That way, each recipient of your email has an opportunity to click on your link and see your awesome blog.

Having a blog or website that you can control opens up the door of opportunity for your business online. So, let’s go through some basics first…

* Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and intended for the general public
* A blog is a website in which items are posted on a regular basis.
* A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and web links.
* An online journal.
* A blogger is someone who owns or operates a blog and blogging is considered updating or writing posts on your blog

When you set up a blog for yourself you’re instantly adding to the professionalism of you and your business. Establishing yourself as an expert and authoritative figure is crucial to success in any industry. Having your own online presence with your own customized website that you have control over will help accomplish this.

The most important benefit, by far, of having your own blog is the ability to build an opt-in list. An opt-in list is built when people who visit your blog submit (opt-in) their name and email address in exchange for something that will benefit them. In most cases it’s a free newsletter or special report containing high-quality information that is of great interest to the visitor.
