A List of Very Good Blogging Tools
Okay, here's some free blogger tools which we've used successfully. All you have to do is sign up for them, and then follow their simple instructions. Remember, the more ads you post out there, the more likely it is that people will happen upon your ad, and then follow your advice! Have fun writing some ads. Here's a hint: if you like what you've written, other people will probably like it too!
We'd like to keep this list growing, so if you have a blogger tool you think others should be using, please tell me so at RandomCalling@yahoo.com Remember, the more people who are successful with BMX, the faster all of your own spots will fill within the main matrix!
Blogger.com
Blogger.com will allow you to post an unlimited number of blogs. As far as I can tell, they remain on the web permanently. They also offer a number of very cool (and 100% free) blog templates, so you can have fun playing with your own designs. Additonally, they will allow you to attach "comment blogs" to your original entries, so you don't have to choose design options each time. Very handy, and a beautiful tool, especially considering it's 100% free!
Ablewise.com
Ablewise.com lets you post ads which will remain active for 30 days, and then disappear. The advantage of this is that it cuts down on the competition from people who might otherwise run thousands of ads in and around yours. They offer some options (at a nominal cost) which may help to get your ads seen, such as red highlighted titles, etc. I suggest you try running some ads for free, and then if you like the results you're getting, then go for the fancy stuff.
Free-Press-Release.com
Free-Press-Release is a little bit tricker to use than the blogs mentioned above. Firstly, they require their members to go through a screening process (it's pretty easy), and then once they are accepted as members, they are allowed to post permanent ads to their search engine/server. The main advantage seems to be that, once posted, their ads are extremely visible. Once you have some really good ads written, I would suggest you become a free member of FPR, and post some ads. I can pretty much guarantee that they will be seen by thousands of people.
More to come soon...!
