The 5 Blogging Commandments For 2010
Published on January 29, 2010 |
1) Personality- Make sure your blog has some as you’ll want to engage your reads and make them relate to you or the character you create. By having a likable personality when writing it will be more interesting that a dull and boring blog. You can engage the reader through competitions, questions/asking for comments and by just writing about interesting stories, techniques and ideas.
2) Make It Sticky – Your blog should have people coming back to it and reading it again and again. Make sure you include RSS reader buttons so visitors can subscribe to the feed. Also opt-in newsletters that offer more than just updates are a good idea but the number one way to get people to come back is to offer excellent likable content.
3) Maximise Your Blogs Revenue – By making sure your blog earns every penny it can it will mean less work creating new blogs to increase your revenue. Try to be able turning your existing blogs revenue into much more.
4) Don’t Give Up – I get emails every week from people ready to quit because of various reasons includind: They can’t set their blog up, Google dropped their PageRank, Earnings are slumping and even because they’re earning too much and work is piling up. There will be hard times on your journey but you must not give up. I’ve come close to giving up many times but always remember that I shouldn’t because for every bad day I’ll have 20 good days where I’ll be amazed at how much money is been made and how much fun it all is. Stick to it and you’ll have success.
5) Don’t let your blog die. Flip it instead – I’ve seen huge differences in blogs that are kept updated and offers that don’t get new posts. You don’t have to post every day or even every week but make sure you don’t just set them up and forget about them because they will die off and lose traffic… If you are having problems managing all you blogs. Keep your best ones and sell the others. You should always be looking to sell some of your blogs for the right amount as this will increase your income and wealth.
