“The Secret to Attracting Thousands of Loyal Customers and Ranking High in the Search Engines . . . With or Without a Website!”Man Diagnosed With Diabetes Now Makes a Full-Time Living Writing About the Disease…On His Blog!How You Can Attract More Customers and Rank High in the Search Engines Through the Power of Blogging…
From the Desk of: Caroline Melberg, Blogging Consultant Dear Business Owner, It sounds incredible, but it’s absolutely true. After
being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, Ken Savage decided to learn all
he could about the disease . . . and share that knowledge with other
diabetics. So he created a blog
and started sharing news about the disease and the various treatment
options he discovered. Later, he included advertising on the site to
earn a little extra money. Now he makes $40,000 a year—a respectable
full-time income—just from advertising on his blog!
And he isn’t the only one . . .Allison
Nazarian, founder of a small copywriting and marketing firm, decided to
start a company blog to share marketing advice and news on the latest
trends in the industry. Over time, Allison has increased the number of visitors to her Website from 100 per month before the blog, to over 150,000! Before
starting her blog, most of Allison’s business came through
word-of-mouth, while only 1% came through her Website. Now over 25% of her new business comes from her Website, and she has increased sales 18% from last year. If they can do it, so can you . . .Every day, businesses large and small are getting more customers and ranking higher in the search engines with or without a Website . . . by blogging. And the best part is you can too! Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last few years, you’ve probably at least heard of blogging. But
if you think it’s just some Internet fad . . . or a self-indulgent
activity for wannabe writers with too much time on their hands, you’re
wrong! Blogging is the next big thing in Internet marketingAccording to the ad industry trade magazine Ad Age, “there are roughly 15 million active blogs currently read by 57 million people”. According to the blog search engine Technorati, the “blogosphere”, the part of the Internet made up of blogs, doubles every 320 days! That means around 1.4 new blogs are created every second! “…this is not a passing fad that can be ignored.” --Michael Gartenberg, Jupiter Research Analyst Why You Need A Business BlogIn
other words, blogging is big business. And whether you’ve been on the
Internet for a while, or you don’t even have a Website yet, you need to
have a blog. Here’s just a few reasons why: - Establish yourself as an expert. Writing articles on your blog gives you expert status in the eyes of your prospects.
- Announce new products and services, and sell them right away. In
the old days, you’d send out a direct mail campaign, place expensive
ads, and wait months for the checks to roll in. With a blog, telling
your customers about your latest offering—and then selling it to
them—takes only a few hours!
- Easier to set up than a Website! You can have a blog up and running in as little as a few minutes.
- No technical expertise required. Unlike a Website, you don’t need to know HTML or a bunch of fancy programming languages. If you can type, you can blog.
And The #1 Reason to Have a Business Blog…All those reasons I mentioned above are important, but they’re not the most important. The biggest benefit to having your very own business blog is that it can . . . Make Google Fall In Love With You!Translation? Increased search engine ranking. That’s
right. Because each blog post adds new content to your Website, it
causes the search engines to update their records with your Website
information more often, giving you higher placement on the major search
engines! That way, you can rank on page one on Google or any other search engine for the keywords you want to be known for! You see, if you want to be found online, you need to be on the first results page in Google, preferably within the first 6 listings. The
further down the list your site appears, the less likely it will be
that someone will click over to it. And if you get beyond page 2 or 3
of the listings, forget about it! Nobody’s going to know you exist. But don’t worry. Ranking high on Google isn’t as hard as it sounds . . . and I’m here to help you.

My Own Results…When
I started experimenting with my own blog, I discovered that the many
benefits of having a blog—becoming known as an expert, building a
relationship with your customers, and all the rest paled in comparison to the benefits of using your blog to improve your search engine ranking. And through a lot of trial and error, I’ve discovered what works…and what doesn’t! For example, thanks to blogging, for the keyword phrase “Minnesota Internet Marketing” we moved up from ranking #38 (where nobody would ever find us) to ranking #4 and #6 on Page 1 in Google! 
For the keyword phrase “Small Business Marketing Minnesota” we went from ranking somewhere after page 10 to ranking #1, #2, and #3 on Page 1 of Google. 
We even beat out the United States Government’s Small Business Association site—all because of the search engine optimization techniques we put into place on our blogs! But don’t just take my word for it! Here’s what a few very happy clients had to say about my teaching: So Easy, Even A “New-bie” Can Do it!” "Our
blog has been a great tool for keeping our customers up-to-date on
what’s going on with PillowGram. We just launched in July of last year,
so we’ve had lots of new additions that we want to keep our customers
updated on, and posting to our blog is so much quicker than updating
our website. Our blog is so easy to use, I just enter the information
like I would in a Word document or an e-mail, click “publish” and it’s
on the Internet, available for everyone to see. I was worried that it
would be too complicated for me to figure out, but Caroline’s instructions were so clear and easy to follow, even a computer “new-bie” like me can do it!” Nancy Sundeen Founder & President, PillowGram www.pillowgram.biz
“We’re On Page One of Google!”
Since launching our blog in September of last year, we have seen dramatic
results in terms of search engine optimization for our primary keyword (Wayzata
dentist). By following Caroline's blogging advice, we’ve gone from
hardly ranking at all, to ranking in positions # 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 AND 10 on the
first page of Google!”
Brian Denn Office Manager, Wayzata Dental www.wayzatadental.info |
“I’ve Already Launched My Blog!” First let me tell you how much I got out of Biz Blogging Basics. It completely exceeded my expectations.
I hope you know that you are not only knowledgeable on the subject, but
a good teacher. I have coached trainers for years and done it myself.
You have some very great techniques that seem to come naturally. Your
course is clear and down to earth, making it easy for me to understand
and implement. I’ve already launched my new blog! Myrna Marofsky Founder & President, Wise Packs www.travelprincess.info |
I now know exactly what to do to launch my blog!” “The
material in BizBloggingBasics is succinct, well-organized, and
compelling. This course demystified technology for me, and gave me
achievable, step-by-step guidelines that will help me find new
customers, make my own service offerings more attractive, and drive new revenue for my company.” —Janet Roper, Founder & President Janet Roper, Animal Communicator www.janetroper.com |
“Our Blog Differentiates us from our Competitors” “We would never have successfully launched our blog without Biz Blogging Basics.
I learned from this course how important links are for search engine
optimization, and was able to use our blog as a value-add for our
members, as every time they post to our blog, they create a new link
back to their own website. This helped us set our company apart from
our competitors.” Lorna Slott, Co-Founder Club W.O.W. www.clubwowltd.info |

be a computer genius to understand it. Forget trying to launch a blog
yourself through trial-and-error. Biz Blogging Basics saves you time, money – and frustration! OK, Caroline. I’m Convinced.
So How Much Is This Gonna Cost Me?I’m
glad you asked! Now, keep in mind, this is the same information that
led The Wall Street Journal to interview me on blogging for search
engine optimization: “Search engines rank blogs with fresh content higher than ones that are rarely updated, says Caroline Melberg, president of Melberg Marketing Inc., an online-marketing firm in Wayzata, Minn. So the higher a blog is ranked, the greater the chances of consumers finding it, she says.” Caroline MelbergAs quoted in: “Blog it and They May Come, The Wall Street Journal, August, 2007 And it’s also the same information I teach in my One-on-One Blogging Classes that I charge my clients $450 to attend.
