Take
These Three Things to Heart For Your Websites and Blogs
The great thing about having a Blog is that you are free to write
about anything you want!
On the other hand, it would be better to
produce content that is beneficial to your readers. Prior to building your Blog, I Stated to YOU to Just Do It and Then to Do It Again and Again
and then to do it Better and Better. Remember
these three tips when you wish to start doing It Better!
In
order to have a successful Blog, it must be entertaining and/or of some beneficial information that informs or solves for
the readers their Problems and/ or Questions. If you are thinking about creating
a Blog for your business, then it is important for you to take three things into consideration.
Who is Your Target Audience?
And How and What will You do
for Them or Answer the Questions that Their are Asking or Seem to be Seeking Out?
Before you decide to make your Blog “live” for the world to see, it is best to clearly define your target audience. There are many new
business owners who market to the wrong crowd. As a result, the majority of the leads that they do acquire are of low quality.
They did not take the time to define who will benefit the most from their product and/or service. They do not specify their
target market.
They have took the First Step and Just Did It! They threw up their Blogs and Websites and then stopped. And have not went
any further. When Just Doing It! You must keep doing It or It to will Stop! Stop dead in Its tracks. This is not to say
that you can not farm it out or make it run well with automation.
You won't
want to go down that same old road, of rebuilding or reconstructing It again because your time is too precious now while you
are continuing forward, building your business. You have started it to growing and now it maybe time to Delegate someone else
or a few others to become involved with your venture, your adventure.
If you have
not already done so, define your ideal prospects. You do not want to offer your product or service to just anyone. Its your
Business you need to Captain It, run it, keeping It Stocked and Sailing Along! You will need to pick a crew to help with
this growing task. Whether you do this personally or through a service is up to you. Its your business, to be offered
to whomsoever will respond to its Message or Purpose. It will be so much easier for you to create products and
services around your niche targeted markets then a general
marketing strategy or a general product line(s).
As an entrepreneur, you should regularly
do you R&D research and development always understand the wants, needs, and spending habits of your ideal prospects. The
more data that is gathered from your target market, the better you will understand what they desire from you. Your products
and services should be developed around the research that you should have already conducted on your target market.
As the New Old saying goes If
you Build It They will Come! No, No! That is no longer true If You Promote it
they will come, but will they return? Even though your blog content is aimed for business purposes, it is generally
personal to you. It is crucial to make sure your blog content is relevant to your readers. Your blog must include content
that is geared towards the interests of your target audience.
Most writers of Blogs would love to be
"Seen and Heard" and would love to be known by their fifteen minutes of fame, in some ways even if it is just for
a minute. After all, most people who write Blogs are not confined to their own personal Beliefs or Views. It
has become very important to create content that everyone in your target audience will understand. Not necessarily those things
that people can relate to, but understand; the content that you are dishing out. Can They digest it? Will they understand
what it is that you are stating or describing to them?
Visually appealing images draw in readers
and you want readers to explore the content of your Blog. And not the “Lookie Lous”. To make your blogging
worth the browsing effort of your readers, it would be extremely useful to include Videos and images sparingly. Two video
three picture at the most per Blog post. Have a professional photo of your establishment or yourself is a great ideal for
your About Me and/or About Us page.
Any images you do use make sure they
do not pose any danger or insult to anyone who will be reading your Blog. That is the last thing you will need to deal with
on your blogging venture.
Labeling the Alt Text and Tagging
the Sites Assets
Many Websites and Blogs and their Assets such as an image or Youtube
on the internet are not alt text, labeled, or tag. Which confuses the Search Engines Sites to no end. It will be
a bonus for you and them if when clicked on. That your assets are labeled, tag, and alt text correctly. And seeing that
you have took the time to label your images correctly, could be a benefit to you sites. As these assets alone can possibly
lead readers back to your Blog or Websites.
It is wise to label the alt text on the
images in your blog, because your images will get indexed for any image searches with the major search engines. When
you properly tag your images it actually leads to the indexing all posts associated with the word that was tagged on your
images. This gives your readers the ability to read other Blog posts that are related to the tagged images.
Now you know how images will increase the overall value of the
content you are producing on your Blog.
Avoid
Creating a Complicated Blog Remember to K.I. S.S. it Silly
You are the only person who can make your Blogs posts unique. The content of your
blog should be in your voice your personality they need to reflect you. Never be afraid to share who you are and what you
stand for in life.
Most
people who use the Internet usually do more scanning than scrutinizing each website they come across. If they do, then they
are not worthy of your time they are know to many as trolls people with nothing better to do then criticize others and their
efforts they come when you build it. This is a given. You will have plenty of people that love to know more about you
and your expertise. For the World Wide Web is forever taken on newcomers and they are newly seeking the already known.
In order to have an interesting Website and/or Blog, it is important that almost every
reader can understand what it is that you are stating a 6th-9th grade reading level style of writing could be about right
to write your content in. After all, your blog is not a debate or an Academic course.
It is not recommended for you to require your visitors to register for your Blog to comment. I personally like the
option to chose No one likes to feel forced into giving away their “Precious” or their E-mail addresses.
To require log-ins is an automatic lead into to a Purchuse of some kind which makes the Site and Or Blog appear to be A trap
or a boxed product. This makes interacting with your content complicated and time consuming. People are turned off by this
and will not want to interact with a Blog of this nature. Suggest bookmarking. Yes! Suggest signing up. Yes! But do not make
it Necessary! You will catch more bees with pretty flowers than flies when you spread shit.
Your readers would love to interact with you. Let them! This
will keep them coming back for more.
