(Newswire.Net — April 1, 2013) Minneapolis,MN — What are blogging platforms?
Blogging platforms are online sites where you can create a blog without having to build your website from scratch. Some popular blogging platforms are Blogger, Tumblr, WordPress and Squidoo. A relatively new blogging platform that is exploding in popularity is the Empower Network.
The Google Trends graph for the Empower Network (EN) from its start in October 2011 looks like the path up Mt. Everest. It’s not straight up, but is easily a 60 degree climb. The popularity of the network raises the question “What’s all the excitement about?” The Empower Network boasts that it successfully teaches newbies how to market online.
The EN’s Alexa rankings are also impressive. Globally the EN’s rank is 415 and in the United States the rank is 155. Alexa Traffic Rank is a measure of websites popularity. The rank is based upon the number of visitors to a website in the last 3 months.
Reviews of the Empower Network
Alexa.com shows 36 reviews of the EN, of which 35 are positive. 34 reviews give 5-Sstar ratings, 1 gives a 4-Star rating and 1 gives a 1-Star rating. One 5-Star reviewer describes the Empower Network thusly…
“Empower Network is quite the viral blogging platform. Because of its respectable ranking and quality content, it has my attention. Anyone who wants to blog or write articles to get their message out to the world would benefit by becoming a contributor.”
The high Alexa rank of the EN or any website allows all of its members blogs to get more attention online. As the saying goes, a rising tide raises all ships. Examples of other websites that share this advantage include Tumblr.com (US Alexa traffic rank of 18), Squidoo.com (US Alexa traffic rank of 205) and Blogger.com (US Alexa traffic rank of 48).
Several things that can make a blogging network unique.
There is a simple business model used by bloggers to make money online. First you build a good website with valuable information in a targeted area. Build it and they will come. The valuable information on the website gets noticed by the search engines which in turn drive traffic to the website. While the website focuses on providing valuable information, it also lets visitors know about products related to the topic that can be purchased. This is often referred to as affiliate marketing.
You can hear hoots and hollers online among affiliate marketers whenever a really good affiliate product comes out. A good affiliate product means potentially great profit for affiliate marketers.
What makes a good affiliate product?
Three simple things: the product is in demand, the product has a high sales price, there is a good commission on the product. There is a significant demand for training in internet marketing. Data from Google suggests that about 6000 people search for internet marketing training courses each month via just three keyword phrases (learn internet marketing, internet marketing course and affiliate marketing course). The explosive growth of the Empower Network is explained by this ongoing interest in internet marketing, by the high demand for its specific internet training products and the high commission (100%) affiliates receive when they sell Empower Network products.
