I want to build a blog

by NeedBucksNow
31 replies
I was thinking of building a new blog in order to promote my affiliate site & sig. I want to start getting free traffic from Google a.s.a.p. Any ideas about how to make it professional looking blog without spending a small fortune? I also want to get professional writers to make it as unique as possible. How many posts would I need to get the ball rolling on this?

    I'd suggest getting premium themes from Theme Forest and plugins from Code Canyon (part of TF). You could then shop around Fiverr for logo and element designs and writers. You'll have to search deep for decent writers on Fiverr, but a few exist. Alternatively, if you have $500+, you can hunt around for web design offers on places like WF.

    Just get a nice looking theme from somewhere. I prefer commercial themes over free themes, but I use woothemes.com a lot and they do have some nice free ones available.

    The content is the most important part of a blog. Interesting and engaging content will bring visitors in over great design every time. Starting out, I'd want to get 25 posts in there of very high quality then just get on a posting schedule to keep new content flowing in.

      Cool. Figured 25-50 was about right. Should I post like 2-3 a week or would it be better to have 5-10 a week? Know it is better to do it slowly to look more natural but would like to have a decent ranking in a few months.

        I know I'm always anxious for a blog to get some traffic and traction. I usually go with 5 the first week and then maybe 3 the next and 3 a week until it starts to become harder to get topics that are really interesting.

    Start with WordPress and buy a theme that would suit your design needs. After that, work on some great and helpful content. The more relevant your content is, the more Google would like it. As for the duration of your blog, once a day would be good (Monday to Friday) and then 3 - 4 times a week. After a month you can do posting on Monday Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesdays and Thursdays if you can insert some photo blogs that would be good.

    Good luck!

    Thanks you all. Sounds like a good plan to build it up naturally as well. Can you recommend anybody that can do it for me for a great price? I work 50 hours a week.

      I would suggest the agency I own but we're fully-booked until March. I can probably ask around for you and get you a good deal. If you're interested, message me with the details and I'll see what kind of price I can get.

    Getting blog traffic is easy.

    Create blog content that doesn't suck, and other bloggers will share it on social media.

    ;]

    (I've had like 1,000 blog shares in 2014 alone last time I checked, which was months ago, and I've been slacking off HEAVILY over the last few months lol).

    But... Let me ask you this...

    Do you think around 1,000 shares brought me just a tad bit of traffic + social media juice?



    (I suck with Google, and focus on creating GOOD content instead).

    Hope that helps you brainstorm, and wish you the best

    Yeah. Definitely better to focus on content & the traffic & shares will come. That's why I want to make it as unique as possible & hopefully get it to the top of the search engines.

    Fiverr.com is a great place to outsource logos and such.

    I have used their services and got great products for a very cheap price.

    Focus on marketing your posts at the beginning instead of creating tons of content that no one is every going to see.

    Once you start getting descent traffic you can start creating more content.

    I would suggest 1 - 2 high value blog posts per week with lot of marketing to get traffic to them.

    Make sure you optimize them for the search engines as well

    Cheers

    If you want a great looking blog that doesn't cost you a fortune, install WordPress and then choose a premium theme. Pick one featuring beautiful slides, parallax effect, and professional graphics. Have at least 5-10 posts before launching your blog.

      Sounds good. Like the idea about having the posts ready below launching & should give it a good head start. I'll be sure to add it to my sig when it is ready

      As everyone else has stated get yourself a premium theme, I myself am using Avada and it looks beautiful albeit a bit slower as opposed to free themes. For this reason I will be moving my squeeze pages to static html files so that they load quicker

      Once traffic picks up (1000+ visitors a day?) and your site beings to have a lot more content such as images and video I would HIGHLY advise a VPS solution combined with Litespeed and a CDN. For VPS I have used Beyond Hosting in the past when I was running adult CPA and their service is top notch and for CDN I used RackSpace, the the cost was very reasonable, I want to say like $20 a month or less.

      Outsourcing is a great option for people like me with very little free time just make sure the content is engaging and not crap as others have stated.

        Sounds good. What is a good price for outsourcing a blog anyways? I was thinking about just getting the initial theme setup from a web designer then ordering some articles from getcontent or something like that. Would it be possible for under $100?

    Research keyword according to your website model and stuff them into your articles. If you're going out for affiliate then you must have to provide good quality articles that can satisfy your visitors need and make sales. Effective design is also necessary..

    If you are looking for social traffic instead or in addition to search engine traffic you might want to consider making content that goes viral. I made a tutorial on my blog on how to setup such a site.

    You have dozens of different free themes to choose from when setting up your template.

    As far as content goes the key there is to be steady. Write your content around keyword phrases based on research that you do.

    When creating your blog post it is very important to keep on-page SEO in mind. You need to do off-page SEO or backlinking as well. Set a time everyday to do that!

    Make sure to include images and h2 and h3 tags in your post.

    Make sure to have Google Analytics and Webmaster tools set up on your blog so you can watch and see what is going on.

    I started a fishing blog a few months ago and only have 14 post on it and google has me indexed with 105 keywords many of which I am on the first page for.


    Really can't say how many post.

      Use the search feature and you will find an incredible amount of topics here.

      Or you can try Google.

      This has nothing to do with the thread and jacking someone else's thread to ask your own question is probably not the best way to start here.
