Hello,
Welcome to new topics on blogging
If you've browsed the Internet lately, you've probably heard about Blogs. But, what exactly is a Blog? A Blog is simply a web log that enables you to easily publish a variety of content to the Internet.
You can publish whatever you'd like, such as your personal thoughts, graphics, documents (Text, Word, PowerPoint, and PDF), and multimedia.
In today's edition of MISI, I'm will provide you with an overview of Blogs and even show you how you can publish your own.
I hope you'll enjoy the publication.
To your success!
How to - "Blog"... and Why You Should!
First, a quick definition for those who do not know what a Blog is. Quite simply, it's a Web Log. In other words, a regularly updated page of your thoughts, ideas, links - whatever.
It's very easy to publish a Blog these days and today I'm going to show you how in a few easy steps. Don't worry - all the sites, services and tools involved are fr'ee.
Before we go ahead I should first explain why a Blog is so useful. A Blog provides a number of benefits to you and your site and all for very little effort.
1. A Blog will add valuable content to your site. This in turn increases repeat visitors and increases the frequency the Google Page Bot (and therefore how often your site listings are updated) will visit.
2. A Blog can be updated very quickly (especially using the technique I show you below). It's much faster to update than editing your Web Page or sending out an e-mail.
3. Blogs can be delivered as RSS Feeds and this means a user can download software to have your Blog delivered direct to their desktop as and when it's updated. You DO NOT have to pay for sites such as Quikonnex or the new Cory Rudl software. RSS Feeds are NOT new and you shouldn't have to pay for what is essentially a fr'ee technology!
Do you now believe you should publish a Blog? If you do, just read on, and see how easy it is!
First join Blogger.Com - this is a popular Blog service (there are others) that makes the whole process as simple as possible. You just register your details and a title for your Blog.
Why choose Blogger? First, the Google Toolbar has a "Blog This" button that makes updating your Blog childs play. Click the button, and you can publish direct into your Blog immediately - including a link to the web-site you're currently on!
Second, Blogger will add you to it's directory and to a notification service AND they will let you publish to their site, though you can set FTP settings to publish to a page at your own domain. For now we'll publish to Bloggers host service "BlogSpot" since they are fast and the only thing they add is one banner at the top. You may also get featured as one of Bloggers daily blogs and gain massive traffic.
Blogger also has a range of templates and you can even edit these directly to personalize your Blog, right down to adding ads or links to your own site (Tip: include a navigation bar). Blogger will also archive your Blog and insert links to your archived months.
Blogger will create a Blog for you in a few steps. At the Blogger.Com main page click on "Start Now" at the top. Enter your Username, Password and Name and away you go.
Once you have your account validated, log in and create a new Blog. This is just as simple as creating a user account. Enter a Title and Description, and leave it as a "Public" Blog. Then select host at BlogSpot. Create a subdomain for your BlogSpot then select a template. You can create your own templates but that requires extensive HTML knowledge.
That's it! You have an account and a Blog setup. There are other settings to explore. You can set "Ping Weblogs" to YES in the Settings/Publishing option to notify Weblogs whenever you publish. You can also set "Show Title Field" and "Email" options to provide Titles to your Blog Entries and email a copy of your entries to you. Everything else is OK as it is.
With your Blog at BlogSpot and your Google Toolbar toolbar.google.com installed, set the Blogger function in the Toolbar Options and then click the `B` button in the toolbar. There you have it - one instant Blog entry.
How To Use Your RSS Feed
If you left the Blog settings as standard, your RSS feed is at your BlogSpot Address as atom.xml - the number of entries depends on your settings in Blogger, but it's usually a weeks worth. Although the Atom feed doesn't hold *every* entry, the end user's client software stores all entries as they come in. Your website Blog has complete on-line archives.
Instruct your readers to download an RSS Reader and to use that address to receive your Blog updates. Below I've included a quick tutorial that you can cut-out and send to your own Blog readers, just change the Blog Address.
How To Get Updates From This Blog... To Your Desktop!
First you need to download a "Feed Reader." This Blog uses an Atom Feed. Atom Readers can be downloaded from the following webpage:
www.atomenabled.org/everyone/atomenabled/index.php?c=5
The above link contains a "big list" of resources, so you may want to use the program below if you want to get started with a quick and easy client right away:
Tristana Reader www.charlwood.com/tristana
The Tristana Reader is a small and quick reader. This "big list" contains this reader and others, including those for Mac OS and web-based services. There's also certain readers that integrate into your browser. Use the link to the "big list" to find one you like. Don't worry, they're nearly all fr'ee!
In Tristana, you simply click the large "+" sign and enter the address of the Blog Atom feed. The feed to this Blog is: netpreneurnow.blogspot.com/atom.xml
Once the feed is added, just double click it to get a list of headlines and click each headline to get the entry. You can add as many blogs as you want and Tristana will happily keep them all for you.
Blogger itself has a lot of help if you need it, so it's time for me to sign off.
Happy Blogging! -

Ways To Profit From Your BLOG... Starting TODAY!
Cyberspace has a NEW marketing tool, even though they've been around for quite some time, yet, ONLY recently have been recognized as a Powerful communication tool for Internet marketers.
If you've been following the latest Internet marketing trends like I have, then you've definitely heard of them.
What's this new marketing tool I'm taking about that every serious marketer should have in place?
BLOGS! ...(A.K.A. Web-Log).
Now, just for those of you who aren't quite sure what a BLOG is, here's a quick definition:
A BLOG (A.K.A. Web-Log) is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating (usually on a daily to weekly basis) a blog is called "Blogging" and someone who keeps a Blog is a "Blogger."
There you have it, quick and to the point.
If you want to read up more about "Blogs", here's a link to an article my buddy wrote earlier that goes more in depth. www.internetwondersezine.com/blogsexplained.htm
Okay. For the rest of this article I want to focus on how ONE can $$Profit$$ from having their own Blog.
I'm going to list three ways that I think are the best and most powerful ways to get the most out of your Blog.
So, with that said, let's go to Profit Tactic #1.
Profit Tactic #1. Writing "Articles."
Writing "articles" is a very powerful way to profit from your Blog.
There are many reasons why "articles" are valuable to your Blog, but for the purpose of this article, I'm going to give you the most important part and that's your "resource box" at the end of your article.
Your "resource box" is like a classified ad and holds critical information about you, your websites and what you have to offer them after they've read your article.
The links within your "resource box" could lead to your own product or service you have to offer, or they could lead to an affiliate product related to the content of your article.
This is a great way to give them something of "value," which is the information within the article, and a great way to get them to take action by way of getting them to click on one of the links within your "resource box."
That's "Profit Tactic #1."
Profit Tactic #2. Writing "Product Reviews."
Writing "product reviews" is a great way to profit from your Blog simply because they allow you to soft-sell your potential customer by way of giving them your personal opinion on the product you are recommending and then providing them with a link if they wish to look into it further, instead of throwing a sales pitch at them.
Nobody likes to be sold, but offering them your insight on a product and/or service that could help solve the problem they're dealing with is yet another great way to profit from your Blog and make you look like a Hero.
That's "Profit Tactic #2."
Profit Tactic #3. "Text Ad" Programs.
"Text Ad Programs" like Affiliate Power Ads or Google Adsense are yet Another great way to profit from your Blog.
I've listed these two "Text Ad" programs for a reason. One is a Pay-Per-Click (Google Adsense) and shows related ads to the content on that particular webpage and the other one (Affiliate Power Ads) makes You up to $60 to $100 dollars in commissions on a single click.
Here are the links for you to check them out further if you wish.
Google Adsense --
www.internetwondersezine.com/googleads.htm
Affiliate Power Ads --
www.internetwondersezine.com/powerads.htm
They are both FREE to join and only take you minutes to set-up, depending on your experience.
Here's an example of how mine looks if you were to set-up your Blog through Blogger.com -- www.blogger.com with both of these programs. bobmo2009.blogspot.com
The great thing is... they'll be displayed on every page of your Blog when you make a post.
Its also provided a link below that shows you how to set this up step by step, making it easy for you to get started. www.internetwondersezine.com/help.htm
Now, I'm sure there are many other ways to $$Profit$$ from your Blog, but I believe these are the most powerful.
Well... there you have it, some "Ways To Profit From Your BLOG... Starting TODAY!"
If you haven't started a BLOG, maybe it's time you considered it since NOW you have some incentive.
I truly hope this article helped you realize the $$Profit$$ potential your Blog could have and how you can start incorporating it... Starting TODAY! -
10 Perfect Reasons Why You Really Need a Blog for Your Business
1. It is perfect for creating a web presence for independent professionals who have something to say and who need people to get to know them and what they can do for them.
2. Having your own business blog gives you credibility and a forum where you can show your expertise.
3. Readers can comment directly onto your blog, creating interaction and interest.
4. No more waiting for your web designer to update your web site.
5. You can post to your blog yourself, about any issue, daily if you wish, and get it broadcast into the blogosphere instantly.
6. The search engines love blogs and will pick up your keywords easily, boosting your rankings, making it easier for people to find you on the web.
7. Customers are drawn to personality behind the business. Human voices convey intimacy beyond PR-babble. (To read about this topic read The Science of Making Money online = Getting Started with Multiple Streams of income. The chapters is available free online: bobmo2009.blogspot.com/2009/01/multiple-stream-of-internet-income.html
8. You can network and build up a community of like-minded readers. You blog, people comment. Others blog, you comment. Before you know it, more people have heard of you and your business because the buzz gets passed around.
9. You can test out new ideas and get instant feedback. Get your customers and prospects in on the act now and let them help you help them - invite them to talk back! Let them see how you develop your products and services and they can show you how to best to serve them.
10. You can use your blog side-bars to promote your products, your affiliate products, run blog ads, sell books, and any other product or services you have. You don’t have to include this in the body or content of your article; therefore your posts - your writing - can remain content rich and free of promotional hype.
Finally, email marketing and electronic newsletters are struggling because of over-crowded inboxes, spam problems and filters.
* On the average, 64.7% of the business e-mail you send is not even opened, let alone read. [source: Q3 2004 Email Trend Report, DoubleClick ]
* E-mail marketers are seeing their open-rates range from only "mid-20s to just over 50 %" [source: ClickZ.com]
* That means that you are losing at least 50% of your prospective buyers or readers. How much does that amount to in losses over the course of the next few years?
* AOL receives roughly 2 billion e-mail messages a day, of which about 75 percent are blocked and another 4 to 7 percent are sent to the bulk folder. [source: ClickZ.com]
Sit up and pay attention. The time to start blogging for your business is now -
So you’ve created an RSS feed and it contains current cutting edge information in your field of interest. Now how do you get the word out to other webmasters who might be interested in putting the content from your RSS feed on their site?
Just how easy, or hard, is it to publish your feed and have other webmasters pick it up and publish it on their site?
If you’ve created your feed and validated it then most of the hard work is complete. Now you’re going to get the word out about it being available.
So what should be your first step?
I think I would first give the search engines the easiest path to find your feed and index it. To get the search engines to do this you should add this short piece of html code to between the tags on the webpage that has a link for your feed.
Be sure to replace www.yourdomain.com/rss.xml with the URL to the RSS feed.
Next, I would be sure to display the Feed on your website using a graphic. The basic RSS or XML graphic in bright orange rectangles, will lead people visually to the feed.
Here’s an RSS graphics tool that will allow you to customize a graphic for your site:
www.feedforall.com/public/rss-graphic-tool.htm
Now that you have it on your site I would begin submitting your feed to all of the RSS directories and search engines you can find. The last time I reviewed them there was well over a hundred (that I could find).
There is a large list of RSS directories located here:
www.rss-specifications.com/rss-submission.htm
By submitting to directories and search engines you will be helping to increase the link popularity of your feed and your site.
You can also use email to promote your RSS Feed. Simply include the feed url in your sig file on all outgoing mail. If you have an ezine be sure to include it in each issue. I would also go so far as to provide a link to a either or both a desktop RSS reader and a website reader for those webmaster who may want to use your content on their site.
Another way to promote your feed is to include the feed on a personal my.yahoo or my.msn home page. This is probably the fastest way to have your feed spidered by Yahoo and MSN. If you don’t already have an account and a personal webpage go to each site and create one. After you have created your account add your RSS Feed. In Yahoo, go to your personal page click on Add Content, then add the URL of your blog RSS feed into the Find Content box.
A good point to keep in mind is to have content available in your feed before you add it to either of your personal webpages on the SE’s above.
To keep the search engine spiders coing back you can implement a simple strategy to let them know you have posted new material and it’s time to come back. This strategy is simply called ‘pinging’.
You can let the main RSS/blog directories know you have placed new material by “pinging” them. Now you could go to each of the directories individually or you could automatically ‘ping’ all of them at once by going to this site:
www.pingomatic.com
You type in your rss/blog URL, Click Submit and Pingomatic will send your ping to all of the large directories available on its page. Doing this will bring the spiders back to your site almost immediately!
Be sure to add relevant content to your RsSS feed as often as you can as the more often you add new content the more likely you will be to develop more traffic.
Once you’ve started implementing these ideas and strategies you should be well on your way to getting more recognition for your RSS Feed. -

Bloggers Adsense Tips
If you have joined the blogging revolution that is sweeping the net, and you think you might want to make a little revenue – or a lot of revenue – from your blogging efforts, you need AdSense tips for bloggers. Blogging has opened up an entirely new way of how non-technical people interact with the Internet, and now, anyone can publish anything about any topic – without having a website – and anyone can profit without even having a product!
Adsense for blogs make perfect sense. Google’s advertising programs are designed to work with sites related to the keywords for the ads that are being presented. Each time you add content to your blog, the Google spiders gobble it up. The more you update, the more the Google spider visits your page. Ultimately, you move up in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) for the topics that you write about. You see where this is going. The higher your search ranking, the more traffic you receive, which ultimately leads to higher revenue from AdSense ads.
The beauty of blogs is their potential for rapid growth. If you become known as an expert in your area of expertise, word of mouth spreads quickly and your blog can become very popular. So it is vital that you always teach something with every blog entry. You want your readers to come back frequently and they will if they know they will learn something. Not only will your readers bookmark your blog and return often, but they will link to your blog enthusiastically as well.
People in forums will refer to your blogs and discuss what they learned. Websites will link to you as a valuable resource. In short, an informative blog can grow very quickly if the information it provides is valuable.
It is important to write about specific topics, and sprinkle your blog entries with specific keywords to get the best results – and the highest revenue – with your Google AdSense ads. There is a method to the madness. Start your revenue generating blog by testing the waters.
Decide what area you would like to write about and then do some keyword research. Research is easy if you use Google’s keyword tools found at adwords.google.com/select/KeywordSandbox . The keyword tools are located in your Google AdWords account. Yes, you need a free AdWords account to be successful but you don’t have to fund it to use the keyword tools.
Look for keywords related to your subject that are high paying. These are keywords where the bid amounts are high. Make a list of the top paying keywords, and use that list to determine what topics you will write about.
Remember, you want people to visit your blog time and time again, and build up a readership, make sure that your blog is well written and informative. Don’t just target keywords for the sake of targeting keywords – the writing needs to make sense! Writing valuable content is the first step to generating traffic to your blog, and traffic is needed to profit from AdSense ads!
You are allowed to use the AdSense ad units in two different places on each page. You can accomplish this in a couple of different ways. First, you can add the AdSense ad code to the template for your blog. This is done through the control panel for your blog, and some knowledge of HTML is needed. The other option is to paste the AdSense code directly in your blog post each time you submit a new post. You can use it once at the top and once at the bottom, or once after a few paragraphs of the post, and again after a few more paragraphs.
Get that code in there however you see fit – but then pay close attention to the results so you can see what is working and what isn’t. Tracking is everything if you want to make real money!
Of course, you need to advertise your blog as much as possible as well. Make sure that you provide Trackbacks to other people’s blogs as often as possible, and that you visit blogs, leave comments – and leave a link for your blog as well!

Your Key to Quick Online Profits in blogging....
The term 'blog' is a combination of two words; weB and LOG. According to Wikipedia, "A blog is a user-generated web site where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order."
Long before the term 'blog' was coined, people were keeping journals online and sharing them with family and friends. Most all of these journals were personal in nature. That was back in the old days of what is now referred to as Web 1.0 ... that is, the web as it existed prior to 2001 when the Dot Com bust happened. After the Dot Com bust, Web 2.0 became the reality of the Internet. When the Dot Com bust happened, there were cries that the sky was falling. But what emerged from that chaos is an Internet that is far, far better.
The Internet is no longer driven by web site owners with static web sites who are in full control of all information and information that flows only one way, but rather by web site users and Internet surfers. Information now flows both ways. Blogs and blogging are a part of the major differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. Blogging has become big business.
It doesn't matter what topic an Internet surfer is interested in, there are multiple blogs on every subject imaginable on the Internet. Some of these sites are still personal in nature, but it really didn't take folks long to discover that there was a great deal of money to be made with blogs.
Blogs are great marketing tools, as Internet users and Search Engines love them. Internet users love blogs because they provide them with a wealth of information. Search Engines love the constantly changing unique content and a lot of incoming links. Blogging will provide you with both.
The quickest and easiest way to get started with your own blog is to visit Google's Blogger site. You can get your blog set up in just a few simple steps.
Once you get your blog set up, the key to using this as a powerful marketing tool is to start posting relevant content and recommendations that will be of interest to your target market. This information should be informative and helpful to your readers. You can then provide recommendations and links to the products and/or services you're promoting.
When you start blogging, you really need to post information on a continual basis, as this will keep your readers coming back again and again.
In addition, you will need to market your blog, just like anything else. Although blogging with Google will definitely help, you will also need to let people know about your blog.
Starting your own blog is the quickest and easiest way to get started online. Not only can you add Google Ads to your blog, but you can also join affiliate programs for products and services that target your audience and make recommendations to your readers. You can begin making money almost immediately, depending on how much traffic you drive to your blog.
Blogging provides Internet marketers with a great way to reach their target market. Use them to your fullest advantage. This topic is open for discussion......... -
Top Ten Reason to keep Published a Blog
Blogs are the hottest thing going these days when it comes to marketing on the Internet. A blog is a way of delivering your messages and article to clients. They are a like personal web sites, easy to create and far less expensive than traditional web sites.
Just when you thought you were mastering the tasks of ezines and newsletters, along comes blogging, and you have to ask yourself:
* Do I really need a blog?
* Isn’t an email ezine or newsletter doing the same thing?
* Should I do both?
* Are these two marketing tools going to eat up all my time, energy and money?
* What’s the best way to spend my resources here so that I can get clients and results out of my marketing efforts?
Here are ten reasons why you should pay attention to this new blogging revolution and do both and ezine and a blog.
1. Because a blog is web based, it is published instantaneously every time you post. This allows you to be spontaneous and current with issues that affect your readers/clients. Blog posts are short, ezines can be longer. One can complement the other.
2. Because blog posts are spontaneous, they tend to be more informal, friendly, and conversational. Blog posts show your personality. Ezines show your knowledge. Your readers/clients need to know who you are before they will invest in your services. Providing both an ezine and a blog allows your readers to get to know you.
3. You can set up a subscription form on your blog and your subscribers will get a short notice in their inboxes each time you post something new. This is a great way around the spam filter problem which blocks so many ezines and legitimate messages from professionals.
4. Blogs link to other blogs and web sites, which helps you create a viral marketing system, increasing your exposure to search engines. Search engines love blogs because they are text based and key word rich. Your rankings go up when you publish a blog and use linking and posting on a frequent basis. You can also link to your own web site(s).
5. You have instant access to all your published articles on your blog. A blog automatically creates archives of previous posts. You see them in a side-bar for easy access. You put them into categories for easy finding. One clever person we know spent a day posting all her ezine articles to her blog, so that it would appear she has been blogging for a much longer time. Also, readers of her blog may not have had the opportunity to read all of her other ezine articles.
6. You can use your blog to become a trusted expert in your field by filtering content on the web for your subscribers. Readers don’t have time to surf and to collect information, but you can do it for them, thereby establishing yourself as a good resource.
7. You can set up links for ads, products, and for your affiliate programs in the blog side columns so you don’t have to include them in the body of your article. In an ezine, you have to be careful about promotional stuff in the article because it annoys people and causes them to unsubscribe. A blog is a non-intrusive way to do this, and an ezine can link to the blog where more information can be found.
8. Readers can comment on your blog postings, which creates rapport and with readers. You can ask questions, stimulate responses by being controversial, and survey readers. It is a great way to keep your finger on the pulse of what readers want.
9. You don’t have to mess with a web site, or pay a web designer to update your web site every time you have a new article or teleclass, or program or product. Blogs are user-friendly, and with a few instructions or tutorials, you can learn to use it yourself. It is less expensive than setting up your ezine in HTML.
10. Bottom line is this: using a blog and an ezine will help attract more visitors to your website, who become subscribers and who may eventually become clients.
Think of the World Wide Web as a big fishing pond. The more fishing lines in the pond, the more fish you are going to catch!
You have a web site, yet it is static like an online brochure.
You have an ezine, which you grow through subscription links everywhere.
And now, you should have a blog, where you can attract more readers to get to know you, where they can interact with you, and maybe take your bait!
Happy fishing! -
