Are you ready to manage a blog to success?
Starting a blog is more than just talking out your credit card, installing WordPress and publishing blog posts on a regular basis. It requires a lot of work especially in managing the blog and making it a huge success.
How to start a blog fast?
Starting a blog is always the first step and it is often the step which is overlooked by many beginners.
Most of them start with free blogging site such as Blogspot only to discover that their blogs are deleted without notice after 6 months of hardwork.
If you want to manage a blog like a professional, then here’s what you need to do.
The last step involves installing WordPress, a good WordPress theme like this one and essential plugins for SEO and email list building.
The process of starting a blog is very short and it doesn’t take long. With this guide, you can easily start a blog under 5 minutes.
Manage a blog: Traffic versus conversion
In blogging, I am a huge believer that conversion matters the most. You may have 10,000 visitors a day but if you are not converting them into sales, you are not getting any richer (anytime soon).
When it comes to managing a blog, focus on conversion because conversion is going to help you make money and fast.
When you manage a blog and aims for success, always focus on conversion as this will help you drive more sales and help you grow your blogging business.
What type of content should I be publishing?
I love to answer this (even though I had answered this probably thousands of times). There must be a healthy mix of self-promotional, knowledge/information and comparison posts.
Self-promotional blog posts can be considered as sales posts. These content are focused heavily in closing sales and selling the benefits of a single product. Here’s a sample of a self-promotional blog post: Thrive Themes Review
A knowledge and information blog post is slightly different where it is meant to share information and provide education. Affiliate links are located within the blog posts to encourage readers to click on and with the hope of getting some commission generated from the sales. Here’s a sample of a knowledge and information blog post: How To Start A Web Design Business With No Experience (And From Home)
Comparison posts involve comparing two or more products of the same nature. As buyers, we are often making comparison before making a purchase. Thus, publishing comparison posts allow you to have a better chance of converting website visitors into paying customers. Here’s a sample of a comparison blog post: Beaver Builder vs Divi vs Thrive Architect: Which is the best site builder for you?
Are you ready to manage a blog to success?
As a recap, managing a blog to success is simple and comes with these several steps.
Always remember that the success of a blog is measured through the revenue generated from it and not through the traffic alone.
