If you haven’t already done so, at some point you’ll want to consider authoring your own blog. I started blogging in early 2009, fell off the radar, and then came back strong in 2010.

One of the reasons that led me to stop blogging was all of the rules being shoved down my throat. Every time I turned around, I had someone telling me how to and how not to do it. Here’s one thing the rebel in me believes: some rules are meant to be followed and others are meant to be broken, buried, and disregarded.

When you decide to enter into the blogosphere, I want you to focus on the main thing – writing good stuff. That’s it. If you’re naturally a good writer, this won’t be much of a challenge for you. For those who struggle with it, this will be hardest hurdle for you to jump. more

Recently I ran a survey asking readers what types of topics they wanted more information on, and “how to get advertisers” was a popular theme. It seems like it would be easy enough – place some ads on your blog and watch the money roll in, right?

Unfortunately, securing advertisers is not as easy as 1-2-3. For potential companies to even consider advertising on your blog, you will need to have the right target audience and LOTS and LOTS of traffic!

So before you even try to get companies to advertise on your blog, you need to create focused, quality content that will attract readers, but you will also need to post regularly so that readers continue to visit your site. To start tracking the number of visitors that you are receiving, you will want to install some sort of site analytics on your blog. The most popular is Google Analytics but you can also get traffic stats from your web hosting company or you can use some free traffic metric sites like Alexa, Cubestat or Peekstats.

Once you have some decent numbers, you will want to clearly indicate that you accept advertising on your blog; you will also need to have a design that allows you to place ads. On your advertising page you will want to let potential advertisers know why they should advertise on your site; do you have more

It is unlikely that you started your blog with the hopes that nobody would read it. Maybe some people do, but that’s just because some people are weird. Starting a blog and putting your writings on the Internet by definition means you want people to find and read them. Why not give them a hand? There are certain things you can do to make your writing and your blog reach a larger audience by improving the ranking of the blog in the major search engines. Here are 5 plugins that, when implemented properly, will help you to improve your rankings.

All In One SEO Pack – The granddaddy of SEO plugins, this plugin allows you to get your blog seen by both people and search engines. Automatically creates meta-tags on the posts you make as well as allow you to establish meta-tags and even meta-titles that you would like added to the post. Updated often, it is valuable to the experienced and inexperienced blogger alike.

SEO Smart Links – This plugin will create interlinks on your blog for you. What that means is once you set up the features and details that you would like, it creates links from posts on your blog to other posts on your blog. Google loves to see link nets inside of a webpage and may well boost your ranking in their search engine as a result. Also, the internal links are counted as links. More links will always be better than less links. more

I’ve been talking to a lot of wonderful women I’ve met on Twitter about social networking, and there’s one thing we all tend to agree on. It’s not about the numbers; it’s about the relationships you build.

The best definition I have come across to define social networking is from the site What Is?:

“Social networking is the practice of expanding the number of one’s business and/or social contacts by making connections through individuals.”

Connections. Not more followers, or fans, or blog readers. But true, honest connections. Now, does this mean I have to talk to, reach out to, reply to, comment on, etc. with every one of my social connections? No. That would be impossible. Learn who your repeat commentators are and engage with them. Try to take some time to recognize when people reach out to you, except of course when it’s spam. :-) more
