3. “Anyone can be a part of the social
networking community. A blog,
whether personal or for business, is a
great way to become a part of an online
community. There are many ways to
host a relevant, informative blog, and
get a following for your writing. Here
are some tips for creating a wonderful
blog, and driving traffic in to visit it.”
5. Tip 1: Know your niche
• You should always blog about something you know well.
If you feel passionately about it, that's even better! Your
enthusiasm for your subject will translate well on the
page, and who better to inform others about a subject
than someone who loves it?

If you feel passionately about it, that's even better! Your
enthusiasm for your subject will translate well on the
page, and who better to inform others about a subject
than someone who loves it?
• If you want to try blogging about something you're new
to, why not take your readers through your learning
process with you? Start at the beginning, research your
subject, and expose your readers to it as you learn more
yourself. It's important to make a blog interactive, and it
can be very engaging to learn something along with
someone else.
8. Tip 2: Content,
content, Content!
Build a following on your blog with
frequent updates. Frequent updates
keep your readers interested in what
you have to say, and fresh content will
help search engines bring even more
people to your blog. To keep your subject
from growing stale, make sure each blog
article is unique, and you might even try
inviting in some guest bloggers to give
your niche a fresh perspective.

• Who doesn't want to make money doing something
that they love? It's entirely possible for a blog to help
you earn a little extra cash. You can do this by joining
affiliate programs, or by hosting ads on your site.
• Affiliate programs are programs set up by companies
who need a little extra help advertising. By posting
their banners on your site, you can get a small
commission on every sale you bring to them. Good
articles that help sell the product or service will help
you drive people to your sponsors.
12. Tip 3: Making Money
Hosting ads from search engines are
another great way to pick up some
additional income blogging. You
might look into programs like Google
Ad Sense.
13. Tip 4: Offer Something Unique
• Even in a specialized niche, there may be many
people blogging about the same thing you are. That's
great - there should be varied views on every subject-
but you will have to work hard to stand out. Make
sure you bring something new to the discussion, with
innovative ways of sharing information. Write
stories, personal anecdotes, or create guides to assist
readers new to the subject.
14. Tip 5: Don’t be
Afraid to be
Personal
A blog is not only a forum for
public discussion, but it's also a
place where the people can discuss
their personal feelings and
thoughts. No matter what subject
you blog about, don't be afraid to
make the issue a human one.
Because bloggers are part of the
social network of the internet, it's
important to take advantage of the
social network of blogging.
16. Tip 6: Give and get links
• The great thing about blogs is that it's easy to share
interesting images, posts, and descriptions. Make
sharing easy by posting 'share this' buttons. These
social networking tools are available on sites like
Digg.com and Delicious. Don't be stingy in linking out
to other great blogs, and you'll soon find that people
are linking to you as well - especially if you have
useful content.

people find you faster in search engines, as sites like
Google take inbound links into account when
determining where your site will land in searches.
19. Tip 7: Use the
tools available
to help you!
Most blog programs have built in statistic
tracking, so you can check the progress of
your blog, and see how many readers you
have. Most blogs also have an option that will
let you add links, images, and highlighted
text as easily as if you were editing a text
document in Word.

just another tool to help you reach
your goals with your blog. SEO is

important, and it's also easy to begin
using good SEO practices on your blog.
The best way to start using SEO on
your blog is to choose good keywords
that will help people find your blog
when they search for your niche
subject.
23. Tip 8: Optimize
• Good keywords may not even be one word, but a
whole phrase. For instance, if you are writing a
blog about your travels in Europe, you might
choose keywords like quot;European trips,quot; quot;traveling
to Europe,quot; or quot;Visiting Europe.quot; It's important not
to choose keywords that are too basic, like travel,
trip, or visit, because anyone who searches for
these words might find you, and you are primarily
interested in attracting travelers to Europe.

• Once you choose your keywords, use the keyword
text as a link to point to other articles you've
written, or other pages on your blog or website.

28. Tip 10: Your
blog is not
the whole
world
Branch out, by making yourself a
part of the community. You can
do this by joining communities
that share your interests, or by
speaking directly to bloggers
with similar experiences and
ideas. Use your blog as a hub for
other sites, like Twitter, or
Facebook. Explore!
