Free Blogs
- Image via Wikipedia
Virtual Assistants can help clients set up and maintain free blogs. My two favorite places to set up free blogs are blogger.com and wordpress.com.
Do not get me wrong – everyone should have a hosted blog on their own domain. This is not a free blog, but it is not expensive and it can generate great marketing results.
The reason to also set up some free blogs is that they can help someone in many ways.
- Free blogs will help you lock up more search engine slots.
- Free blogs can help you with linking to important resources.
- Free blogs get indexed very fast.
When I post something that I want to drive traffic to on a blog, such as this post, I would also go out to some of my free blogs and write summaries (just a few unique sentences) and include a link with good anchor text in it linking to this blog post. For example, I would use free blogs as the anchor text to this article.
The reason this is a perfect job for a Virtual Assistant is because it does have long term value, is often glossed over by time-strapped clients and because it is not something that takes a great deal of Internet Marketing Training to do.
Once the free blogs age some, they have high value and will help your posts rank higher for their keywords.
Virtual Assistants need to know how to do this and to understand the benefit, so they can convey to the client exactly why they are paying for this service.
