When your blog is up, you can use RSS feed to for a more continual readership to the blog You can also use  Aweber for readership signup. Remember to get it online now. “You don’t need to get it right, just get it running” After you get it running go to www.google.com/addurl/ .
    What is a blog really good for? It keeps you accountable, and it will motivate you (I need motivation) and it has momentum. Once you start to write on your blog you will find that it gets easier to write. I’m finding that it really does get easier.
   If you have a favorite radio station it has a call sign, my favorite station is W.I.I.F.M. (What’s In It For Me) Alex gave us this acronym and it kind of sticks in my mind. Make sure that your blog gives good value for continued readership.
   Do a story about how you started , your family or, as I am doing here, about my building a six figure business from scratch. Your blog needs to be updated once or twice a week.
   Social sites are a good way to send people to your site. When they come to your site encourage them to visit your squeeze page and build a list.
   If you create value the rest of your business will take shape.
   How are blogs powerful? They are fast to put up- other people send people your way- they provide value to you-  build a readership-and they build you a list.
   A good acronym is KISS keep it simple stupid. A blog needs have a basic story,
your story. Tell the readership how you started. I started in a land, far,far away called……..OOPs, lost my head for a moment.
   There are three types of people: People who don’t learn from their mistakes, People who learn from their mistakes, and people who learn form the mistakes of others. So align wourself with someone who has done what you plan to do and learn from their mistakes.

 Traffic will be discussed in the next module (Module 4) So I can’t wait for that one.  So far we are averaging about one module a week. With a brainstorming session (6-7 hours long) Alex was on for the whole time. Whew!  And an interactive session.  I will write a little about those in another post.
   The old adage: “Quitters never win and Winners never quit!” is the quote of the day. And what a quote it is, no one who ever succeeded in any endeavor did so with out some failure in their quest. My wifes grandfather worked for Thomas Edison when he was perfecting the filament for the light bulb. It took him over 1000 tries over two years to get it right. In fact there are some light bulbs (unlike mine that burn out, it seems in about a month)  in service for over a hundred years now:  #1 in Livermore, CA (turned on 1901-1905) ,#2 in Forth Worth, TX (turned on 1908) and #3 in Mangum, OK (turned on 1926-1929).  Amazing!
   What is a blog? An online weblog in which we write in as if in a journal. This makes us accountable and gives us feedback from the comments.
   Your very first post on a blog gives you instant momentum. And blogging maintains your focus and keeps you honest as your postings are viewed by the world so to speak.
   What needs to be on your blog?  First you want your blog to be personalized and not be one of the basic themes. There are a lot of themes out there, find one that appeals to you and use that one. As we learned, not to have a calender on the page because it takes up space unnecessarily. We want to have content that provides value to our readers.
   Oh Oh!The dinner bell has been rung . I will continue with this third module when I am done.
