Getting Creative With Your Blog

I manage a few different blogs, and I am no where near a professional writer or creative with the pen (keyboard).  That being the case I often find getting creative with my blog somewhat difficult.

Because of my above mentioned handicap it would be most easy to simply dump the blog idea altogether. But, I’m told that would be the wrong move by every internet marketer alive.  I also find the specific blogs a simple location to address specific ideas, changes, or issues with our various fitness industry programs.

Personalizing your profile address will be helpful in assisting with this goal.

Social Activity = Website Traffic

Social activity equating to website traffic, may bring out significant change of who’s who in where we get our information online.  FaceBook has grown in size far faster than Google ever did.  Possibly more important, average time of user visit make this social network an extreme heavy hitter in the internet world.

How we utilize the social networking platform, is changing the website traffic game as well.

…For a long time if you wanted your business to get found online, you focused on traditional search engines. You made sure your site could get found in Google and Yahoo and other engines.

But gradually, almost imperceptibly at first, people started changing their online behavior. I’ve noticed it with my own sites, where each month traffic from social sites is growing.

According to a Nielsen report (PDF) out just yesterday, “two-thirds of the world’s Internet population visit a social network or blogging site and the sector now accounts for almost 10% of all internet time.”… (Read Rest of Small Biz Trends Article)
