So what to focus on when starting a blog or website?
Where you should start.
- Start with your “product”
- Look at your topic, have something to offer.
- 20 Page eBook?
- 20 Minute “How to” video?
- Something your audience can consume.
- Click here if you need help
What you need to include in your blog at the beginning
- 5-10 posts at launch (Don’t launch a 1 post blog)
- An About Page
- This page should list benefits, purpose of site
- Briefly discuss you and your story, but focus on reader’s needs
- A Contact Page
How much content you should have when you start
- 10 Posts
- 300+ words each
- Videos would be fine as well
- At least 1 digital product for sale or offered for an email address
How often you should be writing or adding to your blog
- After launch, once a week
- When you can, don’t stress yourself out if you are working full time
- More content = faster growth, more stress
- Less content = less stress, slower growth
- Choose what fits your life right now, and build on that
What you need to be focusing on in the beginning
- Something to sell / give away
- Focus on writing first (you have to be somewhere, before you can be everywhere)
- Building traffic (go get it, “build it they will come” is a myth)
- Collecting emails (We use Aweber, it’s awesome and easy to use)
- Getting a routine for working on your blog in stone (hour a day)
Keep it simple, manageable. Don’t try to make everything perfect. You can do this!
