Sorry for the delay with this second part of Blogging Tips.
It was due to be posted last night but an unforseen occurance forced me to delay the post by a day so here it is: Blogging Tips Part 2
Goals and Targets:
When blogging to make money you should sit down and realistically evaluate how many hours work you want to put in or are able to put in and what it is exactly you want to achieve.
When I first started blogging over a year ago now I didn't have a clue how good my site should be doing after a certain amount of days.
Well here is probably your first ever guidelines on where your blog COULD be if you put in a maximum of 12 hours a week.
In the first 3 days you should be aiming to hit 100 views. It sounds easy but putting together a blog and writing articles which will encourage return viewers and also SEO duties which need to be completed can be tasking at the end of the day.
Also if your like me and work a 35 hour week and still have to find time to blog and research topics you plan to blog about then it can be pretty difficult to space your duties out over a period of time so here a little tip on how I managed it.
I blog about 10 hours a week but most of the time I do small posts which generally take around 15 mins to write so it adds up to about 12 hours a week.
So if you were to be working on your blog 12 hours a week heres how you could organize your time so as to maximise your chances of success.
12 hours a week could be 3hours for any 4 days out of a 7 day week.
Out of the 3 hours you should spend around 30 mins researching your next topic of discussion, another hour of that 3 hours should be spent actually writing your article you were researching for and, finally, the other hour and a half should be spent commenting on other peoples blogs which are relevant to your blog subject and also submitting links to promotion sites like StumbleUpon, Nabtag, Reddit etc.
This has got to be the most effective time organization that will most definitely prove to be successful.
Bear in mind that your blog will not be a success over night and will take effort and patience for it be a success.
The second part of this article I will be covering is "How partnerships with other sites and blogs will boost your traffic".
When you find a blog that you have followed along with for a few weeks and you have decided that this is the blog for you then you should get in contact with the owner and ask him/her to check out your blog and if they like it make a partnership with his/hers blog and post links to each others site regularly therefore bouncing traffic back and forward between you.
Sorry again for the delay with this article even though not alot of people are following at the moment it still matters to me as I plan to show that with good time keeping and good material your blog can make you real money.
