What you should know about blogging, part 1
As on an online marketer blogs are a viable means of calling
attention to your business and showing off your knowledge in
your niche. This is what you must have in mind when you
decide to create a blog. Many people blogs just to generate
links to their websites but they can also be a source of
very targeted traffic.
Here are 10 essential things that you should know about
blogging.
1. A blog is like a two-way conversation with your
audience. Much like a forum you can expect that when you
share your opinions that your readers will also have their
opinions as well. This is what will build relationship and
add momentum to your blog. Be prepared for your topics to
lead into other subjects that you didn’t even anticipate.
2. Be consistent with your posting. You have to develop a
consistent rhythm with your posting so that if you post
weekly be sure to post every week, or daily make a post
every day. If you become irregular then so will your
audience. The ideal is at least twice per week if you want
to keep your blog active.
3. You need to look at other blogs in your niche to find
out what people are already saying and what the popular
topics of discussion are. In this way you can be
intelligent in what is happening and also carve out a niche
for yourself that sets you apart from your competition.

4. You are communicating with your online audience through
writing so you have to know how to write. This doesn’t mean
that you have to be a Shakespeare but your grammar and
spelling should put people off. The same way in which
you’ll write on a public forum or in an email should suffice
for this. Be sure that you showcase your personality
though—this wouldn’t hurt at all.
5. “Listen” to what your audience is saying in their
comments in order to find out how to better serve them.
These comments will help guide in way that you can make your
blog better. Your blog is not just a mirror. You’re writing
just to hear yourself but to serve your audience, so be sure
that you are hitting your target.
Stay tune for the remaining 5 great tips.
