WordPress is the hottest blogging platform out there today. What is a blogging "platform"? That is a service that provides the tools, sites and templates to create your own blog so you can have your own website up and running in minutes. Blogging is a powerful tool for spreading information and networking with others...and it's totally free. Have you discovered the fun and profitability of blogging yet? After you read this, you will.
On a recent poll I read, 60% or more of people that surf the web get their information from blogs. The reason for this is the popularity of blogs and their inclusion in the search results of the search engines. Google loves blogs. Why? Because the search engines need to provide their customers (searchers) with the most up to date material they can or they will search elsewhere. In other words, Google loves fresh content! Who wants to visit a website with 3 year old information?
Blogs by their very nature have the freshest content. Most blogs are posted anywhere from once a week to everyday, giving the latest in news, fashion, celebrity gossip, images...you name it! Google knows that this is the kind of activity that makes the Internet fun and relevant. When you have your own blog, you too can quickly get a piece of this activity. You can promote your art, teach others techniques or even sell your art right on the blog.
Learning to blog is pretty easy when you know what to do. The proper training can have your blog up in minutes and starting to reach people from all over the globe the same day. There are secrets to making blogging as effective and active as possible that anyone can learn for next to nothing as an investment. Investing in the proper training will avoid wasting your time and turn any part time artist or hobbyist into a full time online money maker.
