If you are reading this post you have finally jumped onto the blog phenomenon that is going on right now and have realized that just having a blog and posting to it is not enough. The thing that most people do is start a blog, write a couple posts and when that doesn’t make them a millionaire overnight they say that it does not work and they give up.I have only been blogging seriously for the past four months and I am really blown away by the response that I am seeing with this strategy. Since I am relatively new to the whole blogging arena, I have had to spend a great amount of time learning how it all works.
It is very frustrating when you first get started because although you are putting in the work, you are not really seeing any results. Blogging is like anything else in the fact that if you continue to work at it, you will get better and your results will start to grow. As your blog begins to grow, blogging will become easier and you will begin to see more monetary results.
Lets Get started.
The first thing that you need to be doing is creating valuable original content. A blog is a content site, and if you are not providing first rate content, no matter how much traffic you can pull into your blog you will see no results.
When it comes to blogging you have to be consistant, you have to be posting content on a regular basis. You want the search engines to be running through your site as much as possible. The search engines want feed on content so if you continue to provide it, they will continue to rank you accordingly. Consistancy Is Powerful.
Search Engine Optimization-
Face it. Google, Yahoo and MSN are the kings of the internet world and if someone is looking for a piece of information it is a safe bet that they will be going to one of these sites to find the information that they seek. You need to make sure that your blog is setup for success from the start.
All in 1 Seo Pack is a wordpress plugin that will allow you fill in the blanks and optimize your blog for the search engines. It automatically places the title, description and keywords into the background of your blog in the right places.
Social Media
Second to search engines comes social media. Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Friendfeed and countless other social sites are powerful powerful stuff to get your blog noticed. When you start using social media to promote your blog it allows all the spiders from the search engines to find your “stuff” much easier.
Most social media sites allow you to have a link in your profile, use that space to link to your blog so that when people come to find out a little bit more about you, they are send directly to a blog that shows them all the value that you have.
As you develop more friends or contacts in social media keep an eye on what they are talking about, if they are asking questions you should be using your blog posts to give them answers and this will postion you and your blog a a source of information. As your social media friends visit your blog for answers have them leave a comment so that those pesky search engines will see new content on your blog.
Social Bookmarking
If you really want to harness the power of social media then I highly suggest using the OnlyWire plugin. This simple plugin will allow you to post to over 25 different social media sites with the click of a button. I have had results of hitting #2 in Google within 14 minutes using OnlyWire.
Blog Commenting.
This is a great strategy to use for a couple reasons. The first thing is that it will give you a direct way to get exposure. People will see your face and the added value that you have brought to the post and they will click to see who you are and what you have to offer.
The second thing is that it will give you a one-way link back to your site. When you have links back to your site the search engines see it as a site of importance and will give you a little more seo juice.
Blog Carnivals
Blog carnivals are a great source of traffic. Although most people don’t know anything about blog carnivals they are really pretty simple. All they really are is a community of links that are grouped into different topics. If you are searching a blog carnival for a specific topic, there will be a list of links that are targeted to that specific keyword. If you are using the all-in-1 Seo pack then you will have the keywords to send traffic to your blog.
Blogroll
This is again something that most people do not pay much attention to. A blogroll is simply a list of other related blogs on your site. As you gain more and more contacts and followers, just ask them if they want to “swap” links. As you build a network of people you will have your blog link on more and more other blogs giving you more exposure.
Utilizing Your List.
This is one of those things that I noticed very early in my internet marketing career. As you are building a business you must be building a list, you should know that the money is in the list. When you create a post that has a ton of value, a quick way to get people to your blog is to send out an email blast to your list with a link to your post. Don’t forget to tell them to leave a comment and share it with their followers on their social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.
