Creating a blog is one of easiest and most time efficient ways of getting traffic. Not only does it help with search engine optimization (SEO) by keeping your sight up to date, but by creating quality content you’re then portrayed as an authority figure in your industry. Here are 6 blogging tips to help keep your content in demand.

1. The key to a profitable blog is creating valuable content that actually helps the reader which doesn’t have to be hard. Over coming the “writers block” is actually very easy. A simple search on the net surrounding your topic of the day will pull up tons of info for you to get ideas. You can then take one point from any source and elaborate on it, creating your own unique blog post.

2. Make your posts short, sharp and to the point, typically 250-600 words. People have very little time in the modern day world and most will automatically scan down your post to see how long it is. So, if it’s to long they won’t even get past the title before they hit the back button on their browser.

3. If you find it difficult to keep posts short then it is a good idea to create a 2-3 part series. This is great for many reasons. Not only does it give you content for a number of days and help to deliver the full message, but it creates a degree of suspense that will have the same visitors returning for your next part.

4. Install a categories plugin and link similar posts together that you think the reader may be interested in, i.e. you may also like this post: (post title). This is a great way to keep them on your site for longer and will help them to get to know and like your writing style and personality.

5. Updating your site daily is also a must for a good SEO ranking. Aim for at least 3-5 quality posts per week and then just do a few others to fill in the gaps. And don’t be afraid to post some fun/obscure/personal ones from time to time. It let’s people know your human and not a content creating robot.

6. Put across some of your own personality in your posts so people get to know and like you. This will help to build your creditability and also make them more inclined to recommend you to others. More importantly, this will make them happier to purchase from you as you have gained their trust.
