Blogging Success Tips
2 Great SEO Tips You Need to Know + 1 More
Between yesterday and this morning, I heard 2 great SEO tips that I can’t help but share, plus, I’m going to remind you of another.
One Great SEO Tip:
This morning, I received my daily ProBlogger email as usual and inside was a blog post called, “Optimize a Single Post On Your Blog for SEO“.
The first SEO point of 4 was to find out which of your posts are ranked in Google’s 1st page (2nd-10th position) and then go back and optimize those posts to become #1 on Google. That is a simple but obvious idea that I hadn’t thought of directly before.
New WordPress Plugin, Scribe, Takes Bloggers to New SEO Level
This morning I got my usual ProBlogger blog post email. Inside were details about a new WordPress plugin called “Scribe“, a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) evaluator and booster. After doing research and taking the Scribe plugin tour, I bought it and am testing it out as we speak.
Here’s how it works… Scribe has a killer special right now to get their highest package for only $27 per month (that’s the same price as their smallest package!). You download the plugin, then upload into your website. The beauty of this package is that you can use this plugin on Unlimited websites…Imagine the possibilities. Then, activate the plugin and start a blog post. You’ll notice a new section in your Add Post page called “Scribe Content Optimizer”. As I do certain SEO tasks, I see green checkmarks appear that I am on track to having a highly optimized blog post.
4 Things Every Blogger Needs to Know – Lessons Based on Julie Powell of Julie & Julia
Clients, family and friends all seemed to glow with this strange excitement after watching the Blockbuster hit Julie and Julia, book written by Julie Powell. Everyone suddenly wanted to start a blog. I thought the movie was about Meryl Streep playing Julia Child…? Well six months or so after the movie released, I finally broke down and saw it. Being a blogger, I was filled with inspiration to say the least. (See the bottom of this post for a trailer on the movie.)
5 Ways to Create a Blog Post Strategy to Gain Exposure and More Traffic
When I started this blog, I had many ideas and tools to get started with a bang. I had been studying Internet Marketing from the top experts in the industry – and a few became great friends. I have had excellent mentors that showed me how and why to do certain marketing aspects – avoiding the ones that didn’t matter.
But, I still had to try it on my own. You can have all the education in the world, but it’s the execution that really starts your training. So today I share some of the things I’ve done to keep me on mark with my goals to getting traffic, getting subscribers, and just plain enjoying the ride!
Step-by-Step Instructions for Recording Audio
Audio and Video have become very popular on the Internet in the past few years. If you are just getting started on the Internet you should read this post carefully and record Audio to put on your website or blog today!
One of the tricky things about the Internet is that you have to try much harder to create a “human presence”. In traditional brick-and-mortar businesses, people could walk into a store and *see* you, get a sense of if you are a good businessperson or not. Do you see how that is more difficult to achieve online? Then you could even kick it up a notch and add your picture AND an Audio clip.
Starting an Internet Business with Low Budget and Little Starting Knowledge
“I want to start an Internet business but know nothing about it and don’t have a lot of money to start it. Can you point me in the right direction to accomplish this? What are the most lucrative type Internet businesses?”
Dear Entrepreneur – You have quite the journey ahead, but it’s absolutely possible. I can tell you that getting your business online or even starting a blog would be a smart move…it’s just where things are headed.
Starting a blog is honestly your best bet on a low budget. You can start your own WordPress blog (wordpress.com) for free – it will just take time. You can create your own look and feel by choosing a theme.
Low-to-No Cost Methods for Driving Traffic
Not everyone can afford thousands of dollars to spend on hiring a web development and marketing team to help them keep up with the more than 200,000,000 blogs out there alone. I was just on a forum and saw this question:
Does anyone have any suggestions for low to no cost methods for marketing the service offered by one’s website?
I thought I’d share my reply for you to also benefit from…
My boss wrote a free report on “101 Realistic Ways to Bring Traffic to Your Web Site”. We give it to all of our clients once we publish their website and it is an AMAZING resource. Most of the methods are ways without spending at money, just time.
How to Add Spacing in Wordpress for HTML and Visual Editors
I have done a lot of researching about the WordPress spacing issues that can sometimes get in our way. Primarily when you switch from HTML view to Visual view, you’ve noticed that your spacing is removed. Then you’d have to go back into the HTML view to add in the <br/> tags, or you try to add spacing in Visual. Please see below for what I discovered and how to get around that issue:
Hyde On Health Care Hits a Home Run
Stephen Hyde is a very dedicated health care reform analyst who I had the pleasure of meeting several weeks ago in a meeting with his lovely wife Loren George. I would have to say one of my favorite parts of what I do is learning about so many different industries. I have built web sites for clients who are passionate about gardening, adult care communities, corporate training, spiritual wisdom, real estate, book authors, and so much more. But this was my first site for a health care expert who plans to “clear up some popular misconceptions about how our health care system really works (and why it doesn’t) and how we can fix it.”
