Why a Blog Is Important to Your Online Business

Why a Blog Is Important to Your Online Business

By Juan A Rademacher 

Online marketing, including affiliate marketing works best when supported by a blog.This is because a blog is the foundation of your online business. It is the vehicle you use to establish your name, your authority, your reputation. If you've already heard this before, I apologize for the repetition, but it bears mentioning again because so many beginners miss this important point. You have to have a blog! People buy from those they "know, like and trust." It's a proven fact that buyers need to see your name and your offer at least 7 times before they will even think about buying from you. 

That's what a blog does for you. It let's people get to know you and your business. They get to learn from the content you publish.Furthermore, you will likely waste your money with paid advertising if you don't yet have a website which includes a blog with lots of content.

Do you know how super affiliates operate?

They have a website, and a blog where they publish helpful content to teach their audience about the niche they are in, and the products they promote. They provide quality, helpful content. And along with all the helpful content, they also have ads for related products in their blogs. Yet these guys are the top super affiliates promoting someone else's products! You have to produce and post original content to your blog on a scheduled basis, daily if possible. You've no doubt seen claims that, with the right system or software, which they of course provide, you can make money online fast.

Can everybody do this?

Not likely. What the creators of these products fail to tell you is that the sales they've made promoting their fabulous new "systems or software" were made to their email list. Therefore, if you don't already have a large list it's very unlikely you can duplicate their success. I should also mention that many people unsubscribe from these lists as they get hammered with constant hyped up promotions. So the list owner must constantly and aggressively promote to get new subscribers to their lists. This is not the way to build a long-term, sustainable business.

Online business is a long-term proposition, and unfortunately, there is no "Easy Button."If you make a daily post to your blog, at the end of 90 days you will have a blog loaded with quality content.Expert bloggers claim that it takes 90 to 100 quality posts for a blog to gain traction, to become effective in supporting your business.It takes effort to get online sales results. But you can do it. Just focus on your long-term vision. Success will follow.

My obsession is helping beginners get results online. That's because after years of frustration trying to make a steady income online, I've discovered a few basic, time-tested "secrets" the gurus have used for a long time, that practically guarantee success.Learn more by visiting my website:
