In several previous posts, I talked about the importance of having an MLM blog to brand yourself and give value to your prospects.
In this video I’ll show you several communities you should join once you get your blog going, along with some other basics on “getting known” by others in the blogging community and making it easier for others to follow your MLM blog.
Having an MLM Blog is very important in order to get content out to your Network Marketing audience.
Equally important is the ability brand yourself as an expert in MLM.
An additional advantage in having an MLM blog is that search engines love blogs, in particular wordpress blogs. When a search engines “crawls” a blog, it can list your MLM blog in the search engines, and this is a great way to get free traffic to your website.
Don’t worry about not knowing about what to post on your MLM blog, the big thing is just getting out there and post SOMETHING. Once you get into the habit of posting content to your blog, the topics will naturally flow.
One great way to think of content is to post stuff about what you are learning, and some of the services you have used and some reviews of it. Inform other people while you learn!
Last week I talked about how Onlywire.com can bookmark 20 of the top social bookmarking sites at once. Go here for the last post.
What I did not include was what I consider are the two best social bookmarking sites out there: Digg.com and StumbleUpon.com
What makes these bookmarking sites great is their popularity and traffic. If a visitor happens to go to your site and either Digg you or Stumble you, and that person is connected on those sites with quite a few others….watch out. You will get a flood of traffic to your post.
The example I will use was given by John Reese, author of Traffic Secrets and Traffic Secrets 2.0. He said that one of his blog posts happened to be “Dug” enough so that he made it to the front page for the day on Digg…..and it generated an extra 200,000 visitors to his site!! Wow!
The key is to produce good content on your posts and people will use these services to share your posts with their friends.
Join me on StumbleUpon.com and Digg.com, I’d like to see what YOUR favorite sites, blogs and posts are. My name is kurthenninger on both services. Look me up and add me as a friend!
Ok, by now you know I am a fan of having a network markering blog as an essential part of your network marketing business. It can drive traffic and establish an essential relationship with you and your prospective clients…..IF you give them something of value.
One other popular way to generate traffic to your blog is to “Ping” your blog. Pinging essentially is a way to tell certain websites, like Technorati, that you have updated your blog, and for them to come and check your blog out and look for updated content.
One great service I use is Ping-o-matic. It notifies 20 different major sites like Yahoo, Technorati, etc that you have updated your blog and does so automatically.
Now, here is the trick I use. I use Feedburner to syndicate my RSS feed out there, and when you use Feedburner, click on the “Publicize” tab, then click on the “PingShot” button. Activate Pingshot!!!!
What” Pingshot” will do is automatically notify Ping-o-matic that you have updated your site, which in turn will notify all of those other sites PLUS Google Blog and 5 other services of your choice. TOO EASY!!! All you gotta do is sign-up for Feedburner, subscribe to all the sites that Ping-o-matic pings to, and then let Feedburner do all the work.
Its a great way to let the world know that you have updated your blog and to drive additional traffic to your network marketing blog.
