Blogging is a great way to spread your message to the masses.  When your blog is setup right for SEO you receive traffic on autopilot. This traffic is all from those looking for your message.  The question at hand is does a blog help your bottom line?

As I have already pointed out, a blog helps you get your internet marketing business off the ground.  No more warm market leads where you are bugging friends and family to sign up in your marketing business.  

Here are some reasons that you should have a blog for your business and/or your personal life.

Social Media

Supposed that Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram all shut down for some crazy reason.  For good measure, they shut down all at the same time.

What would you do if you solely relied upon social media marketing?  All your followers would be gone.  Unreachable.  In effect, your business has shut down.

Now if you had a blog along with an email list, you’d be able to let your followers know that social media is not a good way to get in touch with you.  Instead, just reply to the email message that the reader is reading.

Attracting New People To Your World

If you have a blog, and you want to affect your bottom line, you have a few things to do in order to get these things rolling.

1. Get your niche nailed down and start blogging, vlogging, marketing to this niche.
2. Be consistent with your blog posts.
3. Serve them better than you did yesterday.  The competition is never against anyone other than your previous self.

I’ve personally seen blogs that have grown so much that the blog owners are full-time bloggers due to the income they are creating.

If you search Pinterest for the term monthly income report, income results are amazing.  Ranging from $5 to $200k /month and more.

I hope this blog post has convinced you to start a blog now rather than later.

Blogging Isn’t For…

Yes, you know what I was going to say here, but before I typed the complete thought.  I had to say that blogging is for everyone.  The real question is if you are ready for blogging to be a part of your business.  

I’d love to give you a quick overview of how to start a WordPress blog so that you can take advantage of the free traffic that a blog will generate.

Leads and Sales

If you’re in a business, you know that the lifeblood of all businesses is getting leads that convert into sales.  Without it, your business is essentially dead.

This is yet another reason you should use the blog as a strategy to get more leads into your email marketing system.  The very nature of a blog is to give tremendous value and then help your customers decide that they need your product that you’re selling them.  

If you could show how profits are coming from your blog (and you can), you’d be ecstatic over the profits your blog can and will bring into the storehouse.

All it takes is just one sale from your blog to realize the immense positives of having a blog.  So, does a blog help your bottom line?

I would say an emphatic YES!

I’m running a 4-week email course that will show you just how to set up a blog and start making money.
