subject: Your MLM Blog Deserves To Be Seen! [print this page] Ok, so you've taken the plunge and set up your MLM blog. So how do you keep your network marketing blog from being lonely? Your blog is the nerve center for your entire online marketing strategy; however, unlike the movie Field of Dreams, the principle of "If you build it, they will come..." does not apply to the world of blogging. Without effective traffic geneation, your blog will face a lonely existence. Here are some simple steps that will keep your blog flowing with visitors all day and all night.
The first step of generating traffic begins with your keyword research. For starters, your blog should have a targeted keyword in the name, in the meta description and in the meta keywords. For example you may want to target a key phrase such as "network marketing strategies." The process of keyword research continues with your blog entries as well. You should be building your posts around a keyword or phrase. To find great keywords and phrases, utilize Google's keyword tool. This word or phrase you select should be used in the title, first sentence and other areas throughout your blog entry. Be sure that you do not stuff your blog post with the targeted word or phrase;however, you can use alternative words and phrases that convey the same meaning.
After you've decided on your targeted word or phrase, focuson on putting sizzle into the title of your blog post. The Headline Analyzer by the Advanced Marketing Institute is a great tool for evaluating the impact of your titles for their Emotional Marketing Value. The higher the EMV score the more likely it is to trigger a response from the reader. Good headline selection give your prospective reader incentive for taking a look at your content.
You will want to notify the social media and social bookmarking sites of your new blog entry. Onlywire is a great tool for simplifying this process. Onlywire will submit your content to 30 social media and bookmarking sites with the click of a button. In addition you will want to link your blog to your Facebook account through Networked Blogs and also link it to your Twitter account. This will allow your followers and friends to be notified each time you post a new entry to your MLM blog.
Next you will want to send out a ping to notify the blogging world of your new entry. At the very least, you should submit your blog entry to pingomatic and pingmyblog. The pinging services will then inform the major blog directories of your new entry. You will also want to submit your RSS feed to several of the top RSS directories, to list your blog's feed.
For lasting results, I'm going to share with you two additional steps that will produce massive long term results. The first is article marketing. Each time you make a blog post, you will want re-write that post and then submit it to several online article directories, via an article submission program. Use targeted keywords and create a high EMV title, just as you did with the original blog entry. Use the keyword of your title for the anchor text of your resource box and link the anchor text back to your orignal blog post. This will identify the original blog post as an authority source on that particular keyword or phrase.
You can also do a similar thing with video marketing. Make a video that is approximately 30 seconds to 2 minutes in length that previews your blog post. Point people back to your blog post by putting the original link into your video description. You will again want to use the keyword or phrase in your video title and create a title with high EMV.
Implement these steps will ensure that your MLM blog never dies of lonliness.
