			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>When thinking about this first blog post I went to google and searched &#8220;how to write your first blog post&#8221;  I got quite a few results and a lot of different opinions on how you should structure your first post.</p>
<p>Most articles had a list that went something like this:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Who You are.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Why Are You Blogging</strong></li>
<li><strong>What is this blog about and what will you be writing</strong></li>
<li><strong>Let your readers know how they can comment and get involved</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Made sense to me,  4 easy steps to writing your first blog post.  This is the post I&#8217;m supposed to WOW my new readers with and hook them into coming back to read what I write.</p>
<p>So now it&#8217;s my turn to fill in the blanks</p>
<p><strong>Who is Steve Vox?</strong></p>
<p>Actually SteveVox is the name of my web site. &#8220;Vox&#8221; is the latin word for &#8220;voice&#8221;.  My real<a href="http://www.stevevox.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/My-Head-Shot.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-17" title="Steve" src="http://www.stevevox.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/My-Head-Shot-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> name is Steve Brooks.</p>
<p>I am a entrepreneur, Online Marketer and Writer.  I have been online since 1994 and ran dial in BBS&#8217;s prior to that.  I work in the communications field full time.</p>
<p>I have created static web sites, wordpress blogs, made money with Adsense and sold stuff with Adwords.  I also have niche sites that promote affiliate products, etc.</p>
<p>I am a ebook junkie and am learning about making videos for the web. Some might say I have a Form A.D.D and jump around a lot and lack focus (Is true and I am working on it) <img src='http://www.stevevox.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I also play guitar and sing.  That&#8217;s a lot of I&#8217;s.</p>
<p><strong>Why am I blogging?</strong></p>
<p>I am always reading books, surfing the web and picking up new information.  I have helped people I know personally get online and make money and promote their business.</p>
<p>like helping people and would like to expand on that.  There are a ton of people online writing about making money from home but a lot of them have a different take on it and look at things from a different angle.  Everybody is unique and may have a new perspective.</p>
<p>The other reason I blog is to improve my writing.  The more you write the better you get.  I don&#8217;t claim to be a great write in fact it&#8217;s quite the opposite.  According to some I write horribly, but I don&#8217;t really care if it gets my point across in a somewhat understandable way. <img src='http://www.stevevox.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>What is this blog about and what will you be writing?</strong></p>
<p>As I hinted above.  This blog is about my take Internet Marketing, Making money online and working from home.  I lean towards the basics in business and using practical ways to get things done.  I am also in the get rich slow club.  I don&#8217;t subscribe to the &#8220;Get Rich&#8221; crowd and some of the absurd stuff I have heard online.  Business and marketing are a marathon not a sprint.  You need to be consistent in your actions and practice the basics everyday.</p>
<p>And last but not least..</p>
<p><strong>Let your readers know how they can comment and get involved</strong></p>
<p>I would love to hear from you. You can leave a comment in the space below the post.  Or you can email me at steve@stevevox[DOT]com</p>
<p>or I am on Twitter @stevevox</p>
<p>Well there you have it.  I don&#8217;t know if I Wow&#8217;ed anyone but I gave it a good shot.  I can&#8217;t promise this blog will change your life but lets see what we can do.</p>
