From Concept to Blog Marketing POWERHOUSE!

Hardly anyone, these days, has not heard of or had some familiarity with blogging. If you are a newbie, welcome to your Internet Market Eye-opener! Even if you have been surfing online for any length of time, and don’t have a concept of blogs and blogging, the question you should be asking yourself is this.

Do you have a clear concept of what a POWERFUL web site marketing and traffic generator a blog really is?

By the time you get done reading this article…you will learn an advanced approach.

Most online bloggers get it that a blog is a tool for communication. It is not, however, until your blog becomes a two-way communication with your visitors that you have entered the Web 2.0 Social Networking Universe.

Here is my POWERBLOG Marketing Strategy of choice.

This POWERBLOG Marketing Strategy assumes you have the basic knowledge to install WordPress to your host provider. If you do not, you will want to use the Free WordPress tutorials or invest in a WordPress Video Training series.

If I directed you to every link for the following resources, it would take several articles. Therefore it is assumed that you have some basic level of internet experience with how blogs work.

Newbies set up free blogs, or pay for month-to-month service. Professional bloggers pay for years at-a-time. I, personally, buy the maximum discount rate, provided by web host provider: 3 years. So, why would you do this? Anyone checking how long you’ve been online will determine you are here to stay. The secondary reason is to get the discount rate, itself, which is substantial, and will almost always give you unlimited domains, unlimited mysql and unlimited bandwidth. Choose a host provider with a full menu of services and a history of reliability and rare downtime.

1. There are many video tutorials on how to FTP upload and install the latest version of WordPress. The self-hosted approach is the only one you will take, if you want to see yourself, and be seen, as an online blogging professional.

2. FTP upload and install the latest version of WordPress. This is the self-hosted approach. It is the only one you will take, if you are serious about building your online blog marketing business.

3. Install Affiliate Template, investing in the unlimited site license.

4. Install at a minimum the following plugins.

* Adsense-Deluxe * Akismet * All-in-One SEO Pack * Anarchy Media Player * Feedburner Feedsmith * Google XML Sitemaps * MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer * Simple CAPTCHA * Sociable * Statpress Reloaded * Traffic Getting SEO PluginTM Free Version * Unique Article Wizard plugin * WordPress Database Backup * wp-cache * WP-PageNavi * WP-Postratings * WP-Postratings Widget * wp-private * WP Auto Tagger This list of plugins should be subject to your constant evaluation and potential replacement, as you continue to study the recommendations of other expert bloggers.

5. After activating all plugins, use the Traffic Getting SEO PluginTM Free Version to perform an amazing number of tweaks, which will optimize your blog for maximum traffic attraction and generation from Google, Web 2.0 and Articles Marketing.

6. Google for Google AdBuzz. Locate a marketer who is giving the software away for free. Install Google AdBuzz on your Desktop. Use Google AdBuzz to research and choose a profitable niche market.

7. Use one of 41 available niche headers that comes with your Affiliate Template for WordPress.

8. Use the UAW (Unique Articles Wizard) plugin to deliver tightly targeted key-word rich articles to your blog. This begins the traffic generation process.

9. Join Unique Articles Wizard and write a minimum of 10 new articles per week. Unique Articles Wizard software will generate human readable article variations into the hundreds and submit them to target article directories, which will, in turn, generate backlinks to your blog, higher google ranking and potentially a tsunami of unique visitors over a period of a few weeks to a few months.

10. Use the amazing built-in features of Affiliate Template to create product reviews and links to your affiliate and resale rights product offerings.

Expand your marketing efforts into forums, classifieds and email marketing (your own mini-course, newsletter or ezine.)

11. Repeat this process for as many niche market blogs as you have time to set up and manage.

This article only scratches the surface of the potential in this multi-pronged internet marketing, web promotion and list-building tactics. This strategy includes

* writing and publishing articles using a very power articles marketing/publishing strategy * writing product reviews – the softsell approach to converting visitors into paying customers * text ad programs (affiliate power ads and Google Adsense)
