Blog Food Recipe

Ever consider that feeding your blog is just as important as feeding your pets?

My two dogs wouldn’t be vibrant, strong, and full of energy if I neglected to feed them.  And since they can’t feed themselves, they HAVE to depend on me.  It’s my responsibility and a necessary part of my daily routine.  Because I love them and I want them to thrive, I can’t forget to feed them.

Blogs need to be fed, too!

And even though you can’t feed your blog “actual” food, you can still provide it with the essential nutrients it needs to stay healthy.

By the way, don’t forget to feed yourself during the day or you won’t have enough energy to feed your blog!  My good friend and blogging buddy, Jane Lee, wrote a quick commentary on “Taking Time Out” for nourishment.  Jane knows that she can become very lethargic and unable to focus on her work if she forgets to eat.

Does that happen to you sometimes?

And your blog will get really sluggish, too, if you don’t feed it.

Use the following ingredients to cook up the very best Blog Food:

  • Creative and compelling titles
  • Fun and interesting graphics
  • Lots of white space
  • Unique content that educates, engages, enriches, and entertains
  • A call to action

Be sure to feed your blog at least twice a week!  To find out more about some delicious and nutritious blog food, check out this FREE Five-Part Video Course, “Get the Best out of Your Blog”.

To Blog or Not to Blog – That is the Question!

Guest post by Jane Lee

One might ask why bother blogging? I just do not have the time to blog. What is in it for me? Definitely, I hear all your concerns.

With business both now online, off-line, and corporations, everyone asks do you have a website/blog?

Your website is now your storefront. Prospects, clients/customers walk into your establishment and they want to see what you are all about. Your blog is that connection with your readers just like the customers walking into the store. They find out about your specials of the day, the types of service that you offer them and information that will help them make an informed decision of which product/services is right for them.

Here are the 3 key reasons why you should be blogging on a regular basis:

1) Keep your prospects, clients/customers up to date on what is happening. Think of yourself as a newspaper or magazine. You are providing consumer information that they may not be aware of and they are coming to you for resources.

2) By providing rich content and information, your prospects, clients/customers see you as the expert in your field and this builds credibility.

3) It takes time for visitors to find you.  If you are a brand like Coke-Cola, then everyone is familiar with your service. By blogging, reciprocating, and becoming visible in the community, others will start to notice and begin to follow you.

Happy Blogging and to your Great Success!
