“Why Should I Blog? I Simply Don’t Get It”

This post on a popular discussion forum set me thinking – and I came up with 12 reasons you should blog.

Read them and get started on your blog. Or better still, go get your blog up and running and THEN come back and read this :)

#1 – You Do Not Need To Know HTML

One of the biggest hurdles many hopeful website creators face is they don’t know to design a webpage. Blogs overcome this – all you do is type into a box, and the blog software automatically converts it into a webpage and publishes it on the World Wide Web for anyone to see.

#2 – You Are ‘Forced’ To Keep Your Content Fresh

Blogs are essentially online diaries. It doesn’t make sense to write in your diary

1. Ping weblogs.com and other search engines. When you ping a blog, you are telling the search engine that you have updated your blog content and that your listing should be refreshed. Weblogs.com is a blog update notification service that many individuals and services use to track blog changes. Pinging your blogs to the search engines is the fastest way to get the search engine robots to visit your blog. Also, many people browse these sites to find something new.

2. Submit your blog address to blog search sites and directories. You can submit your blog’s url to websites such as Technorati, Daypop, Blogdex and Popdex.

3. If you have some cash you can promote your blog using pay per click search engines such as Yahoo Search and Google Adwords.

4. Set your blog to display RSS feeds and submit your blog’s RSS feed

10 Tips for Bloggers

Tips for creating a blog.There are no hard and fast rules on how to blog. Having said that, bloggers will likely increase their exposure by following some simple blog guidelines.

1.) Stay on topic.Opinions are generally accepted but the content of the items in the blog should all relate to a general theme. Unless you have an uncanny knack for wit, humor or cynicism, the majority of your readers will be interested in the content that relates to a specific defined theme or loosely defined area of interest. Most readers won’t care that you eat Cheerios for breakfast.

They may, however, be interested in the fact that vinegar takes out stains and that toilet paper rolls make great wreaths. Define a topic and stick to it. This will ensure that you create a loyal following of interested readers.

2.) Stay informative.If you are attempting to create

10 Benefits of Being a Blogger
Copyright © Nicholas Dixon

I have been a blogger since September 2004 but only began to take it seriously this year. My blogging journey began when I stumbled upon a company owned by Google named Blogger.com that offered free tools to build a website.

In fact Blogger provides you with free several templates which you can customize in addition to a domain name hosted on their server. You can host your blog on your domain if you like to. Here are some benefits I found while blogging:

1) Easy to manage. A blog can be set up by even a novice in no time. All you have to do is post and publish. Blogging can get as simple as that or even more complex.

2) Easy to update. Blogs can be updated weekly or daily instead of sometimes monthly for a static website.

As you know it can be very expensive to attract new
customers. You can cut down on those expenses
by “upselling” to those new customers. For example,
let’s say you’re selling a computer with a 15″ monitor
for $1200. You tell people they can upgrade to a 17″
monitor for only $200 more. That’s upselling! Your
goal is to get more money out of the first sale. Below
are ten upselling strategies you can use to increase
your profits.

1. Deluxe Upsell-You could sell a basic product and
tell people for a little more money they can receive the
deluxe edition.

2. Money Upsell-You could offer people the rights
to sell the product they are buying from your business.
You could charge an extra $30 dollars to get the
reproduction rights.

3. Discount Upsell-If you’re selling a product people
may order again in

10 Things You Should Know Before You Bid On A
Business Product From An Online Auction
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-19755

1. Know the value of the product before you bid. If
the product is brand new, check to see what price
retailers are charging for it. If the product is used or
reconditioned, you will want to pay way less than the
retail value.

2. If the product’s description or picture isn’t detailed
enough for you, contact the merchant to get more
information before you bid. You don’t want to take a
chance to waste your hard earned money.

3. Know the highest price you will bid for the product
and stick with it. Don’t get caught up in a bidding war;
you may end up paying more than the product’s worth.
Don’t forget to add in the shipping price with your bid.
