I attend a lot of training and last night Ray Higdon was a guest of Tanya Aliza on her Blogging Mastery Weekly Webinar. One of the things that Ray asked us to do was a blog post on 3 things we got out of the training. Well, being the rebel that I am I chose 4 things instead.
There is a lot more to blogging that we need to know besides the 4 things I talk about in the video below but these are 4 key things that I hold on to and ones that I believe will help you if you are using a blog for your business.
One of the things that Ray Higdon reminded us of was that your blog has one purpose – TO BUILD YOUR LIST. Its not enough to spend a lot of time writing and producing great blog posts if you are not capitalising on that by growing the people on your list. I write on my blog to educate, train and share everything to help people learn what they need to know when running their own home based business.
Having a blog is one of the vehicles I use to get a message across to my readers and to give me an online presence.
As Ray said, we don’t own Social Media, You Tube etc but we do own our blogs. Its one place we have a measure of control over and that is why I like using mine so much.
I hope you got some value out of the video and the post in general…… that is always my intention. Please feel free to Like, Comment and Share it around if you did.
My FREE giveaway is below this blog post (purple optin box) Its a Free audio and contains the first three chapters of my unpublished ebook “The Simple Guide To Working Online”. Go grab it. I was going to sell it but I am now giving it away for free to my loyal readers.
Warmest Regards

Hi Lynda,
I love your blog and what it’s about! I blog from paradise – domain name ;) – so we are 2 peas in the blogging and traveling pod.
I dig Ray. The man rocks! Agreed on each point. I put my kisser on my banner and I post selfies along my sidebar to really drill the point home. I’ve not seen many do this and I also post each location under the image. Ya know, to prove where I’ve blogged from paradise….and unless I’m really good with Photo shop I had to be there lol!
That giveaway helps for listing building and giving away contact information is a gem too. I’ll start doing that going forward; even though folks can see my about me page, and can contact me via that page, having a quick and easy email address to access via each post builds those bonds pronto.
Power point too about branding. We own our blogs. Which is why I spend so much time on mine, and on commenting, on other blogs. We all own, we don’t rent. No squatting here ;)
Thanks for sharing Lynda, and I look forward to your future updates. Bookmarked!
Ryan
Hello Ryan,
Thank you so much for your comments. I know you blog a lot so getting some praise from you means a great deal to me. You gave me a couple of tips in your comments too, especially putting locations under your photos. I am glad you got some tips from it. You are right Ray does rock. I am doing his Top Earner Success School at the moment and getting a lot out of it. He is passionate about blogging. Thanks again especially for bookmarking my site. Lynda
