Blog Education - Save Time And Automate Your Marketing Work
Establishing your blog as an authority in your niche can be a daunting prospect. This is particularly so if you are just starting out. The more authority you have the more people like Google will admire you. Bear in mind that Google ranks the pages and posts in your blog and not really your complete blog.
This is good news. Because this indicates that every blog post or page you write should extend your blogs authority status. So make sure it does. How?
Listed below are a couple of tactics you can use right now and add to into your blog training.
The first is one of the simplest ways to start establishing your authority. It is to build incoming links through commenting. If you use a plugin called CommentLuv on your blog you will be able to leave comments on allied niche blogs that also have CommentLuv installed.
How do you find a blog with this plugin. Easy as pie. Go to Google search engine, and do a search utilizing your keyword and specific operators.
If I was searching for blogs in the 'Panic Attacks' niche I would find for
panic attacks & "title="CommentLuv Enabled""
or rather
"Enable CommentLuv" + panic attacks
You should be able to discover plenty of results for blogs in the panic attacks niche that have CommentLuv installed. In theory you would make at a minimum 10 comments per blog post or page you write. If you make this a habit you will soon start to create your links and, hence, your authority standing.
The second tactic that you could utilize in your blog training and that will also conserve you hours and hours of blog promotion effort is automating your social network notifications. Social networks create you an chance to broadcast your posts to the world. Submitting your notifications one by one is not actually feasible in the long term. Try this and I assure you that sooner rather than later you will give up.
Anyway, here are your step-by-step guidelines:
1. Get a free account at http://ping.fm
2. Add Social Networks utilizing Options provided (this is the time consuming bit)
3. Make account on those networks that you are not a affiliate of yet, and add them to the social network list for Posting
4. Install a new plugin PingPressFM using "Add New" option and activate it
5. Get API Key from ping.fm and append it to the Options of your plugin using Settings -> PingPressFM
6. Click on "Triggers" and place check for "Trigger Active" for each posting trigger you need to use.
7. Click "Update Options"
Bingo! That's all there is to it. Every time you post or create a page on your blog the plugin will give a notification to ping.fm utilizing the triggers you have enabled on your blog which, in turn, will make automated posts to each social network you have added to your list.
This automated system functions a treat and, once set up, will grow your reputation without thinking about it.
Every blogger should search ways to automate the critical functions of a blog without compromising on the caliber of the actual posts. Incorporating these simple tactics into your blog education will produce rewards in the long run and, best of all will allow you to focus on your content.
