A great reason to have a blog: blog value. That's right, BESIDES the leads and cash you generate from a blog, it has an inherent value all by itself. A blog with traffic and links is an appreciating asset for the owner. If you are interested in long term, income producing assets, a constant supply of leads, and you want to make cash online, blog ownership is a must.
There is more than one way to calculate blog value, a simple one being to do a goggle search for "how much is your blog worth," and type in your URL. It will tell you your blog value using just one criteria: links. In my case, it thinks my blog is worth $1,129.08. Not very much, dang it.
But would I actually SELL my blog for that much? Obviously not. Even though I'm a very part time blogger (I average 3-4 posts a week taking less than 20 minutes on each post) my blog value is very high.
Let me tell you what it's REALLY worth to me. According to Google analytics, my blog currently gets 6,093 visits per month. Now, 2,450 visitors are from a coop, which costs me $75 a month, and the visitors from it are fairly low quality, but it provides me a lot of leads so it more than pays for itself.
But how do you calculate the value of the natural traffic, in my case 3,643 of the visitors? Well, here's how I do it: My blog is focused on the network marketing industry, specifically online network marketing.
My PPC campaign that I run on other online network marketing campaigns costs me an average of .47 cents per click.
So each visitor to an online network marketing site, according to the very accurate market price determined by Google itself, is 47 cents per click.
Now, I get 3,643 visitors per month FOR FREE to my blog.
But if I had to PAY for them, it would cost 47 cents each, so:
3,643 * .47 = $1,712.21 PER MONTH! That's $20,546.52 per year of traffic!
In other words, if I didn't have a blog with natural traffic, I would have to pay $1,712.21 a month to buy that traffic, but instead I get it free at my blog.
Very cool. And it's fun, I enjoy it.
Savvy? So here's the question: do YOU have a blog?
Is it getting natural traffic? If not, you are leaving money on the table! Get yourself a blog right away, learn the skills necessary, and start enjoying free traffic, an appreciating asset, not to mention the actual leads and products you can sell on your blog to make additional cash.
