A Blog Is a Blog - Right?

 Actually, yes that is right. A blog is a blog. There are thousands of types of blogs.
You can have one about building a business, showcasing you photos, recipes, animals, etc. You can blog about whatever you want and STILL build a business too. Are you a Mom who likes to blog about her kid's school teams? Are you a Dad who likes to blog about his favorites sports? Are you someone who likes to blog about their adventures in life? Do it! All these blogs are great! What is your intention for your blog? Once you figure that out, you can focus on what to write and show as images - HINT - there is no wrong or right thing to put on your blog, as long as it means something to you AND you don't mind sharing it.
Don't give up on your blog if it's not working out the way you want it to. It does take time to build an audience. Before you start building an audience you need to have these things happen.
  1. An Intention
  2. A Strategy
  3. Daily writing - maybe even twice a day.
Intention - Why do you want a blog? What are you going to write about? What do you want the end result to be for your blog? Do you want to make money? Do you just want everyone to be able to see and share your "posts"? Do you want a gazillion people to see your blog? It's really up to you.

A Strategy - How are you going to accomplish your intention? Are you going to syndicate your blog? Are you going to post it to the social media sites? If you are, are all your social media sites set up to point back to you and represent you correctly? Are you going to buy traffic? Are you going to post to free ads sites? Whatever you are going to do, make sure its a strategy that is simple and will get you to your goals.

Daily writing - this seems obvious but it's not always. Some people are not in it for business building and don't need or want the large amounts of traffic. If they want to post once a week or once a month, that is fine. However, if you want traffic, and you want to see Google finding you and you want to get paid - write every day! It is so essential! I'm not perfect, I have missed days - but - I pay for it. I can see my traffic dip and that means my lead source is dipping and that does NOT help your business. Your blog is part of your business, treat it that way. So, besides what YOU want for your blog; A blog is a blog is a blog Unless - It's making you money like mine!
