Simple Blog Promotion and Marketing Tips

So you want to know more about blogging? Well you have come to the right place.




Blogs:

Blogging really relies on one main focus, and that is relevant topics. You need to put out topics that people wan to relate to not matter what that may be. There are billions of internet users searching for unlimited topics. The trick is getting them to find what you are putting out there. Keywords are a very important part of this function. The keywords you choose will aid and direct the searches to your topic. 20 keywords is usually the limit for most sites in order to speed up searches. So it's not about having as many keywords as possible either. It's more about the keywords you choose to represent you. If you are a musician, keywords such as "music, mp3, rock, hip hop, pop, etc.", are crucial.  

Social Networking:

Social networks play another great role in blogging. As you can see below this page is set up to share on several social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. Depending on your following the results will vary. I personally favor Twitter as far as getting my blogs publicized on the web more. The reason is that there are programs called web crawlers that search for keywords or "hash tags" used on Twitter. This increases when your followers retweet as well. Facebook works well too, but as I said before it all depends on your content and following. Keep in mind that people will only be interested if its relevant to their lifestyles.

Consistency:

Being consistent in writing blogs is essential. The more you blog, the more chances you have of your blog being read or looked at. Some people choose to stay on one topic, and that is fine. I choose to write about anything interesting, from music, politics, to real life events. I like to have a broad wide-ranged audience. This also helps me keep track of what topics work better than others. Right now I have nearly 100 blog posts, and just over 25,000 views, with about 5,000 views in just the past month with some extra online promotion I started implementing using the techniques I described. I don't think blogging has to be so complicated. You can blog about almost anything, you can promote yourself, music, brands, headlines, videos, and more. If you have any question please feel free to comment and I will answer when I have time. Thank you for taking the time to read my tips, hope this helps as many people out there as possible.
