4 Tips To Successfully Market Your Blog
If you want people to come to your blog and buy, it's not enough to just write content for your blog. Unfortunately, it takes a bit more effort than that. If you want to successfully market your blog you must understand that it's as much about marketing as it is about having great content.
1. You should become an “expert” since this is one of the most important aspects of marketing your blog. "Expert" blogs tend to get a lot more visitors, a lot more comments, and a lot more sales! You definitely want to focus on this expert status.
So, what do you need to do in order to be perceived as an expert? The most important thing is that you make yourself known in the community. If there is a forum in your niche (there probably is!) create an account and start answering questions. People won't know you at first, but it will soon become clear that you know your stuff and you're here to help people. After enough time has passed you can usually include a link to your blog in your signature file. This is great for getting traffic directly from the forum posts, but it will also count as backlinks!
2. You can also comment on other people's blogs. The more you comment with relevant information, the more people will be inclined to visit your blog. This is also a big part of networking. As you get to know that other big players in this niche you can get make guest blog posts to make yourself even more well known.
3. Yet another way to market your blog is to write articles. People will find you much easier if you have relevant and quality content pointing to your blog. As you already know, the more people that find you the better your chances of developing a good readership and making some money.
4. Finally, you can even pay for your traffic through Pay Per Click like Google Adwords. You will definitely want to study the art of Adwords before diving in, and you'll need to create a blog post that is a review of some sort, or is asking people to sign up for your list. When you're marketing through PPC you need to clearly spell out what kind of action you want the people who are clicking on your ad to take.
These four tips may seem confusing to someone who is new to blogging. It's important to understand that there are different marketing techniques you can use to form an overall marketing plan. Pick and choose what will work best for you, but you should know that it takes an army of techniques to become truly successful.
