Brand Your Blog!
Anyone that’s serious about earning a living with
an online business should understand the importance of having a
blog in their collection of marketing activities. To deal with
the reality of today’s stiff competition you need an edge. That
edge could be a blog. A blog is the perfect platform for
displaying your best content. It’s not about selling. It’s
about communicating. Think of it like this; if you were to
meet a stranger on the street, and the first thing that came out
of that person’s mouth was a sells pitch, wouldn’t you try your
best to avoid the entire conversation. I know what I would
do, run!
Playback
the same scene, but this time we end up in an inspiring
conversation. Which would most appeal to you, the heavy
duty sales pitch or the inspiring conversation? We all
know the answer to that, of course the inspiring conversation.
That’s what a blog can do for you. It creates an
opportunity for others to get to know you, and even more
importantly, to trust you.
Beside the fact that there is virtually no cost,
marketing is the number one reason to have a blog. The reasons
are simple; it puts a face on your online business. Establishing
your unique personality through your blog is an essential first
step to creating a successful blog campaign. Therefore, it
is essential to gain complete control over the look and feel of
your blog by establishing a brand.
You might ask, what does it mean to brand a blog?
Think of it like Ralph Lauren or Calvin Klein. They are brands.
People buy these brands because it projects what they are
looking for. Apply this concept to you blog. However, it is not
possible to brand your blog and your website without a domain
name or a hosting account.
A uniquely
branded blog could be just the edge you need over competition in
the same niche. A free blog represent “vanilla.” There are
lots of plain blog sites out there. Customization symbolizes
originality. You will never project the persona you’re looking
for with plain vanilla.
You want to
project the feeling of a solid organization, when people visit
your blog, similar to the moment you enter a brick and mortar
establishment that makes a positive statement. The layout
and organization of the site should say, I’m professional and
ready to do business.
