How Poor Blogging Habits Can Break The Success Cycle
Are you a quasi-successful marketer, breaking the success cycle with poor blogging habits? Shall I be up front and personal? Poor blogging habits can break the success cycle you have been working so hard to create.
I'm cruising BlogEstates checking out some pretty darned good blog posts and shaking my head at some bloggers determined to break the success cycle with some pretty poor blogging habits. The list of blogs with posts dating back to last year as their most current post is growing. Now failure to post consistently has to lead the list of poor blogging habits.
Those blogs that no longer have current posts in them really grab the mind. Whatever is happening to these good people that they have overlooked the power of the blogs they started, never really getting them off the ground?
Have they found a secret we have yet to discover? Is there some new fantastic better way to keep up the all-important relationship building we know comes from good blogging?
Somebody please enlighten me?
The other thing that has caught my mind is some of the companies bloggers are promoting right up front and in your face. In your blog? Why are you using poorly planned direct sales techniques in your blog? You are leaving money on the table. Company material will sell your prospect once you have done your job of upselling the WiiFM values on your web site using a product recommendation, NOT posting it in your blog.
I gotta tell you, there is some backwards thinking going on here.
Since when do you buy a product and lambaste your people with it in your blog?
If your people are into promoting widgets, you surely do not want to push weight loss products in their faces now do you? You are most likely going to turn your readership off big time. More than that, you will not capture many names for your contact list this way.
Building your contact list is the second most important thing you want to do. Sure you want to continually build that contact list base. BUT stop the poor blogging habits. Do this sort of promotion on your web site.
The first and extremely important thing you should be doing is finding out all you can about your current downline of program subscribers as well as your target market and making sure they receive the kind of information and products that feed their needs.
Your Blog is first and foremost a relationship builder. A way to communicate mutual interests and needs with value content that helps build their business NOT yours.
Using the available tools that prevent poor blogging habits
What about TsunamiGold if your tastes it to learn how to use pay-per-click and your future intentions are adsense income streams?
Use Clickholics if you are an ffa fan. USe Viral Visitors or Viral Class Ads if you are a safelist or classifieds fan, or even a smart turn of a simple survey on your site.
If you do not have a clue about the current people in your subscriber base then you are batting 1000 for instant failure.
Are you getting a reality check here as to why your online business may be stagnant? Do you see how poor blogging habits can break the success cycle? Blogging is not difficult, it just requires a little common sense in how to use blogging to create a success cycle. If you are not that confident, then attend our blogging and winning courses and stop the poor blogging habits. Your business may depend on it.
