Tips On How To Run A Blog

By Bill Fletcher

When starting a blog, think long and hard about what you want the subject to be. If you develop a readership base, you’re well on your way to success. Whether your blog contains humor or information about movies, blog posting is something that you can make new and interesting.

As you are thinking about your blog, what is it you want to accomplish?  Are you blogging for leads?  Blogging to make a sale of your product?  Or are you blogging to communicate?

This makes a difference in the style of your blog posts.  If you are looking for leads, you want to offer information on a subject that Rudeis of interest.  What are people looking for that they need your information?  Offer advice, tips, suggestion, etc.  Follow that with your “lead” magnet.  What ever you do…do not “PITCH” your business opportunity or product.  That will simply push people away.

Other Tips On How To Run A Blog

You need to make it a habit to blog daily or at a minimum twice a week.  The content should be good enough that people will want read your blog and possibly react to the content.

Be present for your readers. Make it a habit to respond to your readers when they have a question. Connecting to your readers means that you won’t let them down. You should remember that you have many readers who will be disappointed if you decide to quit blog posting.

Your blog should have information readers are looking for. Everyday chores like dusting and doing the laundry really aren’t so interesting. If you have a way of presenting information on topics like this that will help them to become more efficient, then go ahead and blog about it. If your information is not interesting and engaging, you will quickly lose readers and create an unsuccessful blog. Pick a topic that you know will interest people.

Writing A Blog for success, relies on your ability to attract readers.

You Don’t Have To Be A “Know-it-all”

Keep this in mind at all times. A blog is seen as the ultimate expression of one’s individuality.  Avoid wasting time trying to be perfect; just try and get better.  Everyone makes mistakes, and if you make one, it’s not the end of the world. You are unique, and no one can duplicate you.

Images

Use different images in your posts.  A picture is attention grabbing and can also help convey your meaning without using words. For blog content, this is definitely the case. The right image can communicate much more than words can. You want to make sure that you include as many images as you can but don’t over do it.

Your images should be related to your subject.  After all, if you are blogging for leads such as “How To Get Free Leads”, Or “How To Grow Your Network Marketing Business”, it does not make sense to have an image of a “train”.  Get the ideal.

Incorporate Lists Into Your Blog.

For instance, when writing about cooking, include lists of ingredients or the kitchen tools needed to create a memorable dish. If you write about rebuilding the engine of your 1967 Volkswagen, include a list of parts needed. Using lists puts the information in a concise form, out front and center where it is easily viewed by your reader.

For network marketing, affiliate marketing and MLM business opportunity a list can separate you from others who are simply blogging without any goals.

  • An example of a list may be bullets:
  • Make a list of people you know
  • What are my prospect looking for?
  • Ask question about their job, hobbies, lifestyle etc.
  • Ask if they have ever been in network marketing or just looking
  • etc.

Develop your list just as you would if you were looking to join a business opportunity or work at home business.

It Won’t Happen Over Night

While trying to build a blog following, stay patient. It takes time for readers to find your blog. Also, there just won’t be that much content for readers to look at until your blog has been established for awhile. It is natural for a blog which has been around a long time to attract the most visitors, so hang in there!

KeywordIt’s important to select unique, non-competitive keywords for your site. If you pick keywords that many other sites have, your blog will be competing with everyone else. Aim for a unique niche to draw in the most readers.

For long blog posts, it is a good idea to split up the article by using relevant subheadings. This will ensure that your readers return often, as they know that the content they find will be easy to read. That is one simple step to take that can catapult your blog to a new level.

As previously stated, any person can write a blog that is interesting if they give new insights about a subject and mix up the content a little. Have some videos posted, quotes and pictures to really grab people’s attention. Make use of this article’s advice to give yourself the best shot at success.

While this is “Tips On How To Run A Blog” nothing will beat experience.  A blog is not hard it just take time, mistakes and adjustments to your blog.  Again, it won’t happen over night.  Get your blog up and running, blog daily and have good content.  Over time you will find that people will find you and you now have an opportunity to get leads, sell a product or offer information.
