I recently set up this blog and I wish I had set it up a long time ago. A blog is a great way to introduce yourself, your business, and your interests to the world and to share information with others who are interested in your topic.

Also, as a shopper online, I look for information about the marketer so I know who I’m buying from. I look for a picture, a story or other information so I know a little about who is promoting the product.

You really should beware of websites that have no contact information such as an email, support link, phone number or business name etc.

As a marketer online, you may have several websites promoting a variety of products. The blog is then used as a vehicle to bring all of your products or websites together. You can promote your blog URL that includes your About Me page and a list of all or most of the products that you promote.

The blog can also be used like a newsletter. When people sign up to be on your blog list, they will receive an email with the link to your blog whenever you have updates to your posts. Your blog visitors can easily keep up with what’s going on in your world or on the subject that you write about.

I received some sound advice from the Founder of Global NPN, Geoff Stephen; he says, ‘sell yourself first, then recommend your products.’

That is an excellent reason to have a blog.
