Update Yours - Part 2

Step 3 - Update Daily (nothing less)

Ok.  You should have blogging with keywords down pact.  Now we must critique your natural talent...WRITING!  We must make you into the author that you are! 

A persons' personal experiences are what makes up the character a person is.  People in general have different characters and different styles, but you can always find someone who thinks like you, who share your interest, who understand your thoughts, and who hear your voice!  Especially online!  You should capture your audience!  Capture your audience attention!  Share your thoughts, your opinions, your views, your ideas, your interest, your experiences, and your knowledge.  Be yourself.  Stay original.  Your blog is your stage to talk to your PEOPLE!  They are your trusted READERS!  They hear your voice!

Forget what is happening on the world wide web!  Focus on your corner of the web!  Your blog!

If you do not have an audience (not even 1 person)...don't worry!  Continue to blog everyday with your words as if you have a million listeners.  They will soon come.  Continue to mildly focus on keywords and grabbing the latest information about your niche, but most importantly - BE YOURSELF!

Being yourself is key to being successful at blogging.  You should be in tune with your audience and your audience interest.  Everyone does not need to have interest in your blog, but those who are interested in your niche should find your blog as an useful resource with original content.

Your blog content does not need to be lengthy, but each entry should have a fair amount of content.  If you have something to talk about...then talk!  Talk to your audience, they are reading your blog, because they want to hear what you have to say.

If you have been blogging everyday since the last time we talked, then you should have about 7-21 blog entries right now.  Let's break up our pages.  Under 'General Settings' of your Journal Home member area change the number of "Entries Per Page"...let's change it to "6" or "7".  Save your changes.  What does this do?  It spread your pages and keywords!  Having more pages makes it easier and less cluttered for your readers.  As well it helps search engines follow, index, and crawl your blog.  A blog can be considered a mini-websiste, each entry creates a web page...there is usually a permanent link associated with each entry.  This permanent link is another web page.  So if you have 200 blog entries, then you also have 200 web pages (with keywords, links, and relevant information on each page).  Spreading the pages will give you many more pages for the search engines and better keyword density.  Everybody is happy!  The readers, search engines, and YOU!

Don't get scared at the number "200"!  Two hundred blog entries is very possible.  If you continue to write 1-3 blog entries everyday for a few months then you will have well over 200 blog entries, in no time. 

Continue to update daily!  Do not stop this.  If you miss one day every so often (once every month) then that is acceptable (to some people).  But, do NOT miss days at a time!  Weeks at a time!  It is important that you build a knack for blogging and providing your readers with daily updates and information, surrounding your niche/focus!  You should have a steady schedule which includes tending to your blog.

Next week we will discuss Step 4 (Traffic).  We will first discuss link structuring, which is important to receiving and gaining traffic.  Ok.  Go ahead.  Update your blog on a daily basis and tend to your blog.
