How to improve your blog in 16 simple steps.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
I find this is always the hardest part You need to write down what you are going to blog about. Don't worry about spelling, grammar or anything just yet. That can be edited later. Get a rough draft going
Step2
Please, attempt to use Original content. Compelling content will come with time and practice Write what you feel and think
Step3
Don't rush yourself. If you find you can't write a good article in a day use 2 -3 days to do it. Quality is priority over Quantity.
Step4
Find a topic you love. What makes you excited? What is it that you excel at? Pick favourite passion. Write about that. Find a topic that is unique and you can really sink your teeth (or mid LOL) into it.
Step5
Always include in your Blog a Bio (about me) about yourself, your goals and intentions. You could also include the Purpose of your blog
Step6
Try to keep the Content relevant. For heaven’s sakes do NOT add a pile of Flash or videos We need to consider what others have PC’s and whether or not they have dial up or faster. The poor chaps with dial up won’t appreciate it at all. You lose viewers that way
Step7
This is the fun part. Give away something that is Free every so often. Makes no difference what it is Be creative. It can be a Free e-book, advice, or anything you can dream up
Step8
Try to keep navigation simple and consistent
Step9
Blend in photos, videos without over crowding. Keep in mind about the poor souls with dial up
Step10
Respond to comments left on your blog. Try leaving a relevant comments on other blogs. For heaven’s sake just don’t post nice blog. Let know you have actually read it and like what you read.
Step11
Ensure that you have RSS feeds set up so they can subscribe and or save it for checking later
Step12
Don’t be afraid to ask questions on your Blog. You may be pleasantly surprised with some responses
Step13
Make your blog appealing not only visually but easy to read.
Step14
Not sure where this step should but here it is. Keywords are vital.

Make sure to implement as many relevant keywords as possible to direct search engine traffic to your site
Step15
This goes hand in hand with the step above. When you post an article add tag words(key words) If they can’t find you they certainly won’t be reading what you wrote
Step16
This is also very important and should not be forgotten. Whenever you add, edit, alter, or change your blog Remember to Ping it There are numerous places where that can be done.
