Wonder What Is Blogging And Why You Should Setup A Blog?

By Andrew Egorov

Have you heard about the blog... So what is blogging about? It is short for web log. It is simply a method you can write online for others to read. People utilize the blog to let others keep up with what is going with their lives. Years ago people would send out a newsletter by regular mail, or snail mail, to let their friends or relatives know what was going on with them.

Now most internet experienced people use a blog. They create a blog and let people visit their blog to read their latest entry. But people figured if they could use a blog for personal reasons they could use a blog for business reasons. They started promoting products with their blogs. So what started as a way to write personal messages on the internet has become one of the best ways to promote products and make money on the internet.

One of the ways people use them is to create a blog and promote affiliate products. These are products from other people not your own. You earn a commission each time you help create a sale of that person's product. A blog is a great way to do this plus unlike websites you do not need to pay for hosting space with a blog.

You can use your blog to do a product review about the affiliate product or you can simply talk about how the product has helped you and how it can help others. You put a link in your online post to the product you are promoting. People then click on the link and go to that page. Since you are signed up with that product owner as an affiliate you get a link with an identifying tag so the product owner knows that you sent the customer to his site.

This is a good alternative to building a website especially if you are new to this type of marketing on the internet. Building a website might be new to you and you want to focus on marketing not the technical part of building a website. And there are a lot of blog hosting companies you can sign up for free with and start building one right away.

The steps are very easy to follow. You can also choose your own blog template. And in no time you will have a professional looking presence on the internet without the hassle of cost of creating a website.

The advantage also is that you will be adding new and fresh content a regular basis. The search engines love this. So you will be ranked high on the search engines which means more traffic to your site.

So if you have an online business and you do not yet have a blog start one today. Even if you have a website you can benefit from a blog because you can always link your blog to your website. All the new traffic to your blog will be interested in going to your website for your product information. You will increase your sales no matter how you choose to use your blog.
