Business Blogging for 2010
What is blogging going to look like in 2010?
I see blogging in general becoming more accessible and more trimmed down in features. This year, I observed that blogs were getting way too “messy” with tons of affiliate ads, overloaded with pictures and videos. Mind you, I am aware that video and visuals need to be part of a successful blog….but I think a “cleaner and simpler design” will become more popular in 2010.
In my seminars, I teach the principle of having only what is needed on your blog.
Here is the 5 basic items that all successful blogs have:
- Nicely designed header
- Two column format
- Static video on front page of blog
- Opt in device on front page to capture leads
- Lots of valuable and relevant content in your post area
There are over 200 million blogs online, much of which are “garbage,” but that’s ok. What matters is what quality of blog you can put up and you can immediately set yourself apart from most bloggers out there.
Successful business blogging will depend on you being consistent at posting high quality content and “winning” readers so that they come back and visit often and tell their friends and assoicates to visit also. That should be your main goal for 2010.
You have such a powerful tool in your control. The freedom of expression and being able to tell your story and attract a following is the underlying premise of blogging. Some bloggers don’t get it. The one’s who do get it will have success beyond their wildest dreams!
