If you're new to blogging then you may have to get used to the global factor. Even if you're not new to blogging you still may have a hard time wrapping your head around the global marketplace. In the olden days a business or brand could reach the customers in their geographic area. If the product or service was really good, it might be shipped farther, but local businesses were limited in outreach. The internet has changed that all!

Now, when you post a blog it can be read by your friends and people from the other side of the world. This makes for an exciting experience. No longer are there any limitations on who you can reach with your message. If you have a charity, expect to have people from far away countries posting to your blog with encouragement. If you have an art-based blog, be ready for people from all over the world to chime in their opinion of your work.

There are a lot of advantages to the open global market. If you are selling or promoting something via your blog, get ready to increase your customer base exponentially. Just think- if you have 1,000 people visiting your blog and 0.1% purchase, that means you have 1 person who is buying your products. Now increase that visitor base to 100,000, a small portion of the global market. Now you should have 100 people buying. How’s that for a jump in revenue and promotion?

If you want to do a fun experiment with your blog, consider translating it into Russian for Golos.io. The fact is that Russian-speaking people are all over the globe. If you do start promoting your website in the language, expect to have a considerable base. Any doubt? Give it a try! Put the word out that you're using Russian as your blogs lingo and see what response you get. It’s part of the fun of global marketing and what the internet can do.

The internet can bring down the walls of logistics. While at one time people searched for solutions only in accessible local areas, those days are long gone. Now, it’s more about finding what you want and worrying about the logistics later. For example, if you find the perfect watch most likely the vendor you find online ships. They also likely ship at a highly affordable rate and at lightning speeds. Test it out- you need to experience how the internet and online blogging have changed the art market completely.

As you test out other languages you’ll prove to yourself that the market is bigger than ever. For those who are looking to reach people with their message, artwork or products, nothing is as powerful as the internet and what it can do for them with ease.
