Blogs on the internet come and go by the hundreds and thousands a day. If the focus of your home-based business is to create a profitable slice of real estate by blogging, here’s what we’ve noticed makes one stand out from the crowd.
1. Enter a new market early, on the way up into the public consciousness, and create lots of valuable content.
2. You’re not going to create a literary masterpiece every day, but bloggers who post regularly, for years, usually end up ahead of the game.
3. Don’t be afraid to be quirky, loud, obnoxious, controversial, sexy, intelligent, or just plain weird. That’s what draws attention, traffic, and money.
4. If you already have at least one major accomplishment in your field, play it up. Trumpet it from the heavens and use the leverage to vault past the rest of the field.
5. Writing style can make a difference. Everything else being equal, most people would rather read postings from a good writer.
6. Use cutting edge technology: videos, graphics, music, podcasts. Take advantage of every tool that’s out there to give your reader an experience they won’t forget (in a good way, of course.)
These suggestions are only that – suggestions. Ultimately, you’ll stamp the blog with your own skills and interests but keep some of this stuff in the back of your mind, and incorporate it when possible. No need to completely re-invent the wheel.
