Tips For Bloging

Posted by admin in Blog Post, John Galindo on October 30th, 2008

Today, I had this question from a reader about her daily struggle with ad on her blog:
“Jhonen I am a new blogger and I really believe in all days, but not to follow suit. I find that I take so much time to each item and protecting 7, one week 7-10 clock me (I am writing to you To the “how” bodies of type A). Although I Do not spend too much time in the blogs per week, I have a full-time job, family and society to follow. Do you have any questions? ”
It is a big question, and I know that many bloggers struggle with – especially in the first few days.
A posting rhythm is important to do this – but not that this happens. In this position (and the next future), I would like to see May in the search for the display of your connection.
1st There is no right to display
A false idea that the new Blogger is that it is such a thing as a standard for bloggers, if they do not get a job for all days.
The reality is that there is no timetable, that the show is good for all blogs. For a certain blogs per day is all right for others, the display 20 times per day is ideal, for others it is one or two per week. Ideally based on the number of blog, depends on many factors, including:
• Your question (as on the niche is still on the press, etc.)
• Her style (for example, the display of tutorials can display short ‘news’ posts)
• Time for bloggers (how much time you need for the blogs)
• Your audience (blog readers seem like a lot of points for each day, while others are a bit more meat)
• How to Blogger (a blog with multiple authors can use a larger number of posts)
There is no indication at the optimum for all blogs. The last time that I analysis on the drives Jhonen how many points they have one week, I found that on average, they are 8.9. However, as we see on the map below (with reference to the dissemination of the results of the survey) is the most common response has 5 points per week.

2nd Start slowly and work your way up
My advice to the new Blogger is slower than what you in relation to the hard work on the quality of jobs and then increase over time, the display of your frequencies you’re capable of.
This concept I had with my photography blog. My goal was quality Item 3 mails per week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays). Once I always aim for this a month or when I become a 4th Place in the calendar and then a month later, a 5.
A 5 mails per week (every day of the week), I stopped to raise my allocation of frequencies (I did not support) until a player came up to me and offered to send a summary of the forum on Sunday. I then decided to Saturday, a “reader-question” type day I simply a discussion (quite easy to write once) and suddenly I was at 7 points per week.
This process of creation of jobs for all days gave me more than a year to achieve. More recently, I have set that the writers on the 4 points per week and even writing are weaned off the coast of all. This allows me to concentrate on the growth of other areas of the site in the coming months.
The beauty of this gradual increase of the bodies was that I was able to work to stop and not over extend myself (or the quality of work suffer). The analogy I describe what happens when you train like an athlete for an event long-distance, you do not suddenly starts to run and whether the distance that you run. You need to work through this distance in time, if you and your body to get the distance. Too much too fast, you can burn.
This also means that no abrupt change in the display of the frequency of my readers have to be treated. I doubt that one of them would really change opinions.
3rd Keep your readership response to your publication on
As you increase the ad to pay particular attention to how your readers to answer.
What I found is that in general there is a “sweet spot” where a meeting of blogs is more content. These are sweet spot of blog blog.
Do what your readers to say about your ad on – but also to other signs and signals that we may ask you to the posting (or not enough).
For example, on what your traffic, the days on which you are no longer in days that you do not post (postmark or less).
Another thing is, the numbers of reviews. I think when I post to the number of votes at a reduced, while only item, if I once daily the number of comments go (conversely, if I do not for a few days numbers slowly comment on a post after a day or two signal That my readers are with the topic and you want more).
4th The consistency is important
That is probably more important than the “Make a week, then it is probably a kind of rhythm consistently posting that the reader can assume that the blog. The only time that a reader I never complain about how many bodies I said in my blog is if I suddenly changed things one way or another.
For example, he has been one week two years ago, when I am back with much to say and there were many last-minute segment of the blogs. After my assignment here the frequency Jhonen a quantum leap in comparison to two times per day 4-5 times per day. The readers back because I always producing 2 messages per day, and they were suddenly needed time to digest twice.
The same can occur if you suddenly the frequency of your posting – the reader expect a degree of post and he suddenly disappeared.
If you change your posting frequency into consideration the progressive and / or to explain what happens to your readers.
4 Additional recommendations tomorrow – you have the floor now
This is the first part of a series into two parts on the lookout for your rhythm posters as bloggers. As I started to write this post I noticed that it wanted much to cover in the second half of this item (with 4 other recommendations on the lookout for your blog rhythm) until tomorrow.
At the same time – I would be interested in your deliberations a couple of things.
• First – the number of posts per week do you? Is it your goal or you have the answer to your destination?
• Second – What advice would you in the bloggers on the posting of the frequency and rhythm find your blog?
I am eager to share your thoughts and of my own tomorrow.

Why you need newsletter at your Blog?

Posted by admin in Blog Post, John Galindo, SEO on October 26th, 2008

Almost every time I start an e-mail newsletter with my blog (as I did yesterday, as I dramatically the number of subscribers) I People ask me why I am the newsletter?
The questions about the newsletter as a means often:
• E-mail is not the old?
• Is not the new RSS is the right way?
• What about social networking – not as efficient as newsletter via e-mail?
• not very newsletter and a not very conversation?
• If this is not the construction of a “list” as a way to make online marketing a thing of the past?
• Is the blog is not to replace the newsletter?
Then I can see why people would like these kinds of questions – to nominate, if I only one way, the technology or had the biggest influence on the construction of my blog readers – newsletter is just up there, especially since the expulsion of the services AWeb.
Let me qualify by saying that it is a little vary blog blog feature of the issue and the kind of readers they attract.
8 reasons why I newsletter and the benefits they
Before we go – let me say that I am not talking about RSS in the e-mail newsletter pointed out that converting your RSS feeds in e-mails. I’m talking about building a list of participants will receive per week or per month (or any other time) to write newsletters. It could be people in your blog and the posts that you have written, but it has the goal of writing and often contains other exclusive subscribers to the newsletter.
1st Creation of newsletters loyalty
The majority of blog readers never again.
The sad truth is that despite all efforts, there is much traffic on most blogs. People come from a search engine, another blog or a site or a site for social media – they stay for a few moments, what they can consume and then go.
Less than find a way to “hook” to the people back to your blog most of your readers will not return. That is not, they do not want your site or bad – they have simply forgotten and / or do not have the means to remember blog.
A newsletter is a possibility these people on your blog a means to choose to be reminded to return to your blog. This also applies to the RSS feeds, but a newsletter reaches a large number of RSS (More on this below).
2nd Newsletter and the development of relations of trust
After two years of sending newsletters every week in my readership in DPS, I am now beginning to interesting interactions between participants. They are, like they told me via e-mail to a friend.
What I find is that the weekly newsletter (which I have a photo of myself and with others can share in the excerpts from my life, including the birth of children, trips I take the things that I just) are, I am very familiar with my players. They seem to believe, how they know me. “It is difficult to explain, but I suppose if you as many e-mails from someone that these people from me – they really” know-moi “(at least on some levels).
Not only the e-mail relationships and private life with your readers – they create a climate of confidence. My newsletter of the participants subsidiary offers much more than normal readers of my blog. They seem the recommendations that I do, and try the things that I propose.
RSS and blogs may be just the relations of confidence and well – but I suspect that adding newsletter e-mail address in the mixture added.
3rd Drive newsletter pages / Traffic
My biggest traffic days are the ones I newsletters. I-use of newsletters, the new messages on the blog and the most important discussions in the forum, which I chair. Very helpful, the current positions and discussions of more traffic links in the newsletter of the reader.
Interesting – if you need an ‘explosive’ burst traffic specially in a newsletter can be great to do this. Example:
• if you are introducing a new product or service and if you want to kick it off well – with a newsletter and a blog
• when you launch a new membership – are you doing on the same day by Newsletter
• if you are looking for a job to do, even on a social bookmarking site like Digg – a digg button on the item and a few minutes later, you send your newsletter pointing people at the post office.
This sudden gusts of traffic can really help a momentum of projects that you start.
4th Newsletters are familiar
Most of your readers do not know what an RSS feed, and unless you provide an option for e-mail subscriptions are not likely to “subscribe”. RSS is then that more and more awareness, some research shows that it is too slow, and also a highlight in their use. Personally, I think that he will continue to grow and people are used (even if they do not know that they are using the technology) but also e-mail (at least in the short term) to one of the most commonly used forms of communication on the planet.
It is a bit depends on your theme and the public. Some of your readers will be warned Technology (RSS and animal) and others, in this case May e-mail newsletter is not quite as effective – but I suspect that in most slots with a circular information becomes effective.
5th Newsletter establishment of a community and the commitment Reader
A word to come, like myself, with my circular of the participants is accession. “I use the word, but increasingly that the participants to see themselves as” members “or as having the accession”. I find it interesting that the participants no more than an e-mail (as participants), but as something or joined as a member of a community.
I suppose that the recording is something to show a degree of involvement and commitment in one location – so they invest something in your blog and to believe as participants.
-I, the words “basis of the community” about because I think that those who engaged in a newsletter are often among the faithful and members affected by the blog community. These are people inside word on your site and you say, they want to know what happens as quickly as possible. You have permission in touch with them – in consequence, they are a strong group of people know and are able to (and they can actually help you increase your blog, because they can be effective for you evangelical).
6th Newsletter, you can target audiences and readers
AWeb as a tool to run your newsletter, you have access to all kinds of interesting tools, statistics and possibilities. You can use the links in your mail will receive more clicks (which can be used as a form of research, what the reader to answer), but you can also segment of readers in different groups and individual messages.
Example:
• You can receive the newsletter only for specific new participants – for example, send an e-mail each month just for those who have signed, and stresses that the filling of key positions in the archive.
• You can use the links on membership in your e-mails and e-mails with special offers
• You can e-mail special edition just for subscribers who never open e-mails (subject to the examination of the lines with different strategies in the company)
Really the sky is the limit of what you can test and how you can target the reader.
7th Newsletter help Momentum
I-my newsletter, not only for the promotion of content and its subsidiary products, but a sense of momentum in my blog. Every few weeks in my blog I will photograph of a little more participants with an overview of the steps that we have achieved as a community mentioned that we had in the mass media, new features we add, etc. In this way I give those , Which is a feeling that they are a part of something exciting and more and more.
I think what I do, what the reader very well and my answer to the comments of the nature of its website to help to develop (through the promotion of their friends).
8th Newsletter the possibilities for monetization
Newsletter open another road for the benefit of those of your online business development.
I have already mentioned several times that the newsletter can only be effective when it comes to programs – but they can also be a good thing when it comes to advertising revenue.
Sale of advertising space in our newsletter can be very lucrative if your readership. I found that the advertisers have to pay a high CPM because they know a circular of the participants are usually very dedicated and loyal readers (and very concentrated to a market niche).

Increase Reader, Subscribers and “Engagement”

Posted by admin in John Galindo, SEO on October 25th, 2008

In the last week I decided to find blogs quality of the Australian subscribe. I have a new list put together marketing blogs Australian Julian Cole, which was introduced as the basis for my research.
I was thrilled by the quality of some blogs on this list – but he beat me, as I surf it on the list were three disappointments, which I had with a number of blogs on the list (certainly not all, but enough for me Notice).
None of these problems are issues that are currently in Australia or marketing bloggers against bloggers – I see daily on the Internet (although I do not ironic is that the list of “marketing blog, some of these problems).
1st Hidden options
I was on a mission to a large blogs – but a little disappointed that I’ve noticed is that many bloggers are not simply doing what for me simply because they “hide” their subscription methods to the page (and not even a pair to show for all). Most bJhonrs these days give those who use the ability to subscribe by clicking on the RSS icon in the address bar – but many Internet users do not know that they can do (or use an old bJhonrs).
If one of your goals as a blogger is to increase your readership and an excellent chance to record the first time the reader will need to include (regardless of whether you use an RSS feed, RSS e-mail service or an information circular. If you hide or incomprehensibility of these options are not suitable for conversion.
My own approach to get subscribers is that these options signed a place in a box and then under the posts in a single pages (usually less at once). This means that if a new drive will be above or below the sting, they are invited to sign.

2nd Not through contact Blogger
There are a number of blogs on the list, I was really impressed – so I wanted with the bloggers and the congratulations for their blogs. The only problem is that on a pair again, I found difficult to find a way to deal with the bloggers, the other a commentary to be.
I understand some bloggers have privacy wishes of the administrator or reduce their blogs keep itself difficult to contact, but you will not only enable the filter Loonies legitimate approaches, but also opportunities, the possibilities of partnerships, etc.
Please contact options do not necessarily need to enter your e-mail address – you have a contact details on Twitter, have the opportunity, instant messaging or the profiles of other social networks (the key, which you can).

3rd About Page No.
This is probably my personal preference and less important that the first two points – but if I have a blog that I get one of the first things that I like to do to me to decide on the opportunity, this is code for more research Information about the blog and writes.
A kind of “About Page ‘is an excellent opportunity to meet and attract curious readers (like me) and the deepening of relationship with them.
About Your page is a great opportunity to connect with new people to blog, sell and give you the reasons why people should read them.
Of course, you can do that, in others (an introduction to your Sidebar can), but a page that the exchange of information in this way can work really well.
