Hub You - How To Make Your Blog Lively?
Don't Procrastinate...Immediately Get Control Of Your To Do Lists: The first key is to start organizing and planning earlier than later. Most entrepreneurs are the worst procrastinators there are. But procrastinating with their organizing is like death.Start with a plain old paper and pencil, and start jotting down everything that you need to remember to do to establish a master list of to do items. Then check them off as you do them.Recently I have started using Mindmap software from Mindjet in conjunction with Gyronix's Results Manager that polls all my mindmaps for the next to do items.Beware of us
Say something of value
This is very important. Unless you’ve something fresh to add, why do you think your readers will find your blog interesting to read. It is tempting to gloss over this matter for the simple reason that it is difficult to write value-posts every time. It perhaps is. But keep telling yourself that you can always give a small twist to a tale already told. That may not be as difficult as you like to imagine.

There are several ways you can earn money using a blog. One way is with Affiliate Sales which is promoting another person's product where you get paid a commission. Another way is with Adsense which is where you have advertisements for other people's products put on your blog and you are paid when a visitor clicks on this ad. Yet another way is with direct sales where you are selling your own product or a product that you have the resale rights to.If your plan of action is to use Affiliate Sales, you need to find two or three related affiliate programs to join. A few of the places to check for affiliates is Click
There is a growing concept that blog needs search engine optimization as much as a webpage does. This has proponents both for and against. And there is a reason for that. Many websites are in fact blog-sites in the sense that they are built on the back of content management applications, like Nucleus CMS and Wordpress (you need to download on to your server) or the ubiquitous Google’s Blogger (you don’t download anything).
In these cases, since each blog-post makes a separate webpage, it perhaps makes sense to optimize it with a chosen keyword for better search engine ranking. Those who speak against optimizing blog-posts hold the oft-repeated view that it will spoil its spontaneity, which is so necessary for a blog to be liked by viewers.
What then are key points that go to make a blog eminently readable? Here is my take.
Discover a niche
It’s not uncommon to find people having experience in diverse fields. For example, landscaping and philately. While that may be symptomatic of your personality, you’re not expected to explore both in the same blog. Instead, it is always wise to discover a niche topic, say landscaping roof-top gardens or 19th century philately in Europe. As you can see, your topic is very focused. That would be ideal, given today’s mushrooming of blogs everywhere.
Name yourself
Often, blogs are kept deliberately anonymous or given strange names. This has been the style in the beginning when blogs have just come into fashion. This doesn’t work anymore. The point is you want to connect with your viewers, listen to what they have to say, and so a blog is served well when you let your viewers know who you actually are. Any ambiguity on your part will hasten lessening interest in your blog, even if it is well-modulated and well-written.
Develop your style
Your blog is the ideal place to leave your imprint. You may be good in narration, or you may be good as a critic, or perhaps you are a good story-teller, or may be you’re a combination of more than one trait. It helps to remember that there are readers of any style that you adopt in your writing. If you are adept in weaving words, you may try switching between 2 or more styles, but a single style is more preferable if you look at it from your readers’ viewpoint.

To many folks, the idea of “workplace violence” connotes the physical harm that one may do to another. However, there is another form of workplace violence that is as dangerous and insidious, and this is workplace gossip.Gossip is any language that would cause another harm, pain, or confusion that is used outside the presence of another for whom it is intended.As a facilitator, trainer and business coach, I've experienced numerous workplace situations where gossip was a norm. Curiously enough, in these same organizations, most folks would say they were "against" it. Even more, in these same situations, after fo

There are many software applications available for managing customer interactions, or customer relationship management (CRM). It is a mistake to assume that once you've seen one, you've seen them all, because they are not all the same.One of the easiest ways a prospective client can reduce the risk of failure in CRM implementations is to fully engage and co-operate during the discovery phase.Some prospects are reluctant to provide information about their businesses and keep insisting "I know what I want". Unless a person has actually implemented CRM applications before, knowing what you want and knowing how to

Does your jidohanbaiki dispense holy water!I mean to say, does your vending machine dispense holy water as it primarily did in Alexandria, 215 B.C.! Or do you want people to buy Life Insurance Policies from those machines!Yes, people say that these were reasons for which the vending machines were primarily set up. Now one can find a bright pink vending machine selling sex toys in a bar or you may even buy a cellular phone from another one.However, some people may feel happy if the healthy vending machine supplied them only good, fresh, and healthy food. Schools have already banned junk food vending machi

Meet your commitments. Do what you promise and don’t promise what you can’t deliver. Meeting commitments strengthens relationships and builds trust. You need both to solve messy problems. If the situation changes and you have to change a commitment you made in good faith, let everyone know right away so they can make appropriate changes to their own plans. It seems obvious, but many people don’t manage to do this.Managing your commitments successfully means you must be organized yourself, which brings us back to project management—with you being the overall project. That means you’ll need to write down all yo

It’s surprising that among several thousands of blogs debuting everyday, only a handful makes it beyond a month, even less beyond 6 months. One reason may be lack of preparedness, which means many blogs are started on the spur of the moment. If you wish to slog it out, ensure that you write regularly, perhaps every alternate day or 2 to 3 days a week. There are 2 important issues here. Not only you signal to your readers about how frequent to expect your posts, the search engines too will pay regular visits, which is good for overall ‘health’ of your blog.
Link, link everywhere
Be generous with your links. If you’ve taken an idea from another site (no bad that), give a link there, albeit opening in new window. It’s a mistake to believe that you cannot hold your own if you give away links where they matter. On the contrary, you may emerge as a good reference point whom your readers will come to trust in course of time. The other necessity is to link to your own earlier blog-pages whenever there’s a chance to do so. As much as this strategy helps your readers, it’s an important fodder for search engine spiders who prefer links like nothing else.
Coming back to the heading, “How to make your blog lively?”, suffice it to say that a blog is the wholesome fruit of all your efforts above, a sum-total of your ability and willingness to do it well. If one of these is lacking, your blog is likely to suffer, but more than that it is your valiant effort that will go waste. You don’t want that, do you?
