Oh, No!... Another Secret!?!?

How would you like to have your very own personalized website that exposes your products and services to your prospective clients? What if the website also gave you the ability express your personal vision and passion for what you are doing, while at the same time allowing them to get to know you as a trusted business person?

What if through your online presence you could automate your presentation and forward interested buyers to your company's replicated eCommerce website? What if you could also advertise your affiliate products on this same personal website at no extra charge? What if all of this could run on autopilot and make money for you while you sleep?

And finally, what if you could have all of this absolutely FREE!?

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, call me crazy, but I'm going to tell you how to have this entire automatic money making internet business machine right now absolutely free. Shhh... don't tell anyone... it's a secret.

Here it is...a BLOG!

Now please don't get mad and start throwing things at me. I'm sure you know what a blog (web log) is since you happen to be looking at one. But in all seriousness, until you know how to capture people's attention and promote yourself and what you are doing, the rest does not matter.

Forget about spending your money on another "secret" or internet business until you learn some basic marketing tactics that work.

It is not my intent to educate everyone on how to set up and use a blog. Plenty of free information is available on the Internet, or you can use the tutorials on blogger.com to get started. My intent is to point out the power of this tool and how it fits into "The Big Picture."

As they say..."a picture is worth a thousand words"... so here is one way a Blog fits in the big picture.

The Blog is, for the money, the best way to personalize your business. As mentioned previously, simply sending massive numbers of prospects to a replicated company website does not yield extraordinary results. You're just pushing another product. But with a blog you can put a "face" on your business and be someone your clients can relate to.

Brand your business with "You, Inc." and add value to the process.

This type of website also gives you more control and enables you to leverage your advertising dollars. You can easily direct traffic to multiple sources of income that might include: direct sales, affiliate programs, or even MLM recruiting.

Additionally, by posting relevant information to interest your readers, they are more likely to return and may promote your site through word-of-mouth. Pertinent information is also much more likely to be picked up by search engines and result in "free" advertising for your business.

Here is a live example from one of my blogs designed to educate people about the Fastest Growing Crime in America. It provides informative articles and resources, as well as possible solutions to the problem. Take a look for yourself at http:// I Got You Babe on Blogspot.

Please keep in mind that a blog will not do all the work and magically create customers overnight. You must still learn when and how to use various advertising tools to reach your target market and promote your blog. Here are a few examples:

• Online Ads such as Google AdWords
• Offline ads in newspapers and magazines
• Email promotions
• Word-of-Mouth
• Flyers
• Search Engines
• Company Magazines
• Promotional DVDs
• Calling prospects on the Telephone
• 3-way calls
• Business Cards
• Articles

The list goes on...
