What Should My Blog Be About?

Advice is a funny thing. Everything from what doctor to use, to what car to buy, everyone has an opinion and most are ready and willing to give you advice about almost anything.

People base this on their own experience. You have to decide what advice you will use or not use. The same goes for advice about all things related to seo, Internet marketing, blogging, web design, etc.

The short answer to the question this blog post is about, “What Should My Blog Be About?”, is whatever you want it to be about. it’s your blog. Blogs are a funny animal. No matter what the blog is about, it should have your own personality and choices built into it.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you are not blogging the way you should or that your blog is not a “real” or “legitimate” blog. That is just their opinion about what they think every blog should be like.

If every blog was done the same, then blogging would soon be history because it would be extremely boring.

Seo advice for blogging. What works for one blog may not work for another blog. 2 different blogs + the same seo techniques = 2 different results. You have to find what works for you. That means listening to what worked for someone else and possibly trying it out. Then based on the results you get, you decide to keep that going or try something else.

Content Advice for Blogging. Again, here you will get a lot of opinions. One thing I do know is your blog needs it’s own personality. You have one of those, so use it. Do not be afraid to be yourself. it’s what makes you different from everyone else and what will make your blog different from all the other blogs. Don’t conform your blog to fit what the other bloggers are doing. have your own style.

Keyword advice for blogging. There will be some who advise you to use a 15% keyword density, some who say 8%, some who say more or less %. Ignore them all. They have no clue as to an exact percentage for keyword density. Talk about your topic, whatever you choose that to be. Use keywords and phrases naturally associated with your topic and the search engines will pick them up and help people find your blog post. Do it naturally. Don’t spam the blogpost full of keywords just because you want a top listing in google.

Make money blogging advice. This is where it really gets messy. If you are blogging to make money, there is nothing at all wrong with that. There are bloggers who tell you that if you are there to make money, you are not a “real” blogger. They think it’s an art form or whatever. That is okay too. That is what they want THEIR blog to be for. That is their right. Just like it is your right to blog for money.

Some bloggers make money with adsense or yahoo publisher. Some blogs never do well with either of those things. Some blogs can get revenue directly from advertisers. Other blogs cannot get people to advertise. Some use paid posts through companies like PayPerPost.com.

Other blogs directly sell a product or service. They are more of a store than a blog you might say, but once again, you get to define your own blog. It’s not up to anyone else.

Other blogs point people to a website the blogger owns to get the readers to buy a service or product. Other bloggers use affiliate links. You can post about topics related to a product or service someone else sells and make a commission if a reader clicks the affiliate link you provide and buys the product.

You can do book reviews and give your amazon.com affiliate link to where people can find the book to buy.

You have to see what works for you and try a lot of different things. And I repeat, it is YOUR blog. YOU choose what it is about. use YOUR personality in your blog posts. You have to find the things that work for YOUR blog.

Be confident and bold. try new things. The best blog in the world has not been created yet. Make your own path. maybe everyone else will soon be following you instead of the other way around.
