Ok, I've Got A Blog ... Now What?

I've set up a blog (www.wealthbeforedawn.com/blog) and started writing articles on it ...

What's my next move?

(Sorry it's such a lazy question ... I'm focusing on studying increasing conversion rates for the next 7 days, so I'm just hoping for some initial guidance here).

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Your blog doesn't load for me, it just delivers a white page which may indicate an error somewhere.

Other than that - what's your next move? Add more content. (I know, not a very detailed answer - but it's really what you're supposed to do next.)

I can't really offer too much guidance without knowing what you've already done or what you hope to accomplish with the blog.

You need to get in a rhythm of posting to your blog. What works really well for me is to draw on other things I've written. Read my post "Business Blogging: What Do I Say? at http://www.allbusiness.com/blog/JustFor ... 00575.html for some ideas.

Hi Dave, to generate more traffic you can...

1. Submit your blog to many of the blog directories. Many will allow you to list and will automatically update your content as you post new entries, while others will require that you enter their update page (otherwise known as "pinging" them) into your blogging software so that each entry you make pings them to list your content.

2. Find blogs that target your market and request a cross link. BLog owners will typically do this if they sense your content and style is good.

3. Blogging is still just one marketing tool, you should still be driving traffic and building a list which you can then let know about new blog updates - building through joint ventures, pay-per-click, article writing and submission, etc...

Beyond all of that, you can explore recording short audio "podcasts" and submitting to major podcast directories in the future - this also generates a fair bit of traffic as I have been discovering lately.

Cheers...

Jeff

That's really good advice from Jeff. And don't forget to submit your blog to my Small Business Blog Directory at http://www.blogsforsmallbusiness.com It would be a perfect fit.
