Personal Blogging With A Business Twist
Recently I am trying to use blogs to promote my business websites, almost all the blogs on which I chose to work were based on wordpress, as we all know that WordPress is perfect for casual as well as professional bloggers, with the fact that its licensed under GPL make the wordpress the most popular weblog platform on the Internet.
Lately I figured that I should build my own blogs and promote them, subsequently I can use my own blogs to promote my other websites, and I think its not a patentable idea, all kinds of blog networks are out there for the exact purpose, the thing is that I don’t control those blogs, in addition there is no way I can post to them, obviously I will have to pay the owner to use their blogs, probably not cheap at all.
Its quite difficult to manage more than a few blogs manually, if you want values for your blogs, to put real content on your site won’t be an easy job, you have to put in time and money to build a successful blog. I’ve seen quite a few real world examples, look at this one, truck straps, it’s name is pretty cute, and it has a lot of interesting posts, though its not a theme focused blog, you’ll find all kinds of different posts there. Here is another one, register domain, this blog has a theme, all posts are following the same theme, and ranks well for quite a few keywords. there are more sites like these out there, though I guess you get the point already. Last but not least, in your little net you should have some loose blogs, put some random content on those blogs occasionally, such as this blog, ratchet strap, your blogging network looks more natural with these casual blogs.
When you already have a few interesting blogs, you can try to build a few more, use the old ones to promote the new ones, this way you get your little blog network rolling. Of course its just the beginning, it won’t be easy to build even a tiny blogging network, follow the white hat tricks and ethic codes of online conduct you will be fine.
