In the offline world,the importance of public image, credibility or whatever word you will coin together is well known that millions are being expended yearly to either build or maintain market presence.

Online,many strategies and schemes are being employed by both the big and small firms for the purpose but all, blogging stands out.

Blogging can be free(if you choose), and it can generate lots of web traffic and get your name out.

Ok,let's review basic strategies to make your blog a success.

Do you have an internet business or looking to get the word out about something? A blog is the perfect way to do it.

A blog is an easy way to build a large presence on the internet without spending any money. In fact you can make your blog work for you. The first step is to sign up somewhere that you can have a blog.

I recommend using blogger.com, which is owned by google. Its easy to use with little computer experience. You can sign up at blogger.com

Pick a specific niche you will use to target with your blog, like make money, relationship, product creation or learning computer languages. Whatever it is that you sell you can blog about it.

The more content you post on your blog, the more your blog will turn up in search engines.

My experience has been that blog posts on blogger.com come up pretty quickly in google. To keep readers interested, focus on quality rather than quantity, but post on a regular basis.

Set a goal with a minimum of posting twice a week. But posting 3-5 times per week is better-but again you want to focus on quality.

Its better to post 2 times per week writing content that has high value for your audience, as opposed to posting daily with useless blurbs or information people can find anywhere.

Be patient.It will take time for the posts to begin to attract attention, but if you write posts with relevant content for your audience, your blog will attract attention easily.

Spice up your posts by adding photographs to some posts. Make some posts short, others long.

Write original content most of the time, but mix it up by calling attention to relevant news items or videos on Youtube etc.

Keep your readers interested and make them want to spend a long time on your blog.

Hey,don't just sit there and use the default template provided by blogger,wordpress or whichever blog you chose,to generate the appearance of your blog.

Go on and modify fonts, colors, add menus and more. Enlarge the fonts, and choose colors that stand out well on the screen.

Add menus to help your readers navigate your blog and link to other websites (some of which may be your own where you sell stuff).

The nicer and more readable your blog looks, the more readers it will attract.

Let your readers comment on the posts and email postings to their friends. You can find out how to do this on the blogger.com web site.

By allowing these two options, you not only provide stuff to read, but you start to build a community that's going to grow with time.

And let readers subscribe to your blog. This will alert them when you have a new post.

As well use the ping services like the one available at http://www.pingomatic.com to alert search engines and blog engines when you have new post(s).

And now monetize your blog. Consider becoming a google adsence,bidvertizer and clickbank affiliate and adding links to publish ads that are related to your blog topic.

You can earn large commissions on clickbank (75% per sale is typical) and many of the products are actually high quality.

And now comes the issue of generating traffic to your blogsites.
