How to Use Content, Blogs, and Your Brain to Grow Business

There were three great resources launched this week for learning how to use the Internet to market your business.

All you need is your smart brain, a computer, and a few tools to create content that attracts clients.

One of these resources is completely free: the newly launched Content Marketing Institute. This is a new site developed by Joe Pulizzi to teach you how to master content marketing strategies to grow business.

The other two new programs carry a small fee:

1. The Ultimate Traffic Formula is a $49 program on how to get more blog traffic. It’s packed with Time-Saving Tips for Smart Blogging, including audio files, workbooks, and two bonus ebooks: Get Them in the Door: Using Blogs, Email and Social Media for Retailers, and How to Start Business Blog
2. Start Blogging Today opened their virtual doors last week: This is a comprehensive how-to blog training site authored by Grant Griffiths and Michael Martine that I highly recommend for both newbies and people who aren’t getting blogging results.

(Disclosure: I am a contributor to CMI, I co-created the Ultimate Traffic Formula program, I’m an affiliate of Start Blogging Today, and I also joined it.)

It is rare for me to recommend a product or service I haven’t actually used or bought myself. All three of these carry The Blog Squad Seal of Approval.
