Blogging, Social Networking and Search Marketing
Six Points to Get You Started Blogging
I have not visited my blog in three months and when I clicked on the link, I was overwhelmed when I saw the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge. I forgot that I had changed my theme that is how long it has been since I have visited my blog. Where have I been? I am not ignoring my web skills, in fact I have been so busy that I have ignored posting updates on this blog. Now I think it is time to begin sharing some of my experiences. I have become addicted to the blogosphere and social networking. Once again the web is making it possible for the world to get that much smaller. Find a subject you are passionate about, either personal, social or professional and start blogging about it. It is amazing the comments and people you will meet. If you are thinking about blogging start now and just jump in and do it, my advise:
- start with a good blogging platform, like WordPress
- pick a subject that you are passionate about, will enjoy writing about or want to learn more
- do keyword research so that your content will be found on the search engines
- get to know your blogoshere, that is the other bloggers that are also blogging about your subject
- social network, if you have never done it before jump in
- analyze what is working, install analytics on your blog and track it.
Happy Blogging!
