Extreme Blog Makeover Creates Web Traffic Surge
WebMomz Blog and Hollywood Leader Blog go from boring to brilliant in just 30 days with The Blog Squad rescue.
(PRWEB) January 11, 2006 — Kristie Tamsevicius is an expert on giving business advice to moms who work from home. Her website, www.webmomz.com is a clever portal for those seeking a better, smarter way to be a mother and still run a business from home.
But Kristie’s blog, www.webmomz.com/blog, was a big fat loser. A few visitors a day, no comments from readers, and only a few posts. That is, until The Blog Squad rescued her, and implemented several changes to boost blog traffic and help convert them to clients.
“Starting a new blog felt a bit like traveling to a new planet. I was lost in a sea of new technology and buzzwords. Working with The Blog Squad quickly helped me cut thru the clutter. I learned what all those fancy words meant, how to get my blog up, and how to tweak it to really make it work for my business. Now I’m a certified blog
addict!” says Kristie.
Kristie T. has a great blog for moms who work from home, cleverly called Kristie T’s Home Biz-a-palooza! The Blog Squad recently did a makeover on her blog, although I must say, she’s pretty savvy and came to us with a sharp blog already. She’s even mentioned on Dr. Phil’s website! She wrote this email the other day:
Patsi,
Recently I was reading blogs by so called gurus of internet marketing. While many of them did launch blogs this year, they failed miserable. Guess they hadn’t read your report Download 17MistakesProfessionalsMakewithTheirBlogs.doc ! Too bad.
If they did, they could be getting more comments, more blog subscribers, and more passive income from their blog. Having the Blog Squad coach me really got me ahead of the game. Not only did it get my out the door quickly with my new blog, but it also helped me do it right. Within no time flat, I went from zero traffic to 1000 visitors in just one month. Thanks for making my entry into the blogosphere fast, painless, and profitable! You rock!

Susan Solomon at Marketing Profs blog writes this must-read post: Don’t Bore Me with Your Blog!
She gives 6 tips for better blog writing, all of which are also applicalbe to writing better newsletters. She even suggests a blog writing course. Hmmm, now I could do that!
Yet I even have a hard time following my own advice. I still post articles that are way too long, and try to pack too much information into each article. I know, I know: you’re too busy to read long posts, but don’t miss her article if you struggle with writing. She’s says it all:
Every time you write a newsletter article you have an opportunity to show your stuff. You are marketing yourself. Good copywriters know how to turn words into results.
So it makes sense to learn writing techniques from good copywriters. One clever copywriter is Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero, of Red Hot Copy.
And she has a red-hot-blog, with lots of good writing tips. Visit now to learn how to capture the force with your words.
