Yeah, it’s definitely a good thing to target those who aren’t in the webspace. Big market.

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….

You’re the one who inspired me to blog so I’d like to just say thank you Neill!!

I blog because I truly enjoy it and I want to grow as a writer. When I was in 10th grade, my English teacher told me that I should go to college for journalism. She said this because of the content that I wrote in my daily journal that she made us write.

I never went to college for journalism but, what she told me has always stuck in my head and gave me the belief that I am a good writer. I am thankful to her for that!

That’s interesting that you started blogging to generate clients, but didn’t see results until you challenged someone that didn’t believe in SEO. That is pretty awesome and I think I’m going to use that piece of advice for my start up MyFitSolution.com. Thanks Neil.

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.

By: Neil Patel

Neil Patel — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 01:06:16 +0000

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.

Neil.. how do you tailor your content for social media like Digg?? Some advice or a post on this would be great.

This should be in “Blogging for Dummies”! Great Job! How did you create this blog? I really like the designs of all your sites. Who created it?

That’s fantastic!!! Don’t limit it to just that criteria… I’m sure there are several other sources for you to choose from.

Thank’s bud, glad you’re enjoying it. I’m a create of habit and love the comment setup I currently have.

Well it’s not just a simple… you need practice and lot’s of it. You’ll make a lot of mistakes when you write, but it’ll help you move forward.

The best place to find them is playing golf…

“I couldn’t write well” yeah that’s my problem to build blog, i do not how to write very well, in my opinion for build a blog is “just Do it” because nothing to lose for blogging, we can get many experience in blogging, just my 2 cent

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.
