OK…Here we go.

I’m not sure if you know how to create a blog but I am going to write a little about blogging and show you some of my blogs. I think I will show you by way of links to all you need to build, design and promote your site and links to my sites that are complete.

The reason I do Blogs is because they are another effective way of driving traffic to you site. There are many blog sites out there that you can create a free blog to advertise some of your product and send them to an affiliate link of yours or directly to your site where all of your links are at.

You can also put Adsense or Pay-Per-Click ads on your site which will generate an additional form of income for you. So BLOGGING or BLOGS can be a great source of generating income for you. So lets show you the links to the sites for FREE blogs to begin with:

1. Blogger
2. BlogText
3. Blogono
4. Noodle5
5. NowBlogging
6. DakotaBlogs
7. OutBlogger
8. Blogthing
9. Blogfuse
10. Wordpress

And there are quite a few others but these are the ones that I use personally although some of them have some pretty strict restrictions. Blogger and Wordpress are the 2 I recommend the most.

And after you build your Blog you will again have to submit your site to blog directories to get advertisment for your blog as well. But with these blog sites, there a bit different than a actual website. With a blog you can interact with real people. You can invite friends to join and view your page. You can update your material with post. Add pages and give them a schedule of when to post (This is a nice feature that the two places I mentioned have). And because you can interact with other people on the net, you will be able to build a “Social Network” for your products with little effort. So you build, a so called following to your website. Now isn’t that KOOL!

In Fact, if you want your blog to have the same feel and look as your website, with WordPress you can use one of their templates for your existing website as well. Thanks to a good friend of mine, Mr. Otis Collier, I now have a great looking website that is very simple to update at anytime. Your looking at it now. Nice eh.

But back to our story…lol…Ok, so now that we have our blogging sites, let’s get into creating one. I am going to put a few more links here to help you out with the look and feel of your site:

Blog Templates:

1. Blogger Templates
2. Blogskins
3. Blog-Connection
4. Blog Catalog
5. FreeTemplates
6. TemplatePanic
7. ProBlogger
8. Blog Fashions
9. Blogging Themes
10. Blogosphere

Now again, there are thousands of sites that offer templates, these sites offer FREE templates. So I just so happen to like FREE stuff as a general rule. So look around and search some more if you don’t find what your looking for. There are even sites that offer templates that our related to your Niche (Product(S) your trying to sell. But most of these (If there really nice ones) cost money. Which I am trying to save you some money.

OK, now you have your Blog sites and your Blog Templates. So let me show you some of my sites focused towards a particular “Niche” just to show you what your blog is capable of.

Some of my sites:

1. Irresitible Resipes - Home Cooking
2. Dethangel’s World of Warcraft
3. The World of Affiliate Marketing

These are just 5 of my sites and everyone has my adsense, my links and my banners to generate money for me. And the first one even has several links to my website www.irresistiblerecipes.info.

So you see, it is very important to have a blog that is connected to your “Niche”. Which will drive traffic to your site. There are also “Social Networks” like MySpace, Yuwie, FaceBook, Hi5 and many others that you can also send them to your site or blog to generate more traffic, but “Social Networks” will be another posting.

So these are the basics to putting together a BLOG. Now let me show you a few sites where you can submit your blogs because submitting your blog to sites like these create backlinks which are critical in generating traffic to your blog:

1. Top Ranking Blog - 50+ sites
2. RSS Specifications - 60+ sites
3. Web-Directories - 500+ sites
4. 3 Spots - 38 sites
5. Blog Connection - 44 sites
6. Master New Media - 55 sites
7. Lazy Url - This site charges - Prices start at $19.95 for 50 and up
8. Search Engine Journal - 20 sites
9. A2ZEducation - 51 sites
10. Search Engine Marketing Spot - 45 sites

So now you have your FREE Blog sites, your FREE Templates and your FREE submission sites. Now all thats left is for you to build your Blog. Oh, and you will need to figure out “Keywords, Meta Tags and Content of your Page” to make sure that your site is well balanced to get good ranking on the search engines. I have posted some tools that will help you figure out how to do this and they are FREE tools: SEODigger & SEOTools. These tools should help you out a lot. I also recommend (If you have a little money to invest) a program called ProfitLance for website optimization and Blogging to the Bank 2.0 for Blogging on the High End.

I will get more in depth to this subject soon so keep coming back to check in on all the new articles I add each week.
I hope this has helped you on your way to Financial Freedom and I was able to help a little. Good Luck and we will talk to you soon in my next post.
