Rank #1 on Google and Make Sales using a Business Blog
ByStill not sure if having a business blog is all it’s cracked up to be? Think again. It is an effective way to market your business, services, and products. Just don’t use it as a hard-sell strategy. You have to be willing to give a little (information) to get a little (or a lot of sales).
I thought I would share this real-life event with you.
This morning I posted a new article on my blog/podcast site, “Top 20 Ways To Use SharePoint Effectively”.
A special thanks to Karen Reddick of The Red Pen Editor for helping me to re-write this article. I didn’t want to post duplicate content from a similar article that I did on the same subject in a different location. BTW, she’s great to help you repurpose your material.
Anyway, I did an audio podcast on the topic and included it with the blog post, and in the audio I mentioned a special coupon for my SharePoint training video course but they would need to come to the blog site to get it. This is especially crucial for those that subscribe to the podcast, but don’t get around to visiting the website that it’s posted on. About 90% of my podcast listeners come from iTunes.
The blog post was picked up by Google within a few hours of being posted. I’ve received several sales from it so far today.

The Power of Keyword-Rich Domain Names in Book Promotion
Guest Post by Dana Lynn Smith
Many authors choose a website domain name that closely matches the title of their book. That’s great for book promotion purposes. But if your domain name doesn’t include important keywords, you could be missing out on search engine traffic in promoting your book.
According to Search Engine News, a domain name that exactly matches the keywords entered into a search engine will automatically give that domain a significant advantage in the search results. Having keywords in the domain name also increases the chance of the searcher clicking on your link when they see it on the results page.
For example, I purchased the domain name “SellingToLibraries.com” for my book The Savvy Book Marketer’s Guide to Selling Your Book… Continue reading the rest of this article...
Would you like a few tips from an SEO Support VA?
One of the greatest strengths of internet business is the near complete lack of startup costs. While brick-and-mortar business can command thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands, of dollars in startup costs and overheads, an online business can be launched for under $100.
However, there is a hidden currency to online business that often goes ignored: opportunity cost. When you invest in endless SEO campaigns to go nowhere, you are taking time away from potentially more lucrative activities. While SEO is often touted as the ultimate form of traffic — it is 100% free, and significantly more valuable than non-targeted visitors — it can often be an expensive activity in terms of lost income.
