3 BLOGGING TIPS THAT WILL HELP INCREASE YOUR EXPOSURE!
Kari Switala with Magnetic Marketing Solutions recently asked her clients and prospects what questions they had when it came to blogging. There were 3 main questions that most people had. She asked for my input on these 3 questions. Here’s what I had to say…
- Do you need a large following of subscribers on your blog in order for it to have positive affect on your business?
No, there are multiple ways to get your blog seen. Personally, I’d rather have one subscriber on my blog and thousands on my email list. People are not using feeds like they used to. Even Google realized this because they shut down the Google Reader.
So I would not worry about subscribers on the blog as much as subscribers to your email list. I make sure readers see my email opt-in form on my blog multiple times. I have it on the side bar, in the blog post and at the end of the blog post. They won’t miss it. Other ways get people to your blog is consistency, search engine optimization, social media, guest blogging and blog sharing sites like I discuss in number 3 (below).
- How often should you be blogging in order to increase your search engine rankings?
The frequency below found on About.com.
- For maximum growth: post multiple times per day to drive the most traffic (3-5 times or more is considered best for power bloggers).
- For steady growth: post at least once per day.
- For slower growth: publish at least every 3 days or 2-3 times per week.
- For very slow growth: posting less frequently than 2-3 days per week is most appropriate for bloggers who maintain blogs as a hobby with no strategic plans for growth
