You know you’re supposed to blog to help bring traffic to your website. However, it’s important to have a plan about what you’re going to blog about, which format your blog will be in, and your blogging goals. Without knowing the point of your blogging, you won’t be successful.
Your blog should be on your website – Don’t create a blog separate from your website. Your blog should be on the website you’re trying to promote. You want to bring traffic to your most important asset, so most of the content that you create should be right on your own website. That includes blog posts, articles, videos, and graphics.
Insert relevant graphics and images – To make your blog posts more interesting, it’s important to insert relevant graphics and images. By making use of white space and graphics, your content will be more interesting and readable to your audience. Images can help people understand text better by giving them a visual representation of your message.
Mix up the types of content – Your blog shouldn’t be all text. It’s best to mix up the forms of content. Try using infographics, podcasts, videos, and text in your blog posts. This will give your audience an interesting variety of content to read and view that will keep them coming back. Plus, not everyone likes the same type of content, so repurposing content into different forms is also helpful.
Understand who your audience is – If you don’t know who your audience is, it will be difficult to create content that is useful for them. When you can identify your target audience, you can create more interesting content that truly works to attract them to your website. You’ll also be able to create products and services they need because you understand them.
Create relevant content on a regular basis – Generally, the more blog posts you publish, the more traffic your site will receive. This means you need a lot of relevant content to be successful. But it’s easy to produce content when you see the results. And you determine your own definition of posting on a “regular basis.” Whether you choose to publish posts once a week or every day, just be sure you stay consistent.
Understand what the point of content is – Each blog post that you create needs a reason for being. You may be promoting your products or services, educating your audience on a subject important to them, or sharing someone else’s work regarding your topic. Whatever the reason, it’s important to understand the point. Do you want more people to register for your email list? Do you want to sell something? What is your point?
Promote your blog posts on social media – Finally, it’s important to promote each blog post you create. Promote it on your own social networks, and ask your followers to do the same. Make it easy for people to share, no matter how they found out about your blog. Put share buttons for a variety of social media networks on your blog. Ad share buttons on your email newsletter too. The easier you make it for people to share, the more likely they will.
