DO'S OF BLOGGING

Hopefully, after seeing the benefits and the numbers backing them up, you’re ready to jump on the blogging train. As you start to put together your business’s blog there are some important do’s you should know in order to get the greatest results. These eight suggestions will help you reach your blogging goals.

1.Use Strong Headlines: Your headline is the first thing a reader sees and helps them determine if your content is worth reading. There are numerous tools on the web that will help you generate strong, attention grabbing blog titles based on your topic. CoSchedule has a terrific headline analyzer that scores your titles on many different aspects.

2.Post Often: The more frequently you post, the greater the results you will see. Updating your blog at least once a week with new content is a great target, but posting more often is even better. Whatever you decide for your posting schedule, make sure to be consistent with it.

3.Use Keywords Strategically: Gone are the days of keyword stuffing, which can appear spammy. Stick to one or two specific keywords and use them strategically through your post. They should flow naturally in your writing and appear in your title, subheadings and first sentence.

4.Stick with It: Blogging, like all other inbound marketing techniques, takes time. Don’t give up if you’re not seeing the results you want immediately. Your patience will be rewarded in the end.

5.Use Graphics: Graphics are a great way to catch the reader’s attention and bring them down the page to keep reading. Make sure they are relevant to your post and add to what you’re saying. Images with faces in them receive an extra SEO boost, too.

6.Write in length: Typically, long-form blog posts of at least 1500 words do better in the search results than short-form posts. They provide more value and information for your audience and showcase your expertise. Short-form posts of 300-500 words also hold value and are a great addition providing a quick resource for readers; however, the meat of your blogging efforts should focus on the longer posts.

7.Proofread: Proofreading is a vital part of successful blogging, but is often overlooked. If editing isn’t your strength, set aside your post for a few hours and come back with fresh eyes; it’s easier to see mistakes and typos after giving yourself a break. Before you publish your post, ask someone on your team to give it a once over to make sure you didn’t miss anything obvious.

8.Share on Social Media: After you publish your blog posts, don’t forget to share them on all of your social media platforms! This cross channel communication is a great way to gain visibility, acquire new readers and reach potential new customers.

DON'TS OF BLOGGING

Now that you know what you should do, it’s important to also understand what you need to avoid. When planning your blogging strategy and outlining your posts, these five mistakes can have a negative impact on your efforts.

1.Inconsistent Posting: Publishing blogs on a regular basis is important to keeping readers engaged and returning back for more. Have a set day of the month or week designated for publishing new blog posts. This will keep you on track and your readers effectively engaged and knowing when they can expect your next post (plus it’s really good for SEO).

2.Irrelevant Topics: Readers stick with blogs they read on a regular basis because they can depend on the content to be reliably informative. While it’s important to have diverse content within your specific set of topics, straying too far might deter your audience.

3.Negative Posts: Content that is positive in nature is more likely to be shared by readers than negative content. Blogs are a great way to convey your thoughts and opinions, but be sure to keep it upbeat and positive to increase your chance of a post getting shared on different channels.

4.Poor Design: Blogs that are outdated or unorganized, could be losing readers simply because they find the site difficult to navigate. A clean and simple design is sometimes better than a complicated set up that can hinder the audience’s ability to find information.

5.It’s Unreadable: Your audience is just as mobile as you are, meaning they might attempt to read blogs while they’re on-the-go via a mobile device or smartphone. Ensure your blog is optimized for both desktop and mobile viewing to reach out to everyone in your target audience.

6.You Ramble On: Your blog should not be treated as a diary for posting your random thoughts on different matters. Make sure that what you write adds value for your audience, and is relevant to your brand. Keep your posts on topic and to the point rather than going off on tangents
