Please Leave A Comment If You Have A Blog…

I’m wondering how many of my readers have a blog. If you’re reading this and you do have a blog, will you leave a comment?

If you don’t have a blog, consider starting one. Blogs are a great way to start a business or generate traffic.

A great way to establish yourself as an authority is to have dozens and dozens of blog posts published to the web for visitors to read.

Plus Google loves content, so they love blogs. The more content you have the more search engine traffic you’ll get.

Whenever I start a new hobby, I start a blog with it. That way I can track my progress with the hobby, and I have a ton of content if I ever get to the point where I want to monetize that hobby.

Right now, in addition to this blog, I have a music blog and a wine blog. I keep both of them secret and don’t talk about them too much.

And I haven’t posted to either one in quite a while. But that’s OK, the content is there waiting for me when I come back. One day all that content I’ve compiled will be very useful. And if not, I’ll still have a personal record of the hobby if I ever want to go back and look.

I think I have some DVD’s that show how to set up a blog. Maybe I’ll give one away next week. In the meantime, it’s not hard. Buy a domain name, get a web host that uses cPanel, point the domain at the webhost and use cPanel’s auto-install to install Wordpress. Done!

    Hi Stephen.

    Blogs are very powerful SEO solution. For example my blog is about how to create profitable business online. My blog is in spanish focused on spanish market.

    According my website stats, members of my newsletter who suscribe from my blog are 2-3 times more favorable to purchase my products than any other origin.

    Thanks for your info and content.

    Hi again Stephen & Alicia

    Of course I have a blog. I have even recommended people read your book over on my Earning Money Online blog. One reason I don’t call it “making money” but “earning money” is that I recognize - as you do - that it takes effort.

    But when it’s fun it’s nice to do, so I run a whole host of blogs in both Danish and English which I have made an overview of over at http://blunckmeister.googlepages.com.

    Have a nice weekend all of you. :-)

    Yep, I’ve got a blog. (Click my name.)

    And I’ve got another blog. (debt market)

    And I write a client’s blog. (another market)

    Lots of blogs.

    By the way, it’s kinda creepy with that heart showing up next to my latest blog post. For the record, the heart has nothing to do with the blog post. ;-)

    I don’t have a continuous blog - can’t seem to keep the focus going. Maybe a blog on multitasking? I write to a lot of people. Am still back in the email age? I do have a blog or two on a site or two but have never gotten “into it”. Do I need software to make me blog everyday? Any of you have software that does that? Madi

    Nope, it would be crass to mention my website, Working Webmaster. But thanks for giving me the opportunity to plug Working Webmaster anyway ;-)

    Agree with you, Stephen. I started to write on my friendster’s blog. And I became aware of its benefits. So I decide to have a new blog, my own, which I will do it more seriously.
    Anyway, here is my blog. The writings have various topics and are written in two language: English and Bahasa Indonesia.

    Well I looked at your blog mate but what are you going to blog about? It seems a tad vague.
    How long have you been doing this by the way?
    You seem to have a few comments but what is the theme of your blog going to be? I always thought that important.
    Mine is merely the opinions of an older Australian.
    And usually consists of politics…at this moment of course it is about the new American President
    I have never thought of making money out of blogging it’s a thought I guess.
    I didn’t find this a friend sent me the link one Madlyn Creekmore, so decided to comment.
    Sadly Madlyn never even looks at the links I insert in my blogs such a waste really as those links tell much more than a referral point.
    Good luck with it
    I have bookmarked it so I can go look again in a few days

    I do have a blog, but I haven’t been able to update the content regularly yet (mostly the past month during the holiday season). I’ll fix that soon.

  • http:// Stephen Dean

    Hey Tony, I saw your last blog entry, I liked your rant. Meant to leave a comment, will try and get to that today. Thanks for posting your blog.

  • http:// Stephen Dean

    Wow, that’s good to know Francisco. Thanks for sharing your results.

    And thanks Gary and Kingsley for sharing your blogs.

  • http:// Stephen Dean

    LOL, funny title for your blog, Rick. Lovin’ it.

  • http:// Stephen Dean

    Thanks James, Robert and Lowell. I checked out all your blogs and will again.

    Thanks for sharing Ryan! I read your debt blog from time to time (you’re doing great so far!). I’d love to know more about the arrangement you have writing your client’s blog, sounds interesting.

    LOL at the heart… hmm…

  • http:// Stephen Dean

    Ya Zazzu, why not write to people through your blog instead of email. If they’re on your list, they’ll get it either way!

  • http:// Stephen Dean

    LOL Tom. Thanks Rotua.

    Hey Mick, I’ve had this blog for a little over 2 years I think. I generally focus on copywriting and business. The front page looks a little different now with my lengthy Obama post! I checked out your blog, good work and hope you continue.

  • http:// Stephen Dean

    That’s OK Vidya, it happens. Makes it harder to keep regular readers but the content’s still there for you when you get back. Good luck.

  • http://thewhizzer.blogspot.com/ Mick Rogers

    Thanks for your comment Stephen…I never learnt much from you exactly but thems the breaks oh I do have another blog or two but as I see it you are just giving words of encouragement to bloggers.
    I guess that’s the theme of your blog!!
    Good luck with your copywriting whatever.

    Mick, you make me laugh. I’ll check out your blog again. Come by and leave a comment anytime.

  • Zazzu

    Mick is indeed a character! In 3 years he has built quite a place for himself on the net. I’m glad he left a comment. He’s a knowledgeable and plucky bloke!
