Hello readers … here i am again with some interesting facts and relation between entrepreneur and blogging. When you’re running a startup, it’s daunting to think of taking more than fifteen minutes a month to write a blog. Because Companies that blog get 97% more links to their website so how do you make sure you’re sharing quality blog content. Here are my views for that :

1.  Set a schedule.

It can be a saturday evening or a sunday morning , plan a blog post and then, no matter what it takes, get a post out on those days. A schedule keeps you on track and gives your customers something to look forward to each week, weekends will give you plenty time to think.

2. Create a content calendar.

Using Excel, Word, or online software, create an easy-to-use calendar filled with blog categories, topics, and keywords. Keep your industry centre of attraction. Like, if you work in social media, blog categories could include: social platforms, news, content creation, graphic design, and advertising. Your blog should be simple to come up and on a rotational basis.

3. Keep it short.

We all know the fact, “Long isn’t always better”. Posts at 500 words or less can still provide great opportunities for SEO and can be quicker and easier to write.

4. Use guest bloggers.

Its an era of team work,no one said you had to write every post. In fact, some of the most successful blog posts are from guest contributors. You got a friend?Ask her to write a contribution for you. Ask your satisfied costumers to share their experiences on your blog. You can even get your employees to write weekly posts.

5. Create a blog series.

Blog series focus on a single topic over the span of multiple posts. Series are great for those topics that would take a 4,000-word blog to cover appropriately. Don’t write it all at once, split it up.

6. Let images speak for you.

A picture says a thousand words and improves your blog’s look. Never underestimate the power of a well-chosen image to help inform your writing. Great images can help make up for lacking content.

7. Don’t forget SEO.

Make sure every blog post you write uses keywords in the title, within the meta description, and within the body of your blog. Don’t waste your time on posts that won’t drive traffic and optimize your search engine placement. Keep your objective in mind.

8. Read other blogs.

Learn and learn .. never stop. Blogs are a great source of inspiration when you’re struggling with new ideas. See what your competitors and industry experts are talking about, and then figure out how your blog can contribute to the conversation.

9.  Spell and grammar check.

Nothing will kill your credibility faster than inappropriate spelling and grammar. Your blog is meant to illustrate your expertise, don’t let their, there, they’re take that away.

10. Have fun.

Croud gets attraction on interesting things .. be it food or your blog, fun is the most important aspect. You don’t always need to be serious. The blog is your company’s opportunity to reveal the heart behind the corporation. Be goofy. Go off topic. Try something new.

Blogging can be time consuming and challenging when you’re just starting out, but the more you write, the easier it will be.

Here are tips to Get You Started:
Take a Stand for Yourself
If you are dissatisfied with
your current

except for you. It doesn’t
do any good to blame the
economy, your boss, your
spouse or your family.
Change can only occur
when you make a
conscious decision to
make it happen.
