A major part of your online success blueprint will center around your blog, which I recommend be a Wordpress blog. Your blog is the central clearing house for your online activities and serves a number of specific purposes.
Here are the major ones:1. Your Blog Helps You Build Your List Quickly and E#ciently
Your blog"s primary purpose is to help you efficiently build your list of followers.
Over time you will create many different online pathways that people will use to find your blog. Once they arrive you need to give them a good reason to join your mailing list and become part of your community.
If you continue to provide your followers with helpful advice that they can use to advance towards their own goals, they will remain your loyal followers for a long time.For example this course serves as the initial incentive for someone to subscribe to my mailing list on my blog. I make the signup form where visitors request their copy a prominent part of the site. It"s “above the fold” where every visitor can see it. I asked my blog designers to give the signup form a lot of “eye gravity” (as online marketer Alex Mandossian likes to say) for this reason.
I typically will include the signup form in my blog posts as well. I do everything I can to make sure that anyone who wants to join can do so easily.I also provide an obvious link to my RSS feed for anyone who prefers to get updates from me that way instead of through email.
