Top 5 Secrets To Blogging
I have been blogging for almost 4 months now, generating quite a number of visitors lately and I am very happy with my Alexa ranking as it just increased again to 134,000. Thanks guys for your kind support =)
I noticed when I teach my students there are few guidelines that many people fail to do for their blogs so I decided to write an article on my top 5 secrets to creating a good blog!
No. 1 Secret - CONTENT IS KING
Yes, you hear me right. Content is the most important in creating any blog. Without good content, will readers actually bother to come back to read your site? Not only must you have good content but it must be of quality content and do not be too concern about how your blog layout looks like! Anyway people come to your site for the content not to see your nice graphics.
Be as honest as you get in your articles. Do not be afraid to share your ideas in your comments, in fact I realized that the more honest and open I was in my articles, the more people were sharing my information around the Internet.
No. 2 Secret - Find A Good Niche Topic
Before, you go out there and setup your domain or blog. You first have to decide what topic you want your blog to talk about? Let’s say you are good at playing soccer and you want to focus on writing about soccer related topics. Find a good niche market on the internet to find out what people like to know about soccer and create a blog or site based on soccer only!
Example, my site www.gathersuccess.com it focuses mainly on helping others to improve on their sites with topics related to Internet Marketing. Why niche topic? Well the more targeted your topic is the more targeted your readers on your site will be.
Meaning those who visit your site often are the people that are generally interested to know about the topic you want to share!
So like me, I talk most of the time of topics related on Internet Marketing. Have you ever seen me write an article about dog food and soccer?
No. 3 Secret - Forums
Go to forums! Join communities that are related to your topics and share information in those forums, put your signature link in your forum postings to provide more information of your site. This will give you free traffic from visiting forum members.
No. 4 Secret - Install Feedburner
If you have a blog, and you’re not getting indexed by Google. You must install FeedBurner to your site. FeedBurner will help you announce to search engines what you have posted on to your blog to allow RSS readers to subscribe to your site and at the same time the search engine will index your entries on your site! More about feedburner at www.feedburner.com
No. 5 Secret - Register with Technorati.com
Because my website is not only a site but it is also a blog, I can submit my site to Blog Search Engine. One very famous Blog search engine you must know is Technorati.com. I got free traffic coming from Technorati.com every time I post something up onto my blog. It’s VERY useful. Register your blog at www.Technorati.com.
These are my top 5 secrets that I use and implement on my site, I hope you’ll do the same to yours too =) If you have not started a blog and have no clue on where to start, I have actually created a set of videos to help you create a blog in just 10 minutes at www.BlogCashGuide.com .
