I have been collecting answers to a short survey, which is ongoing by the way ( Click Here to take survey ) and several people have requested that I talk about how to start a blog without paying upfront. In my Wednesday Internet Marketing Tip to my subscribers, I listed several ways to start a “no money down” blog. It included some well-known ideas such as Blogger and Squidoo. One idea that may not be as well known is MyNAMS.
Every MyNAMS member has a built-in blog among the various tools on the platform. Once you are registered, browse to the blogs section in the navigation.
Give your blog a title and write to your heart’s content. Every blog has its own URL that you can post to the social bookmarking sites and also announce on your social media accounts like Facebook & Twitter. Readers can post comments after they log in.
A cool feature of MyNAMS is that your profile picture and a text or image ad is attached to all of your content and links back to your profile . When a reader clicks on your signature ad, it can take them to a website of your choice including social media sites like Twitter or Facebook. Your profile at MyNAMS allows an incredible amount of information about you so that readers can get to know you and find other content you have posted across the MyNAMS community.
In addition to using MyNAMS to blog and drive traffic to other sites, you may want to take advantage of the free affiliate program. One idea is to offer easy & inexpensive websites to local businesses in your area. Pick up your local newspaper and look for ads placed by businesses that don’t have a website.
