• Thanks for the recent comments and tweets. Remember that if you don’t have anything to add with a comment, sending out a tweet is appreciated just as much

• So I finally fixed that optin box at the top right of my blog. Only took me a few months to get around to it!

• A lot of aweber emails have been hitting the spam box in gmail lately, hopefully this pattern doesn’t continue, because historically they’ve been an excellent autoresponder.

• Apparently you can customize the look of your blog at the warrior forum too! Didn’t know that!

• I created a fan page on facebook. I haven’t actually done anything with it yet or added anyone, but eventually I’ll get to it. Feel free to become a fan while you’re reading this.

• So I happened to establish contact with a well known Internet Marketer named Rhys Davies. He pulled in $148,000 online last year … in actual profit! He did it with just a simple, 3 step system and I got an insider look at it! I think it’s definitely worth checking out, and he’s giving away one of his secrets right now for free.

Main Article – Making Cash And Promoting Your Business With Your Blog

So one of your fellow readers wanted to know how to promote a business with your blog.

Now there are SO many ways to do this depending on your niche and the type of business you have. So rather than write some massive 50,000 word article, I’ll give you a nice little list of stuff that you can pick and choose from.

• Find the keywords in your niche likes and focus on posting content in those areas.

• Make your posts that also apply to things about your business, so you can provide useful content and drop friendly reminders about your business. For example, one thing I talk about is getting traffic to your websites. Why not talk about my own websites EliteSafelist and FastActionAds since it helps get website traffic?

• Like to promote affiliate programs? Make sure to smoothly link to some of your affiliate links in your blog posts.

• Update your readers about the latest news going on with your business! For example, I think one or two blog posts ago, I mentioned that EliteSafelist hit 5,000 members.

• For affiliate marketers, of course it makes a lot of sense to devote posts about a new program. You can give an honest review and/or talk about your ongoing experiences with it!

• Remember that those rss feeds and blog networks can be spreading the stuff posted on your blog all over the internet! That means tons of links going back to your website or affiliate links! Your new blog posts can automatically be sent to places like twitter, facebook, and more!

• Have an optin form so you can keep people up to date about your blog (and your business) through email.

• Get your blog active, and it will show new readers that the content you are writing about is interesting to other people. This makes people more inclined to read your blog so they can see what other people have to say. That also means even more exposure for you.

• Remember that sometimes a blog will look a lot friendlier than some salespage where you’re trying to sell someone something. A blog gives you another outlet and way to connect with potential customers.

• Give your readers step by step instructions on how to do stuff, and of course include some action having to do with your business. People love lists!

I’m sure there’s more but I can’t think of them at the moment. If you look around, I’m sure you’ll notice that I apply many of these techniques myself, and it brings me additional, long term business.

What do you think of this list? Are you applying any of these methods to your blogs? Let us know!

• Whoa, tons of stuff happened this past few weeks! If you wanna know why I didn’t post much this past month, make sure to keep reading…

• One blog reader was kind enough to point out that my optin box in my header doesn’t have a submit button! I still need to fix that, haha. Thanks Online Biz!

• I was out of town for a week awhile ago. Remember to work hard and work smart. One of the things that an online business can do for you is allow you to travel (i.e. VACATIONS!!) and still make money.

• One of the biggest launches in traffic exchange history just happened. Tezak Traffic Power launched with something like 10,000+ members in 10 days! Incredible, and I gotta add it couldn’t have happened to a better guy. If you like traffic exchanges, this is a surefire winner. It’s got the same minds behind Traffic-Splash and a 10 year TE veteran in Tony Tezak.

• Mike Coursey just launched a cool new service called Splash Speaker. It lets you create splash pages that automatically create audio for you. Use the approved sites and it will even say stuff like a member’s name! It’s really cool. Sign up for free, but I recommend upgrading to get full access to these awesome features.

• Sunny Suggs continues her “All About” series with the arrival of All About My First List. This is a really cool site that helps walk you through how to build your own mailing list. Join here and you can get the first chapter for free, but as always the upgrade will get you a ton of really cool stuff.

• … And here’s a big one. Clickbank Pirate is LIVE! I was lucky enough to check things out from the inside and all I can say is WOW. Basically, Cindy Battye and Soren Jordansen have created a true plug-n-play system that will help you make commissions from Clickbank for LIFE! They’ll handle ALL the work, EVERYTHING! All you’ve gotta do is show it to people (and they reveal how to do that too). Check out their video and get two free, eye-opening reports that reveal a ton of secrets about making money online.Oh and here’s my official update. I started using Clickbank Pirate August 5th just by putting some banners ads out there linking to their professionally made squeeze pages (as in, I put in no real effort on my part). As I write this, it’s 7th and I’ve gotten my first clickbank sale thanks to Clickbank Pirate! That’s right, 2 days, barely any promotion (not even an email sent out folks!), and I got my first sale. Can I say Clickbank Pirate is awesome now?

Main Article – Get YOUR Voice Heard!

Ok, so no real article today. Instead…

I want YOU to tell ME what you want to hear about!

Bottom line, I really write this blog for you. I want to see you succeed, and part of doing that is discovering what you need help with.

Not sure if you noticed, but I haven’t been posting to my blog as much. I noticed that on some posts, I get some good activity, while others…not so much.

Sorry but that just won’t do!

Personally, I’d like to keep this thing updated around once a week and let you know what’s going on in the world.

It’s pretty simple though: less comments, less updates.

So if you really wanna hear what I have to say about Internet Marketing, leave a comment or sent out a tweet for me!

If not, well then I guess you don’t have to do anything! haha

I installed this shiny new thing called skribit, which allows you to easily suggest and vote on topics for me to blog about.

You’ll find a blue tab on the left side of my blog, just click that, and you can make suggestions or vote on stuff for me to blog on!

So let me know what you want to hear more about! It’s really easy to do with skribit

I know a lot of you out there read this blog, so lets get more active and leave some comments. This is a great chance for you to get to know other readers, and also a chance for me to get to know some more of you better as well.

Basically, this is your chance to get YOUR voice heard!

Action steps:

1) Something you’re dying to know? Click on that suggestion box hovering on the left side and let me know. See some other suggestions you like? You can vote for those too!

2) Leave some relevant comments and share you thoughts when you read a new blog post. You can meet new people, get your website link out there (this is a “DO follow” blog by the way, for you SEO pros ), and help keep this place active. Gives me a lot more incentive to post updates when I know I’m helping you.

3) Nothing you want to say at all?! Haha it’s ok I understand, then at least do me a favor and send me out a tweet for me.  That’d be awesome too!
