The next step in setting up your blog site is to ensure that you have a social media account on all social networks; Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are the top recommended social networks to join. Make sure every profile has a brief bio about you and a link to your blog site. Try to keep your social media account profile name similar, if not exactly the same, as your blog name for branding purposes. If you are able to, use your banner or logo in every social media profile so that you keep that color brand across the board no matter where you are networking and promoting content. This branding technique will assist in building a name for yourself online and thus getting you more blog site visitors.

This tool will help show you how to word content, let’s say you want to write about making money online but wish to know how to properly word that so that the blog post ranks higher in search engines, the Google Keyword Planner Tool will guide you by showing columns with monthly searches and competition level. The two most important parts of using Google Keyword Planner Tool successfully is to choose keyword(s) that have low or medium competition rate with high thousands of searches a month. If a keyword that you chose only has hundreds of searches a month with a low competition level, you will have a difficult time ever gaining traffic to your blog site.
Learn Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is another term for increasing your exposure to search engine robots, in turn showing up in search engine results when people use a keyword search while looking for something in particular online. The basics to SEO are to use Google Keyword Planner to focus on keywords with frequent monthly searches and a low to medium competition rate. Once you have determined what keyword is best for your content, use that keyword five to eight times within the blog post and put emphasis (italic or bold font) on the keyword three times within that article. The five to eight time use of your keyword will show the search engine robots that your article should show up higher on the search results list as it fits closely into that niche. The emphasis on the three keywords will bear more weight and make the search engine robot see that keyword is valuable within your blog site content. Using this simple SEO method will help rank your blog site higher and in turn build your readership and monthly traffic stats.
Be Passionate About your Topics
When you are beginning to blog you will want to make sure that you are blogging about a topic you are knowledgeable in and feel passionate about. Readers want to feel as if you know what you are sharing with them and be able to hear that passion behind your written words. While you can earn some revenue by starting a website without passion, it is that passion of loving what you are doing that makes the difference in low revenue versus high monthly revenue. Read other articles about your topic, determine if you can add more value to the topic and write with passion. This is the biggest key to successful blog sites.
Make Social Sharing Easy
If you are active on any social network then you have seen how quickly something can go viral online and you want to make sure that your website has a chance to go viral like that too! Every blog should have an easy to use method that allows readers to click to share on social networks.
