So what is it, and why do it? 

Small business blog marketing means blogging about your business. It definitely is a great tool that you should use to get your business out there and known by others.

However, you will need to be patient because it is a long process that will require much of your attention. Just because you have a blog does not mean that someone is going to find it and read it. You are going to have to make it known.

If you have a website for your business, you can link your blog to it and that will let those who know of your business and website know about your blog as well.

Anyone can do it! 

Blog marketing is something that anyone can do. Having a blog and keeping it up to date with the latest information is not hard. All you need to have is a plan and you will be set to market any type of business from your blog.

Whether you are selling a product or a service, it does not matter. A blog that is marketed the right way will be beneficial to any business, whatever it may be.

And hey - do you know enough about the topic to add a lens of your own....?

So how do I do it? 

When you are marketing a blog, you pretty much do it the same way that you would market a website. It is going to need keywords and content.

You can write the content yourself, or pay someone else to write it for you. That part is totally up to you. However, you will want to be sure that the content is decent and something that your readers will want to read. This will keep them coming back. Make sure that the content is written from special keywords that you choose.

You will also want to become familiar with SEO which is Search Engine Optimization. SEO will help you to optimize your blog to get a better ranking with the search engines.

Link Exchanges 

Once you have chosen the keywords, and gotten some content published on your blog, you will be ready to get it out there some more.

Link exchanges are wonderful for marketing your small business blog. You want to try and exchange links with sites that are relevant to yours, but not in direct competition.

If you try to exchange links with sites in competition with yours, you are going to find that many of them will turn you down in fear of losing business to you.

Making Money Blogging? 

Research on HiddenSearch!

Paid Directories 

Paid directories are a big part of small business blog marketing. You can pay some directories to list your blog URL in their directory under the specific category that it falls under.

However, please note that some of these have specific qualifications that you must have to get in. Follow all of the application steps, and you should be ok.

Just do not try to submit your blog to a directory that it does not qualify for, or fit in.

Blogging eBooks on eBay 

Are you a glutton for ebooks? I wouldn't recommend you spend any more money on an ebook if the last one you bought is sitting on your computer right now unread, but if you want to check out some of the ones on ebay (they do have good info, but you just have to READ them!), here is a live feed.

Comments 

Another important thing to remember when you are into small business blog marketing is that if anyone leaves you a comment on your blog, you should acknowledge it and respond.

You can also comment on other blogs that are relevant to yours, and leave a link to your blog as well.

This will help bring in visitors to your blog, and you will begin to see more and more traffic.

Recommended Reading: Naked Conversations 

I read the first 20 pages of this book standing in the bookstore, and bought it immediately afterwards. I love reading it out loud because it is so well written.

This book is about how blogging is changing the way customers think about businesses. If you're not looking for this kind of read, but instead blog just for fun, this book may not be the one for you. But I promise you, it IS a good read!

If the title of this book sounds interesting to you then you should read this. If not, then don't. I recommend it!

Don't give up! 

Small business blog marketing is not rocket science - once you know what you are doing! However, someone that has never marketed a single thing before may have problems.

Just be persistent, and don't give up.

Great way to earn extra money from your blog 

Earn money from other people's auctions on ebay, even if you sell nothing

Build A Niche Store. This is, by far, the greatest tool for making money from ebay and using your niche audience to profit.

With this tool you can create up to 28,926 different niche stores, selling ANYTHING that is for sale on ebay.

And if it's selling on ebay, it might as well earn you money! You don't ever have to list a single item or deal with a single customer.

Build your niche stores, people go to ebay through your store, and ebay pay YOU up to 65% of THEIR profits!

...the ebay affiliates who earn over $100,000 a month? They have their own niche stores. But this niche store creator thingy makes it so much easier for you.

I recommend: Go Get It!
