Firepow Blog Software Review
Tuesday’s New Product Review
As blogging and in particular blogging for profit becomes ever more popular among online entrepreneurs, we’re seeing new tools developed to assist in this process being released, what seems like every week.
In this post I’m going to talk about one such tool, Firepow Blogging Software, because I believe it might just be a cut above the rest in terms of it’s flexibility of use, and overall effectiveness in accomplishing the three primary aims of blogging
- creating a blog,
- managing it or maintaining it, and
- getting traffic to it.
It’s hard to know where to start with this post because there are so many individual features of this software that I want to talk about.
To give you a brief overview of how it works…
Firepow is based on the Wordpress platform, and allows a user to install a fully customized and functioning Wordpress blog with a few clicks of the mouse. I’m talking about a Self-hosted Wordpress blog, not a free blog at Wordpress.com. The free hosted blog platforms have too many restrictions to be really effective in online marketing for most niches.
If you’ve used Wordpress before, you’ll know that one of the best things about it is it’s ability to be enhanced by third party plugins. You’ll also know that it’s not hard to get LOST in all the plugins and potential feature additions that CAN be made. Read these posts about what plugins you must have and the ones you might want.
The first great thing about Firepow from my point of view is that the plugin work has been done for you. The best 50 or so plugins from around the web have been programmed into the software so as to be automatically installed when your blog is installed.
That’s a good feature, but it’s even better when you consider that while these plugins normally require some fiddling with to get installed, tweaks made to your theme’s CSS code and more – the software actually does that part for you too – so you click the button, and you have the function of that plugin added – a great time saver!
The “Create” part of the process is also helped by the ability to create your own custom Wordpress theme completely from scratch, with more functionality than I’ve seen from free theme generators EVER before – not to mention the ability to create your own post categories from scratch, automatically create the perfect permalink structure for SEO, and more.
Before even getting into the Wordpress panel of the site Firepow creates you’ve also got a site management tab where all your blogs can be managed from one place, an SEO tracking tool to monitor the search rankings of all your sites, and a task manager that tells you what needs to be done to maintain your blog(s) and when.
I dare say though, that the best things happen once you’re actually IN the blog.
Here you have crazy abilities to make your post content better, easily being able to add relevant images, videos, or trackbacks (automatically building backlinks to your site) to your posts… and even that’s leaving a lot out.
Or, the abilities to monitor your blog’s success, like being able to split test the results of different posts, monitor your traffic through in-depth reporting (utilizing Google Analytics), monitoring your search spider activity, the popularity of your posts, the terms people are searching on your site, and more still. All of these enhancements are the ones I covered in the two posts mentioned earlier where you install these plugins one at a time.
I feel like I’m getting too salesy in this post to you but I can assure even with everything you’ve read here, I haven’t even really touched the surface of what’s going on inside this thing called Firepow – heck I didn’t even get to the promotional tools.
The best thing I can probably do is tell you go to look at the darn thing yourself:
Oh and I could also tell you that if you’re into blogging and you don’t, you’ll probably regret it big time. If you don’t want your own blog but think the software is great, sign-up for the affiliate program and sell the crap out of it. It could be a good recurring income for you.
After you check out the Firepow software come back here and leave your comments. All comments left on my blog have an automatic trackback to your website, so you get another inbound link to help boost your page rank.
