Making your Blogs work for you.

10 steps to making a great Blog even better:


Ok, this is your Blogging 1-A class in case you are holding back on writing your Blog.  I’ve done a lot of research for tips which will help draw readers to your Blog. This advice should get you started. 


Once you use these 10 easy tips, your Blog will come alive and come together very easily.  Using these tips will get your Blog noticed.  Don’t forget after you finish posting your blog, to ask people by twitter to see it.  Ask a question at Facebook so that friends will go to the blog link to find out more.  I’ve used examples in my test blog for you to read at livelifealoha blog.

1.  Make your daily Blog TITLE all about our subject matter-aim for our target     market of Hawaii weight loss healthy lifestyle.  Repeat it as necessary.  Notice my test Blog is healthy, nutritious, Hawaii, Lifestyle etc….Add your own author bi-line on the top.  Each Blogger gets credit for their Blog.  If we want our readers to add a Blog, we can get them to start Blogging for us (aka Huffingtonpost.com)

2. Add one photo or video of interest.  This was hard for me because I didn’t have a good photo that I owned and my photo is “less than.”  I’m going to work on getting a better one for my real post on April 9.

3. In the first paragraph use at least four words or names from the list of the top 10 Google trend words which are being Googled on the day you are posting your Blog.    I used the words Dr. Oz, Nate Berkus, Snooki, Red Sox and Phillies.  This will increase Google search drive for our Blog and if you use the word Google it will automatically flip you into top Google search returns.   For example you can quote a trendy celebrity or link to one of the subject trends if you can tie them to our subject. “How does Lindsey Lohan stay so thin?  It isn’t from running to the courthouse every day; she has a professional trainer….see article link etc…

4. Write about one healthy exercise, food/recipe advice from Hawaii or new Hawaii lifestyle trend or news from Hawaii about exercise, nutrition and health.  Try and work in the word Hawaii more than once since this is our market.   My test blog highlights pre-planning for weight loss success in Hawaii.

5. Keep it to one page-I need extra editing time and I know I need to work on this feature prior to my April 9^th post. 

6. Keep it positive, fun and light.

7. Supply at least two links to websites which will give reader extra tips to their weight loss efficiency and supply added information as needed.  Give reader an extra I blogged about Spark Teens and Hawaii Healthy eating out.

8. End with a call to action (CTA).   I promised to publish other people’s great ideas about pre-planning their meals and eating out ideas.

9. Try and Monetize your Blog.  I added a call to action that asked for people to buy our logo wear. Ad sense automatically pops up at the end of each of our Blogs (you don’t have to do anything to get it to come up).

10. Add a widget to make your Blog post unique from Amazon such as an animation, a calendar, a twitter feed.  I added a Google search word RSS newsfeed with the search word Hawaii Fitness and a new video bar at the bottom of the post.

****Special Kudos to Bob for putting our static header on, adding our Beach scene and our new awesome logo.  Looks great Bob.  Thank you for improving the BLOG site!!
