Throughout the years, marketing has changed. Blogging is nowadays a must when it comes to branding yourself whilst marketing your business or product.

Should you get a free blog? Or a self-hosted blog?

Good question. Setting up a free blog is easy as ABC.
One can immediately get a free blog from blogging sites such as Blogger and WordPress. However, with a free blog comes a big risk which only a few people know of!

Eventually you will be marketing your own business or product on your blog, so you will get promotional at one point or another. When you have a free blog, you are at the mercy of the free blog’s administrator…

I tasted this whole experience when I first started blogging. I remember myself saying, "Hey, with all initial expenses, why not get a free blog?" This led me to start my own blog at WordPress. I wrote three articles (one of which was promotional) at that time. After a couple of hours I tried to log into my WordPress account to add another article, and to my horror I found out that my WordPress account had been deleted for no given reason! Now that was one crazy situation!

This however did not happen only to me…

After I learned my lesson and got a self-hosted WordPress blog, I was coaching one particular person who wanted to get a free blog. Naturally, I adviced completely against this, but she still insisted she just wanted to try it for free. She eventually got a free blog at WordPress and wrote tens of articles, a couple of which were promotional.

This went on for about a month, until one day she found out her free blog had been deleted as well! This was far worse than my own experience, as her blog was deleted after tens of articles! She also kept no backup of all articles she had written. So basically she had been working for nothing!

Thus, if you are really serious about making money online, you definitely should opt for a self-hosted WordPress Blog.

Why WordPress?

Simple! Using a WordPress blog you will enjoy higher ranking and indexing due to the fact that Google loves blogs, especially WordPress ones.

With your blog ranking higher in Google, you will be able to get targeted leads from all over the web, simply by using article marketing strategies. To give you an example, let us say I write an article on Numis Network on my own blog. Then, using article marketing, I create variations of my article and submit all variations to over 300 article directories using an awesome piece of software. This will create a lot of different content all over the internet, linking back to my own blog through the use of the author resource box. This works for promoting products as well as businesses.

This strategy works 100% because it gets you thousands of targeted leads 24/7 on complete autopilot and rank for various keyword niches.

It is simple to get targeted leads daily, but it all starts with having your own self-hosted WordPress blog.

To get a self-hosted WordPress blog, you have to get a new domain, host it, install WordPress and set it up with all necessary plugins to enhance your blog’s traffic, which leads to more sales and commissions. You should also update your ping list so your blog will spread even further.

As you have clearly seen, a self-hosted WordPress blog extends your money-making possibility worldwide whilst branding you! Now I ask you...Are you looking to make a steady growing income working from home? Are you involved into marketing but you are fighting to keep afloat due to incoming obstacles? If you answered yes, then you are still searching for that magic key. Here is your key to success: create your very own money-making blog today, start blogging daily, and watch the tide rolling towards you with loads of online success! Shine!
