How You Come Your Site In Google First Page?
How You Come Your Site In Google First Page?
Actually START Your Blog
This may seem counter-intuitive, but until you’ve hit “go” you’ll be making excuses on this or that, and it’s always going to be “tomorrow”. Well, tomorrow never comes, all you have is today. Nothing happens until you start, so just do it. You’ll tweak and improve it as you go, that’s life.Choose A Great Blog Host, Who Will Actually Help You Become Successful
No, not some “free” blog host, you get what you pay for lol. And not some old school web host where you’re installing and updating your own software.
We started BlogPress to help new bloggers with these same questions beginning to end, and to help make them successful. If you’re looking for a team to help you succeed, BlogPress is where you want to be. Not only will our team do all the blog hosting stuff, but they’ll teach you how to be a successful blogger.
Choose A Great Topic / Niche For Your Blog
This should be a topic or topics you’re passionate about and can actually write about for a while to come. It will be difficult to blog about something you have no interest in. There is money to be made in almost any popular niche if you’re willing to do the work to own it.
And whatever you do, don’t be afraid to tackle a popular competitive market. You don’t have to be #1 (or even on the first page of Google) to get millions of visitors to your blog. Yes, it’s awesome to see yourself #1 for a search term, but it’s not necessary to have a successful blog.
What is important is to be consistent and to stick with it. If you can outlast your competition, you will be successful.
Get Your Blog Looking Like You Want It
Select a theme that matches your personal style, add a header and images to really make it pop. (Again, this is where BlogPress can really help… You’ll have access to awesome premium themes at no additional cost.)
Write Great Content That People Actually Want To Read
This doesn’t have to be hard!
Top-10 lists work great… answering questions works great too. Just be genuine, be helpful, and be you. Let your personality come through! Don’t try to write like an encyclopedia. People will read your stuff more because of your personality, so let it out!
Make a list of the top questions people in your niche have, and use that as your list of article ideas. Keep adding to this list over time, and you’ll never be short of ideas to write about.
Keep a notepad or voice recorder with you at all times. The best article ideas come to you when you’re stuck in traffic or on the toilet LOL
Publish Content Regularly!
This will show Google and your readers that you’re serious. Instead of publishing 4 articles in a week and nothing for 3 months, write articles when you’re feeling inspired, and schedule them to publish at a regular intervals like 1 per week or even every other week. You can go back and fill in the gaps as you write more content.
Engage With Other Bloggers In Your Niche
Search for other bloggers in your niche and leave comments on their blog, link to their most helpful posts. Be a useful addition to the community. In many cases they will do the same for you – especially if you are providing value on a consistent basis.
Promote Your Blog In Social Media
This means sharing your blog posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus. In the beginning, YOU have to spread the word and in time, your following will grow on its own.
Every time you share a link to your blog on one of these sites, it’s a new link back to your blog. Even better when other people like it enough to share it… Google needs to know that other people like your blog enough to link to it.
Just a quick note on back links… Do not pay for links and do not get involved in link exchanges. These tactics may work for the short-term, but Google has teams of people whose job it is to prevent this type of “inflated” growth. Long term, your best bet is to really create a solid resource for your niche – that’s how you STAY listed in Google.
Build An Email List
Make it easy for your readers to subscribe to your email list. In time this will be where a large portion of your repeat visitors and your revenue come from. If Google sees that you can drive your own traffic, they will be more likely to send you their traffic!
We recommend MailChimp for email list management. They have awesome tutorials and live chat support.
