The focus of my blog is to share ideas to help you take your business online, and make money within your business by using a blog. Many business owners already have a business in place, and simply want to sell their existing products and services. Online marketing gives them the tool to expand out frodoocem their local target market.

But there are also many bloggers that start blogging for the fun of it, and slowly build a business from the popularity they receive as a blogger. Dooce.com is such a site. 

The owner, Heather, has been blogging for years about her life – from dating, to marriage, and now to kids – and shares a wide range of ideas and opinions on life. She makes enough now (about $40k per month) to afford her and her husband the lifestyle of making this their "full time" position. Not bad work, eh?

Two things make a site like this so valuable: traffic and content.

As a business owner, no matter what  products or services you sell, these same two items apply to you.

You have to have content to become successful. Write, write, and write some more. Even if you spend the first few months writing, and you’re the only one reading, its imperative that you get the content out there.

Once you have a system in place for growing your content, its time to find readers. You must give them what they want, and supply it in such a manner that they have the desire to come back. Just like you create products for niche markets, your blog must reach out to your target audience, and communicate in a manner that will attract attention.

Take your first step today!

    So, my comments below may not be targeting those above…

    Okay, slam me, I’m a psychologist whose career has been devoted to love and sex, what do I know? For starters…

    My forthcoming book The Real Reasons Men Commit (Dec., Adams Media) gets it right (no fluff!). Yeah, I’m shameless, but everyone who has read an advance copy has felt it to be their “bible” for figuring out if he’s real or just looking to get down.

    What’s more, go to http://www.ButterfliesAgain and check out an awesome compatibility test–that actually works! Any dating site that uses it can send a couple who meet and marry based on the match to a free Honeymoon–the test developers pay!
