I would like to start this part by asking you a question: Why Plugins? Why i stressed the importance of Plugins when talking about a WordPress blog?

Plugins are very important for your small business blog. Assuming that you are creating a blog to make money then you need to understand how critical it is to monetizing your blog. Plugins function to interest in your pages and provide extended functionality. The ability to post a comment via email may increase the traffic.

At the beginning you need to decide how you will make money from your WordPress blog. You have a few options like:

  • Digital products (eBooks)
  • Shopping cart
  • CafePress
  • On-Line Surveys
  • Google Adsense
  • Affiliate Programs

Actually there are many other options when it comes to making money from your blog. Sky is the limit. Just use your imagination and find some creative ways to make money from your blog. You can make money from your blog, while using it as a billboard for announcing the latest developments regarding your company.

A blog can be used for practically anything a traditional webpage is used for. You may setup an online Audio/Video e-Course that is accessed by members who pay a monthly or weekly subscription like Blog Mastermind program by Yaro Storak.

In the next part i will give you a list of remarkable plugins which will lead you to success when blogging for your small business. Until then, please ask me anything you are curious about the topics we discussed so far. I see every question i receive as a valuable feedback to rethinking about small business blogging. So please ask me as many questions as possible.
