My Viral Blog

Archive for the ‘How to blog.’ Category

One of the most important tools in a marketers toolbox is the microblog, no other form of free promotion can get visitors to your site faster than a microblog.

Now there are many sites on the net offering microblogging apart from twitter and sometimes using one of these other sites can be more beneficial than posting on twitter alone.

Some of the other microbloggers deal only with certain niches and for targeting these are ideal places to launch your product or service that fall into a certain niche (most products and services belong to one niche or another) SPNBabble for instance deals mainly with search and advertising while Hot Spot Social is focused on the Internet Business community and social media as a whole and deals mainly with business networking and link building.

Most of the Microblogging sites allow you to place a URL within your post but you have to remember a microblog is small normally between 160 and 200 characters so keep the text short and link to the information rather than try posting all you need to say in the microblog, most will have found this post simply because it is linked to my microblog demonstrating the power a microblog has.

When joining a microblogging community it is important you read their rules in order to avoid being banned for spamming, be sure to fill in your profile giving as much detail about yourself as possible (the more people know about you the more they are likely to accept you in the community), be honest never try to embellish your abilities as you will quickly get found out and be shunned as a fraud.

Be active in the community never just post and leave, your post will quickly disappear from the activity feed so you will need to re-post daily, you may also receive some comments about your post, be polite and answer them even if the comment is upsetting replying with a thank-you for your input can be more upsetting for the commenter who probably just wanted to get a reaction from you.

Follow people, the fastest way to get followers is to actually start following people you come across in the community, most times they will reciprocate and follow you also, following a person means when they post you should be notified of a new post most times you will receive an email notification likewise when you post your followers will all be notified providing instant  promotion of your new post.

Your Avatar is important it should reflect who you are, personally i prefer to use a good head shot photograph of myself but you could also use your brand or logo as effectively.

Check your spelling when making a post and use proper language skills, if people can't understand what your saying they are going to dismiss your post as rubbish.

Don't forget to check out all the facilities offered at the microblogging site, some are pretty cool and can be a great tool for promotion .

Most of all remember microblogging works and if your not already using them then you are missing out on a ton of free traffic not to mention the links your posts will provide back to your main site.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate" – Cool Hand Luke Movie Quote.

Since 2003 when I first came online as a Internet Marketer and online business owner I have built dozens of blogs and website. Currently my partners and I have over a dozen websites and around 14 blogs of which a majority are mine to maintain. As our business grows though the process of writing and posting to all these blogs and social community profiles has become troublesome and time consuming.

What we have is a wide range of blogs and domains that are performing well but not updated very often which can cause a loss of user interest. Expanding our reach too far to maintain has developed into a communications meltdown.

One of the things we have promised to our readers here at My Viral Blog is to show ways to automate task and simplify business operations to get a maximum impact. Many of our readers have heard of things such as domain investing, domain parking, and redirect traffic. We have a great set of performance domains and they all get traffic that is currently going to blogs that sometimes get shelved for 3-4 months between post which has become a waste of usable space and has only resulted in semi steady income through Adsense and affiliate links on these websites.

Today however we will begin the process of importing hundreds of post from these blogs adding tons of new content and training at My Viral Blog.

In the process as these blogs, their content, and the powerful pages on them are migrated to our new blogging home we will be using permanent redirects to send that traffic to My Viral Blog. The first projects are on domains such as HighTechAffiliate.com , Andy Zeus Anderson.com, ModernMoneyMachine.com and a few subdomain blogs that will also redirect. In addition there will be post coming in from several Blogger based sites and a few community profiles that will also move here and redirect pages targeting our new home on the web will also be put in place to recycle that traffic as well.

In the end this blog will be a almost sole focus of all our articles and post and will allow multiple new post per week, and bring tons of traffic and interest to our community of bloggers. Mind you that My Viral Blog is not just a personal business blog but also offers free blog hosting and will soon have a fresh install of our community pages which were taken down by a malicious SPAM attack this past week. We have since taken precautions to further secure our domain, blogs, and system as a whole and make the web a safer place on the MVB system.

I am so proud to have you on board for these changes,

Andy Zeus Anderson
