Audiomicrophone Episode two of Blogging and Beyond is now posted, if you missed it. We interviewed Internet Marketing expert Tom Antion about database marketing systems.  Be sure to listen; Tom gives a very clear explanation of why a database marketing system is so important to the success of businesses that use the Internet.

(Update from Mexico: We left the Puerta de Hierro Hospital Wednesday without The Hubby having to have any surgery. This is good news. But the internet connection was down for 12 hours. Hopefully, I can now get back to work.)

Blogging Isn’t IT! The Blog Squad Reveals Blogging and Beyond

We launched our Internet radio show Blogging and Beyond yesterday on the VoiceAmerica channel, and told listeners why having a great blog may not be enough if they want to grow business and leverage the power of the Internet. You can listen to the show here.

(I was afraid my voice might get squeeky as it sometimes does, so I kept sucking on a lemon between breaks. I hear all the opera singers do that.)

I suggest you listen in to the show: we tell listeners what else they will need to leverage the power of the Internet to grow business. And, we interviewed our fabulous Ideal Client contest winner, Erik Feder. Erik already has a unique business and is using the Internet, and we will be coaching him live on the show each week to improve what he’s doing. Learn more by subscribing to our Blogging and Beyond blog.

Of course, if you really want to get more involved, you can still join the Blogging and Beyond Mentor Group that will be implementing simple online tools to grow your own business: www.BlogSquadContest.com/mentor.

    Keywords: Write for the Readers or Write for the Spiders?

    There is continuing debate about  how much effort one should put into researching keywords for your blog posts and articles. On the one hand, writers like to focus on content and meaning. On the other, search engine savvy techies tell you you must research which keywords people are using frequently.

    Clickzlogo_1 Here’s an article by a search marketing expert that addresses both issues, but with a reminder about how important good content is, especially when it has a call to action. PF Fusco writes for ClickZNetwork, and says, "Resolve to Produce Great Content." Here’s an excerpt:

    Consider this simple premise: great content speaks to the end user and encourages desired actions.

    Good content informs and inspirers readers. It entertains and amuses its intended audience. It’s passed from user to user and cited by others as having worth. Great content, however, encourages end users one step further: to click that button.

    You: Time’s Person of the Year and What You Should Be Doing About It

    This is important so, pay attention. Time Magazine has declared YOU to be the Person of the Year. Why? Because of all the citizen journalists, citizen marketers, and extraordinary people participating on the Internet.

    Denise and I have been waving that flag for the last couple of years, but now it is official: the Internet just got a whole lot easier for the average business person to use. The Blog Squad wants you to be a part of what Silicon Valley calls "Web 2.0".

    CNN.com reports that, yes, there is also the stupidity of crowds, but there is also a wave of collaboration never seen before.

    The question is, how will you participate? Are you still chugging along thinking your website will pull in clients? Good luck with that. As my nephews would say, "that is soooo old school."

    Here’s an idea: For 2007 start a blog for your business and see what happens. I dare you. Be my guest. Here are a few resources for you to consider:

    1. www.buildabetterblogsystem.com
    2. www.buildabetterblogservice.com
    3. www.blogtobook.com
    4. www.blogsquad.biz

    You can even set up your newsletter on a blogging platform and send it out through an email service like Feedblitz.com… That way people can respond immediately to your ideas and participate on the Web. And guess what? Everything posted on the web gets indexed, making it easier for people to find you.

    American Idol of the Internet Could Be You!

    I’ll admit it: I stole this idea from Ellen Britt, of Marketing Qi. She made this announcement to her people when The Blog Squad was on her teleseminar series. It goes like this:

    Have you ever had secret desires… illicit thoughts about wanting to be the winner of one of those TV shows like American Idol or Survivor? Oh, come on now, admit it! I won’t tell anyone…

    Imagine what it would be like to have fame, fortune and your face plastered on all the TV networks…why you probably couldn’t even go to the grocery store without people asking for your autograph.

    Well, now’s your chance…

    You could be the next Idol, the next Star, the new Americal Idol of the Internet!

    The BlogSquad is undertaking an international search for…their Ideal Internet Marketing Client!

    Only two days left to apply, get national radio exposure, and 13 weeks of free marketing mentoring.
