It’s a New Year! Today is Jan. 2nd and I am absolutely brimming with excitement about what this year holds in store. But, not just for me. I can’t wait to hear about the incredible things that happen to you this 2009!
To help you get your year started right I want to share with you a daily kick that is both very powerful, but also a little bit time consuming. Quite simply what you need to do is blog. But, not just once. Three times.
Blogging three different ways.
This is going to take a kick to get started. But, the rewards are greater than the investments.
What you need to do… today… is set up three different blogging accounts for three separate blogs. Yes, I said three. It’s easy. Trust me.
There is a reason for my madness here. By using the resources available on the internet for free promotion of your website, you are able to spread your name, brand, and offers in a much wider area than if you kept everything in one playground. I’m going to use a basketball example to help illustrate this.
In basketball there are five players on the court at a time. They must work together (passing, communicating, setting screens, moving without the ball, and other basketball terminology) in order to move the ball past the opponent’s defense and score. And not just once, but many, many times during the course of a game. Your blogging campaign is much like a basketball team. You need more than one player. You can have one really good player, but you need more than one.
Each “player” helps you to move the ball around by actively sending traffic to the “basket” (that would be your main website where your sales pitch is made). The players are the blogs, the blog posts, the guest posts, the comments… pretty much everything that happens at that blog. Only it’s not just one… there’s three. At least.
Set up your new blogs
This post is not a tutorial on how to set up a blog. What I’m going to do, though, is give you direction on where to go that will make setting up your three new blogs fairly easy and straightforward.
Blog #1. Go to Blogger.com and start an account. It’s free and it’s pretty simple.
Blog #2. Go to Wordpress.com and start an account. Again, it’s free and fairly straightforward.
Blog #3. This blog is going to be a self-hosted blog. That means it’s not free. You need to have a web host account and then set up a blog of your own. This sounds a little bit daunting, but it can be done pretty easily. Here’s how…
1. Go to Dreamhost.com and get started with a very cheap hosting account. You can get hosting for as little as $5.95 a month.
2. Register a domain name through the same account. You get a free domain name with you order so that makes things easier and cheaper. If you want to add more they are only $9.95 a year.
3. Once your account is started and your domain is registered Dreamhost has a great feature. They have this thing called “One Click Install”. Basically what it does is installs your choice of extras to your website. Even Wordpress blog platform. You don’t have to download anything. Just click it, set up some information and it’s ready.
Each Different, But The Same
Before you go off to do your merry blogging keep this in mind.
While your blogs are all teammates they should all have distinct personalities. What I mean by this is that while being the same niche, they should be different in topic. Each blog stands is basically the same niche, but are focusing on a different topic within that niche. This way you can attract different visitors than you would with just one blog. See, teammates working together for the benefit of the team.
Another consideration to keep in mind is that you should mix up the info so you aren’t using duplicate content. If you write a blog post for one blog that could be used on the others reword them and use different phrases throughout each post.
Of course, original content for each blog would be a huge benefit to your traffic, and more importantly your search engine rankings. Don’t let that scare you. They don’t all have to be 1000 word posts. Short, concise 200 word posts are just as effective.
So….
Go start those blogs. Get them set up and start posting. Stay consistent at it and you’ll begin seeing traffic coming to your main site through three different funnels.

Blogging Training In A Simple Easy To Understand Training
Gideon and Yaro are great teachers who go well out of their to teach people interested in blogging to go through all the steps and get started in a painless, non-confusing way.
As someone who has bought some of Yaro’s stuff in the past, I can say that everything is very well presented so that you don’t have to consult other sources to figure out what is being taught. However, I think the best thing about Become A Blogger is that it’s not all at once.
Training in intervals.
Taking into account that people are busy and don’t have a lot of time to sit down and digest volumes of information and hours of video, Gideon and Yaro have developed an amazing six month program that delivers each module in a systematic and timely manner.
