Many people think there is magic behind a blog that makes it rank high on search engines.
For that reason, people can make money with very little effort, much less than they put to create traditional web site.
Nothing is further from the truth.
However, you can still produce consistent results with your blog if you follow these tips.
Before that, let me clarify this.
A blog is just a tool.
It makes the publishing process much easier.
You don't have to know HTML at all to be able to blog.
If you already have a blog and want to grow it, here are things you need to do: 1.
Produce great content People will not be interested to read another blog.
There are already millions of them.
If you want to start a blog, make sure you have a unique selling proposition that makes the readers want to read your blog over others.
Remember that people only have so much time in a day.
If they can't spend more time and sacrifice TV, for example, they have to put off another blog just to read your blog.
With so many competitors nowadays, you have to make your blog stand out from the rest.
A word about competitor though, with great content, they are going to be your partners because bloggers tend to link to others who are able to provide value to the industry they serve.
2.
Produce content regularly You need to write regularly.
This is the key to engaging the audience.
Once you hook them up, you need to provide content to keep them coming back.
If you fail, they will soon give up and go to another blog.
There are always more options out there.
Don't waste your time attracting the audience if you don't have time cultivating the relationship.
This is one big mistake that I made in the past.
I wrote a bunch of content, just to quit because I was no longer interested in the topic.
That's why I suggest that you have passion about the topic that you choose.
That is a real advantage.
3.
Have a purpose What's your point in blogging? Do you want to attract the readers, build the trust and recommend products? Are you going to build your list? If so, make sure you always see your offer whenever they come to your site or read your blog posts in the RSS feed or in the email.
By focusing on your outcome, you are likely to reach your goal.
