Blogging Tips: How to Make Your Niche Blog Stand Out & Get Noticed Part II
- ARTICLES |
In part one of this blog post we discussed the importance of finding your voice, choosing the right niche and adding your uniqueness to your blog. When you get down to it, what it really takes to make your blog stand out and get noticed is your focus and commitment. Too many people quit too soon. They feel like they've been working really hard and not getting good results. If that is happening, you might invest some time in keyword research. If this is not a strong skill of yours, hire someone to create a perfectly targeted keyword list for you. Keep networking with other bloggers in your niche and you'll start to see more visitors to your blog.
Here are the last two practical tips for making your blog stand out and get noticed:
4. Write and create content like your life depends on it
Content is what makes a blog, right? So, if you want a blog that's remarkable, that stands out among a ton of other blogs on the same topic, the best way to accomplish this is to create a ton of content. If you are just starting a new blog or if you are trying to revive an existing blog that seems to be lagging, you'll want to create an editorial calendar. You'll use this calendar to schedule blog posts in advance. Come up with a massive list of prospective blog post ideas. Pull from your keyword research and do some research about hot topics in your niche. Next come up with the various kinds of content that you will create such as video, audio, and written blog posts. With the exploding popularity of the social media platform, Pinterest, think about what kind of graphic images you can create and share on Pinterest to attract traffic to your blog.
5. Be seen everywhere
This one might seem like a no-brainer, however, it's always the simple things that are the most effective. If you want to get noticed in your niche you've got to get out from behind your laptop, meet actual people, and make real connections with other bloggers. I write a lot about guest blogging because it works. Article marketing still works. Visiting other blogs commenting on them using social media sending press releases and attending live events all serve to give you more exposure to the people you are trying to reach. Being seen everywhere takes time and energy but you'll never have a successful blog that everyone is talking about if you don't put yourself out there.
Another thing to consider is your mindset about blogging. Are you looking to your blog to provide an income that you can live on, or do you consider your blog to be a vehicle to attract additional opportunities? You might broaden your thinking and find additional ways that you can leverage the traffic and exposure that your blog is generating. You might want to convert the blog's content into a book, or even use it to start a public speaking career. The way you do one thing is how you do everything, so always present your best work because you never know who is paying attention to your blog.
Standing out and getting noticed is about you being dedicated to creating a unique blog that communicates your voice and your unique personality. That's what will attract visitors and success.
