Here are 3 tips to make sure you have the best chance of creating a profitable blog...

Tip #1: Use Wordpress

While there are other options, Wordpress is the best and is continually getting better. Plus with the wide variety of Plug-ins available, you can customize your blog to be VERY effective in the search engines.

Tip # 2: Use Revolution Theme

While there are thousands of free themes available for Wordpress, I would suggest you purchase a theme.

Free themes often have "clunky" code and lack the support of a purchased theme. Plus, Revolution themes look great!

Tip #3: Host Your Own Blog

While you can set blogs up free, I advise you host your own blog. The last thing you want is all your hard work at the mercy of someone else.

There is very cost effective hosting available. I use Hostgator because it is inexpensive and has Fantastico installed in the cPanel which makes installing Wordpress push button simple.

Blogging is not something you do in isolation. When you put up your blog, you become part of the blog community.

And that's great news, because interacting with other bloggers is a great way to drive traffic, increase exposure and establish yourself as a leader in your niche.

MyBlogLog makes tracking everything that happens on your blog AND interacting with other like-minded bloggers drop dead simple.

Learn who visits your blog, where they are coming from, what they click on while there and much more. Plus you can make some friends that help you make your blog popular.

You've just made a great post and you want a lot of people to see it. You need links back to your post, and Trackbacks are an easy way to get them.

Trackbacks used to be a pain, because you had to manually search for the trackback URL and put it in your post when publishing.

Now Trackboosts makes this process simple and automated!

If you don't know about Trackbacks, or want to see how Trackboost can boost your blog traffic with INSTANT backlinks... watch this short video!

This is really cool!

Most bloggers just make a post and... WAIT. They wait for the post to get indexed in the search engines. They wait for someone to visit. And most of the time, they keep on waiting.

Don't just wait around, be proactive. Get in front of the people who would like and can benefit from your post. (Remember what you learned in Authority Black Book?)

This software dramatically boosts traffic while saving you hours of tedious work.

Watch this video that shows you how.

Now my posts don't go unnoticed!

Posting comments on OTHER people's blogs in your niche is a great way to get noticed by both blog owners and their readers.
