With this hack, you can choose to display a select amount of text from the beginning of each post as a teaser instead of showing the entire post on the front page of your blog. Then when people want to read the rest of the post, they can click a “read more” link to see the full post. This is very handy if you have lots of long articles all on one page.

Blogging isn't hard.
People see it as a massive investment of time but it's not really. If you're willing to invest time in a networking meeting then you can invest time in a blog because it's essentially the same thing. Presumably you go along to a networking meeting to meet people and let them know what a fab person you are? Because if they like you then they'll trust you and if they trust you then they'll buy from you, right?
Right. So you talk about your business a bit, perhaps take the opportunity to discuss a new product you're working on and share some funny anecdotes about something or other. Then leave the room with everyone thinking that you're a great person and fun to spend some time with. Mission accomplished.
Blogging for your business is pretty much the same except that the other person doesn't interrupt and you have more time to think up clever and witty things to impress people with. With your blog, you get a chance to put a human face to your business. You only have a few paragraphs on your core website to explain your business but with your blog you have months of posts for people to dip into to get a feel for your company.
What a great opportunity to earn the trust of people you've never even met. They come to your website and there's this great person writing really interesting stuff and sharing insights into this subject that he's a real expert on. Perhaps they'll come back each day or subscribe to your feed to see what you have to say. And if at some point they need to buy whatever you're selling then they're definitely going to come to you instead of your competitor - that really cold faceless business run by robots.
Still not convinced?
Don't be mistaken into thinking that it's not worthwhile if you don't have hundred of avid readers of your blog. If you keep all of your posts on your website then random browsers to your website will have a wealth of information to jump into. You're building their trust using stuff that you've written months ago.
And if they like what they see then they'll come back. And visitors that come back turn into customers eventually. And customers generate repeat business. And referrals. Surely it's starting to make sense now?
No? OK, one last shot.
You're generating a new page for your website every single time you post something. Who likes websites with lots of relevant content that gets updated frequently? Go on, take a guess...
Google will love you if you start blogging. If you write interesting stuff then people will link to it and Google will love you even more. Suddenly your website is more popular than ever and more people are visiting and more people are buying and it's just turning into one great big party with you at the centre of it.
OK, perhaps it won't be quite that dramatic but you must take the long term view when it comes to your approach to blogging. Don't write a couple of entries and then give up. Keep at it, keep producing new content and invest time in it as you would any other marketing activity. When it does all kick off then you'll be glad that you have that wealth of information sitting there for your website visitors to delve into.

So, I'm sure the secret is out that blogs are the best thing to use to make money on the internet these days. Blogs are easy to create, fun to use and can really help out your search engine rankings. Another plus about blogs is that whenever you want to make a change to your blog you only have to use a template and delete from there as apposed to going through the whole changing process with a regular website.
Today, I would like to share with you some of the ways that you can make money with blogs and how to rank them well in the search engines as well. Hopefully after you are done reading this article you will be able to set up a perfect blog to start making money with and have it ranked in the search engines in no time!
The first thing you want to do is find a good niche that you can make your blog about. The main purpose of having a blog is to give others information on things that you know about or learn about. Blogs should always be informative because this is what the business is about. When you choose a niche, start with one that has low competition that way you won't get frustrated with trying to get your blog to rank well in the search engines. Once you find the perfect formula on how to get your blog ranked then you can move onto a more popular niche.
Once you get your blog set up with content that is about your niche you are then ready to start bringing traffic towards it. It can really be frustrating trying to get so much traffic to your blog because you never know which way is going to work the best for you. The method that I use that works great is article marketing. You can get benefits from it in two different ways and that is with traffic and backlinks. You will need backlinks in order to rank high in the search engines. The more backlinks you have the higher the search engine ranking you will have.
The best way to use article marketing is by making a good author resource box. Don't write a story about your self or anything because people have short attention spans these days. Make sure that your links back to your blog are in your author resource box with anchor texts. Make sure that you use the main keyword you are trying to rank well for in the anchor text.
Its best to constantly keep your blog updated and ping it as it will get indexed very quickly. With the methods above, I am sure that you won't have a problem getting your blog ranked well in the search engines in less then a month.
