Blogging has probably been the most fun internet marketing activity I’ve undertaken in my online business. I love to write, and reach out to my website visitors with new information, news, reports, opinions, or articles that I’ve created that expose a little of my personality and give my readers something they want to hear. Not only is it fun, but it’s free, profitable, and generates hoards of traffic to your site, provided that you make quality posts with quality content and know how to market your blog. There are good ways and bad ways to blog, so here are a few essential things to keep in mind when making your blog posts:
First you have to write something that people will be interested in reading, and reading regularly. Posting your articles to your blog is the best way to get quality content on your blog, but it’s also good to write about your own personal experiences and opinions. Your articles should be at least 500 words, and your personal comments can be shorter, but still containing quality content. You don’t want to post just one fantastic article packed with content, you want to post many, and try to make a blog post every day, every other day, or even weekly so that your readers know that your blog is fresh and updated regularly. The first few months that your blog is launched are critical months when you want to attract a readership and give them enough that they bookmark your site to come back to it frequently. Giving your blog a domain name that’s easy for them to remember and represents your content with good keywords is also a good idea.
There’s another thing you can do with your original articles to gain exposure to your blog, and that is submitting them to a blog carnival. This means submitting them to a site that features and summarizes maybe 5 quality articles on a specific topic. Other blogs will link back to this carnival host, giving you more quality traffic. Also, when you make a blog post, you can link to other people’s blog articles, which leaves an entry on their post to your post. It may attract other bloggers to you, who may in turn link back to your posts. Read the rest of this entry »
