I recently asked our community about what to do to improve our blog www.mannamart.blogspot.com as we are now close
to one million page-views and I am overwhelmed by the response and I thank you
all for the feedback. One of the most recurring is the request that we should
open our blog for external adverts especially for our community on facebook, twitter
and the list on our website database. I reluctantly agree because of our
intention to please our customer. I always want to do things fairly so I have
decided that the available space may not go round with the overwhelming
response we have got so we are going to do a 3 day launch soon and if you are
part of our community and you want to participate, please send an email to admin@mannastores.com and we would
acknowledge your mail and register you for the event which would be online. I
always love giving back to the community so 10% of the available space would be
given free at random to those who register for the event. Please be on the
look-out for the next information on the event.
Now you too can own a blog and make money from it so we would teach you
basic stuffs you could do to make it a huge success. If you need our support in
getting started, then send us an email at the above address or contact the team

1. Define the target audience for your blog and cater to that audience.The best way to build
a dedicated audience for any blog is to carefully and clearly define its target
audience right from the start, and then create content that caters to that
audience.
Focusing on a niche audience and developing appropriate content
specifically for those people helps to ensure there will be strong interest in
your blog's content, plus it makes promoting the blog easier.
The more narrowly you define your target audience, the easier it will be
to identify those people, cater to their needs with your content, and reach
them with your advertising and marketing messages.
The target market or audience you identify for your online content can
be defined using one or multiple criteria, or various demographic
characteristics, such as:
·
Age
·
Club memberships
·
Education
·
Geographic area
·
Hobbies
·
Income level
·
Marital status
·
Occupation
·
Religion
·
Sex
·
Sexual orientation
·
Special interests
Reaching a target demographic on the web is relatively easy (much simpler
than doing it using traditional advertising practices in the real world).
Carefully designing your online marketing efforts to appeal to your target
audience will help set you apart from your competition and pique the interest
of Internet users who are inherently interested in what online content you're
offering.
2. Put a unique twist on your blog's topic and content. It's virtually
impossible to brainstorm a totally original topic to blog about. Instead, your
primary and ongoing goal should be to continuously develop innovative content
and put a truly unique spin on whatever topic you're blogging about.
You, as a blogger, are a unique individual with your own personality. To
set your blog apart, be sure to incorporate your knowledge, voice and personality
into your blog. This is one of the easiest ways to set it apart from your
competition.
You can also set your blog apart by including proprietary information,
publishing extremely timely facts or research, or by incorporating your own
unique thoughts, ideas, perspective or expertise into each of your blog
entries.
Be sure to research how other bloggers and website operators are
presenting similar information, and then develop innovative ways to do it
better or in a more unique, attention-getting, and memorable way. You'll want
to keep constant tabs on what your competition is doing, plus stay up-to-date
on trends happening within the blogosphere.
Another important strategy for creating and publishing a successful blog
is to develop content that isn't readily available elsewhere in the blogosphere
or on the web. The more unique and innovative your content and the better you
target your audience, the easier it will be to build a following.
3. Add new content on a regular basis. To build and maintain
a steady audience, regularly add new content to your blog. Every new blog entry
should cater to your blog's target audience, offer content that's perceived as
valuable, and build upon previously published content.
For a blog to be successful, you must stay on topic and cater to the
wants, needs and expectations of your target audience. This means developing a
thorough understanding of who your audience is, then adjusting your focus as
trends and demands change over time.
Once you set a schedule for posting new content, it's essential to
maintain that schedule, so plan accordingly and don't be over-ambitious. You're
better off promising new content once a week then posting twice or three times
per week on occasion, as opposed to promising new content daily (or several
times daily) and not being able to deliver.
4. Transform your blog into an interactive online community. Instead of focusing
exclusively on publishing content, develop your blog into an interactive online
community. Encourage your audience to post feedback and comments, interact with
each other, share their ideas, and enhance your content by adding their own
information.
Be sure to incorporate a "Share" button into each of your blog
entries. Make it very easy for readers to share your content via email, Facebook,
Google+, Twitter or LinkedIn. Virtually all the popular blogging platforms
offer a widget that makes it easy to integrate a "Share" button into
your blog. Doing this can help you build your audience through virtual
word-of-mouth.
5. Adopt a multifaceted approach to promoting your blog
continuously. It will take some time to build an
audience in the hundreds of thousands or millions. To achieve this level of
success will typically require ongoing marketing, promotions and even paid
advertising. Many of the world's most successful bloggers have relied on the
mainstream media to generate publicity for their blog to help build an
audience. Promoting your blog on an ongoing basis is as important as regularly
adding new content.
6. Keep the blog's look, overall design and content professional.Always convey a
professional image, regardless of the subject matter or your audience. The look
and overall design of your blog should be professional, and easy to read and
understand.
Also, be sure to edit and proofread your work carefully to avoid or
correct any errors. Spelling mistakes or grammatical errors in your blog take
away from your credibility and make your blog appear amateurish.
Whatever you want to do starting it is always important, instead of looking
for job this is a perfect opportunity to get yourself engaged in a productive
endeavour and you may be surprised that it could change your life if you are
apply yourself totally in making it a success.
