How do I blog? Why do I blog? Arg...

I meet so many newbie internet entrepreneurs eager to blog because they hear it is the thing to do, but they have no clue why the should be doing it. So many folks start a blog, put up a post or two, and then give up because they just don’t get it. The wonderful world of blogging. It’s so easy to do and yet it’s so hard for many people to understand how to blog and why a blog is good for their business. So as a blogger I figure that I should fill you in on the hows and whys of blogging.

Blogs started off as simple online journals in which folks shared their thoughts with friends and family. As more people began reading the blogs of strangers and trusting them as experts or noteworthy writers, blogs began a space to share reviews and promote products and services. Once that happened, entrepreneurs got wind of the marketing potential of blogs and Business Blogging became the IT thing to do.

Folks tend to blog for one of three reasons, profit, pleasure or both; I blog for all of the above reasons. I get to connect with other entrepreneurs, generate income for Adsense and Ad Sales, as well as promote my websites for free.

Starting a Business Blog is a good idea. It is a great place to start building a following and your list. What I love about blogging is this: People found me from my blog. Your blog is your free self-made newspaper. In your niche for blogs can help you generate: ad revenue, new marketing, and expert credibility. Blogs are syndicated like tv and radio, so people can find you from all over the world. I love that my blog markets me while I sleep and then when I write great articles they help to build my credibility. Remember, folks have to buy what you say before they will buy what you sell.
