To make it clear: the internet marketing blog is not a sales tool.

I repeat: the internet marketing blog is NOT a sales tool.

Despite of it`s name "Internet Marketing Blog" the idea is to share useful information by which the readers can make juicier profits.

An internet marketing blog needs a plan, an answer to the question why it is in the Internet. It is a medium on the public place. If you use blog as a part of your communication mix, which job it has?

For instance the target of my affiliate marketing blog is to act as a suport center, i.e. to deliver useful information to my lovely and fantastic readers.

1. An Internet Marketing Blog Should Build Trust.

Trust is honey for every internet business owner, the highest form of personal realtionships. This sets quite a high responsibility over the shoulders of the writer, he must be honest, helpful, professional and active.

The trust comes through time and no one can buy it or order from Amazon. The trust is an image in the minds of the people, which they create little by little after they have read your writings.

2.An Internet Marketing Blog Is Seen Personal.

Like it or not, the blog is your blog, your personal medium by which you share your best ideas to the readers.

This means that when you write your post, the reader will always build a certain picture about yourself.

Because we home business marketers are seldomly Pulitzer Prize Winners, and the readers know that, our attitude comes into the main role. The readers are very sensitive to feel the attitude: is the writer honest or is he a salesman?

It is important to remember that no one wants to be an object of the sales pitch. So a good blogger must have a strong persuasion power.

3.Give Best Marketing Ideas.

That is the whole idea of the internet marketing blog. Every single marketing person needs a constant flow of fresh marketing ideas to be able to reach his/her targets.

The comments section includes normally also a great row of different ( and often critical ) marketing ideas.

4. Use Optimized Posts.

Search engines love blogs and that is the reason, why they like to throw your post high on their result pages, if you have done the optimization properly.

The time, which you use for the keyword research will be paid back many times by the good results.

6. Use Your Persuasion Power In Pre-Selling.

I love the idea of persuasion and pre-selling. If you look around you every day, it happens all the time. Your children pre-sells the idea of some new toy, your wife pre-sells the idea of a new, expensive trip and so on.

I argue that without pre-selling and the persuasion power many nice idea would not be executed. The blog is a great place to presell ( because you cannot sell there ) lots of marketing ideas, which make the reader to click the link in the Bio Box.
