Expanding Your Brand With Free Blog Hosting Platforms

The Emergence Of Blogs

Today is the day and age of blogs. While many people were not used to the idea of blogs a few years back, most people are getting to understand how they are used and can be put to different advantages on the internet.

The best thing about blogs is the ease of creation of them, especially the free ones. If you have an email account at Gmail, you can simply choose the Blogger option and start blogging.

What’s more, you can make use of the blog not only to share thoughts and ideas that you have in your mind, you can even use it as a distinct online marketing tool.

 

Blogs As Online Marketing Tools

Today everyone is on the lookout for online marketing options.

Most people wish to find ways of promoting their products or services online.

While medium and large sized businesses are making use of the services of many online marketing firms in order to advertise their products and services, those who are about to launch small businesses look for ways to market without going bankrupt.

One easy and free way of advertising online is to make use of blogs. Not only can one start a blog and write about the product or service that one wishes to sell, they can even make use of other blogs in order to spread the word.

 

Free Blogs Help Each Other

Just as you are opening a new blog with the help of tools like Blogger, many others are doing the same.

While some simply wish to publish the poetry that they have in their mind, others are either trying to promote other brands or trying to sell something of their own.

Free blog owners are more open to publishing content of other blogs or other guests as long as they also get a link in return or get to put in a word or two about the product or service that they are promoting.

Thus, if one is selling a health supplement, they can make use of blogs that are into health and fitness and anything related to such subjects. One can simply drop such blog owners a line requesting them to take up a guest post on their behalf.

Most blog owners have guidelines that need to be followed in composing a guest post. Once that is done, many blog owners will happily publish your content.

 

Benefits Of High Ranked Blogs

There are blogs which have high page ranks, signifying that they get a lot of online traffic.

When one gets their article published on such sites, they increase the chances of getting more people to read the article and follow the links posted and visit the official site or raise queries.

In such ways, followers are also generated on Facebook or Twitter for products or services. Companies are using social media in such ways to increase awareness and audience for their products.
