Big MLM Tip of the Day: 3 Components of an MLM Blog - Keywords

Over the past few days we have been discussing whether or not you are ready to start your own MLM Blog and the 3 key components of your blog. 

Today we will talk about keywords. You can visit my SEO page for information on doing keyword research. 

Let's touch on how to use keywords in your blog. When you are first starting out, you should find 3 or 4 good keyword phrases to target. Eventually you will have dozens of keywords you are targeting, but a few will get you started. Every post or page you create should include at least one of these keywords, and be sure the post or page title includes that keyword. 

Also, your keyword should appear in the first and last sentence of each post as well as in the body of your text. If your posts are longer, say 500 words or more, you will want to include your keywords 4 or 5 times. If they are short, like most of mine, at the beginning and end will suffice. 

You do not want to have your keyword density to get higher than about 6%. Google "keyword density tool" and you will find several. 

If you do your keyword research, post quality keyword specific content on a regular basis, and be persistent, it will pay off in the long run. In about a week I will be doing another series soon on backlinking that will focus more on how keywords work for you and how to tie them all together.

Big MLM Tip of the Day: 3 Components of an MLM Blog- Consistency

If you have not read the post from the past two days, start with  "Are You Ready for Your Own MLM Blog", then read the post on Content from yesterday. 

Now, the second component of a successful blog is consistency. 

If you hope to attract traffic from the search engines, you are going to have to write consistently. Consistent posting is how you attract the search engine spiders to crawl your site regularly. 

This is especially important when you first start your MLM Blog. To get the attention of the search engine robots, you will need to post daily for at least 6 weeks. Twice a day is best. 

If you do this, and include your keyword phrases, you will start to see results within that 6 week period. After that, if you want, you can scale back to every other day and watch to make sure it does not affect your rankings. 

At minimum, you will want to continue to post 3-4 times a week. Yes, this is quite a commitment, but it is worth it in the long run. 

Tomorrow we will discuss the all important keyword aspect of blogging.

Big MLM Tip of the Day: 3 Components of a MLM Blog- Content

If you did not read yesterday's post, "Are You Ready to Start Your Own MLM Blog" I suggest you go read it first.

While this may seem like a no-brainer, many people seem to not understand the concept. The first thing you will need is a steady stream of fresh content. You do not have to write it all yourself, but we will talk about this on another day. Constant content not only keeps readers engaged but the search engines like it too.

You will need to do some writing of your own if you ever hope to brand yourself as an expert. When creating content keep the 3 E's in mind; Educate, Enlighten, Entertain. You will want to include at least one of these, or any combination of the 3. 

In the world of the Internet, content is the king. Tomorrow we will talk about consistency.

Big MLM Tip of the Day: Are You Ready for Your Own MLM Blog?

This post starts a series covering some of what you may want to consider if you are planning to start an MLM Blog. This is a big step. If you are not prepared to do what is required, then maybe it's not the right time. If you are, then get ready for the ride. 

First, you have to decide why you want to have your own MLM Blog. What are you planning to promote? Will you be offering helpful information for other network marketers, write reviews of companies or products, or something else entirely?

Do you plan to put the effort into SEO so that you will pull traffic from search engines, or do you simply want to bring your friends there from Facebook and twitter? 

The answers to these questions will determine how you proceed. If you are new to this, and not sure you want to get your own URL and host your own blog, then blogger will be your best bet. Maybe you are just familiar with it like me and want to use it. 

Otherwise, you will need to get a URL and install a Wordpress blog on it. We won't go into how all this works now, but maybe we can discuss it further later. 

So, are you ready to start your own MLM blog? In the next 3 days we'll cover the 3 key components you will need for a successful blog.
