Dave Dee's Make Money With Your Blog

Businesses of all sizes now use blogs as valued and valid channels of communication. You are going to uncover in a moment, why, if you do not have a business blog, you are missing out on vital information being mentioned about you and your business. This is information from customers, prospects and your competition too. That is information worth knowing you will agree.

Imagine being able to know EXACTLY what people feel about your products and services as they say it. You can, and blogging gives you the power to do it easily and ethically. This report reveals the TRUTH about blogging , WHAT exactly you should be doing with your own business blog and WHY.

The temptation when you first access a report like this is to scan it quickly and then set it aside. Sure, you intend to come back to it later but how often does that really happen?

That's why I strongly urge you to read this report immediately. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or even advanced at using the Internet to market your business, I can guarantee that at least one of my blogging secrets will strike a chord with you...and result in you making more money.

The word ‘blog’ is a short form of the word ‘Web log’. At one point in time blogs were considered to be nothing more than simple diaries maintained on the internet. That was no too long ago but now blogs have evolved into one of the most powerful communication tools for businesses.

The focus of a blog can go from a single subject to regular daily musings and very often include references and facts in addition to personal opinions that might be stated.

At the top of a blog you will normally see the most recent entry, i.e. what has most recently been written. This entry is called a ‘blog post’ or just a ‘post’.

Previous posts are either archived or listed below the most current one. You will find that many blogs do allow visitors and readers to leave comments on individual posts. The conversations that take place (online) from these comments are the true power behind blogs and blogging for business profits.

For instance, because blogs are updated quite frequently (daily, weekly etc), anyone who is interested in your posts will return to your business blog on a regular basis.

This is something that will make your business blog different to your business website which, while it (your business website) can be highly information and serve a good purpose, it does not change much in comparison.

Unless your current business website is a ‘Direct Response Website’ it probably gives people very little motivation to take action or to return to it again once they leave. Remember this:

“The power of blogs is far greater than the number of people who read an individual post”

When you set up a Business Blogs you want to link other blogs. What this means is that anything mentioned about your business, the products and services you offer is potentially going to be seen and read by an incredibly large number of people.

Information spreading creates a buzz and is very similar in many ways to the powerful word-of-mouth marketing method.

Business blogging has the awesome potential to get to an audience that you could not reach using traditional marketing vehicles alone.

Blogs are here to stay and not only that, they are going to have an impact on your business whether you have one or not. Having your own Business Blog means you can control more of the information that is spread about you and your business online and offline as well.

Blogging is a powerful and cost-effective marketing system for your business. Any business in the area that has the foresight to get in early gets a head start on the competition and will be among those that achieve celebrity status, garner attention, generate buzz and attention from media.

Here’s a fact that will interest you. There are over 100,000,000 (One Hundred Million) blogs currently available around the world.

With this number of conversations taking place, the reality is that some of these online conversations include discussions about the products and services that you offer.

One thing I can guarantee you is that issues important in your industry are being discussed online via blogs and your prospects and customers are talking among themselves.

Imagine how good you will feel when you have the ability to eavesdrop on such conversations. You can, and that’s exactly what Business Blogging is going to allow you to do once you get started now.

The top benefit of Business Bogging for your business is that it gives you an easy and very low-cost way for you to communicate regularly and directly with your current customers and clients and also future customers and clients i.e. your prospects.

The best way you will use Business Blogging is to extend your brand and gain valuable feedback about your services and your products.

Business Blogging can be a lot more effective than high-priced ‘focus groups’ if you want to gather real-world opinions and feedback on products you offer.

It is more effective because it is a quick and easy way for you to allow people to provide you with feedback throughout the life cycle of any of your products or services.

Not too long ago, small and business marketing was mainly a one-way communication from businesses to your customers. The majority of marketing messages were delivered via radio, TV, billboards, in print, direct marketing channels etc. The goal was to ‘hit’ your target customers using one or more of these channels.

The internet has changed the way you are expected to interact with your target audience

If there is one thing that the internet has done it is to radically change the marketing experience by totally eliminating where a person is based as a limiting factor for doing business with you.

That’s a good thing but you need to capitalize on this or it means squat for your business profits.

Luckily for you as a business, the Internet has drastically increased the number of potential clients and customers your business can reach through your marketing efforts.

What your prospects can search for online is practically limitless and how you can reach them and satisfy their needs with your products and services is also practically limitless.

You are going to use Business Blogging to initiate conversations with your prospects, customers and clients. Business Blogging conversations are so powerful tat they can even take place between:

This is why Business Blogging is a marketing investment you cannot afford to ignore. If you do, before you know it, your competition will have ‘blogged’ their way into the hearts and wallets of your prospects and current customers.

Something that is probably the most rewarding by-product of this 2-way conversation you will have with your prospects and customers through your business blog is that you and your customers begin to better understand each another.

When you gain a better understanding of your prospects and customers you are better positioned to more efficiently and more effectively market to them.

End results are that you will be able to immediately lower your marketing costs, turn them into investments and increase your bottom line profits – All with measurable results.

By now you are beginning to appreciate the benefits of Business Bogging for your business.

These are the reasons that are proven to lower marketing costs, increase your visibility and draw more profits literally on auto-pilot.

Whatever reason finally motivates you to start your own profitable Business Blog it is going to fit into one of the following categories. Don’t be surprised if your Business Blog combines a number of these elements, that’s the nature of Business Blogging!

Nowadays, quite a few businesses take part in what’s known as ‘Thought-Leadership’ activities. To become a Thought-Leader you leverage your expertise. You can share that expertise through your Business Blog.

People follow Leaders. You want to be seen as a Leader. Leaders make more sales. You want to make more sales.

You could create information for your Business Blog that can be used in newsletters in your industry. You could even create special reports or White papers as they are popularly known on subjects of interest in your industry (Secret: I can help you create your special reports and white papers).

Blogging gives you a powerful and cost-effective way for you to position yourself as a Leader irrespective of the size of your business. Being a ‘Thought-Leader’ is highly profitable.

INSIDER BUSINESS BLOGGING TIP: Say complimentary things about your competitors and also provide links to them. Crazy as it sounds, this is going to place YOU as an AUTHORITY above your competition.

One fact about using the internet to grow your business is the realization that your business does not exist in a vacuum. When you point to a competitor’s success, you demonstrate to your customers that you are aware of what is happening elsewhere. You also demonstrate that you are willing to admit when another business does something notable.

The internet means that your ‘ideal’ customer is going to continue to change.

We have become a society where products are designed to meet the needs of a wide range of customers rather than suit the needs of customers individually.

In years gone by, customers used to regularly engage and work with makers of products. However, these days, many customers buy their goods from “big box” stores (you know the ones I am referring to even though we’re not naming names!).

If they do not use “big box’ stores they make use of some other method that denies them the opportunity to discuss their wants or personal needs with the maker of the product.

“Choose Whatever Color You Want…Provided It’s From Our Available Range”

I wanted to buy a product some time ago and was invited to choose whatever I needed, whatever color I wanted…provided it is available within the color range available.

In other words, unless I purchased from a custom source, I had no say whatsoever.

Surveys reveal that this is one of the top frustrations customers have and because customers are no longer able to influence the products and services that they buy, many believe that businesses are only interested in their money and not in what they really want.

They say that “Perception is Reality!” and so it matters little whether this is actually true or not…it is the view that the majority of customers have.

Your business blog provides a direct link between you and your prospects and customers. Secondly it is going to allow you to foster communication that will attract business

Use your business blog to “reach out and touch” your prospects and your customers in a way that other marketing mediums just are not able to do.

Due to their very informal nature, blogs have instantly become one of the top and most effective communication tools for savvy businesses of all sizes.

Use your business blog to listen to your prospects, customers and clients. Truly engage them and your customer satisfaction is guaranteed to sky-rocket. You will also turn your existing customers into your business champions … or FREE!

As soon as readers start to spread the word about your business and your Business Blog they naturally go on to do their best to promote you when they come into contact with other people, on the internet and also as they go about their everyday business.

You see, with Business Blogging you have the same voice as businesses that spend millions of dollars on marketing and advertising.

…introducing Business Blogging into your marketing arsenal instantly gives you a unique opportunity to ‘connect’ and talk to your prospects, the ones who happen to be online and reading. In return, they can also talk to you.

When you dare to you give your customers the power to embrace you and your brand, they are going to spread your brand message far and wide. Use Business Blogging to make you brand ‘go viral’.

Blogging fuels word-of-mouth marketing and the result is like having unpaid sales-people working for you, spreading the word about their experiences with your business. When they do, they positively extend your brand in a way that would never have otherwise been possible.

Look around you and see exactly just how customers are currently making use of the internet to research businesses just like yours. Observe how they also research the products and services BEFORE spend their money.

You probably already know that most people do NOT trust large companies. There is a good reason for this. All you need to do is look at the news headlines.

Every Customer wants to feel connected with the businesses they spend money with and rightly too. They are spending their hard-earned cash. Your Business Blog can help you establish a strong connection with your business in the community.

Because your Business Blog allows you to communicate with your community and customers more regularly than any other medium allows, it is going to be a great way to build trust.

Use your business blog to get closer to your customers by showing them the real people doing real jobs inside your business and listen closely to what customers and others are thinking about your business.

If Yes, then Business Blogging is a great system to help you gather real-world knowledge from potential users of your products or services.

Realize this. It does not matter whether you are paying attention or not, there are folks out there talking about you and your business. What you need to know is exactly what they are saying.

Before blogs came on to the scene, those discussions took place via word-of-mouth. Now that blogs exist, it’s so much easier for customers to spread the word about your business. Hopefully they are spreading ‘good news’ about you...but how do you know if you are not where the information is being shared?

The internet and blogs offer your business valuable information regarding what’s being said by your competitors, customers and others.

“If you can honestly say that you are 100% confident about all these then you probably do not need a Business Building Blog. If you do not know what is being said, by whom, when and where then what you don’t know could certainly come back to hurt you.”

As a business, if you are not listening to what’s being mentioned about your business now, you are headed for problems because people are talking about you all the same.

Probably not, however, every business had better take notice of what’s being said by others about them online.

When you have your own Business Blog, people will actually tell you right there on your blog how they feel and this gives you a great chance to ‘hear it from the horse’s mouth’.

Google and the other search engines like Yahoo, MSN etc regularly scan the internet looking for things that have changed. They use the information they find to decide the rank (importance) to give all websites.

Anything that is added to your business blog such as posts and comments get recognized by search engine ‘spiders’ and is treated as new information. When this happens, it can increase the rank given to your business website. Something known as ‘inbound linking’ can also go a long way to help improve your ranking in search engines too.

INSIDER SECRET: Blogs are proven to rank a lot better than basic websites with Google and the other search engines. So having your own Business Blog gives you a big advantage over your competition. Most of them don’t even know where to start when it comes to Business Blogging for big profits.

If you blog about dental hygiene products for the dental industry, and your competitors do not have a business blog, its going to be YOUR writings and YOUR thoughts on the industry in your blog that are going to be found and presented to people when they perform Google (and other search engine) searches.

In a nutshell, the plan is to help you use your Business Blog to establish your business and you as an expert in this area, as opposed to your competition who probably only has a website that does not get updated and is probably not a ‘Direct Response Website’

Google and the other top search engines give preference to frequently updated content. This is why keeping your Business Blog updated gives you a big advantage.

As a business you may not have the same ‘insider relationships’ with the media that large organizations have. When you have your own Business Blog you have a powerful avenue you will use to announce things going on in your business.

“Many businesses who never thought they could are now receiving coverage in traditional and mainstream media because reporters read blogs and blogs are now becoming valuable sources of information.”

Give yourself more and easy access to and national reporters via your business blog – My Message To You….

You already have everything you need to know to start your Business Blog but knowledge is not power, action is power. The only way you are going to get results is to put into action what you learned in this report. There are two ways to get this done"
