Finally! This is the first session of The Blog Program - a brand new podcast with your's truly.
You can listen to it right here on the blog, or download it to your computer or MP3 player. I'm in the process of getting it set up in iTunes. Once that is up and in place, I'll be sure to let you guys know (of course).
For most blogs, the life cycle of a blog post is pretty short. Unless you do a pretty good job with post SEO and it brings you long-term search traffic, your post which you worked so hard on will simply fall into the archives of your blog - never to be seen again.
What a waste! Because, I don't know about you, but I have a lot of good stuff back in the archives of my blogs. And it is a real shame when they don't serve me longer.
Well, there ARE things you can do in order to lengthen the life cycle of a blog post.
There are certain actions that you should try to execute before you hit the publish button on any blog post. Some of these actions are for readability, others for SEO purposes, others just for organization.
Having a checklist is of paramount importance.
I see too many bloggers who just brain dump into Wordpress and hit "Publish". No strategy in mind - no nothing. Then, nobody comes. Not only that, if you had an opportunity to sit over the shoulders of most of your readers (if you have any), you'd find that most of them aren't even reading your post at all. No comments. No tweets.
[insert cricket noises here]
So, what I'm going to do in this post is give you a checklist. I'll go over it and give the reasons why each step is there.
A lot of bloggers are looking to make money blogging. This leads down a typical pathway...
It starts with banner ads. It is easy to implement and so it seems like low hanging fruit. Then, the reality sets in on that. You need a BOATLOAD of traffic to make decent money with ads.
