Blogging for Newbies

Bogging, everyone’s heard of it. The Internet pro’s tell us it is important, but why? Well first let’s start with what Blogging is. Blogging is considered a personal online journal. You select a subject that interests you and is relevant to your online business. You make daily entries on your Blog that will be of interest to web users searching for information on your particular subject.

For example, my URL is www.robertallenonline.net Obviously by the title my website has to do with best selling author Robert G. Allen i.e.: Multiple Streams of Income. Therefore I have created a webblog http://teamrobertallen.blogspot.com/ Daily I post points of interest about Robert Allen.

What this accomplishes is the search engines visit my blog to crawl the new content. They also follow the links from my Blog pointing to other sites. Some of these links point to my sites and some point to sites of partners. This helps the search engine rankings of these sites immensely.

How do you start your own Blog? There are many places you can start your blog. You can do a search on Blogs and get many listings. I personally use www.Blogger.com. The first reason it’s free. The second and biggest reason is Google owns it. That means Google will index web pages hosted on their servers often and fast.

My experience has been Blogger.com is very user friendly. The Blog is easy to create and easy to update. Both things newbies really appreciate. You can also set up to run Google Ad Sense ads on your blog. Which will create an additional stream of income to you.

Armed with this information – take the leap and start Blogging today. There is always going to be ways to optimize and produce more from your Blog. You’ll get there, just take your first step. To quote Dennis Waitley, “By the inch it’s a cinch, by the yard it’s hard”. Happy Blogging.
