Blogging in the last couple of years has increased tremendously in popularity for both the writer and the reading audience. The fact more people are writing blogs and more people are reading the information provided on those blogs makes this medium of promoting so much more attractive to the average marketer. If you are a web site owner, then a blog accompanying your web site makes a lot of sense. You can point links from your blog to your business opportunity as well as pointing your business opportunity to your blogs. This is an excellent way to promote any kind of business you may be involved with now or in the future.

There are numerous article directories you can post to and can be extremely powerful marketing tools if used correctly. If you own a niche site that sells a unique widget for example your blog or articles will become an excellent generator for new prospects. Having an affiliate program can generate a nice income as well. If you don't already have an affiliate offering on your site you will be amazed at how lucrative it can be for other businesses to promote your site if you pay them a decent commission. At least make an affiliate option available regarding your opportunity.

Many businesses sell their products or services strictly through blogs by pointing links back to their main web site. Use a bit of imagination here and come up with some different methods you can use in your marketing endeavors. Many of the popular blogs you can post to actually update their content several times per day which makes posting your writing with such directories instantly visible content on the web.

If you don't have the time, energy or just don't like to write then you might consider outsourcing that part of your business to an outside source. There are numerous writers you can find online that make a very good living just writing articles and blogs for other people. I personally like to write my own conten, since I am more familiar with what my business is all about, much better than anyone else who I could outsource to.

A good re-writing program is worth its weight in gold if managed correctly. You can spin one article into literally hundreds of unique articles that can be posted in dozens of article directories without fearing any spamming or duplicate content penalties.

There are differences of opinion on how many characters a blog should have and what may be the differences between articles and blogs. To my knowledge there are no hard fast rules on what makes the difference, so common sense here will go a long way. If you happen to write a long article you could easily divide your long article into several parts and then post it as a continuing blog. In your title you would merely show it as Part 1, Part 2 and so forth. This approach may give you a better outcome anyway since you can put links in your resource box and generate back links in each of the different segments you publish.

If you choose to combine your web site and your blogging activities, make sure you focus your writings on your web sites subject matter. It doesn't make any sense to have your web site selling computer software for example and your blogs talking about your favorite sports team. For the most effective results here make your site and blogs a continuation and an extension of your business opportunity in every case.

One word of advice here is to never mix politics, sports or religion in your writings. There is nothing that will turn your potential client off quicker than posting a comment or remark about something they are truly passionate about especially if your comments conflict with their feelings or beliefs. Keep your writings for blogs or articles laser focused on what your business opportunity is all about.

There are numerous blogging platforms you can find on the internet. I personally find that Word Press.org is an excellent choice and is the one I have personally had the best overall results with. Get informed about blogging before you make a final choice and then pursue your new found marketing tools with vigor. It will pay off handsomely in the long run.
