Living Life Abundantly

If you sit down and look at your local newspaper then chances are you will have or have already seen a press release that was put out by a big company. You sit there and think to yourself “I wish my business could do that.” The good news is that your business can be just like the big boys in that regard. Many companies never realize that they have a wonderful marketing tool at their disposal when it comes to the press release.

Yes the big companies have long since mastered the art of writing the press release. If you are willing to take a chance and try new things then you too can master this and compete on a whole new level of business.

The big advantage to this type of marketing is that it will get your company name out there and as a result will allow you to give people insight as to what all you can offer them as far as products is concerned. Now if you are sitting there saying that your a small business and don’t have anything to say then you are not looking at the bigger picture. You don’t have to announce a massive news event in order to put a press release out. It can be as big an event as you want it to be or as small as you want.

What kind of event would you want to put a press release out for, here are some examples. Announce something that is happening at your company. Maybe you are celebrating the hire of a new HR person. Maybe you want to celebrate an anniversary or a new product line. These are just a few examples of events you would put a press release out for. No matter how small you may think something is you can always make a event out of it and use it in your company’s marketing.

A good idea to see just how effective your release truly is. Have a contest, offer a free product to the winner, you will be shocked at the large number of entries that you will receive. In the long run just make it a point to follow up with any and all leads that you get.

Maybe you are offering a class at your company then this is the right time for a press release. This will show people that you are excited about your business and are wanting to get other people to share in your excitement as well. Maybe you are having an annual sale that you want the entire world to know about then you will issue a press release. The best part of a press release is it is practically free marketing for your business. This will be a tool that if you use it wisely will pay off for a long time to come in the future. Just make sure that you harness the raw power that a good press release has and use it to your full advantage to get effective marketing.

I like blogs that entertain, educate, and empower. A good blog keeps me coming back for more. I like blogs that stimulate my mind, make me go hmmmmm, and inspire me to greatness.

When I’m having a tough day I need a blog that will make me laugh so hard (rotflmao) that I laugh myself to tears. I appreciate a blog that provides detailed instructions on how to get something done that pertains to whatever I’m doing. I love a blog that scratches my smart aleck (smart ass) itch with lots of sarcasm and wit. When I’m totally overloaded with my reality and need a quick escape, I enjoy the mindless entertainment of a juicy celebrity gossip blog.

Learning to blog can be a frustrating process but if you are an entrepreneur looking to establish an Internet presence, blogging is a must. According to recent studies:

→ More than 147 million Americans use the Internet.
→ 22 of the 100 most popular websites in the world are blogs.
→ Over 12 million American adults currently maintain a blog.
→ Over 57 million Americans read blogs.
→ Blog readers average 23 hours online each week.
→ 51% of blog readers shop online.

Are you beginning to understand the power of blogging? Some people learn how to blog by trial and error. People that are serious about blogging learn from experienced bloggers. Blogging has become an effective tool for marketing, promoting, activism, self expression, sharing information, and heightening awareness.

I think that every entrepreneur should take the time and make the investment in learning how to blog. I’ll be honest with you. When it comes to blogging, there is so much to learn. I’m still learning (daily). However, just as there is much to learn, there is much gain, especially for entrepreneurs!

One of my best friends started a business last year and asked me to help her set up a blog. She’s an attorney and doesn’t have a lot of time for trial and error methods. She has committed herself to learning as much about blogging as possible. Not to toot my own horn or anything…but with my help, her blog is not only doing extremely well (she’s won some awards, gotten rave reviews, received offers from advertisers, and has a Google PageRank of 3). She has also started 3 other blogs!

If you are an entrepreneur here is what you need to know about blogging:

• How to Choose A Domain Name
• Which Blogging Platform to Use
• How to Set Up Your Blog
• How to Update Your Blog
• Which Plugins to Use
• How to Create Content
• How to Drive Traffic to Your Blog
• How to Use Social Bookmarking
• How and When to Write a Press Release
• How to Increase Your Blogs Rankings
• How to Monetize Your Blog
• How to Use RSS

Don’t let this list intimidate you. If you have the time and patience to learn about blogging, there are several books, online courses, and systems that will guide you through the process. Last week I had an opportunity to review a powerful training system for aspiring bloggers that provides all of the aforementioned and more. I wish the information was available when I first started blogging…it would’ve saved me some time and frustration. Check it out Here.

I also suggest exploring my list of Top 50 Best Blogs to get an idea of what experienced bloggers are doing.

Many of these bloggers offer tutorials and advice on blogging.

I have learned a great deal about blogging from these bloggers, from books, webinars, online courses, trial and error, and independent research.

As I said before, I’m still learning.
