Welcome to "The Secret Power of Blogging"

This blog was developed to assist me in research for my upcoming book entitled "The Secret Power of Blogging: How to Promote and Market Your Business, Organization, or Cause with Free Blogs"

Here is a brief description of the book:

Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal (or type of newsletter) that is updated often and intended for the general public. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site. In July 2006 the Pew Internet & American Life Project estimated that the US "blog population has grown to about 12 million American adults", some 8% of US adult internet users. The number of US blog readers was estimated at 57 million adults (39% of the US online population).

If you have a product, service, brand or cause that you want to inexpensively market online to the world then you need to look into starting a blog. Blogs are ideal marketing vehicles. You can use them to share your expertise, grow market share, spread your message and establish yourself as an expert in your field, for virtually no cost. A blog helps your site to rank higher in the search engines. This is because Google and the other search engines use blogs because of their constantly updated content.

Tiny one person part time businesses use blogs as well as companies like Microsoft, Apple, Nike, General Motors, Amazon.com, Yahoo. Most Fortune 1000 firms are using responsible Blogs and Blog marketing as well as advertising on blogs for one simple reason, It works! And it generates profits immediately and consistently! In addition many blogs earn additional revenue by selling advertising space on their niche targeted blog.
