ProBlogger Training Tips

October 27, 2011 By Johanna Baker-Dowdell 3 Comments

My brain was ready to explode with all the information I collected at the ProBlogger Training Day, so it was lucky I took notes! Here are some of the key blogging tips I picked up (when I wasn’t socialising).

 

Finding Readers

• Be personal, authentic, quirky and easily accessible

• Leave comments on other blogs

• Use other social media platforms, like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, to promote your blog and connect with readers

• Use original content

• Interview others in your niche

• Use great photos, preferably taken by you

Productivity

• Batch write

• Find content from reader questions, emails, comments and key words

• Look at Google Analytics to work out where to concentrate your efforts

 

Content Creation

• Have a strategy around content

• Do a content brainstorm and then survey readers to work out popular topics

• Take extra time to unpack the problem

 

Tim Ferris’ Tips (author of 4-Hour Work Week and 4-Hour Body)

• Do multi-platform content launches

• Find what’s best for you when blogging

• Concentrate on one good post a week

• Readers need to trust the messenger before they will trust the message

• If you’re trying to find great teachers, comment on their personal blogs, not their main blogs to get their attention

• Develop and define a very clear picture of what success looks like for you in three years, based on where you’re at now

 

What are your tips for writing compelling blog posts?

    Amanda, I fluctuate too but find connecting with other bloggers and finding new inspiration for posts always gets me going. I hope the tips do help you and Melbourne was wonderful 🙂
