Your First Blog Post

There are two schools of thought on what your first blog post, or initial series of blog posts should contain. Some of the well-known professional bloggers, such as Yaro Starak and David Risley argues you should initially create 5-10 high quality blog posts which will
become your “pillar content” on your blog such as in Robs Diary.

You are laying the foundations for your blog with these posts and when you attract new visitors, you can hit them smack between the eyes with your strongest content. The aim is to “wow” them with some incredible stuff so they won’t be able to hand over their email address to you fast enough.

Then, as your blog increases in content, you will be able to refer new readers back to these pillar blog posts as your “best of” content.

However, what if you want to get involved in  a niche where you are not already an authority or may not even have much knowledge on the subject?

The “make money online” niche is a prime example of this.

In cases such as this, your first blog post should be to introduce yourself, inform your readers of your “story” and outline what you want to achieve from your blog and your online business in general.You will still be able to create “pillar content” but it will take a little more time. You can write a pillar blog post on a key area when you learn about it, to teach any readers who are a few steps behind you.

Keep Blogging!

How most blogs fail miserably is the blog owner runs out of steam and does not post regularly enough. Once you have your pillar content or at least a few introductory blog posts in place you simply must keep blogging.You need to decide straight away how often you are going to post to your blog and stick to it rigidly.

If you plan on posting three times a week, then make sure you do it week in and week out.

A lot of people start with great intentions and churn out a fresh blog post every day for the first couple of weeks before posting once a week, then once a month and then even less frequently.One way to conquer this and to churn out a week’s worth of high quality blog posts in a matter of a few hours is to invest in a countdown timer and switch off all your distractions, such as email, mobile phone, Skype, MSN etc.

What you are going to do is set your timer to countdown for one hour and work solidly with no distractions to complete a single blog post.

If you do this four times in one day, you will get more work done in one four hour work day than most people get done in a week. Amazing or what? So, in just half a day you can write three to four really good blog posts,save them as drafts and then post them throughout the week. This leaves you with the rest
of the week to work on driving traffic to your blog, building your list and even creating your own products!

By completing your week’s content early, it will help to avoid the inconsistency that blog readers loathe.

A dead blog is no use to anybody – not your readers who will become uninterested and find someone else to follow, not the search engines which love to crawl fresh content and not your business because it no longer pulls in fresh leads.

There is NEVER “Nothing” to Blog About

A common misconception among failed bloggers is they complain they have “nothing” to blog about.What rubbish! Do newspapers have a “day off” if there is a slow news day? Of course not. They find something to fill their pages with in between the adverts! Those bloggers who find they have “nothing” to write about are usually people who are neither passionate nor knowledgeable about their niche’s subject matter and are merely running a blog in that niche because they “think” it’s where they should be getting involved to make money.

Of course, this is not going to happen to you because earlier we discussed the importance of choosing the right niche, but if you are suffering from a bout of writer’s block, here are six ways you can come up numerous new blog post ideas today!

Draw inspiration from other blogs!

Whatever niche you are in, there will be numerous other blogs on the same subject. Take a look at what other people in your industry are writing about and create your own post around that topic. Don’t just blatantly copy them but put your own spin on things to add to the subject matter.The formula for a successful money finder home based business is dedication and smart searching. Get your eye on the goal and don’t stray until you finally reach the finish line.
