FREE is one of the hottest keywords on the cyberspace.
You can get some new followers from giveaways and
while they are effective, the visitors might not
necessarily be your target audience or your
community builders. If your small business blog is just
getting started, a giveaway will give you a traffic spike
or rise in followers, which can be welcome, but this is
not a long-term strategy for increasing traffic. Make
sure the giveaway aligns with your message!

You want a blog and website that is pleasing to visit,
so nix things like the music upon arrival and make it a
welcoming place. The more welcoming and
comfortable people feel on your website, the longer
they will stay. Don’t make the design distracting
because it will take away from your content, so limit
excessive images, ad placement, overly bold fonts and
color schemes. Too much of these and your bounce
rate will go up. Find inspiration from sites that YOU
enjoy going to and incorporate some of those
elements.

If you blog once a week, blog the same days of the
week. Your visitors like to know what to expect and
you’d be surprised at how important this schedule can
become to your followers. Also, if you post more
often, it will help raise your placement in search
results and your traffic will increase.

By implementing good SEO practices, we’re making
sure that our posts are poised to come up higher in
search results. Make sure to include keywords in your
posts and tags that are relevant to your
topics. Headlines should focus on SEO-friendliness for
the first half but you want your visitors to be lured in,
so make the second half of your headline more playful
or fun. Name your photos because people search for
images, as well. Search engines take a look at image
names for keywords, in addition to your posts or
website. Be sure that your content is of high quality.

This adds to the welcoming overall feel of your
website or blog. Don’t take photos at night with a
flash if you’re trying to showcase your products, take
the time to set up your products in the most ideal light
and setting. Also be sure your photos are hi-res so
that details can easily be seen.

Collaboration is a win-win for everyone because you
can share ideas and put your own twist on things,
rather than competing. Share links to blogs or
websites that you’ve collaborate with and you might
tap into a whole new audience that you didn’t know
you had.

“I am a blogger and I am powerful.” Say it proudly!
Your message can influence readers and visitors, and
sometimes not even in the way that you think it
would. Embrace this power that you have and reach
out to people you admire and see as influencers. By
creating a relationship with influential people who can
link back to your blog or content, you establish
credibility yourself.

Blogging and social media go hand in hand. When you
create new posts or make updates, share you message
across the appropriate channels to let people know
what you’ve been up to. Set a social media schedule
and stick to it so that you can be consistently active,
even if it’s not every single day of the week. Make
sure your message is timely (seasonality is important
here) so that you are keeping content fresh. Facebook
is a great place to try and build a community, Twitter
can give you business credibility. Google+ Um, it’s
Google. Why wouldn’t you do it?! Instagram can be
fun to share visuals.

It will drive traffic to your site and it’s what establishes
your online reputation, so ask yourself if YOU would want
to read this post. If not, you need to revisit the
content. Remember to use a catchy headline, avoid
information overload, but don’t skimp and find the sweet
spot for your followers. Write the way you talk because
you want to sound conversational and be authentic so
that each post becomes your own. If you Google your
topic, you might find 100 other people who have created
content on that very same idea, which can be
discouraging. By simple starting on a post and only
Googling when clarification is needed, you’ll be much
better off. Remember that you can’t please everyone, no
matter how much you might want to, so write to the
target audience that you want.
