Blogging can be a great way to brand yourself.
And create relationships with your readers.

You can also monetise your blog if you have a product or service
that you would like to sell.

The main reason why I started my blog Work from Home Career.
Is to help my readers who are looking to start an online business from home.
And to get readers to be curious of what I am offering and sense of mystery.

As the main purpose of my blog is to get visitors to subscribe,
to my blog so I can get their email address.

As then I can start to build my email list and build a relationship with that list.
And over time building trust and the returning visitors into a potential customers,
and creating a sale and make money from blogging.

My prospects ask me what is the benefits of having an online business.
The benefits are "Enhancements to your life".

Here is an example: "Hi David would you like to spend more time with your family and friends? Go travel and go on vocations and not wake up to an alarm clock. And not worry about the cost of anything".
This will make the person perk up a bit and catch their excitement.

I have an example here with two different of email lists.
One list has 25,000 emails and the other list has 1,000 emails.

The list with 25,000 emails is a broad list and not targeted to your target audience.

The other list of 1,000 people is targeted to your niche and target audience.
Of work from home seekers and people struggling to make money from home.
You are attracting the right people they are cool to receive your offer.
This is why it is so important to narrow down your target market.

What do you think the results were?

Here we go: The targeted list had more sales as they wanted what you were sharing.
The other list was not targeted and therefore most of the people on the list did not want your product or service.

Key point is: Who is going to be the best target group that I am going to target.
Who has the least amount of objections and the most opt ins and conversions.

I will write another post on blogging, list building and how to start a Blog and make money, so keep your eye out for my next blog.
