Home Based Busines Blogging for Income Opportunit 41B

Income Opportunity Home Based Business and Blogging

In part two on blogging, let’s take a deeper look at what might help you get started or to upgrade what you are already doing. Do you have a home based business that is looking for a reasonable income opportunity? If so, blogging very likely will be one of your outreach methods.

Start with a Plan OR if you have already started; think about reworking your blog for maximum effect.

Be clear on what you are going to write about and why. Keep your interest and subject narrowed down if you want a good readership. If you are all over the map as far as subject, Google spiders don’t like it and most people subscribe to a blog because of the subject or topic.
People love photos so if it is appropriate for your blog, grab your camera or Google Search for FREE photos and dress up your blog for effect. Make sure the photos are appropriate for the subject matter.
Google Search is a great way to look at all kinds of blogs to get a good idea of what you like. What type of blog, colors, fonts, and etc hold your eye and which do you just click on by. Keep a little note book for your references. It will help as you build your blog.
Once you have a subject you would be wise to do a key word search for just the right name. Again your job is to make those Google spiders happy. Have no more than 6 key word phases for your blogs. Not every blog will have all of them, but make sure most of them do. And YES, make sure your name is one of the key word phrases. Remember the part about wanting your name to be a household word and branding yourself. This is critical for any home based business.

Also suggest go to www.google.com and get a Gmail account. Then match your email name, to the blog name and then to key words for your blog. That is good when you take the time to put it all together that way. But if not, then just do the best you can and stay on one basic subject theme.

Now you are ready to choose a style for your blog. Suggest never use black or dark back grounds as they are often skipped over and not read. Remember the way the blog looks is first impression; it’s your virtual door.

Now is the time to start writing and the more you write the easier it will be. Use the search feature for research but then be sure to put into your own words. If quoting, suggest italics for the quote and then link back to the source. Quotes should be short not your substance. It is fine to editorialize and give your opinion for what someone else writes. Look at what other home based business similar to you are doing. Evaluate the quality.

Do your best to write on a regular basis, every day post if possible. Again, it keeps the Google Spiders coming back. Give links back to your home based business and to any other blogs you have. Get RSS feeds coming in and going out.

Your income opportunity is at your fingers. Study all you can about what makes good blogs go to the top. See you there.
