I get so many people asking me for tips on starting a blog and promoting a blog, I decided to do a two-part post on blogging with my insights and tips to get you going, or improve upon what you may already be doing!
Let's look at a couple of getting started tips in this infopreneuring blog post:
1. Don't publicize your blog as "big, ugly, long URL from your blog host.
Spend the $10 a year to get yourself a domain name from a reliable domain registrar, that points to your blog (has forwarding and masking) so it's more professional, easier to give out to people, and to say in a podcast, teleseminar or speech. You can see the domain registrar I trust with about 100 of my domains at http://www.InfoToolsForYou.com (and yes that's hiding a "big, ugly, long URL").
2. Write to show expertise and personality
Write so that it's geared to your audience, but even a corporate or professional blog should have personality to it. You always want to show expertise, and some insight into who you are. I like to use the term "infotainment" to describe my style throughout all of my content whether it's my infopreneur blog, infopreneur podcast, infopreneur teleseminars or infopreneur book--informative and entertaining.
3. Learn to write keyword-rich in your title, and throughout your post.
This makes your blog search-engine friendly. For example, in one of my other popular blogs, The Healthy Food Review™, one type of post I regularly do is..guess what? Yup, a healthy food review. And because I write about so many healthy food products by name, I rank very highly for these keywords, as well as my blog title. And it's all organic search--no pay-per-click required! Just remember you still have to appeal to your human audience.
