Really Awesome WordPress Review Site Plug-In
I recently had the pleasure of coming across a really cool WordPress plug-in called WP Review Site . It is a premium plug-in meaning you can’t download it free but to be honest with the money making potential from a plug-in like this is simply endless. Before you ask, the answer is Yes, I did purchase this product and currently using it! I love it…
WP Review Site enables you to your WordPress blog in to a full blown review site. Whether you want to have a review site for web hosting companies like AvekHost or review site for digital cames then opportunity is there and endless.
By using this plug-in you can create multiple categories for users/consumers to review a product or service on. Instead of the user seeing your standard comment section on an article post, they will see the comment section with a powerful review future included. You can see it in action on iHostCoupons.com.
Here is a few snap shots of this great plug-in…
1. Blog Post Article – Is transformed into an opportunity to post information about the product or service. It displays an overall rating based collectively on the reviews left in what used to be the comment section of your wordpress blog. Add Google Adsense for additional revenue making opportunities!
2. Abilty To Create Top 10 Ranking – This function enables you to allow your site visitors to see the top 10 rated products or services. For example, maybe you are maintaining a review site on digitial cameras you would see the top 10 cameras in this list based on the overall review.
3. Comment Section Transformed – This section looks very similar with the exception that the individual providing a comment can rate the product/service based on a few various categories.
4. Ability To See Reviews By Others – No different than a blogs ability to display user comments; users can see the review written by other users including how many stars the provided for each category.

Using A Blog To Promote Your Business
by: Zachary Thompson
Using a blog to promote your wellness business is a very effective marketing tool. What is great about using blogs is that you can promote your wellness business absolutely free. There are many places on the Internet that you can set up a blog without it costing you a single penny. With a new home business it is important to maximize promotion without spending all your profits on advertising and marketing. Using a blog is one of the methods that you can use to promote your wellness business without it emptying your business budget.
You do not have to be a computer wiz, internet wiz or programmer to set up an attractive blog. There are many places on the Internet that have blogs already set up for you. All that you have to do is create a free account, select the name for you blog and start making blog posts. It’s literally that simple without requiring that you know how to program or pay any type of membership fees or hosting fees. This is why blogging is ideal for promotion because it’s so simple to do.
Once you have your blog selected and your account created, it is time to name your blog. When selecting a name choose something that fits both the wellness industry and compliments the types of products that you will be promoting for your wellness business. For example, if you sell weight loss products you could name your blog something such as Skinny Tips. This would let others know the general theme of the blog.
The blog setup will ask you to create a description for you blog. Take the time to write out several descriptions until you have just the perfect one. The description that you post on the blog will often be what is used when search engines pick up your blog and list it in the pages. For the example of the skinny tips blog you could do a description such as helpful tips and information for weight loss. The description then further explains your blog so that more people are likely to read your posts because they will know what the blog is going to be about before they start reading.
What should you write about for your blog? One of the top things to write about is the general topic of the blog. Blogs with a lot of different topics can get confusing to readers. They are successful but the purpose of this type of business blog is to promote your wellness home business. If for example you had the Skinny Tips blog, you could write short pieces about losing weight, eating well and exercising. You can even write reviews for the different products that you are promoting. In the reviews, you can link directly to the product to encourage visitors to visit your main wellness small home business Internet site.
The primary purpose of blogs is to provide information. Providing a great deal of information is the key to a successful blog for business. You get people that would not normally visit a wellness product site to come and read your blog. After reading your blog on a regular basis, visitors will naturally go and visit your business site. Use the blog as a portal to get traffic to your website and not as a big advertisement. People will stay and read the information if it is informative and entertaining.
