If you want to generate your own leads, create your own blog or use a system like MyLeadSystemPRO (MLSP). MLSP has sales funnels and plenty of training. Hence, you can grow your business by creating your own leads list from a niche market. Building a blog from scratch takes time and some SEO training. MLSP does offer good training calls and you will learn a lot.
The MLSP system and your blog go hand in hand. They work together and compliment each other very well. Setting up a blog is easy even if you have no experience, but you’ve got a lot of steps to go through. WordPress is the best place to set your blog up. It is easy to navigate and get your blog started. Here are some tips if you are just beginning.
First, think of your URL name.
Second, go to godaddy.com to register your domain name. Have a few in mind in case it is already taken.
Third, join wordpress and set it.
Next, you’ll need to host your blog. I hosted with HostGator.com with the Hatchling membership level.
HostGator can help and they have a great chat line.
Getting the blog ready
Next, log into your wordpress blog with your username and password. Learn to navigate with the tabs of the left hand side in your dashboard. Under the Appearance tab, you’ll want to pick your theme. You can choose from the basic themes, or install new ones, this is free and easy. After you’ve installed your theme, you’ll want to get your widgets set up. Widgets give you the ability to add text to the left or right or bottom areas of your blog. You can put in affiliate banners or ads there too. Don’t fill up too much on ads though, it doesn’t look that good.
Next, you’ll need some plugins so that you can do more on your blog. Some great plugins to try are the All in One SEO Pack (helps with search engine optimization) and Add This Social Bookmarking Widget (allows readers to bookmark the page). To install, simply click on “Plugins” on your dashboard and add new. Search for the name of the plugin and click install. Then click activate. Sometimes there is an extra step but no big deal.
This sounds like too much work,Michelle! I want a blog system that is quick and easy!
