I was thinking the other day that we, as a Internet enabled generation, spend a good deal of time online. Whether at home, at the local Wi-Fi hangout, or even on our phones, we spend a lot of time reading what others are saying about their business. Stop it! At least long enough to make sure your business is being seen too. Read more…
If you learn anything about blogging, let the first rule be to always use keyword and keyword phrases in all your posts. Without them your SEO (search engine optimization) efforts will fall short. Why?
People who search on specific subjects tend to search mostly by the words they think are relevant to the results they want to find. For example, If a person wants to purchase an RV (recreational vehicle, otherwise known as a motorhome), and wants to know what the price and/or ratings are, they might search using these keywords: Read more…
Bloggers want to be popular. Not all are. My goal, and yours, is to have as many subscribers sign up as possible. Why?
Even in its infancy a blog can have a great deal of traffic, but is that traffic able to be monetized? Only if they come back. This means that when writing your blog you have to engage the reader and make them want to read more, especially what’s not written yet. The way to do this is to have them subscribe. Here’s why… Read more…
I
I have found that there are relatively few (that can be found anyway) companies that make it easy to monetize your blog. I haven’t found all of them yet, but will share with you those that I use.
Of course, not all blogs are the same, and not all will have the same result. However, if you are diligent in your efforts, analyze your traffic, and write regularly, you can make money from your blog too!
Turn your blog into a book!
I just saw an ad on Facebook that sent me to a site where they will create a softcover (or even just a PDF) of one’s blog. I thought this is a great idea, except for a few caveats.
First, if I was to do that, I would not be so spontaneous with my posts. In other words, I would actually design each post to be part of a different chapter in the book. For example, I would use the categories to organize the thoughts of one chapter. Each post would be a portion of the chapter, and I could write in whatever order I chose as long as I controlled the content through the categories (or chapters). Read more…
You!
In the old days, we only had professional reporters who would write news. A group of people called editors would decide if the articles were a good fit for the newspaper or magazine, and then print it. The only way one would see it is if they purchased that particular periodical. Enter the 21st century… Read more…
Tweet your blog for promotion
I wanted to tell you how I am using the Google Analytics and Twitter promotion together, and how to gauge the success of your promotional efforts. This assumes that you have signed up for and installed the Google Analytics code into the footer.php file of your Wordpress blog. Now, here’s what to do… Read more…
Since signing up for Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook I have found that people have found automated tools to generate content, tweets, etc. without even knowing what they are posting. This makes me just block them. Why? Read more…
Social Media promotes Blog traffic
I know I am jumping a little ahead at this point, but there is a reason for it. I’ve discovered that I have been doing things a little backwards. Here’s what I mean:
I have been in the habit of setting up the blogs and trying to promote them before I really build a base in the social media sites. What I have now discovered to do is to build a following first, then build the blog. Read more…
In choosing a theme for the subject of your blog, pick something that you know well. If you love dogs, and you think you can write something about them everyday, then choose a subject related to dogs. If you feel you are the type of person that can utilize resources in gathering information about any subject, then the sky is the limit.
Whatever you choose to do, make sure that you like it, you can write about it, it interests others, and a post per day is not too much.
