In this article we are going to take a quick look at even more free ways to get free traffic to your blog. The simple truth of the matter is this: Most blogs (and the bloggers behind them) will NEVER make enough money from their efforts to buy their family ONE nice dinner at the local diner. For all their pomp, pontificating and circumstance, your favorite blogger is most likely broke! (Or at least relative to the income they derive from their favorite pastime) Let's look at why - and watch as I give you a few FREE and easy ways to make sure you aren't one of them.

Cast a Wide Net

The truth is, if you are reading this article, you are most likely someone who is trying to break into the blogging world as a professional endeavor. You want to turn your PASSION, into profit...rather than simply sharing a few trite thoughts about the world, and your place within it. That said - you need to grow a larger base of readers, and content. How do you do this? Simple. Leverage and Software!

Which Blog are YOU Stalking?

The easiest way to get the word out, and do it fast, is to use a simple free tool like bloglines to aggregate and collect all of the cool content, blogs, and feeds that are relevant to your industry. Load them all up, and every morning, as they updated, stop by and comment on the new posts. Or alternatively, have someone do it for you. As a tertiary option, use a free browser like FLOCK and the "blogthis" function to add THEIR content to YOUR blog, with a perfectly formatted and attributed link back to them in the footer of your post.

What does this do? Very simply - they will SEE incoming links coming from yours to theirs and be much more likely to read YOUR blog regularly, refer their readers to you, etc. Of course when you choose the first option, your comments would be linking to your blog anyway, which is the conventional, and super easy way of broadening your base and increasing your exposure in record, rapid fire turn around time.

Next we are going to talk about SOFTWARE, and how you can use simple and efficient Wordpress plug ins to aggregate content across your niche to your very own site, supercharging your blog building efforts with push button simplicity. So check back for Part 2 of this series for an even more powerful way of building a BIG buck blog....often overnight!

FREE Blog Marketing Strategies revealed.... so much fun & effortlessly easy, it almost feels like stealing!

It seems no matter how much information comes available online, people thirst for more.

To illustrate this point, just take a look at all the online news services sprouting up on the web like garden weeds.

With the click of a mouse you can instantly search thousands of news sources for specific and timely information on virtually any topic you choose.

Heck, if you're a real news junky, you can even get up-to- the-minute news emailed straight to your desktop!

Now, I'm the first one to say that nothing beats a good old-fashioned newspaper you hold in your hands.

Few things rate as relaxing as a cup of coffee, a quiet morning, and today's newspaper ready for my inspection. In fact, my day doesn't officially start until I walk to the end of my driveway to retrieve the paper (occasionally from under a bush).

But as much as I love the paper, it rarely contains stories on highly-specialized subjects such as the latest email marketing laws, html parsing, and search engine promotion.

Of course, it doesn't make sense for virtually any local newspaper to carry news about email marketing laws (other than how they affect consumers) because the market demand simply doesn't exist on that level.

However, around the world, thousands of people just like me want to know the instant a news story breaks on the latest "Can Spam" legislation, and that's where online news services come into play.

Log on to http://news.google.com, http://news.yahoo.com and www.news.com to search thousands of different news sources from around the world.

On these sites you can dig up information on anything from current world events and your favorite Spanish soccer team, to cattle tagging regulations in Argentina (no kidding) and the exploding online auction markets in mainland China.

News from around the world on virtually any subject waits literally just a few keystrokes and a mouse-click away.

An incredibly useful feature offered by many of these sites includes email notification based on your keyword search criteria.

So instead of paying a "clipping" service to find articles and send them to you, these websites will do it free.

Now how could you use this type of news notification service?

Well, imagine you own stock in a specific company. You could subscribe to a number of different news services and have them send you breaking stories about the company, CEO, affiliated companies and anything else you choose.

Or, let's say you deal in a very specific industry, such as real estate investment publishing.

You could sign up to get notified any time a news story gets published about changing regulations, interest rates or other factors affecting your business.

All this online news certainly does not rate a substitute for morning coffee, local and national news, and an important ritual to start the day, but it has a place, especially for extremely specialized areas of interest, hobbies, or business news.

Watch for many new services, software, and opportunities to arise from this growing and dynamic area of online publishing.
