Effective Blog

I am a new blogger! How do I get the word out on my blog? I have no idea on how to get traffic and followers. I’d love help.

  1. Go to http://www.conversationmarketing.com and download Ian Lurie’s free eBook. It is at the lower left corner of the site.

    Plan to read Ian’s blog, and sign up for an RSS feed to the blogs on his blog roll that relate to, yes, blogging.

    Ian and his company created my site from an SEO perspective at http://www.LindaKeithCPA.com. His ideas about how to ‘do’ SEO and blogging are first-rate.

    Here is a tidbit that Ian posted but was courtesy of clearbloggin.com:
    1. Find your topic
    2. Set up your beat* (blogs you’ll read/comment on and things to read)
    3. Create your blog
    4. Make a schedule (I write about 4-6 blog posts at a time and schedule them to publish 2/week)
    5. Clear your bloggage (what did you read that made you agree/disagree/mad/happy?)
    6. Write. Every. Day.
    7. Join the Conversation (comment on related blogs of others)
    8. Grab Center Stage (Get a scoop. Entertain. Teach. Challenge.)
    9. Foot (NOT IN) Mouth (Be courteous, respectful, honest)
    10. Have FUN!!! (You are in it for the long haul.)

  2. Sweet blog. I never know what I am going to come across next. I think you should do more posting as you have some pretty intelligent stuff to say.

    I’ll be watching you . :)
