Blogging for MLM Success Part 2 of 3 –How To Setup an Effective Blog

January 20, 2010 |

After reading Blogging for MLM Success Part 1 you are now aware of the underlying reasons why you need to have an successful blog. Yet, what are the specific steps to do it? You don’t want to create a blog just for the sake of having a blog. This can really hurt any previous effort you have done to brand yourself online. If you set up a blog that isn’t high quality, this will leave a damaging impression in the viewers’ mind. Once this impression is made, the requirement on your part to change it will be enormous. It takes about 7-13 seconds to make a first impression with your blog, so keep this in mind while you are creatingyours.

Creating a MLM successful blog can be accomplished a few different ways. The first way, and clearly the easiest, is to pay someone to create it for you. There are expert website designers who make their living creating blogs. The quality of website and the amount charged per site varies greatly. So if you preferto go this route, I would first do some research. Betternetworker.com is a fantastic place to go for references. Even if you do pay someone to form your blog, you will need to take some time later to consider how the site actually works so you are able to sustain it. Other people prefer to set up their blog on their own because it doesn’t involve any monetary expense. This option can take noticeably longer because there is a learning element involved. When creating a blog on your own, your first decision needs to be whether to use a free hosted blog, or to pay for a self-hosting blog. These two options are not the same and will give you different results.

Typically when deciding between paying for something or getting it for free, most people would choose the free version. Now when it comes to blogs, you have to think of your desired outcome. If you want to have a personal website for your friends and family to keep tabs on you, then the free version would suit you just fine. However, if your goal is to build a blog for MLM success, then this without a doubt isn’t the case. You really need to get a self-hosted blog. A free blog won’t give you the customization you need to set yourself apart. What’s more with a free blog, you do not own your blog article posts. Your site is managed by the hosting company, and they have rights to your entire content. If for any reason they feel you have not followed their policies, then your blog may be taken down without warning, and everything will be lost. I personally know someone who this happened to, and I do not wish this upon you.

host your blog. Now this expense is very cheap and usually under $9 a month. The two companies that I would recommend for hosting are GoDaddy or Host Gator. These both have a one step installation setup for a Wordpress blog. I say Wordpress, because this is the most useful blogging platform out there. If you’re going to set up one correctly, you want to use the one with the most options, and the greatest support. However, note that Wordpress has two different options. Wordpress.com is the free site, and Wordpress.org is the self-hosted site.

It’s detail time! If you are ready to start blogging for MLM success, then you now have the awareness to move forward. Yet, like I said, it can be hard if you do not have somewhere to go for help. I created my entire blog on my own. Before makingit, I had never even attempted to setup a site in my life. I had to learn some simple html and css (which I did by searching Google) to create the look I wanted, and because I’m a perfectionist, it took me quite awhile. However, I had the benefit of using a training webinar that was over 1.5 hours of specific steps on exactly how to setup a self-hosted Wordpress blog for optimum success.

So, if you are serious about blogging for MLM success, I would like to help you out. I will give you the same exact training I used for free. Simply visit my Blog and fill in the form. You will be taken directly to the training. No strings attached. This information is extremely valuable, and yours if you choose to take action. However if you have not yet read Part 1 of Blogging for MLM Success - Why and How Does a Blog Work, then you need to read this first.
