Blogging - Posting To Your Blog Regularly For Maximum Exposure (Connie Ragen Green)
Jan 9, 2009
Blogging regularly will increase your visibility on the internet very quickly. By starting a blog on your niche topic and using your keywords in your domain name, blog title, and blog posts, people will be able to find you quickly and easily when they are using the search engines. Especially if you are just starting out online, you will build your business faster by posting to your blog as often as possible.
Have fun with your blog. Include helpful and useful information on your topic, but also give people an opportunity to comment on your posts and to be a part of an interactive conversation. This will make them more likely to visit again or to subscribe.
Planning your posts at least a week in advance will make your blog more organized. I like to write down what I will be posting about and then make some notes. That way, when I am ready to write my post, it will be completely researched and ready for my readers to take advantage of. Providing solid, well thought out information will help you to get noticed more easily.
Read and subscribe to other blogs in your niche. Leave comments on these blogs when it is appropriate and it will add something to the conversation. Making a connection with the authors of similar blogs will make you all stronger in the long run. See this process as coopetition, rather than competition.
On the internet, you will find that we all compliment each other's work. Refer your readers to other blogs on your topic and leave trackbacks to let the other blogger know what you are doing. You will both benefit from this practice.
The overwhelming majority of blogs are abandoned within the first three months. Be willing to stick with it and you will build the visibility and credibility that will catapult you to the top of your niche. Think of your blog as your home on the internet, and you will attract the right readers and prospects into your business.
You can also have guest bloggers, use other people's articles (make sure to give them complete credit and do not edit their writing), and review books or websites. This will make your blog more interesting, while also giving you a break from the daily posting.
Once you get into the routine of looking for things to write about, writing about these things in your blog posts, and connecting with your target audience, you will look forward to posting to your blog and build your visibility and credibility even faster.
