Blog building for a more informed tomorrow

The world of having your own blog
This having a blog is an E-Marketing a part of email marketing efforts to gain popularity in a web site you own.

Here goes Logic again. Blogs are a great tool and if you approach the blog the same way that you have approached your business or life with a plan, a well documented and thought-out plan then you are ready to be a blogger.

Your number one question to ask yourself
What to write about?
Actually this is harder then you or us thought it would be. Here are some things to ask yourself.

What are your interests
This even sound simple doesn’t it? You need to consider this.
Is your blog to promote your business or it for personal sharing? If yes to business then fine you are off and running the choice is made for you. Not yet because wile you can always add topics as you go it is like starting over though.

Here is why
Blogs are and ongoing log file about your topic and if you create a blog and you have like in our case 4 topics 3 relating to business for us and 1 relating to venting our thought on anything you might conjure up.

Blog Statistics
Your blog will need to compete with the estimated 100 million blogs on the Internet these days. The good news here is, because there are so many completely free blog software’s out there today and with people having and operating some 6, 12, even 20 of them they are beginning to fail. This is good news for us and you. The less there are the better odds of people finding our blogs.

What happens when things are easy to do and free
This is great. See Logic can remember a friend actually it was Catnip and Catnip got a job one summer during high-school at a dough nut shop folding boxes for the dough nut shop owner. See Catnip loves sweets beyond any person Logic has ever known. Catnip you might say had a sweet job. While Catnip was being paid to fold boxes he also was allowed to eat all of the dough nut he could eat. After the first couple of weeks Catnip did not want to even smell a dough nut yet alone eat them anymore.

Catnip Scenario
This Catnip scenario is similar to what is and has been happening to the FREE blog software and have all of the blogs you want concept.
These people that wanted to operate those 6, 12, or 20 or even more blogs like most of us started out like a “gunhoo willie” typing each day and night about all they knew on the subjects and could even dig up on the subject matter. Then instead of the daily posting to each blog they started to just add a subject to a topic each week, then after some more time each month they would write until they were not writing anymore or maybe just every 3 months. This was the death of their blogs.

What is the bottom line here
Nothing in life is free even a blog software is costing you, time and hello world time is money, because with each of us time is all we have. Logic knows this better then most in one aspect. Logic comes from actually being educated and raised in an aerospace manufacturing environment.

Writers Note:
Thank you Mom and Dad I actually have an advantage because of this great way of understanding how to sell anything into an economy by never basing the sale on price.

What makes a blog work
This is really a good time to share what happens if you are not updating your topics on a daily bases.

How many topics to write about
We in our case selected 4 topics. We believe that the more topics you have that are not related to one another deludes your blogs strengths.

How often to blog
We are not saying that you cannot take a day off once in the while say like not posting a topic on Sundays would more then likely be fine. This way you are adding topic content 6 days a week.
There is more to this however, your content needs to be informative, educational, tips and techniques, and be even breaking news.

How much to blog about each day
Next you will need to also write about 1000 to 2000 words (in our opinion) of content each day as well. This is why at the beginning of this article we encourage a lot of thought about your topic selections. If you try to write about a subject that you or us do not have a passion for then our blogs are destine to failure.

Accurate Information Sharing is critical
Accuracy is critical. Remember that you will over time gain a reader base even subscribers to your blog so besides just writing a lot of content each day you are going to become and excellent researcher into your topics so what you are writing about is the best most informative information you or us can provide our readers.

Selecting a blogging topic
The best way to approach this is to stay away from subjects that are over populated. One way to check out your blog theme and even by each topic is to go to one of the many blog directories, type in your topic and see how many there are already. Here is a Blog Directory or two to get you started Blog Directories or Blog Directories

Prevent dating your blog
Next stay clear of time or date sensitive topics like elections, game consoles, a single movie or music industry individual, or anything that is hot now but may not be tomorrow like and IPod for example. However you could be writing about electronic gadgets and this way you are covered as you are in the general overall electronics industry.
It is the best advise to select a theme for your blog then select the topics that blend with the theme. It is best to keep the topics as open as possible. This will allow you to maintain your topics while expanding your articles.

What hurts a blogs performance
Lets start off with the obvious like headline news that was reported already. If you did this you are then recognized as a follower writing literally yesterdays news today. The search engine spiders and bots are not going to show any concern for your content.
There is and even more important factor about writing about the past like this as well.

Excite your readers
Your readers are already going to be in the know about the old news no matter how you re-write it. What all blogs or for that fact all web sites (by the way they are the same) become popular for is all about the content. Not just any content, but rather on target content. The content needs to catch and hold onto the reader, be relevant and informative. Even educational, like those how to do this or that types of truly helpful stuff.

Maintain a posting regiment
We mentioned this under What makes a blog work.
Blogs need readers. These readers come in to your site in two ways. They are the actual readers that arrive to your blog because they are interested in your blogs topics and they are the search engine spiders and bots that are coming to crawl your site for new content or a person doing a search has typed in topic keywords that your blog best matches.

About the Logic Talk blog
We began blogging on April 11, 2008.
While blogs really began coming on the scene in 2005 Logic and Catnip held out until there was some stable purpose for the blog. Today we have a blog and writing, sharing, loving, and venting about what we do, are doing, and will be doing became the primary reason to launch the LogicsBlog.com under the title of Logic Talk.
We have 4 topics because we believe that having more (and we see blogs with 20 to 30 topic headings) topic heading would dilute the branding efforts that the blog is providing to our branding efforts and to our search engine SEO/SEM advancements (Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing) that is even though we have 4 topics is for our Email Marketing web based software services web site ViperMailer.com here if you are interested to what drives us to write as much per day as we do Email Marketing
