If you are a network marketer you need to get into the 21st Century and start a blog. You can fight against the fast moving technology, but the reality is if you do not have a website, you will be fighting a losing battle against the web momentum.

If you want to stand any sort of a chance of winning as a network marketer you must start a blog. But not just any blog. It must be a proper blog that is presentable, easy to navigate, and one that provides heaps of value. To start with, you must be using a wordpress blog and have host it on your own hosting space. This is easy with the plethora of affordable hosting such as Hostgator.

Next, you will need to register your own domain name. Using a domain name that has your name is best because in network marketing, you need to market YOURSELF and not your network marketing company. i.e. if you name was John Smith then JohnSmith dot com is a good choice.

You dont need a website that talks like an Amway encyclopedia because Wikipedia or their MAIN Amway website has it covered. You dont need to create another info site about it but you should create a blog that sells you as a marketer. That is the first and most important tip for any network marketing blogger.

You must also be prepared to post 3 articles a week. Of course, you do not need to post long essays like the ones you do in primary or grade school. People who go online want information fast and instant, just like instant noodles. Short posts are good and when you spread out your long stories into short posts, it creates the habit that keeps your readers or blog subscribers coming back for more and more.

When selecting a good blog theme, you must remember to have a theme that allows easy scrolling and navigation. A good tip is to select a blog theme that lines the sidebar on the right of the theme. One very good reason why it is advisable is because Google tends to scan the blogs content from left to right.

Blog posts are all indexed separately. Collectively, each of your blog posts can get traffic cumulatively exceeding the main home page. But if your side bar is on your left, Google will wind up reading the SAME content (the sidebar) over and over again since it scans from left to right. And duplicate content is bad news.

In closing, if you are not a good writer, then you always have the option of outsourcing your blog updates to a ghostwriter or ghost blogger or you can resort to using pictures, videos, podcasts or other types of media to convey your message. Do not be in a state of paralysis by analysis. Just get into action and get started.
