It's simple, really:
Blogs drive traffic to your website. If you're the owner of a business -- large, small, mid-size, online or brick-and-motor only -- you need a blog. More traffic to your website means more business for you.
More customers for you -- whether to your website or to your downtown storefront -- translates to more sales for you. And blogs do so very inexpensively. In fact, if you do the blogging yourself, your blog need not cost you a thing.
Zero. Zilch. Nada. Not one penny comes out of your pocket. So if your blog brings you more income with no outgo, what are you waiting for? Start blogging!!!
Just what >is a blog? Basically, it's an online diary, where the writer -- or blogger -- jots down his or her thoughts on just about anything -- his new girlfriend, her new job, his opinion of the Iraq war, her thoughts on Hillary Clinton's run for the White House.
And, increasingly, a business owner's musings, opinions, advice.
Blogs are great traffic generators because search engine "spiders" love "new" web pages. They find newly updated pages more quickly than older or the "static" pages on a typical website and place them at the top of keyword search result pages. If you post to your blog every day, you basically have created a "new" web page every day, and in two-three months -- or about 100 posts -- you should see a spike in your blog's visitors. And, if you've posted links back to your company's website within your blog's posts as well as placed a hyperlink or two on the blog's navigation bar, your business website should also receive more visitors.
Another benefit is that your business' customers feel they are part of the family. That they are a true part of your business -- talk about generating customer loyalty! There are several services that allow you to create a free blog: Wordpress, Blogger and Typepad are three of the most popular. Writers at online diary sites such as MySpace and Lifejournal also use their journals to advertise their small business.
So, what are you waiting for? Get blogging!

Halloween Activities for KidsIf you like to use your computer for something else than playing games, there are several ways to make a living from sitting in front of the computer. Most of the jobs now require basic computer skills and there are classes at different levels that teach you what a computer is and how to use it. Depending on your skill level when using a computer and of course depending on what you actually do with the computer, you can make a decent living from home. If you are specialized in programming you can get a job and type programs all day long. If you are an expert in the use of some programs you can make money by using those programs for different project or you can make money by typing and sharing tips and different articles related to your area of expertise. If you know how to use the computer at a relatively basic level and you know how to use the internet you can find a typing job.
A typing job can be anything from data entry to rebate processing or transcriptions. You can join a data entry company to start a typing job or you can do it on your own. If you decide to do it on your own you are going to be a freelancer and if you join a data entry company you are going to have a work at home typing position. Other way the income is directly proportional with the amount of hours you work. The advantages of working from home in almost any type of work and especially in typing are that you can have a flexible schedule and work only when you want. For example if you are a freelancer you can have a week where you are typing day and night and then take a week of vacation. This is also valid for the data entry work at home position. If you are used to making 2,000 dollars a month going to work five days a week, four weeks a month, now you have the possibility of making the 2,000 in a week or two and then either type some more or rest. There are so many typing jobs online and offline that it can always be an option if you want to change your job or get a job.
