It will continue to grow… as technology evolves you’ll find it more and more common to see something like a blog almost everywhere. It’s the way we connect …. and now do business.

The internet is continuing to evolve. Blogging has developed into a major part of marketing, either for internet business or brick and mortar. I am curious as to whether you feel if the impact of blogging has changed over the past two years. Is it still a relevant as it used to be, or is it getting to be more relevant?

Thanks for your insight.

So as part of your blog building process, you were more interested in building traffic via social bookmarking than by optimizing keywords for organic search traffic?

If you’re a company without a blog, you’re making a huge mistake. Having a blog for your company or website will allow you to widen your customer database. Businesses that neglect using the web are really just shooting themselves in the foot by taking so long.

Blogs are so vital to all companies these days. Without a blog a business can lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential revenue over its lifetime which is a crazy amount.

The bad thing is though is that so many businesses are still neglecting the web (although I guess that leaves more potential clients to develop for)

Go to digg.com and check out the articles that come on the front page… usually “list” formats do well or breaking news. Also, in order to get on the front page, you would probably need to find a powerful user to submit your info.

Not only is it a plus…it’s the WHOLE THING. If there’s no passion in what you’re writing, consider your content garbage today, tomorrow, or in a few days (eventually). Blog about what you like…not what others like necessarily.

Yeah….new bloggers get caught it with trying to re-create mainstream media and then eventually figure out that it’s damn near impossible. Be the master of your own domain, not everyone elses.

I had a very big mistake when I started to blog 2 years ago. I worried If I could make money from there so that I just followed the other to write some hot trend news and just got nothing. Yet after I changed my mind to write about my hobby, I can drive my revenue rapidly from several ads programs.

For me, just blog what you really like, it will return awesome then. CMIIW.

Of course you have to have your own domain. And important with blog is the content, make sure that the readers benefit from you write up. Passion in writing is also a plus.

I’ve always thought that the only people reading Internet market blogs are other Internet marketing people. I target old guys that run service businesses like gutter companies, etc.

The best place to find them is playing golf…

Right, you’re not necessarily changing their mind to forcefully think a certain way or anything.

And the nice thing about bloging is that you realize that you are helping those who want help (have sought you out), and not trying to convert people to other ways of thinking. Not that there isn’t controversy but trying to help someone who doesn’t want help is where most people get hurt.

I think writing about your experience as a up and coming entrepreneur is a great idea. Whether it helps someone or not, at least you’ll be able to take your thoughts and put them in front of you visually. Plus you may also get some feedback from people that may help you… or even build connections with people that may help you out in the future.

Hi Neil,

I came across your name a few times on Mixergy and finally I stumbled upon your blog. I love your style of writing; especially because it sounds conversational and I can relate to it.

The reason for this comment is simple. I am constantly trying to put my ideas to action. I’ve always been thinking business, so I jump into trying concepts to see how it works. I just tried an idea this weekend and broke even, learning a bunch of things along the way.
My question is this: I want to write about what I am experiencing in my effort to become an entrepreneur. Should I be blogging about it or just writing to myself? I would love to share my experiences but I don’t know if it would be of help to anyone out there..

Motivation… passion… just doing what you love is what you’ll need to find. Otherwise you’ll just be one miserable person.

Passion is also the thing that will keep you going when you are tired and or discouraged.

Thanks.

Maybe you should blog about being such a horrible writer and then websites and blogs that you’re studying to become better. Jay, start off with removing that limiting belief of yours… I’m sure your writing is great… just find a topic and stick with it.

Hey Neil,

The only reason I haven’t started blogging is because I don’t have much to say about this stuff like you do.

You’re experience and knowledge sort of transcend it, and I’m a HORRIBLE writer, which isn’t saying much as I rarely write.

Sincerely,
Jay Jalodomisa

It takes me 5-6 hours sometimes to write 1 of my blog articles. Blogging isn’t easy, but if you do a great job, then you’ll see better and amazing results.
