I’m wondering how many of my readers have a blog. If you’re reading this and you do have a blog, will you leave a comment?
If you don’t have a blog, consider starting one. Blogs are a great way to start a business or generate traffic.
A great way to establish yourself as an authority is to have dozens and dozens of blog posts published to the web for visitors to read.
Plus Google loves content, so they love blogs. The more content you have the more search engine traffic you’ll get.
Whenever I start a new hobby, I start a blog with it. That way I can track my progress with the hobby, and I have a ton of content if I ever get to the point where I want to monetize that hobby.
Right now, in addition to this blog, I have a music blog and a wine blog. I keep both of them secret and don’t talk about them too much.
And I haven’t posted to either one in quite a while. But that’s OK, the content is there waiting for me when I come back. One day all that content I’ve compiled will be very useful. And if not, I’ll still have a personal record of the hobby if I ever want to go back and look.
I think I have some DVD’s that show how to set up a blog. Maybe I’ll give one away next week. In the meantime, it’s not hard. Buy a domain name, get a web host that uses cPanel, point the domain at the webhost and use cPanel’s auto-install to install WordPress. Done!
