Blogging is an excellent way to develop a win-win relationship with your subscribers.  A win-win relationship is one where all the parties involved are benefiting.  The strategy of this type of blog is not to sell a specific product or service, but to develop relationships with the subscribers.  The premise is that you provide valuable content to your readers.

Your blog must truly provide an outstanding resource for your target market.  You could do a blog on sports, trivial, jokes or anything that you feel would be of interest to other people.  The main reason to make a great blog is the independence of owning and being in charge of your marketing list. The leads coming into your auto responder are not yours so if the company terminate the relationship. You would be temporarily without that stream of income until you find another home internet business opportunity.

The home internet business opportunity company that you are working with may be very restrictive at times. Your rights to market the product or service may be taken away at any time. A self hosted blog with a subscription list is the best way to prevent your income from being interrupted.  The majority of home internet business opportunity set you up with a replicated site and generic auto responder system. These tools are great for branding the company and do nothing for You Inc.

You may set up You Inc. very easily especially since the expenses required to set up your blog is minimal.  You will need a domain name, hosting company and an auto responder.  These costs are minimal in comparison to the value derived from owning your blog.  Your blog is your real piece of real estate on the web.  Your list is your only asset that is portable and the more your list grows the more valuable your asset becomes.

Attraction Marketing is based on the premise that if people trust you they would be more prone to business with you.  Your blog is a passive way to convert subscribers to sales.  The actual content of the blog must not be sale driven. The premise of the blog is to provide valuable content and if your blog becomes more sales oriented, then people might opt out of your list.

The techniques above would allow your video to rank high in the Search Engines.  When you perform a Google (or other search engines) keywords search of anything on the internet.   There is a great possibility that at least one video will be above the fold for any keyword entered on the organic (free side) of the page.  Google likes videos so expanding your web marketing strategies to your video marketing will fully optimized your marketing research on your keywords.  The odds are that you did some keywords research before producing your video.  When your have a completed product, then it is time to follow the steps outlined above.

You want to write keyword rich articles preferably on ezinearticles.com because Google also loves them.  When Google loves a certain media it tends to get rank higher.   Ezinearticles will also have articles on that first page with the video.  Ezinearticles edits every article before it is published and since Google is always looking for relevant content the Google bots frequently visit ezinearticles.  Check out my article on Articlewriting .

You have a choice whether you want to do a blog post or the article first.  You may use the same article on your blog that you post on Ezinearticle.com.  If you decide to post your article in another directory then you would want to rewrite the original.  I find that a Dictionary with a Thesaurus is very helpful here.  Ping it on Pingomatic.com to let the search engines know that you have new content on your blog.

Google loves Squidoo.com, which is a free service that allows you to make an unlimited number of web pages on any subject you want.  The rules of using self serving links are very flexible, unlike that for Article writing.   Squidoo lenses appear on the organic side of first page of a keyword search.  Also Make a Hub on HubPages.com for the same reasons given for Squidoo lenses.

Social Bookmark everything your have on Digg, Delicious and other social book marking site.

Syndicating to all the social networks that you are associated would be the capping of a job well done.  You may set up the entire process automatically on Facebook, Twitter etc.  You may also use onlywire.com which will syndicate to all your Web 2.0 Medias automatically.

Keep a look out for my post that I will break down each direct marketing strategy in depth.
