2) Blogging

I love blogging. It gives me the opportunity to rant and rave, and to share my personal opinion about things. Isn't that what a blog is to be about anyway? Well I think it is, and I strive to update my blog each and every week. If you don't know how to start a blog or where to begin, simply migrate over to a site called Blogger.

It's a free service that allows you to get a free blog within a matter of minutes. After you have completed all the sign up information, you should customize your blog's look and theme. Make it catchy, and make sure that your blog posts are relevant to your niche, and lengthy.

Strive for about 400 to 500 word posts and you will be good to go. After each time that you post, go to a site called "pingomatic", and ping your blog. This will let the search engine services know that you have updated your content, and they will come to visit them and place them in their index.

These 2 techniques for getting traffic are incredibly easy to do. Be sure to start using them in your online business.

Good luck with succeeding in your own online business.
