To Blog Or Not To Blog... That Is The Question - I bet Shakespeare would have been a prolific blogger
A blog is really just an interactive web site. Business owners used to be told that "If you don't have a web site and are online then you are not really in business". Now the same is said of Social Media. Don't believe me? Then take a look at Coca Cola's Facebook presence... with almost 12 million FB friends; they're on Twitter, MySpace, YouTube and Bebo too...why??
Social Media Marketing is the most important ingredient in your 'business cake'... and your blog is the HUB. This is where everyone you are building relationships with on your chosen social media platforms will be lead.
Social media is for building 'know - like - trust' relationships. We like to do business with people we already know... when will the MLM opportunity spammers on Facebook get it!
Your blog is where you continue to build that relationship and also get down to business.
Top 7 Reasons To Have A Blog
1. Network Marketing is a business of human interaction, building relationships and networking; your blog is the perfect place to facilitate this.
2. Ultimate way for you to brand yourself and earn credibility.
3. Build an opt-in list. This is so vital if you want to grow a successful business
4. Be seen as a Leader and not a follower. Essential if you want to make it big.
5. You OWN your blog... you don't own your social media profiles, they can be taken away from you without notice.
6. Don't have to rely solely on your cloned Company Web Site; you can stand apart from all the other Reps in your company.
7. An additional stream of income. People do make 4, 5 and 6 figure incomes monthly from their blog alone!
Convinced? I hope so because trying to promote on Social Media is Social Media Suicide!!
