Today we cover how to move forward with the second step and get on the right track to full speed blogging.
Did you find what you know or are highly passionate about yet?
Did you figure it out how to package your knowledge in an easy-to-digest informational product?
Did you make a short profile of your ideal prospect - the individual or company – willing to pay YOU with their attention and hard-earned money?
If you already answered “YES” to all the three questions, good, it’s start we dive in. If not, go back to the first part of our article, and answer the 3 essential questions. There are no shortcuts!
Remember – “there is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs”. Here’s the second step to full speed blogging.
Find your blogging platform.
This is not an overnight procedure. Give real thought. Why do you want to have a blog in the first place? What does your business deliver?
Hobby-type bloggers and “bum” affiliate marketers prefer Google’s platform – Blogger
If you don’t take your business seriously, then use Blogger, they host your blog, but you do NOT control it! That means, one day, they might shut you down, without warning, like it happen to a few of my friends. I’m not saying this is the rule, yet the exception. But why risk your business and reputation?
Professional speakers, book authors and consultants prefer Typepad. It is not a free solution but might prove benefic if you’re a coach, author or speaker and want to stand out in the crowd.
When it comes to blogging, I prefer WordPress.org, self-hosted on DREAMHOST, my favorite webhost provider. This is the favorite blogging platform amongs pro bloggers, Internet marketing top guns, and super affiliates.
What you plan to use is up to you. But chose wisely.
