For those who have a
retail business which are on the web which he or she need to boost more
traffic, the blog is where you can start easily.
Lets
discuss how to write attractively and firstly, we are going to discuss
what we are going to write on. The very first option that I think a
blogger should write on is a topic that he or she feels passionate and
interested in. You've chosen to make blogging your career because you
want to escape a mundane job – forcing yourself to write about something
that you're not interested in is as torturous as your mundane job!
And
face the fact – your blog needs to be regularly updated to maintain its
readership! Hence, you must always find fresh topics to write about,
and we're going to discuss how to do just that in this article.
The
other reason I ask you to write about something you're passionate about
is because your feelings and emotion shows through your writings! If
you feel indifferent to a certain subject but still write about it just
for the sake of it, your readers will notice it. Remember the advice
about writing with a personality? Forcing yourself to write will not
establish a welcoming style at all.
Once
you have chosen your main theme, start posting to your blog about it
and make it a habit to post at least once every day, even if it's only a
comment on the newspaper article you read today. Think of yourself as a
gigantic train. It takes a lot of effort to get you moving. First, you
might just budge an inch, and later trudge slowly on until you finally
reach your full speed. Then, it'll take a lot of effort to stop you
instead!
However,
no matter how well you know your topic, your brain is bound to get
exhausted over some time, so here are methods to brainstorm for content
for your blog.
The
very best way to brainstorm is to see what other bloggers have to say
about stuff happening in your field of discussion. And the very best way
to find related blogs is to use http://blogsearch.google.com/ or
www.technorati.com. There are other decent search tools too, you just
have to look around. From other blogs, you can gather more knowledge on
your subject and you can also comment on what others have to say on your
own blog!
Once
you've established contacts with other bloggers in your field, you'll
have quite an unexhaustible "conversation" ongoing, so you'll not need
to actively search for content to write about. However, if you're still
stuck, search for news articles related to your niche in the local
newspaper or online through sites like http://news.google.com and
http://news.yahoo.com.
You
can also have conversations with people with the same interest as you
in the particular niche you choose, so you will eventually build up a
bank of questions and answers and interesting discussions to write about
in your blog. To do this, join forums related to your niche, but don't
join every forum there is out there. Stick with one or two with the
biggest number of members or the one which is most focused on your
niche. This will also come in handy much later in gaining traffic and
generating profits.
Remember
to keep up your momentum of posting at least once per day (or more if
you have a lot of content to write about) so that the major search
engines will know that your blog has fresh content everyday. This will
attract the search engines to spider your page on a more frequent basis,
hence gaining you extra traffic.
Don't
worry about the paragraph above about generating traffic and search
engines, because we're going to talk about that in more detail later.
For now, remember to keep a consistent effort everyday and build up
momentum like that of a locomotive!
