If You Build It, They Won’t Come. What happened to the early days? You built a baseball stadium, a store, a web app, and people flocked to it. Now what? We are suspicious of marketing. We don’t trust strangers as willingly. Read More
In these three years of blogging, I’ve been trying to learn from my and others mistakes. I would share my tips I have developed through trial and error. So, before starting to blog take a look at these tips in order to avoid make the same mistake and lose your time.
1. Google isn’t a human - Often, I’ve noticed that posts written after hours of works and with 700-800words does not even positioned in the number one position, while post with just 30 words got the first position and driven more traffic to my blog and save a lot of my time.
2. Every thing has need of patience -Â Getting the first pages on Google search results, creating a strong Facebook fan page, increase the number of Twitter followers, have took me a lot longer than what I had thought. Instead, to checking the stats 30 times in one day, focus on increase your traffic, first.
3. You do the first move - That is one of common mistake a newbie blogger do. Don’t waiting that users come to your blog. Unfortunately, before users learn to know about your new blog and bookmarked it, you need to tell them about it.
4. What you do when you do not feel like posting - You will probably come up against a problem many bloggers face: writers’ block. If you don’t have additional posts ready for such times, having a co author can keep the blog going while you struggle to complete even a single post.
5. My experience - In the 3 years of my blogging journey, I have seen positive and extremely negative of blogging, including my blog getting hacked and Google making my pagerank zero. My recommandation is: Keep patience and don’t worry.
Which are the main things every blog needs in order to do not fail? In general, there are three main pillars to blogging, without them your blog most probably will not have successful. This three pillars are in order:
Content is  the most important part of a blog. Most important than the keyword optimization, building link-back, and other form of SEO optimization. The reason is simple, your content represents who you are as a blogger. If you think of your blog or site as the “motor” that help your blogging career to move, think of your content as the “fuel”.
The most important thing a blogger need to do is to post frequently, get guest posting, and do article marketing. Even blog commenting often need of a few paragraphs. Without quality content most probably your blog will fail. That it!
In order to create a successful blog you need to get a real URL. Sure you can start a your own free blog through platform like  blogger or WOrdpress, or other free platform, but if you don’t have a paid hosting your URL appear like this yoursite.wordpress.com and not yoursite.com. As you can see is the second is more professional than the first and you can get more trust by people.
If you want to keep your blog afloat, traffic is crucial. Without traffic you do no get those result you work for. Traffic help you monetize your blog, build your own community around your blog, improve your brand.
No matter what are your business, you need to get a steady stream of people showing up on your website every day. The more people that visit your website, the more opportunities you have to cash in on their visits.
In the competition between Premium Wordpress Themes, now there’s a new entry that are having an important role in the themes market, called “Headway“.
Launched in late July 2009, Headway is a premium Wordpress Theme that has already grabbed the attention of famous blogger like Jay Fleischman, Chris Cree, and John Haydon and can be compared to most known themes like DIYTheme’s Thesis and Woo Themes too.
According to the site:
Headway is perfect for both developers/designers and the average do-it-yourself-er. Easily rearrange a layout or change a setting in a jiffy. With Headway you can stop worrying about the monotonous tasks or the technical stuff, and just get down to creating great content for your blog. Headway makes designing your blog the easiest thing about blogging.
Currently, I’m using Thesis on my blog cabinrentalsideas.com and tried Headway, and I can attest that Headway’s is very similar like flexibility. Through the Layout Editor you are able to customize the layout of each page. Also, you can create new sidebars and duplicate them across pages. You can even customize the 404 page directly in Headway.
Headway is very easy to use. Similar to Thesis theme you can customize every CSS, but It has no custom.css and you no need to have php or css knowledge to do it.
Also, based the type of content, you can add, Widgetized Sidebar, Content or Text/HTML, RSS Feed, Featured Post rotator, and Image Rotator, and much more.
Headway includes:
1. Choose fonts for everything.
2. In-house Twitter synchronization and social network options
3. Built-in color pickers for everything.
4. Content Rotators built-in with a variety of options like slide and cross-fade.
5. Drag and drop fill-in-the-box content editing for home page and all pages.
6. Unique “Leafs” system that lets you add text, media and widget boxes on the fly
7. Use WordPress widgets to create a “super footer” that’s loaded with great content.
8. More built-in SEO options than any WordPress theme on the planet with customization on no-index, no-follow, do-follow, meta, tags, posts and pages (everything, then!)
9. Re-use any part of your blog anywhere else.
10. No two pages the same
There’s a forum where you can find any kind of help and share your experience. Of course, Thesis forum have a more active community being a old site.
