Tips for Creating an Effective Blog |
|
 As I was sitting around thinking of a topic to discuss this week I felt a little nostalgic. I decided to try something different. I thought I would start over again from the beginning. Let’s help our readers understand a little bit about blogging and how they can start blogging themselves. I have decided to start out by going over what you should do and what you should not do when you are blogging. I could just dust off some old posts and try to add a new spin to them, but that wouldn’t quite work. Here are 12 things you should always try to remember when writing a post for your blog.
- Name your blog so it reflects what you will be talking about as it relates directly to your business.
- Keep your blog on focus with themes. Using themes will help keep you on topic.
- Find a provider that offers all the technical elements you need to create an effective blog.
- Keep the same look and feel as your other marketing products - both online and offline. This will help promote your BRAND!
- Keep the tone casual. Be authentic, natural, honest and informal, but retain a level of professionalism.
- Enhance your blog with other media such as photos, audios and videos.
- Say what you think about industry information; personalize your posts with your own views. Take a stand.
- Offer valuable information with news, trends, tips, insights or analysis.
- Try to be brief. Blog post are small, but frequent, snippets of information.
- Commit to consistency. You should plan on blogging at least two to three times a week, every week.
- Be a Connector. Provide links to sources of information on the topics you cover and inspire connectivity with reader comments and by posting on other blogs.
- Distribute your blog using RSS feeds for maximum exposure.
Next week, my post will go over the top 10 things you should try to avoid when blogging. Let me know if you have anything to add to this week’s list or an idea for next week.
Thanks again for your time and support!
