The second reason it that Google really likes blogs and in particular a WordPress blog. You can set it up for search engines to easily crawl them, as long as you do some good keyword research.
The second point was to have a good auto responder and I would always recommend using Aweber. The delievery in excellent and the service is outstanding.

Hey Tristram,
All of the things you mentioned are very important, especially the self hosted WP blog. WP is very powerful and you can make almost any type of website you need, especially with the thesis theme. I use it and many others use it as well. You don’t need to be a programmer in order to use thesis, plus it’s very search engine friendly.
Anyone who needs help setting up or maintaining a WP blog can contact me at I would be happy to help you set up your blog.
Thanks Tristram for sharing and have a good one!
