HubSpot Internet Marketing Tool

Marketing an online business is a very challenging and time consuming goal. Not having the correct marketing tools can make your challenge a whole lot harder. Top internet marketers are using certain techniques to market their businesses, services or websites. Just because these internet marketers are using these techniques that may be working for them, does not mean they will work for you. As you start, or if you have already started your online marketing, you will go through several changes to see what is working for you. It may take a while for results, or may not. There is no certain trick or magic potion that will work on internet marketing. You just need to find what will work for you.

I have personally used many different types of internet marketing tools. Within these tools, you will see that most of theses programs will have some type of analytics. It will help you to see what is working and what is not. This is very important for you to know as an internet marketer.

I want to introduce a tool that I have been using for a while. It works great. This tool is used to grade your website activity on the internet. It will give you weaknesses and strengths. This tool does not cost you anything to use. But if you want to improve your internet marketing, it does offer a pay version with all the support you need. I do not personally pay for the extra support. But I know it will help if you see any advantages in it. This internet marketing tool is called, HubSpot's Marketing Grader. It works great for me, and I am sure you will find it very useful for you.

Google new navigation interface

I read an article about the new google search interface, which is only in testing mode. Search engine land is  reporting that this new interface has top down navigation with the ability to filter your searches. My understanding is the search options will be located along the left hand side bar. This new feature will most likely push down the organic content even further. Searchers eyes will now be focused on the left side of the search results.

I am a strong user of google+. I really see google+ users totally benefiting on this new google search interface. Which if you still are not on google+, I suggest you get your account set up right now! Keep in mind the new google search interface is only in testing mode. Take a look at the video I have provided for you.  This video will give you more in detail on the new  interface.

Getting Your Blog Noticed

There are two things in the blogging community that powers a blog. The first one is the writer, and the second one is the community in which the blogs function. To make a blog very successful you must get involved within the Bloggers community. By accomplishing this, you must get involved with other bloggers that are already talking about your subject. This involvement leads to more links and more influential bloggers referring to you. If you want to be noticed, and become a respected blogger among'st the community of bloggers then do the following 3 things.


* Leave a forceful and meaningful comment on an influential blog.

* Use someone else's post in one of your posts. Then link to that other person's post in your post.

* Writing about something that is of high relevance to the current event's. People love to read content about what is actually happening in the world at the current time.

Blogging requires people to read your content. So getting involved in the blogging communities will help you in your blogging adventure.

Write For A Blog

For the past few days I have been talking about "How to write like a blogger." Here are the topics I have been covering. The Writer's blog, Writing tips for writers and blogging ideas. Today, I will talk about another technique a blogger uses to help with their blogging.

The technique I will talk about today is called "Guest blogging." Letting other people write on your blog will give you a break when you need it. Not only it can give you a break, it can also attract other attention like bloggers to your blog. Sometimes in return you can also be asked to post as a Guest blogger on their blog.

If you are wondering how to become a guest blogger? Its easy, just ask other bloggers who you regularly comment on, if they would consider writing on your blog as a guest blogger.

If and when you decide to seek out these guest bloggers. Keep in mind that they do not need to post right away. Just keep their information, and when you are ready to use there services then you can contact them. Everybody likes to go on vacation. This would be a perfect time to ask a guest blogger to post to your blog so content is still being added. Also, you may have an interesting idea that requires guest posts. Contact the appropriate blogger for your topic.

As you read more and more blogs. You will see how many bloggers use other bloggers for guest posts.

The Writers Blog

Writing a blog post should represent you as the writer. Every time a reader reads your posts they should have an image of you. This way they can always identify you.

To reach that point with in your readers, you must structure your posts to eliminate road blocks to your readers. You must make sure your readers get your point each and every time. If you want to achieve this, you must make sure all your posts include the Three S's.

Three "S's" to remember to achieve when creating a post.

Writing Posts

Pshew, ok we are done with talking about blogging. Not so fast! For the past few weeks we have talked about different types of blog platforms and setting up your RSS feed. Now we need to cover writing your first post.

For you to get noticed in the bloggers world you need to make your first post perfect. You want to come into the blogging scene as a superstar.

Since we know this will not happen, you want to have fun and make your blogging adventure stress free. I will give you a couple of tips for a first post.

Four key points to keep in mind when starting a first post in a blog.

* Always write from the heart. DO NOT AIM FOR PERFECTION. Just talk about the aspirations of the blog.

* Do not write a post talking about how you do not know what to write. Everybody knows that people have writers block. So you do not need to remind your readers.

* Write a first post that you can later in time look back on. This will remind you why this blog was started in the first place. Always create a time capsule.

* After writing the post, do publish it right away. Do not spend days on editing it. This will just burn you out and may keep you from writing as many times as possible. Live life and just get in there and get dirty.

Writing your first post is not to aim for perfection. It is about just getting it out there. If it is not perfect, that is okay. Blogging is about practice and improvement.

Home Business Blog

Choosing a blog platform can be quite tough. For starters, I would recommend using Blogger.com which is owned by google or wordpress.com. Blogger and wordpress is a basic blogging service that can be set up within minutes and start publishing. With these services they are already set up so you don't have to install anything. For the advance bloggers you can use wordpress.org which is customizable. But until you are familiar with the basics of blogs, I would stick to blogger or wordpress.com.

Five Strengths of blogger and wordpress.com.

* They are easy to use because of there pre-made templates.

* No software has to be installed.

* They are absolutely free. Which in today's economy makes this very exciting.

* Many prebuilt designs are available.

* You are not responsible for maintaining the codes that powers the blog. These updates are done automatically.

Four drawbacks of using Blogger or wordpress.

* No customization to any of these blogs. It's like having a car with the hood shut at all times.

* Do to the fact that these blogs are not part of your website, will cause the blog to be pretty week in SEO.

* Since somebody else is responsible for the coding, this can have a draw back when something goes wrong. It could take hours and even days before your blog is up and running.

Blogger and wordpress.com are great blogs to start out on. But if later down the road you decide to use blogs as your main marketing strategy. You may want to change to a more customizable platform.

Websites For Blogging

First thing you need to do in blogging is choose the best blog platform. Most blogs have the same characteristics in common. Even though all blogs have the same characteristics, there is a wide difference in the platform.

Four characteristics that all blogs have in common.

* All blogs work in the web browser. So this is not something to be concerned with. But then on the other hand, the platform can change the appearance. Depending on the browser.

* Whenever you publish your written material, it will then publish to your blogs web site. Blogs are an excellent tool to use when starting your own business.

* Anytime a visitor visits your blog, they will then have the opportunity to comment on your post. Commenting is what makes a blog different from a standard website.

* Blogs give a visitor a way to subscribe to your posts via RSS. A lot of people do not always visit your site to get information. So if they have an RSS feeder, the information you post will be fed to there reader. There are plenty of RSS feeders out there. If you haven't chosen one yet, I would recommend google reader.

These are just a few characteristics that all blogs have in common. In my next post I will talk about the different types of blogs. So sit tight and wait for my next post.
