My favorite and most powerful marketing strategy is article marketing. Article marketing creates more free leads for my network marketing business than any other marketing strategy I use, but it has’nt always been like that.To be successful with article marketing you need to use ittogether with a blog. When I first started marketing I thought blogging was a waste of time, today I stand corrected

Here’s why you need a blog. This is the first powerful lesson I learned about the power of a blog.

When I first started marketing online I spent days developing a website then begancreating worthwhile content. I seriously went into a flurry of activity making any type of content i could think of, articles, videos, photos thinking the more I posted the faster my site would get indexed in the search engines..The problem was days went by.

but every time I looked my content was’nt showing up in the search engines. How am I supposed to get traffic if I cannot get listed in google.

My articles and my content were taking forever to show up in the search engines Even when I finally got indexed it was still taking up to a month before my content began to rank and even then I was only getting as high as google page 4 or 5 and this just wasn’t good enough. Regardless of what I did I just could’nt get ranked fast. Talk about frustrating

I was so frustrated that I was almost n the cusp of giving up when I ran into an online marketing aquaintance of mine I told him my predicament and he said “Chris you know you should put your content on a blog,” I looked at him and said “a blog, why’s that, I’ve got this great website” He replied “well “my blog gets indexed and ranked in 15 minutes” In hearing that I nearly fainted. I could not comprehend what I was hearing.

In short he basically said, if you don’t believe me come round to my place and I will show you. So anyway that night I went over to his house and sat in front of his computer and he demonstrated. Here’s what happened, he showed me that his was using a wordpress blog as these have an automatic search engine ping built in. He posted an article to his blog, we genuinely waited less than five minutes then did a search. Bang there was the listing of his new blog article. Not only was it already showing on google, it was ranking on page 2.

Enthralled by what I saw I raced home and immediately registered a domain name and set up a self-hosted word press blog. I posted my first article and it was listed on google within 7 minutes. I have been using my blog as the source of getting traffic ever since and the speed at which I get listed and ranked just keeps on getting better.

The lesson of the story is google loves blogs, so If you want to get seen online start blogging now.
