My name is Matthew Bredel and as of March, 2007, I am a full-time, work-at-home internet marketer.
For close to 10 years, I worked for a defense company which was an OK job, but I was so uninspired in life and frankly, I needed some more money. That is when I first discovered internet marketing! Now I admit that I didn't start making thousands in my first couple of months (in fact, I lost my shirt!), but I finally saw the "internet light"...
Everyone hears about blogging these days, but the question in your head is probably: Why should *I* blog?

Everyone hears about blogging these days, but the question in your head is probably: Why should *I* blog?
When I first got into the online money making business, I had heard of blogs (or “web logs”), but really I did not have much interest in them. A bunch of my friends had blogs where they wrote silly things about what they dreamt last night, or what they ate for dinner, or they posted a favorite poem of theirs. I kind of said to myself “who cares”. Why should I waste my time writing a web log entry when I can be doing more important stuff online (like making money!).
“Who cares?” Well, the answer to this question is a lot of people! In fact, the people who care about this the most are the two most important entities currently on the world wide web:
- Search Engines
- Web Surfers
Why do search engines care so much about blogs? Simple! Blogs provide the world with a lot of good, unique and consistant CONTENT! This is what the world wide web is all about: CONTENT and INFORMATION. If you have something to say in the world that is different from everyone else, it fills another little hole in the enormous ether-space of the web. If I chose to write about “Green 3-Eyed Lizards”, for example, the search engines want to know about it and index it just in case someone else in the world wants to learn more about this.
Which brings us to the second important entity: Visitors! Even though *I* thought that my friends blogs were kind of stupid, other people find them fascinating. There are a lot of people surfing the web and only if one-millionth of a percentage actually visit your blog, you will find yourself with a relatively large amount of traffic.
Blogs create a few great things:
- Traffic
- Search Engine Optimization
- Earnings!
Since search engines love content, blogs seem to get indexed rather quickly. Visitors and readers can create backlinks which improves your page rank. Then, you can share this page rank with other websites that you manage (while giving it a little bit of traffic, too). Or, if page rank is not what you care about, I am sure advertising is! People make 6-figure salaries just by writing blogs. At this level, SEO is important. But blogging for money, whether it is a few dollars per day or a thousand dollars per day, is still one of the best (and easiest!) ways of being heard, gathering traffic, building SEO, and even making a little (or a lot!) of money online today.

I started blogging to be able to get feedback from people about my eBook, and to tell people about my eBook, to be able to ‘Pre-sell’ it.
That way to make them curious enough to have them wanting to take a look at the Sales Page in my Webstore. This probably counts as ‘Creating Earnings’.
As a side effect I also discovered ‘Affiliate Marketing’, and ‘Adsense’ etc. etc. creating even more Earnings.
All the Best,
