On September 28, 2004 I set up and launched my first business blog, Biz Tips Blog (no longer active). Eight years later, I have published thousands of posts on 10 blogs built on TypePad including Build a Better Blog (most were for specific purposes and are no longer active) , my primary blog here, using Wordpress, blogged for my previous company at a blog on Square Space, and recently launched a blog-site for a new project co-founded with Ellen Britt at The Future of Ink. I've set up blogs for clients, taught blogging, written about blogging and now consult on how to effectively use a blog to build a business.
I can't think of a better tool for businesses to use to get known, get found and create a repository of valuable content that helps prospects make informed decisions about working with your company.
I'm celebrating 8 years of blogging and still going strong! And, I invite you to celebrate with me!
It's Brag About Your Blog Day and I would like you to help me create a massive list featuring your blogs! In 2004, hardly anyone was using a blog as a business tool. And now, if you don't have a blog, well, good luck attracting enough interested eyeballs to your site.
I want to celebrate you and you blog!
Here's the deal…I'm creating the Big Brag About Your Blog List on my latest favorite tool, List.ly.
That means you can add the link to your blog and will be be forever on this list. Not only that, you can share this list, vote on your favorite blogs and even embed the list in a post on your own blog. How cool is that!
The more people who participate, the better for everyone. The potential for more traffic from interested readers is the goal here…more visibility, more traffic, more leads, more readers…
Before I get to the list, I also have a special blogging celebration deal for you…
For three days, through September 30, you can save 35% ($20) on my popular webinar on demand, “From Blog to eBook: How to Create New Revenue Streams with Amazon’s Kindle Ebook Program”. Click here and use coupon code 8YEARS to get the program for only $37.

I would like to brag about my blog http://www.assistingauthors.com.
I find the best content I can to help authors promote their books online. I am especially proud of my series on Pinterest. I not only wrote about how promote books using Pinterest but I made Pinterest boards as examples to illustrate the process. I also made boards for authors to upload their book covers and book trailers. I invite all authors here to email me at pfriesler@wi.rr.com for invitations to post on Pinterest to take advantage of this free publicity. They can find me on Pinterest at pinterest,com/janisfriesler.

As a where-are-all-the-blog-posts-I-was-gonna-do blogger (I use the term with tongue in cheek), I love the inspiration you offer, Denise. You were the first blogging expert I knew. In fact, I think I still have a tape (yep, TAPE!) from a workshop you did with Joan Stewart…..100 years ago or so. Congrats on 8 years! Thanks for all you share.

Julian Venter recently posted..SEO in Cape Town and how websites have changed in SA
Hi I came here from twitter I am sort of tired and fed up with my blog and it’s performance and may quit trying to promote it. I usually get a few sales every month but it is a huge site with over 100 posts not all published yet. It has been my on-line site for years and I really need to get it on a better site manager so I can fully show a directory . I am thinking of putting the whole site on a Joomla site management system and using the drop down menu to give visitors a better way to use all the information. The site gets about 150 visits a day. It was deindexed from Google and still gets that traffic my site stats say about one in ten visits from google.

I am an ex executive who discover blogging by accident. I have never looked back. I write and illustrate stories about life and the lessons we learn. They have become wildly popular.
I share super easy recipes and wines that we enjoy. It’s all about life and enjoying everyday in every way.
What makes my story a bit different is I am dyslectic, which makes writing a much greater challenge for me then it is for most. Come visit my blog and let me know what you think.

Denise,
What’s this discrimination against non-facebook members and non-twitter members. I am in the process of establishing my business and am giving priority to my content-rich website and blog. I have not yet joined facebook or twitter, although I will do so in time.
I am in Google+ and LinkedIn, so you can check me out there. I have actually included you in one of my Google+ Circles. Truthfully, I am not yet fully au fait with these platforms and consequently, I don’t think I’m using them effectively.
My blog is http://chironthebusinessdoctor.com/profitsorperdition/ if you would like to add it to your list yourself.
Before i go, may I offer my congratulations for your eight years of online success in a very difficult, constantly changing, seriously competitive business environment that included navigating around the adverse effects of the GFC.
sincerely,
Graham
