Blogging How -To’s

A Simple Blogging How To For You

It takes a little while for your blog to mature, but given that time, these blogging how-to’s will work for you:


Your Niche

Choose a niche and stick to it. Niche is the same thing as saying topic. It's where the money is. There's so much info on the web that it's impossible to be everything to everybody. So, clearly define your niche and always post with their wants and needs in mind.

If you are having problems choosing a niche then I suggest you blog about topic you have experience with. Did you know that information is the best selling product on the web? And, much of it is written in a "how to" format by authors who've experienced it first-hand.

Share your experiences with readers using the first person viewpoint. Readers will come to know, like and trust the info you provide. And, that will make it much easier for you to sell to them. It will also build up your credibility as an authority in your niche.


Your Posts

I encourage you to create a posting schedule. It makes it easier for readers to follow you. They will look forward to your posts. If your schedule is erratic, it will take you that much longer - if ever - to build up a loyal following. Posting Schedule Tip: Try to do so at least once a week.


Blog Interaction

You should also interact with other popular blogs in your niche. The most effective way to do this is by commenting on other popular blogs in your niche. Make your comments relevant. Don't just comment to comment. This is pointless and is a waste of time. Use the space to leave helpful, relevant feedback.


Plugins

If you are using a blogging platform that allows for customization then definitely get plugins. Plugins are things like "most relevant posts", "most recent posts", etc. They encourage readers to hang around longer. The longer a visitor stays on your blog, the more likely it is they will buy from you - whether right now or at some time in the future.


Blog SEO

If you want to get a flood of visitors to your blog then blog with search engine optimization (SEO) in Mind. What I mean by this is, center each post around a keyword phrase. The writing doesn't have to be bad to "force a phrase," just keep SEO in mind when you blog.

Many bloggers forget this. They tend to think in terms of articles or web content when they think of SEO. But, the concepts apply to blogging as well.


Marketing Your Blog

To get even more visitors to your blog don't forget to market your blog. Get mileage out of your posts. Employ social bookmarking and networking. Tweet your post on Twitter, post them to Facebook and MySpace, stumble them on StumbleUpon, etc.

Social bookmarking and networking tip: These are time-consuming marketing strategies because you have to interact with these communities to make this type of marketing effective. So just keep this in mind when you start with them.


To Succeed, Never Give Up

Last piece I have for this blogging how to is to not give up. Blogging is more time consuming than many think when they first start. This is why there are so many dead blogs on the web. But remember, success is a marathon, not a sprint. So don't give up!
