Good blogging is hands down THE cheapest way to get raving fans and become the mega-uberstar guru of you industry.

I’ve recently been studying a bunch of blogging tips so I can use blogging as one of my key strategies. I’ve seen people zoom to the top sellers and all they did was blog well and frequently. In my search for the best ways to blog I found these super useful tips that you can use on your blog.

I see blogging as a great free way to build a following, give useful information for free that people will directly be able to use in their business. As they get to know you as the guru of your industry, they will develop a trust that is invaluable in your relationship.

Here’s what I learned:

ONE:

Search engines LOVE blogs because they are constantly being updated with fresh content. I’ve seeWwordpress websites and blog sites I’ve built be in Google in less than 48 hours! Miracle it may seem, but true it is! *She says in Yoda speak *

TWO:

Blogging is the most cost effective way to build your business and create raving fans – period.

THREE:

The more you blog the better you do – If you can’t find time, just blog 2-3 times a week. it will still help you. If you’re really serious about your business though, find the time to blog every day. Take 1 hour a week and write 7 short simple blog posts and set the date to show one a day.

FOUR:

Get a little “Blog Ideas” notebook - and carry it around in your bag. I promise once you get in the flow or blogging there seems to be ideas everywhere you look! I struggled the first week or two but now i just can’t stop – I’m addicted!!  Make sure you keep it by your bedside and even maybe one in your shower or bathroom – where all the best ideas come!

FIVE:

Be yourself – when you are blogging talk like your telling you best mate something. Be yourself, talk naturally. People will feel like they’re your friend and you’re talking to them personally – which you are really! They’ll love it more if you are yourself. I yawn at poncy too-businessy blogs… You want it to be a conversation so talk like you would normally.

SIX:

Good blog titles with strong keywords rule! Use your keyword/phrase in the title and in the first sentence. Then again in the content once or twice. Use it in your tags too.  This will juice you up in the search engines Go to Google Keyword tool to see what keywords people are searching. You’ll find it on my other blog post here. Use numbers in your post title too. They pull more of a crowd.

SEVEN:

Automate your blog – there are many ways to have your blog posts automatically sent out to the world. I went to put them here but there are so many that I have made it the next blog post – “3 ways to automatically tell the world about your new blog posts”. Before you read it go make sure you have an account set up at Twitter, Facebook and Ping.fm
