An Online Business Needs More Than Good Content On A Blog
When you start your online business blog one good piece of advice is to focus on providing high quality content. This is essential if you want to attract an audience, keep them, and increase the number of readers you have.
However, if you’re in business to make money, and you’re using your blog to do it, you need more than just good content. Your blog needs to be monetised.
An Online Business Needs Quality Products
You are not going to make any money if you don’t provide quality products. Your goal is to sell something, and if you have a high quality blog that you’re adding content to, you want the product to be as good or better than the blog that you’re selling it on.
This would seem to be common sense, but it is amazing how many people are not really promoting quality products on the Internet today.
Most network marketers who have an online business sell affiliate products that will help people by providing training and education. You might notice some of them on this blog.
Quality Blogging Theme
Today it’s common for products to be sold on a blog where the blog is used as a website. It’s important that you’re using a high quality blog theme.
The most common theme and blogging platform used today is WordPress.
There are literally hundreds of WordPress themes you can choose from.
I would suggest that you use a high quality word press theme.
There are many these available online: http://www.elegantthemes.com/
If you prefer you can even have one designed for you. That is what I did for this blog. I outsourced the design to someone else. Click here for details
Its important for your blog to load quickly and be easy for your audience to tour your site. If it isn’t then people will move away to someone else’s.
Lifelong Customers
One of the great things about having a network marketing business is many of your good customers will become distributors with you. However, not all of them will.
Your goal very simply is to value your customers with the goal of having them as lifelong customers. The easiest way to do this is to provide high quality products and follow-up service.
Although we live in a world where most things are done online, don’t be afraid to pick up the phone, or contact your customers via Skype for some personal interaction. In fact, I encourage you to do so.
Sell Something
You can blog all day long and never make any money if you don’t sell something. The best way to do this is to encourage interaction.
Invite people to subscribe to your email list. Interact with them on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Have something to giveaway for free and make it valuable for them.
As you can see there’s a lot that goes into having a successful online business blog.
When you’re blogging, quality content is important, but so are the other things I mentioned here in todays blog post.
