A Basic Blog Marketing Strategy
This is the first of several articles I will post regarding marketing your business with Blogs.
I will cover only a BASIC strategy here and provide more advanced strategies in other articles.

1. Create a FREE Blog for your FFSI business at one of the following services:
   • Blogger.com - (see for example: ffsibiz.blogspot.com/)
   • MSN Spaces - (see for example: spaces.msn.com/members/retirequickly/)
   • Bloglines
   
   
   
2. Get a FREE My Yahoo page and place the RSS feed to your Blog on that page.
   [Click on Add Content... then Add RSS by URL.]
   If using Blogger, you'll get your Site Feed URL by clicking on Settings from your Blogger Dashboard... then, click on Site Feed. Doing this will cause the Yahoo search engine to visit your site and you'll quickly be added to their search engine. I've had my pages indexed in 24 to 48 hours and in a few cases in as little as 3 hours.
   
   
3. Also open a MSN Spaces account and add your RSS feed to that page. From my.msn.com/, click on Add Content... then enter your Site Feed URL into the Search For Content box... and click OK. This will cause the MSN search engine to visit your site and be quickly added to that search engine.
   
   
4. Make a blog post at least every day or less. Click here to see why.
   What are you going to write about? Well, that's entirely up to you. I would suggest perhaps you write about who you are and why you believe FFSI is a good home business. You might share some personal experiences you've had using our services or something you've learned from Kelly. Be sure to include the URL to one of your FFSI web sites in each of your posts.
   If you don't think you can write enough content on a daily basis, there are many free articles out there you can use. Here are some places to get you started:
   • Go Articles
   • Free How-To Money and Success Lessons
   
   
   
5. Ping your blog after every post at Ping-O-Matic.
   
   
6. Place a link and description to your blog on all your websites and out going emails.
   
   
7. Place the feed from your blog on the following website and the directories listed on this page:
