When I started looking for ways to better my business I looked in two places: Google and YouTube. What I found was a lot of information on network/internet marketing.
I ran into a lot of new terms such as attraction marketing, backlinks, social bookmarking, etc…and although I know what these terms mean now, back then, the information was overwhelming.
The one great thing I like about blogs is that they are short and usually talk about one subject. So if I wanted to find something about attraction marketing, usually a blog will focus on that subject.
Another great thing about blogs are the comments as long as they’re valuable. I look at them as the extension of a blog. If a person added a valuable comment, I would go into their blog and see what I can learn from them. If I found some amazing information in these blogs, I would go ahead and share them.
It has gotten to the point to where I prefer to read blogs over listening to training calls, or even audio CDs. It feels like I gain more value with blogs and yet I get to know the person.
One site I discovered through reading blogs, would be considered a blogging community site. I found it very helpful and convenient.
This site works with google and you can actually target the blogs that you want to read!!
Let’s just say that you want information about feedreaders for your blog. You can actually type this in, and this site will do a google search. Once its done, it list some of the top sites that you can go to about feedreaders.
You can also check the rankings of these blog sites if you go to http://www.alexa.com. The better the ranking, the more traffic the site gets and the more that you’re exposed via your valuable comments.
Comment Luv is the site I’m talking about and if I was you, I would go ahead and create an account. It has more beneficial features that you can learn about.
So if you’re looking for another great way to get more traffic with your blogs and at the same time learn tips and tricks on how to grow your business, Comment Luv is the way to go.
If you found this information helpful please share it with others that may benefit from it by clicking on one of the links below “Please Share” in the left margin.
If you’re looking to take your business to the next level or are looking to start a home business, the best thing to do is to educate yourself. The problem is most people like to jump into an opportunity without being educated on the business or their compensation plan. This can result in years and years of frustration and failure. If you’re looking for the “How to’s” and a step by step process to grow your business than I’m more than willing to help you.

Hey Sherman,
I too love reading blogs. If only there was enough hours in a day to do so! I love them because you can feel that people are writing from their heart. It’s great to create that community on the web too. The bigger the Spider Web, the luckier you get.
Later,

Hey Sherman
I am with you on this. I have learned so much by reading blogs on topics I am interested in.
And I love ComLuv 🙂
I see you have a wordpress hosted blog. If you want your own self-hosted blog so you can add the Com Luv plugin and a whole bunch of other goodies I would be quite happy to host it for you for free.
I use GVO for hosting.

ComLuv is the great! I’ve learned so much from it besides the tribes I’m in on facebook.
Hey Peter I may look into into having a self hosted blog. I’ll keep you posted… Thanks for your comment!

Hi Sherman,
I find blogs a great source of information and have found some great blogs on the Facebook tribes. However, I do know about Comment Luv but thought it was just a place to share comments on blogs. You have opened my eyes. Personally I use Disqus but thanks for the heads up.

Comment Luv is probably one of the greatest things I discovered here online. The way that I found it was through reading someone else’s blog. What a coincidence lol .. This is why I also love the tribes on facebook. You meet great people and you learn a lot as well. Thanks for your comment Steve!

Nice suggestion on creating an account with Comment Luv. Im always looking for ways to check out other blogs & become a better blogger! You mentioned how you prefer reading others blogs than listening to training tapes, etc. We have something in common LOL!!! I actually wait until Im finished with all my marketing, prospecting, etc before visiting others blogs. Its soo much fun, I enjoy it!

Hey Charlene,
I do feel like I learn more from reading blogs than listening to training calls, or even audios sometimes. I feel like it’s more personal than anything. Thanks for your comment!!

You just learned something new Sherman,
I didn’t know you could find other related blogs with Comment Luv. That will help me a ton now that I have narrowed down to a very specific niche. I’ve been looking for related blogs the old fashioned way by using Google. This will really simplify it for me. Thanks for the value.

I really enjoy reading blogs too, but I do listen/view to plenty of videos as well. It takes time, I know, but the information I get from all these resources are incredibly valuable. With video of course I’d have to take down notes, unlike in the case of blogs where you can easily bookmark them or copy and paste as your resource. Eitherway, I think both can give great value, as long as you know how to pick the right ones to read or listen to. Thanks for sharing about CommentLuv, I’m checking it out now!
