Have you heard about the Microsoft Start blogging program? Is it for you? If you’ve been invited, should you join?

The Microsoft Start blogger program is relatively new, and there are a world of debate on the interwebs about whether this program is a good one for full-time bloggers, if it really helps your SEO, if reposting to the feed is the right use of your time, and more.

After being in the program a few months, I must admit that it is almost too good to be true! I’ll share what the program feed looks like, whether or not it’s good for SEO and your bottom line, how to move your posts over for syndication, and how to -ethically- stay on top of the feed.

Haven’t joined? We talk to you about the application process, also!
