The Creative Design Blog

After you have chosen your theme and have all the wordpress plug-ins you want to use installed then you need to begin writing content for your blog. Without any content there is no value to your readers so make sure you add a good amount of posts to your blog in the beginning. Typically I will spend the first week writing three posts a day and submitting them to social bookmarking websites. This will allow you to have roughly twenty posts on your blog and all of them should be indexed from the social bookmarking.

Twenty posted articles is a good amount of content to start off with and after the first week you can begin writing only one post a day. This will give you more time to market and promote your blog to the masses of people out there looking for information. We’ll talk more about this later in the guide as for right now I want to talk about the content you write.

Either you or a writer will be doing the content creation for your blog and you’ll need to decide this on a few factors. You’ll need to make sure you have time each day to write a blog post and you’ll also need to have some writing capabilities. If you have neither then you might want to consider hiring a writer for your blog. Of course this costs money and takes away from money you could be making so if you can I would write your own blog posts. This way you can become more involved with your blog as well since you’ll be writing the blog posts.

Don’t expect just to throw up short meaningless written posts on your web blog and expect the traffic to start pouring in. You need to add valuable content to your web blog that isn’t found elsewhere often. If you just regurgitate what everyone else talks about then you’ll find it difficult to get readers since they read it elsewhere also.

Make sure you always offer some value in your posted articles though. For instance you can offer many things in your posted articles and you should focus on only one per post. You can write about news for the day, an educational topic or an opinionated topic. You can also write about how your day is going and whatever else you want at the bottom of your posted articles. This will help for the people reading your blog to relate to you. If the people can relate to your life then they will typically stick around and become a regular reader and contributor to your blog.

Once you have the initial surge of content indexed and ranking in the search engines You will start to see some search engine traffic. If you have chosen good topics then the number of visitors could be very large and it’s consistent. Your content is what will make you cash online as a blogger so make sure you spend long enough writing your posted articles. Keep things like titles and keywords in mind when you’re writing the post so that it’s optimized for your needs.

Writing is easy if you open your mind a little bit and once you start writing on a topic the written posts will begin to flow out of your mind. It’s always smart to write a handful of written posts, I recommend a week worth and keep them stored away in a document. This way if you get sick or go on vacation for a week you can load the pre-written written posts to your web blog and possess them written posts on the same schedule that you usually post them at. This way you don’t miss any days of adding written posts to your web blog as it could result in lost readers if you do miss writing for a few days.
