The world of internet
marketing and affiliate marketing, a blog is more often used to generate
traffic and sales for products, either owned by the blog creator or products
created by others and sold as an affiliate marketer.
1. Be unique - choose a niche or market
you have an interest in, have a look around at other similar blogs and create
your own in your own style. Copying others can be a dangerous game as you need
to have your own identity, not duplicating others or posts, etc.
2. Give your best - do not short change your
readers or followers. They will see through you and lose interest. Always
provide your best material, and then some!
3. Remain focused - stay on the subject and
market you are promoting. Do not diversify or wander off track as your
followers will also lose interest. Provide relevant information, advice and
guidance which will benefit others.
4. Encourage participation - ask your readers or
followers to leave comments and get involved in your subject matter. Ask for
feedback and their opinion on your posts.
5. Network - request input from other
bloggers in a similar niche or a guest blog from a renowned blogger or internet
marketer. Their followers can then link into your blog. Use social media to get
your name out there.
6. Maximise SEO - research your keywords
using a reputable analytical tool to find out the best performing and common
keywords linked to your market and ensure such keywords are included in your
blog posts
7. Be consistent and keep going - it is often disheartening
and difficult to keep going at the beginning fo your blog creation but it takes
time to build content. Consistency is the key with regular posts and quality
content. Above all don't give up.
8. Collect contact details - always request the
readers or visitors email address at least, if possible their first name, to
use in future marketing campaigns and to make further offers. This is known as
building your list.
9. Research your niche - be an expert in your
field and know what you are talking about. Be open to questions and if you
don't know an answer, say that. Find out and report back.
10. Get to the point - if you are writing to
provide a guide give it. Don't beat about the bush and write about nothing.
Answer the question, list the tips, identify the benefits and address the
issues, and more.
Blog creation and writing posts
can be very rewarding, especially if you learn of others' success due to your
support or advice. Being inspirational and helping others gain success can
result in your own success
