As a Network Marketer, Are You Blogging?

Every network marketer needs to start a blog in the 21st century. You may fight against the uprising of technology, but in reality, if you do not have a website, you are fighting a losing battle against the web onslaught.

To stand a winning chance, a network marketer must start a blog, but not just any blog, a proper blog that is presentable, easy to navigate, and one that provides heaps of value.
To begin with, you must use a self-hosted wordpress blog and host it on your own hosting space. You can get cheap hosting in places like Hostgator.

Next, you need to register your own domain name. A domain name like John Smith or Jackson Williams DOT COM is a good way to get started because in network marketing, you are marketing YOURSELF. Not just your network marketing company. You don’t need a website that talks like an Amway encyclopedia because Wikipedia or their MAIN Amway website has it covered. You don’t need to create another info site about it but you should create a blog that sells you as a marketer. That is the first and most important tip for any network marketing blogger.

You must also be prepared to post 2 to 3 articles a week. Of course, you do not need to post long essays like the ones you do in primary or grade school. People who go online want information fast and instant, just like instant noodles. Short posts are good and when you spread out your long stories into short posts, it creates the habit that keeps your readers or blog subscribers coming back for more and more.

When selecting a good blog theme, you must remember to have a theme that allows easy scrolling and navigation. A good tip is to select a blog theme that lines the sidebar on the right of the theme. One very good reason why it is advisable is because Google tends to scan the blog’s content from left to right. Blog posts are all indexed separately. Collectively, each of your blog posts can get traffic cumulatively exceeding the main home page. But if your side bar is on your left, Google will wind up reading the SAME content (the sidebar) over and over again since it scans from left to right. And duplicate content is bad news.

Lastly, if you are not good at writing, you can either outsource simple blog updates to a ghostwriter or ghost ‘blogger’ and you can use pictures, videos, podcast or other media to get your message across. The key is not to be paralyzed by analysis. Just get it started and you are good to go.
