What you should know about blogging, part 2
What you should know about blogging, part 2
A few days ago we looked at 5 things you should know about
blogging before setting up your blogs. Today we’ll look at
the last 5. So here goes …
6. Know what topics to avoid. The common subjects to stare
away from are religion, politics, race and sex. Except your
blog is about these subjects them except you want to scare
away a segment of your audience then play it safe and stay
away from these subjects.
7. Use your keywords in your blog titles. Now keep in mind
that one of the major functions of your blogs is to draw
search engine traffic and get high ranking for your niche
keywords. You should therefore know what keywords you want
to rank highly for and use those keywords in your blog
titles and early in the posts (first paragraphs). Also if
you have more than one blog within the same these then
interlink them by all means.

8. Expect your blog audience to grow incrementally. If you
expect too much results too soon then you can quickly give
up and think that blogging is not productive. It takes time
for the word to spread that your blog is really great and
then the viral effect will take over. So be sure to give
yourself ample time to grow your blog and know that you’ll
reap the rewards later. It’s NOT an overnight thing.
9. Know just how much to reveal. Now keep in mind that if
you give away all your secrets then your audience has no
reason to buy your product or service. Also remember that
just as you are reading the blogs of your competitors they
are reading your blogs as well. So don’t reveal too much
but still give enough value to keep your readers coming back
for more.
10. Don’t lose sight of your real reason for blogging. If
you get caught up in the moment you can easily lose focus
and forget that you are blogging to build your customer
list. You are not trying to win a writing award or keep
people entertained but to make money. So you need to keep
this in mind in everything that you do. So don’t be shy
about recommending affiliate programs from which you’ll
receive compensation. It’s all a part of making the blog
pay for itself. Your time is important, so use it wisely.
Blogging is a great opportunity to build relationships with
your customers and a stage for you to showcase your
expertise.
