responsible in using their e-mail address, as the last thing you want is a comment on your blog that you are a spammer.

*By knowing your readers. Conduct a simple survey from your readers to understand their profile and advertising preferences. Ask your blog visitors to feedback on the post, an ad link or a trial that you shared. In this way, it is like interviewing your readers without the commitment and intrusion of a face-to-face interview.

*By joining a blog network �A network of blogs are a collection of blog sites share the same industry, interest, readership base, payment mode, etc. Visitors find credibility and convenience in clicking one link to several real bloggers about a single subject. Clearly, more bloggers are better than one.

*By using the RSS. RSS(Really Simple Syndication) is the fastest growing on the Internet today. Having RSS feeds for your blog is definitely another means of generating awareness and publicity to your readership base. Having many feeds can increase interest to your blog site.

Your business can boost effectively by using blogging as an Internet marketing tool.
