Blogging With The End In Mind Part 2

 

Blogger: Plan Thy Content!

Writing a blog is important because you are developing a following. The minute you stop informing them or entertaining them, you lose them!

Choosing your content is vital, because you can find out what your readers are looking for and give it to them!

One way is from their comments. You want to encourage people to leave comments on your blog.

We interrupt this blog post to ask that you stop being anonymous readers! Leave a video, audio or text comment below by clicking the comments link. We now return to our blog post!

I guest-write posts for http://successfool.com and I often use comments as the topic for my next post, because it is what the people ask for! This makes the commenters more likely to comment again!

Controversy Gets Comments

As I mentioned on Monday, you can stir up a little controversy and get a lot of traffic to your blog, and comments. Sometimes you can plan it out, and other times it is hit or miss. Persuasion coach Dave Lakhani states that you must be controversial to be persuasive. Basically, if you polarize your audience, you will have half the people loving you and half the people hating you!

Both are desirable results, because the comments of the haters will fuel the lovers to buy more stuff from you! The goal there is to find a topic in your market that gets a lot of traction both in “for” and “against” comments. Forums are the perfect place to find such topics, because those places have a lot of opinionated people congregating there, and they are not afraid to tell you how they feel! If you can write a post that gets them talking in the forum, you know they will also leave you comments!

Press Releases – Fuel Your Audience!

When you have your content lined up based on the holidays, special events or what is going on in the news, you can easily add traffic to that with a well placed press release. For $500 I have some people that will write it for you based on a questionnaire you fill out, and then we submit it to paid and free press release sites. If you are interested in this, contact me via my help desk.

Your press release should be written in the third party, as though you are a reporter. Talk about the reason you are telling the world about this topic. Tie it in to whatever is going on, so that a news service would be crazy to miss this story!

If you are going to write your press release yourself, make sure you have someone read it to you. Listen for anything that makes you cringe, anything that assaults your sensibility. Sometimes when we read our own writing, we gloss over stuff that we can immediately pick up when we hear someone else say them.

Completeness Counts

You couldn’t tell from this series… but planning content can be as much as spending one day writing 5 blog posts in your text processor, and then spending the next few days setting them up in your Wordpress complete with photos and videos to accompany them!
By doing your posts all in one sitting, your thoughts are more easily completed, and you sound more organized!

Tomorrow is the completion of the Tweeting For Business Series.

Join me as I help bring it home! While I have your attention. Michael Cheney is  in the process of teaching how he made millions over the last two years. You will learn everything before he even launches his product.  This is a novel approach. He put together the content for these videos in one sitting, but he had to tape them over a couple of months because he flew to various countries to film on location!

You benefit because you get to partake of the genius of Michael Cheney! Go there now:
