Hi all,

I just got back from my cruise in the Caribbean and am trying to get caught up.  Sorry I didn’t post last week but my laptop wasn’t being nice to me. LOL.  I had expected to have internet access from the boat.  Oh well.  Thanks for still reading this little blog. I appreciate you

Today I have an interesting story about how blogs can get really good rankings in Google search engine listings.  Even regular web sites can get top rankings with a blog.

I’ve written about this a lot in  Nichework Marketing.  I hope you guys have been paying attention.

In fact in the Nichework Marketing book I wrote: “I insist that you setup a blog“.

I went on to say that I think you should setup a blog even if you have a regular web site.  Why?  Because blogs can be very powerful tools at getting good rankings in the search engines, especially with Google.

Today Jonathan Ledger wrote on his blog about how one of his old sites had lost it’s Google ranking until he started posting to the blog on that web site again.  Then the blog’s rankings went back up and in fact went even higher than they were originally!  For more on the story check out Jonathan’s blog.

This is too funny. I’m getting ready to fly to Puerto Rico tomorrow for my cruise but I just had to share this new with you….

Would you like a #1 Google Ranking?

Go to Google right now and type in the term “Wowzza”.

Who is #1? Me. This little old blog is #1 for the term Wowzza.

This is too funny! The COMPANY web site is only #2. I’m outranking the actual company called Wowzza for their own name!

Wowzza the company has obviously been around longer. I only put my blog post up on April 7. Today is the 26th so in 19 days I’ve been able to go from oblivion to #1. In fact I was able to get to #6 for the term in only 5 days and over the past 2 weeks have climbed to the top.

So how do you do it? Well this is the kind of thing I reveal in Nichework Marketing. It’s one reason why having a blog is so important because you can get blogs to #1!

Would you like to be able to write 1 blog post, spend a little bit of time marketing that post, and get it to #1 in the search engines in less than 3 weeks?

Now let me state… Wowzza is brand new. There are only 54,500 web pages that use the word Wowzza in Google. Yet I’m already #1 out of 54,500.

It isn’t hard if you can put together a blog. This blog has a page rank of 4 and an Alexa rating of 288,612. So it’s not the most powerful site in the world. A top Google page rank is 10 for example. So right now I’m only 4 out of 10.

However if you follow a few simple principles you can really make it pay off.

Keep in mind I’m not doing wowzza as a business. However if I was do you think these stats would help:

In just 16 days:

216 people found this blog searching for “wowzza”
27 found it by typing “wowzza scam”
4 found it with “is wowzza a scam”

That’s what…. 245 who found this blog from Google in 16 days, that’s about 15 people a day finding this blog searching for that term.

Can you imagine if you applied those techniques to your company? Can you imagine 15 people a day finding your web site by doing searches for your company? Can you imagine how many of those you might be able to convert into prospects?

Keep in mind this is all from ONE BLOG POST! I just spent a couple of hours. I wrote the post then I marketed it a bit. I sent it out to my list for them to read. I submitted it to some social networks. That’s it. After that I forgot about it.

Matter of fact I was wondering why it was still attracting so many comments from Wowzza fanatics. Well now I know. It’s because my blog post has now outranked the company web site!

Funny!

Well this is the kind of strategy I explain in my ebook Nichework Marketing. The book is only $19.95. I think it’s well worth the read, especially when you see the kind of results I can achieve with it!

Check out Nichework Marketing. It really is a step by step guide to finding your own niche and generating your own network marketing leads!

Which do you feel is better? A specialist or a generalist?

If you’re sick you first go to a generalist. You go to your general doctor right?

BUT if you’re REALLY sick you don’t go to your general practitioner. You go to a specialist. You find someone who only works with your illness.

When I had throat problems I sought out a Ear Nose and Throat specialist. NO I can’t spell what they really call themselves it’s ontorologist or something? LOL. I’ll never be able to spell that right!

The point is you seek out a specialist right?

And specialists are paid better right?

In your online business would you like to be thought of as a specialist or as a generalist?

Can I tell you a secret, GOOGLE likes specialists too! Google gives specialists preferential treatment and lists them higher in the search engines than generalists!

If you want to be a specialist then you need to pick up my new ebook.

It teaches you how to find your niche and make yourself look like an expert and it even includes about 40 or so ideas for niches to help you get started.

Most of the fast mover bonuses are gone, but if you get there quick you can still qualify for some extra bonuses… Inlcuding 15 minutes of free consulting to help you find your niche. I hope you like it!

I hope we can help you find your niche so you can be a specialist!

Niche Network Marketing launches tomorrow!

Check out this testimonial.

You are at a disadvantage if you don’t have this ebook, and you’re
competing against other MLMers who do. They are much more likely to
stay focused on the right track. Ben explains exactly how to quickly &
easily set up an effective website, even if you have zero tech savvy,
how to get content for that site, and how to market your site. You get
it all, from soup to nuts.

I’m pretty stoked.  All the testimonials have been great.  One guy I approached about being a partner for the book said the book was so good he would not only promote it but he’d consider buying his own copy.  That’s pretty cool considering I’d already showed him a “draft” version of the book!

Stay tuned tomorrow morning for more information on the launch of Nichework Marketing!

Hi All,

Sorry I haven’t been blogging much this week.

I just finished the first draft of Nichework Marketing. I sent copies to a few close personal friends to get their feedback on it.  I’ve started to collect their comments and revise the book one step further.

The goal is to launch the ebook next week.

The training program should launch the following week.

I just setup the community site and the blog for Nichework Marketing and I hope to announce them to you next week as well.

One of the cool features of Nichework Marketing is a scholarship program. We’ll have a contest where 3 people can win  their way into the Nichework Marketing training program. (A $1200 value).

I also expect to have some special discounts for you guys (my loyal readers.)

So that’s what I’ve been up to this week.  How about you?

In my series on niche network marketing I’ve spoken a few times about the importance of having a blog.

Today I’m going to go into more detail on why blogs are superior.

1. Blogs are easy to run
2. Blogs are popular
3. Blogs are easier to get subscribers than a regular web site
4. Blogs require less specialized knowledge or skills
5. Blogs are free and almost every paid web host has easy one click blog software

1. Blogs are easy to run. Blogging software has built into it a mechanism for creating and publishing web pages.  They make it very easy for you to create new web pages.  If you were cutting and pasting in content from an article site like ezinearticles.com it would literally take you two minutes a day to post articles.  It’s as simple as cut and paste.

2. Blogs are extremely popular and a millions of people are avid blog readers.  Not only are they avid blog readers but they actively look for new blogs. In addition there are dozens of web sites that are designed to help you get new subscribers and readers for your blogs.

3. Blogs are easier to get subscribers because they have built in mechanisms for people to subscribe to your blog.  All blogs come with an rss feed which allows people to be notified when you update your blog. They don’t even have to visit your blog, the updates are downloaded automatically.

4. I alluded to this in item #1 but Blogs don’t require a lot of specialized skills.  Most blogs allow you to create and edit blog posts without knowing HTML or FTP or any of this technical stuff.  The interface for writing messages looks  very familiar as they use the same type of icons as Microsoft Word or other familiar programs.  As I said in #1 this is also why it is so easy to setup a blog because you can get your blog up and running without having to take a training course or learn techy stuff.

5. Blogs are free!  You can get a free Google Blogger Blog or a free Wordpress blog. Even if you have your own web site you can use Wordpress.  Most web hosts offer a cpanel for managing your web site, email addresses, etc.  The cpanel usually has a simple one click install of Wordpress built in.  You just tell it the name of your site, your requested username/password and wha-la you have Wordpress up and running!

I’ll go into more depth in the future but I hope this explains some of the basics of why blogs are so powerful and are in many cases superior to your old fashioned web site.  At the very least blogs are usually easier for novices to get up and running.  They don’t required specialized skills and there are a ton of great resources out there to help you get your blog going.

In the next couple of days I’ll tell you more about how to use  your blog and articles to build your niche network marketing site.

Many of you are probably reading my series on picking your network marketing niche, and wondering…

What next?

Next is probably to pick up a good domain name using your keywords and begin working on your web site.

Personally I recommend Hostgator for a web hosting company. The reason is simple. They provide excellent service at a very low price. They also have an easy to use interface for your web sites.

One thing I HIGHLY recommend to anyone is a Wordpress blog. I’ll be going into more details on this soon. The idea with a Wordpress blog is that using Wordpress’s cPanel web hosting you can have a blog setup in about 3 minutes. It’s very easy to do. You don’t need to know HTML or FTP or any of that stuff.

With a blog you have a platform built in that allows you to post articles. Even if you don’t write the articles yourself you can reprint articles from EzineArticles.com and GoArticles.com.

Wordpress is generally considered the best blogging platform and is the one I run all my blogs on. You can start off with the basics and as you learn more about it you can use plugins to extend your blog and add lots of new features.

In my upcoming training series on Wordpress I’ll go into more detail on how to set it up. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is.

Tomorrow I’ll write more about why to use a blog for your niche network marketing site.

Disagree with me? Let me hear why by leaving a comment!
