Blogging For Promotion

[TheAnonymousMan]

If you are a online marketer, then blogging gives you a direct platform to contact with your customers, its like direct talk and much easier for promotion than newletters and ezines

Hi Darren

I disagree with this, I believe that a quality electronic newsletter with articles delivered straight to a customers inbox is better than a blog for making more sales and promoting your business.

I say this because I never read blogs more than 1 or 2 days in a row (lack of time) but when I receive an electronic newsletter I'll usually read the entire newsletter (at a convenient time) and act on any soft promotions they have offered.

If I was reading a blog and found any hints of selling or soft promotion, I'd leave instantly and I have done this before several times before. Most blogs I come across do not entertain or educate me as much as electronic newsletters do with articles.

A blog really describes a platform and not a marketing strategy, and blogs can take many forms and have many different purposes. For example, you could use a blog platform just to post your companies press releases, or you could use a blog platform to make a news website.

I use a blogging platform, but don't see my sites as blogs, but more as online magazines.
