Two Great Guys and one Great Company - The Free Blog Factory! http://t.co/6PBheGO
Two Great Guys and one Great Company – The Free Blog Factory!
Coaching small business owners on how to brand themselves using a blog is something I enjoy. I had a lot of fun at the beginning of this process. From sharing information of how to launch a self-hosted WordPress blog; to domain name registration; web hosting; installing themes and showing the business owners practical strategies on how to promote and expand their business. The tough part begins when these same owners call me continuously for every single issue they encounter with their blog. It becomes unproductive for me because some of my customers I performed this service for free; and others I did for an extra buck.
So I decided to increase my price to create client blogs and offer technical support, but unfortunately I was not able to work on other projects. That is until I found Free Blog Factory. At first look I thought it was a service that offered free blogs like myself through some web-hosting company where they can make their money as an affiliate. That was correct, but it was more than that. I heard and read so many awesome reviews from some of my business associates; I started to promote them heavily so I don’t have to do all of the work that I used to before. That was true until I decided to try Free Blog Factory (http://buildyourfreeblog.com/) for myself.
I was completely shocked and I’ll tell you why. The product and service from Free Blog Factory was not just about giving away simple blog. In fact, FBF provides you with 25 videos on how to use the WordPress; a basic Twitter setup; YouTube and Facebook for your business. So the product includes basic social media setup, and better yet, a weekly free live webinar! The support and customer service was amazing, which is one of the most important aspects of any successful business. My thanks to the owners of Free Blog Factory Bradley Will and Russell Yermal, both successful entrepreneurs. Now I don’t have to that with any business owners because everything is taken of with Free Blog Factory!
You get all that I’ve mentioned above with the FREE setup. If you already have a domain name hosted elsewhere, you can still use this service and have them setup your blog with ready contents that you can modify for your niche. You will still have the access to view those training videos. This is really a GREAT bonus for free. The only exception with this option is you will not get the full technical support because your domain is not hosted through their affiliate. This is perfectly fine especially when they have already given you free trainings.
Now if you are a brand new to blogging or you want to register a domain name through Free Blog Factory, then you’ll get the full 24/7 support. Free Blog Factory uses HostGator for your domain. You’ll pay only for the domain name and web hosting. They also offer extra optional products that you can add such as a customized banner for your blog for branding. Now Free Blog Factory has up a new offer for you with nine hours of videos on SEO; how to monetize your blog; create compelling contents, pages, plug-ins, and much more. It is not just the great product and service you will get from Free Blog Factory but, you can also earn and learn by joining their affiliate program.
Here’s a look at the packages (Please right click on the image then select Open Link in New Tab to enlarge it):
Better yet look at these testimonial from the users of Free Blog Factory:
I invite you to take a look at their new product that will end in 12/31/10 and see if this is going to help your business like it’s helping mine. Click here! Blog Freedom Blueprint 4 DAY SPECIAL!! (https://freeblogfactory.com/blueprint)
P.S. I wanted to be up front with you and let you know the above links are my affiliate link. I don’t want you to think I am just trying to make money form you. I am passionate about this product and service and earning money from it is a rewarding and you can do it to. If you don’t feel like it, just go straight to their site and purchase the product. Other than that, I appreciate you for taking your time to read this blog post. :)

How To drive traffic to your Business With Video Marketing for FREE!?
In thinking about an easy fast way to Build Your Brand Online; I’ve come up with some short pointers in a list of tips you can use to drive FREE traffic to your business:
Videos
There are more than 50 video sharing sites and the list is increasing exponentially. The number one video sharing site, of course is YouTube. Don’t limit yourself to YouTube only, though. If you want to create an online presence you must be everywhere. It is like watching one news event on all news networks, all at the same time. Most of them are free to registers; this will help you syndicate your business. Use the following tools to upload your videos:
tubemogul.com
Content
Provide content that has value. Produce short “how to” videos, give tips and advice, a solution to a problem, or provide some education about your business and how it will benefit your target market. Create interviews. If you are going to be in front of the camera, make it natural and don’t make it sound like scripted or robotic. People want to know the real you so be natural; just be you. If you don’t feel like it you can always use power-point if you have PC, or Keynote if you have Mac. The easiest way to market your YouTube videos is to let friends, family members, or coworkers know that you have YouTube videos available for viewing. Most importantly is the call to action: you want your audience to comment, subscribe, share, or reply with a video of their own to create interaction. Select one of the actions only.
You Description Box
Always make sure that you put your site or blog in the the description box. You can add brief bio about yourself or business. Another great opportunity for building a list by putting your capture link in the Description Box as well. Watermark your videos with your logo or website and add another call to action. Also use keywords as tags for your niche only. Don’t use random keywords just to get traffic.
Five Minutes
Keep your videos short. If your videos are too long, they may become boring and you may lose your audience. Your content is important; you want to keep them watching until the end. I highly recommend your videos to be less than five minutes. Every once in a while, depending upon your topic and content, your video may be 10 minutes at most.
Consistency
Make sure you upload videos consistently. It is up to you if you want to do it daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. I highly recommended weekly. Find a comfortable schedule, and stick to it. If you have viewers, just like the “nightly news,” they will come to depend on what you, the “expert,” has to say concerning your niche.
Social Network sites and blog
Post your videos on your blog and social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin, and use call of actions like “comment,” “share,” “give me feedback,” and allow people to rate, comment and embed your videos on their sites and blogs. These “call to actions” will help spread your content, your video, and most importantly, your Brand.

4 Essentials to Beginning Attraction Marketing
1.Understanding Attraction Marketing
Attraction Marketing is basically attracting people to you as a brand. It works by adding authority to your focal niche and providing solutions and information that people want and need. Giving these resources at no cost through E-books, free videos, webinars, complimentary courses and other sources that they can copy or replicate will magnetize them towards your brand or label. This approach will gradually generate a level of trust with your prospects. Given that trust is one major buying motivation, and an important aspect of marketing, you always have to corner your target market by leaving an impression of being trustworthy, reliable, and credible. Once trust levels have been established, building a relationship with them will be easier than you thought.
2. Branding Basics
Branding yourself as a notable authority in your niche will help people find you, and more importantly, look for you. For instance, some label themselves as an “SEO guru” or a “relationship expert” because they know that these labels will connote mastery in their fields. I remember the Head of Google Spam Team, Matt Cutts say “To rank well, build a site so fantastic that it makes you an authority in your niche.” Having passion on your niche will help you talk about it and discuss every aspect with influence and authority. It’s not enough to simply know a lot about it, but you should have the added charisma of making your readers feel that you share the same enthusiasm over something that interests them.
For tips on a more effective blog, please check:Wordpress Checklist
3. Content Counts.
Your contents should be regularly updated, consistently catchy, and persistently informative. You can’t just plague your readers with product selling and marketing. If you have routinely posted one update every week, then stick to that practice so your followers can keep track of you. Use opt-in, wordpress plug-in, capture email or email newsletters. Use Google Alerts for consistency when updating your blog with great content and values. If you are willing to invest, then you may want to try an auto-responder email system like Aweber or the wordpress plug-in called Popup Domination
4. Online Presence
Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Multiply, Friendster, and Linkedin; and social bookmarking sites such as Digg and Delicious will make your presence even stronger within the online radar. You may use namechk for social sites and Onlywire to resubmit your posts on multiple social bookmarking sites. In addition, video distribution and marketing with Tubemogul will also be helpful in your virtual, online existence. Article submission sites, directory listings, and business classifieds are also viable options to get the hype and attention that you’re looking for.
