Today we’re going to talk about blog posting. We’ve talked before about how Max Pro co-creator Mike Antoni is a huge believer in blogging. We have a great blogging package that we sell by the way if you’re interested. But anyways, Mike believes that blogging is necessary for the success of your online business. He says it as a great way to build a loyal customer base and to drive traffic to your site.
But what we haven’t talked about before is the necessity of blog commenting. Commenting on other people’s blogs can be a great way to advertise your business opportunity and generate traffic for your site.
Here are some basic steps that you can follow to get you started:
1.) Establish a list of keywords to work from.
- You’re going to want to choose keywords that are home business oriented. Like work from home, build your own online business, etc…
2.) Plug your keywords into Google to generate a list of blogs for you to visit.
3.) Set a goal to visit at least 5 blogs a day
4.) Once at the blog read the posts and get a general feel for the blog. Make sure your biz opp would be welcome there.
5.) Create a signature that includes your website link in it and a brief blurb about your opportunity
6.) Thoughtfully respond to a blog post with an insightful comment. Don’t hard sell. Let your blog signature do the selling for you.
Keep at it and in no time you’ll have a variety of back links established that will generate traffic for you and your website!
While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experience of others. There isn’t enough time to learn everything in life by trial and error. We must learn from the life lessons of another.
“A warning that is given by an experienced person to someone willing to listen can be more valuable than jewelry made from the finest materials.”
Make today a good deed day. “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you ever can.”

As a blogger for two years, I have learned much about blog content. There are two kinds of blog content needed – remarkable & regular. More of our writing is regular as we share our passion, but work to get the unusual and extraordinary content as well. Adding quality media helps too as our world of readers are impressed by visual proof and substance. To engage with potential leads that will hopefully be converted to sales, the blog needs to encourage conversations. Without interesting content to link to, the blog will just be sharing other people’s content on your network. This is important to growing readership, but won’t get real traffic. What will get the traffic is quality and consistency of the blog posts. By having a regular blogging schedule, readers will have a sense of anticipation and other thought leaders will be encouraged to interact on the blog too.
Don’t you just love to see all the beautifully wrapped presents under the Christmas tree? Or how about the ones you receive for your birthday? Some people are masters at creating the most beautiful packages, aren’t they? When you see a gift, beautifully wrapped and decorated, does it benefit you? As long as it is sitting on a table or under the Christmas tree, you can’t derive any benefits or pleasure from it…other than maybe appreciating the wrappings.
The first thing you must do is to accept the gift. You can’t stop there!! You must open it to find out what is inside and then use the gift you have been given. As excited as I would get about getting a gift, I still can’t enjoy or appreciate it until I accept it, open it and use it. Larry knows that I love jewelry and you better believe I open my gifts and wear them right away (jewelry or clothes), spritz them (perfume), read them (books )…you get the idea. Those gifts don’t do me any good if I store them in the closet.
A business opportunity is somewhat like this. The most wonderful business opportunity can be right in front of you. It can offer all kinds of benefits. Will those benefits do you any good? No, not until you decide to become a part of the business—accept it.
Okay, now you have become a part of the business opportunity—it that it? No, but some people seem to think it is. The next step is to ‘open’—or find out what is contained—what the benefits can be and learn how to achieve them. Then get busy—use them to the max!
What I am trying to say is that MaxPro offers a fantastic opportunity for those who get involved—for those who use the trainings, forum, support, marketing, etc that is made available to them. This means more than just listening or reading or even posting at the forum. Those are the first steps, but you must move beyond that and actually be proactive in your own business. Do it!
Our wish is for every member of our MaxPro family (that is you!) to meet with great success. When we tell you that your success is our success, we mean it! There is great excitement in the office when we hear of your involvement…the steps you are taking toward success…and ultimately your success stories.
Anybody who ever told you “change your mindset” or “believe and achieve” probably had good intentions.
But that’s not really all there is to being successful in business, life, or any other possible field.
You can define success anyway you want to, but the way I define it, and the way that makes everything I’ve ever thought about being successful seem like a big joke, is like this:
Success is not a mind set. Success does not fall into your lap. Success is not having money handed to you without you lifting a finger.
If you’re anything like me, you’re NOT okay with that. I’m not saying you can only have true success through back breaking labor. In fact, I think the complete opposite. I’d rather work smart than hard any day!
All I’m saying is that if you’re waiting for the right opportunity to come along and take you with it, well you’ve got another thing coming.
We know what success is not. So what is it really?
Success is determined by one thing, and one thing only. You’ve probably been to enough seminars to know that the one thing is you.
But here’s what a lot of people sadly fail to realize.
Success is not going to fall into your hands and once you get over that little fact, you’ll be much better off.
Let’s get into my one of my favorite examples:
THE SUCCESS DREAMER:
The success dreamer is one of the biggest ‘fantasizers’ you’ll ever come across. They spend so much time dreaming about their perfect life with their millions of dollars, mansions and cars, and fame that they never even ask themselves the real questions.
Questions like: -How am I gonna get myself into that positon?
-What can I improve upon?
-Who can I get involved with to make this a reality?
-Where do I go to accelerate this goal?
If you want to be a true success and not just a success dreamer, those are some pretty obvious questions to ask. Unfortunately, those are questions that hardly ever get answered, which is why out of the billions of people on the planet only a small percent of the world are considered wealthy or successful.
Parents know if your kid wants to play the guitar, you’re going to do anything in your power to help them achieve that. You typically know how to answer the questions I’ve asked above. You want what’s best for your family.
Perhaps enroll them in guitar lessons. You’ll somehow put your child in a position to achieve their goal.
You need to treat yourself like you’d treat your child. You’re not going to achieve ANYTHING in life if you’re not putting yourself in a position to succeed
Take the necessary and all too obvious steps to achieving. Whatever it is doesn’t matter.
All you gotta do it this: - First off, find what you want to do in life. What you wanna be. All that inspirational stuff. You know what I’m talking about.
- Next find out more about that particular path. Research it. The internet is a great tool if you use it wisely.
- After you’ve done your research, surround yourself with people who are doing the same thing you’re doing. Remember, your network determines your net worth.
- And finally, just take the natural steps towards whatever it is you’re trying to achieve.
If you try everyday of your life you cannot fail! Eventually you will attain whatever it is you were reaching for.
And now I’ll leave you with this.
And it’s probably the most inspirational yet incredibly simplified line you’ll read in this entire article.
“NEVER BACK DOWN….NEVER SURRENDER!”
If you can follow that rule, you’ll save yourself of lot of sleepless nights.
Affiliate Marketing: Making money as an affiliate selling other’s products.
Selling Your Own Products: Creating and selling your own products.
What is best for you? Advertising appears to take the least amount of effort as you can have Max Pro create a blog that can be set up with Google adsense or other ad-marketing program where visitors click on ads as they read or examine the site. There is a simple three C word formula for success: content=clicks=cash. To make very much money with ads requires lots of content in the form of good posts and article writing. This is a totally free method of making money but for most people it will only generate enough to pay for site expenses.
Affiliate marketing is the easiest way to make money online for most people. Since you are selling other’s products and services, the real job is driving traffic to the site. Clickbank.com offers many great products that you can sell. However, I am convinced that Max Pro can assist any individual in affiliate marketing with its tried and true training and support system coupled with a sales team that can close those traffic leads.
The third method of making money online is selling your own products. The real key here is the ability to create (write) material that is useful and offer it to a niche market that is eager to find this information. It can be about anything. A friend who has two sons who are used car dealers, is now creating a blog where she will help women (as well as men) not to be taken by used car dealers. She will make a lot of money and I personally will never buy another used car without her assistance. The Max Pro Team can assist here in building the professional site and provide the training that can lead to success.
What is the best method for making money online? This depends on you! I recommend getting started in this great venture and eventually do all three. Use the Max Pro System to accomplish your goal(s).
What will get you traffic in the blogging arena, is the quality and consistency of your blog posts. Create a regular blogging schedule and make sure you and any authors that blog for you, are following it. This will create a sense of anticipation in your readers and encourage other thought leaders in the blogging world to interact with you.
Get passionate about blogging and start writing regular content, making sure it is authentic (be yourself). In order to engage with potential leads, industry leaders and other bloggers you need have a blog that encourages conversations. Brian Rogers wrote, “Without interesting content to link to, you’ll just be sharing other people’s content on your network which is important for growing it, but it won’t get you traffic.”
