The question around just picking up a blog for free, or a blog that you host yourself on your own registered domain name. This is simply the difference between a struggle marketing online with limitations or simply creating for yourself a nerve centre that can propel your marketing efforts.
To be clear on the difference there is a significant difference between a Self- Hosted WordPress Marketing Hub Blog and a one such as Blogspot.com or even WordPress.com. WordPress.com is not the same as a Self Hosted WordPress Site hosted on your own domain.
The bottom line is that a WordPress Marketing Blog site puts you in total control and to add just some of the basic's. Hosting it on your own domain name will not only give you a sense of ownership but will also send out a very strong business message to your readers.
Interaction via very specific plug-ins invite readers to on a more personal level that together with a well branded page will build confidence in your readership. After all it is all about relationships and this one factor is the key to your business in the long term.
Creating an opt-in form with a very compelling invite to your offer has to be a standard feature as well as connecting and linking to your social media sites. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube at least as these combined generate a lot of traffic.
So in summery it is simply small vs. big. The solution then to register a domain name for yourself and host it with a good hosting service.
