Would You Blog For $25,000?

Filed Under Blogging Success

What would it take for you to blog regularly for your business?

Would you do it if someone invested $25,000 into your business?

I opened up my email to this question today from FuelMyBlog.

If you were loaned $25,000 today by Pertuity Direct, what type of online business would you launch?

And instantly I started seeing a whole new business model.

Definitely a blog. blog for 25000

Blogs are becoming one of the most powerful, influential ways of communicating with a mass audience. In a short period of time you can be up and running any type of business on any subject matter.

From there I started thinking about what people need the most right now.

The world is running scared from economic crises. Buying is way down. And yet more people are starting up businesses or additional income streams in masses. I’m contacted daily by someone with a new venture starting up, wondering if I’ll take a look.

So of course everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of every free service out there. Have a Facebook account? You bet. How about Twitter? Of course.

Yet very few people I meet and talk with understand why they have a Facebook account, or how they will use Twitter to market their business.

And talking a bit further reveals many aren’t even sure how they will ever make money with this new venture at all. They don’t have the basic marketing skills down to create a business that will bring in a true, regular income source every month, again and again.

Taking that idea to the next level, I would create a membership site completely run through the blog that would allow people to go beyond a few stabs in the dark at making a business model work, and walking people through the basic marketing strategy and business modeling techniques necessary to become successful at whatever business you choose. Marketing strategies don’t change over time. The tools you use may, but the strategies don’t.

Yet many people simple don’t have a background in creating a successful business. Because of current situations, many are trying it for the first time, and are getting stuck in the process. Let’s head back to the basics, and digest how to run a business successfully from beginning to fruition.

A lot of people are just taking stabs in the dark but that is part of the fun of entrepreneurship. However it depends on your life situation. I wouldn’t recommend that if you are considering quitting your job or have a family to support. But in my case I’m taking stabs but and learning so much along the way, I have no real responsibilities though because I am so young.
