If you have decided to set up a blog there is a lot that you will need to think about. Firstly you need to make sure that the content you write is informative and appealing to your target audience. Secondly you need to consider how often you can create this content and post it on your blog. If you schedule these then it means you will not have to go on everyday to post the content and it will leave you free to do other things.
It is important to make sure that you post at least several times a week to keep people interested in reading! You may find that compiling a number of posts prior to launching your blog means that you should always have interesting content ready to keep your blog up to date.
The Content
The topics that you will write about for your blog posts depend entirely on the type of blog you have and what your main reason for setting it up is. If you are trying to obtain free advertising online for your business then include content on what you are doing as well as information to help others in a similar situation. If you provide content that is informative and people will find useful you are more likely to get subscribers and regular views. You may notice that some of your content gets more views or comments then others and this is a good indicator of what is proving popular. Try to write something that follows this up or that is on a similar topic and you should find it equally as popular!
When you first begin your blog you should include an introduction with information on yourself, what it is you do and anything else you feel is relevant. This gives people an idea of who you are and is great for establishing a relationship between you and your readers. Try to make sure that when your blog first goes live that it has a few post already on it as this gives people a good idea of what your blog will be like.
You should also consider writing what is known as pillar content, so called because you can use it to refer back to in new blog posts as a kind of main advice page. This helps readers to see that you understand the subject area and you have the capability to help others who could learn from you. For a blog on home business this could include information on how to get started, important tips and advice as well as how to manage marketing and budgets etc. Try to include content that others may find so interesting that they repost it onto other sites as this is a great way to get free advertising online and spread the word!
However be careful not to post too much too soon so that you run out of things to say. Try to post slowly and regularly and you should find that your blog soon becomes a great way of free advertising online!
