Marketing For Power Packed Business Growth

After taking this blog as far as I could I realised that I wanted some control over my own destiny.

Blogger has been good to me and has allowed me to try out blogging over quite an extended time (years!).

I continue with the same subject: Explosive Business Growth, on my Wordpress blog.

So overcome inertia and smash through to my new Business Growth site. Now!

By the way while you're there you can subscribe to get new posts via email. Easier than using RSS really.

It was great, while it lasted. I ca truly say Blogger helped me understand and appreciate blogging.

Anyway, at last I've moved...

I've had a very extended period of trying to write a few postings while I got the Wordpress implementation of the new blog sorted out.

Now if you wait...

You'll see this blog automatically transform into the shiny new Wordpress one. It's still not completely finished as there's a fair bit of housekeeping to complete on the new blog.

Wordpress allows more flexible publishing so hopefully you won't get 2 or 3 posts a day. Although if I get over-enthusiastic please bear with me - normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

My Alexa ranking and page rank has plummetted dramatically, although when I started this I was sure I could keep my page rank!

Still the content remains as good as ever, or at least I hope you think so.

I've had a private members blog for a while too and I may open that up to allow a few more people to join after I've converted it to Wordpress too - let me know if you're interested - email me at secretblog at acornservice dot com.

The new Wordpress version of this blog is located at http://www.business-powerpack.com and it's called "Business Growth And Internet Marketing."

Check it out and leave a comment about it, it'll be most appreciated.

See you there

I've just read a nice article on blog marketing by Lee Odden. In his post he gives "25 tips for marketing your blog".

Including Lees and to make 35 tips in all I've added a further 10 wrinkles for blog marketing:

26. If you've never blogged before try it out first using one of the many FREE services such as Blogger or Wordpress before deciding to invest in a paid service

27. Always use an offline client (such as Elicit, there are others) to prepare your blog posting. It means you have control over your posting and you don't lose it if your blog site goes down, or you lose network connection

28. Spell check each post

29. When you've posted re-read it and don't be afraid to re-jig the post to make it read better

30. As always remember that the Internet has a long memory. Anything you say can be reviewed long after you wrote it. If you've something controversial to say write it in draft and review it the following day. If you're still happy with it post away.

31. Use interesting headlines and remember that some feed readers cut off the headline after so many characters

32. Always post assuming you're being read and don't assume you're not being read because you've no comments

33. Provide extra resources like links to files and books for your readers

34. A specific niche blog is going to attract a lot of that markets online readers

35. As with web sites content is king. With no good content your blog is spam and may get visited but nobody will link to it and you will get no subscribers to it
