Do you have a blog in your local language?

I am wondering if some non-English speaking fellow warriors have blogs in their local language. I am asking because a couple of days ago, I stumbled into an Indian (hindi) marketing blog and I was surprised to see the flag counter. The second, 3rd, and 4th visitors are from US, UK, AU and the US is very close to the Indian visitors.

What it means? It means that it is still possible to earn or sell CB products to English speaking people even if your blog is in your local language. Your primary target of course is people from your country who are living abroad.

I never created a blog in my own native language and thinking of starting one. Our official language is actually a mixed language (with 20% to 30% English).
Why not English? Because it is far easier to write a salescopy or convincing article in your native tongue.

What do you think?

    i would say if your blog has a good amount of traffic, use google analytics to see the demographics of the readers.

    Choose the second to best language and translate your website to that with WPML.
    Or you can always have your blog translated in different languages so it changes depending on readers location

    Sure there can be buyers but I think they are rare. For the most part traffic from abroad is from the people of that country living abroad. If there is something apealing to them they sure should buy. Adsense is the best choice in this case. DireTube - Ethiopian Largest Video Sharing Site which is English and Amharic site with adsense on it. It has hundreds of thousands of visitors monthly.

    I do not approve of this. As the English is the international language, many people does not know the local language, so every thing should write in English language. Local language should use only local place. on online place.

    I wouldn't write a blog in your local language or at least not to get english speaking buyers on there! But if you have good products in your own language on clickbank and enough traffic for this niche (do proper keyword research before) than go for it.
    Me for example I'm from Germany and I could start a blog in my own language because there are enough good products in german out there but I choose to go with the english language as the market is just bigger!
