Blogging is one failsafe way to build an audience and bring your message to the masses. However, some online entrepreneurs don’t really know how to use blogging to best effect. When you set up a blog, you should be subtly promoting your goods and/or services – your approach should be carefully engineered in order to get a particular effect. In most cases, this means that an entrepreneur will position him or herself as an expert in a certain niche. To help you learn the secret of effective blogging, we’ve created a practical quick guide…

Why Position Yourself as an Expert?

You will need to set yourself apart from the competition whenever you perform Web marketing online. This includes blogging! The easiest way to show knowledge, passion and expertise is to position yourself as an expert. Since you already specialize in selling specific types of goods and/or services, it should be easy for you to become an Internet expert. It’s all about sharing information which relates to your niche with your blog’s visitors.

It’s all about building trust. If a visitor to your blog sees how much you know about what you sell or provide, he or she will have more faith in you and be more likely to buy your goods/services. So, your goal should be to inspire, educate and entertain your visitors. Your blog posts should always be focused on what you’re selling, in an oblique manner. For example, instead of showcasing a product or service outright, you should talk about the history or that product or service, or come at the topic from a unique angle. For example, if you’re selling hats, talk about the history of a certain design, such as a fedora, rather than just plugging the fedora that you sell at your website.

Give readers some background into what makes this hat style so unique and coveted. In this manner, you’ll enrich your audience and tempt them to buy fedoras of their own, without even a hint of hard sell. Of course, you may subtly promote as you educate, by adding a photograph of your own fedora to the blog and/or posting a link to your line of fedoras, at the end of your blog post.

People don’t want hard-sell from blogs. They prefer to learn things and then make up their own minds. By offering this kind of organic and informative content, you’ll take blogging to the next level.

Now that you understand how to position yourself as an Internet expert, let’s talk about more blogging tips which will assist you in expanding your audience…

Add SEO to Blog Posts

You need to attract visitors. This means letting search engines know that you’re out there. The quickest and most effective way to do this is via SEO (search engine optimization). When you add SEO elements to your blog posts, you’ll build better search engine rankings, which will make it easier for people to find you!

To begin, add relevant keywords to your blog posts. You may research these online or utilize Google Analytics in order to see which keywords people use to find you online. These keywords will typically be great choices. Don’t overstuff posts with keywords – one or two per five hundred word blog post should be more than enough.

Also, be sure to create Image Tags for every photograph that you post to your blog – these image labels may be created within WordPress and they help Google bots to classify image-centric content.

Lastly, create a Meta Tag for each blog post in WordPress. This is a very brief description of your content – throw in a keyword if you can!

Once you’ve created a new blog post and optimized it for SEO, you’ll be ready for the next step, which is promoting it online. By promoting each post via every social media account that you have, you’ll increase your chances of getting visitors…and building your online business.
