I still remember the early days of internet when firms had a little newsletter box on their website so that they can keep their users (and/or clients) posted about recent updates. Technology has advanced today but many firms still opt for the old-fashioned-newsletter (hard copy). How about maintaining a section on your website that can keep your users updated about your firm?

Say yes to Blog and feel a difference about your corporate on the internet. Having a blog can help you in many ways, including:

• Frequent updates on news and events
  Keep your blog casual. Post updates (news) about your corporate, product and events (picnic, competitions etc.) to give your web audience a good insight into your firm! Expose your RSS URL  on the main website so that people can easily follow your blog
• Maintain a web audience
  Interaction with your users (through comments), getting to know their instant feedback can always lead to improvement in various areas
• Better results on search engine
  Many web sites (especially in this part of world) are not highly optimized for search engines. Having a well-maintained blog can help you get a good traffic on your blog as well as on your website directly from the search engine

There is definitely much more to it than what one can list down in a single post. I myself suggest blogs to my clients (instead of maintaining a page for ‘news & events’) and have got a really good experience in driving traffic from blogs. Yes, there are certain firms that are still printing hard-copy newsletters because of their end-users. By setting up a blog in parallel, they can help others in bringing about a change!

The 31 day project will run in a simple manner. Users can subscribe to the posts via email and every day you’ll get the posts in your inbox – that’ll have two aspects: a teaching component and a practical component (task/homework).

ProBlogger is ranked among top-50 blogs that earns a lot through internet today. Let me share a bit from the AdSense blog who interviewed Darren Rowse over AdSense optimization:

October 4, 2003 is a date I’ll never forget – that was a day that my life changed. It was the day that I discovered AdSense and added it to my very first blog. I added that first advertisement to my blog on a whim, with what I thought was the lofty dream that I might be able to pay for my blogs hosting costs. Over 5 years later, those little text ads have paid my mortgage, fed my family, and enabled me to move my blogging from a hobby, to a part time job, to a full time job and beyond.

It’s not been an ‘overnight success’ by any means but as I’ve learned to use it, AdSense has been one of my highest online income streams.

Although this project is designed for beginners but many tasks will be relevant to intermediate as well as advance bloggers. I have myself subscribed to this project and will try my best to do a summary post once it’s over!
