Content, content, content

A very important question that was asked was about content.
In blogging content is KING. You can do everything to generate traffic but if you don’t have content that people want to read your blog will be worthless.
A few easy rules.
- You should have 150-250 words per post minimum
- With a few exceptions it should be targeted
- Take the time to run a spell check on it
No length is a big question. A blog post does not have to be a huge long epistle (although it can be.) You don’t need a book to get people to read. Actually, huge long posts can be a turnoff to people. Short summaries of ideas seem to work best.
Target your posts. If you are going to write about 3 different things create 3 posts. This will help each post to be targeted to one topic and make it much more search engine friendly.
You can talk about a variety of topics on a blog but i f you are going to do that create categories for the topics. That way if you are writing about anxiety problems, depression, self improvement and 3 other similar topics I as a reader can find the topic I want easily.
If I am interested in anxiety make it easy for me to find those articles. I may not care to read about depression or vice versa.
Doing a quick check on your spelling and grammar can make it much easier to read and the easier it is the more likely you are to get a response and show your expertise. Will you miss one or two occasionally? If you are like me you will but a quick proof read always helps.
