Blogs are most ideal when first starting out online. If you're not familiar with blogs, maybe you have your own Facebook, MySpace or some other social marketing page. Well, ultimately they're similar, only'blogs are used ideally for expressing ones ideas and opinions on things held most dear to the author. As of late, there has been a surge in the amount of people using blogs as they've become aware of the great effect it can have on your online home business.

A blog can be used to communicate with a buyer when launching a new product or new website. Search engines tend to be 'Blog Friendly' so it's much easier to rank high amongst the top search engines (Google, MSN and Yahoo). From my experience, I've seen instances were it has taken a user up to 3 months for them to get their site indexed by a major search engine, in the same instance, people have been able to get their site indexed within a mere 4 days while utilising the power of a blog.

Personally, I was completely shocked when I discovered such information. I came to the conclusion that, if I could get a blog indexed within such a small period of time, the amount of money I could potentially make would be endless. So I went ahead and started a whole bunch of blogs on different subjects, all of which are now indexed in the major search engines.

Blogging in essence is branding. It is your objective to make your audience see your expertise through your own unique blogging personality. It also enables you to express your unique business style within the market place and demonstrate clearly how you're different from all your competitors.
