How do I get started with setting up my blog and start blogging?

1. There are many places that are available today that you can turn to and get set up with a blog. Probably the two most popular are Wordpress and Blogger, I personally use Blogger as it has served me well. Go to either of those sites and set up an account, then take a tour to learn the basics. 
2. Once you have your account set up, you want to make sure that your blog is integrated with your personal website. The benefits of doing this is that you can draw users to your personal website to learn more about what you do. Look at this as the ability for a prospect to do a little window shopping virtually as if they are in the Mall. Every time you post a new blog this will update onto your website as well.
3. Upon your first post you want to make sure you are posting relevant topics that relate to your industry through keywords. For instance, I help Network Marketers to get more leads and prospects for their business opportunities. I keyword phrase that I would look for is, "How to Get Leads Online"? You can do keyword searches via Google's search engine or keyword software like Samurai.

Those are the basics to get your up and running with writing an effective blog starting today. I can speak personally that blogging has been vital to my business and I enjoy sharing my success with others so that they can experience the same. For personal help and assistance in setting up your blog I personally invite you to reach out to me guidance. 

I hope that this information is of great value to you and I look forward to hearing about your success.
