Building a mainstream Blog Empire



A friend recently asked me... "How do I build a mainstream blog Empire"? My answer is very simple. Focus on NICHE and content quality. That's all. Everything else flows from these two.

Let's break it down:

1) Focus on a niche you are passionate about. This might seem cliched and trite but it's true. If you don't care enough about your topic to research it and convey your excitement to your reader, then your blog will be flat. Good blogs thrive on PASSION.

Passion to research. Passion to write catchy content worthy of linking to. Passion to find relevant not so well known information and trends about your niche.

2) Niche research. Make sure that the niche you are passionate about makes enough money for your project to be self-sustaining. Find your keywords' rough PPC value on Adsense or YPN. List out your keywords and use keyword tracker to find out how competitive they are. Weed out the most common keywords and focus on "long tail" keywords. The longer and more specific the better.

3) Write for BOTH the search engines and your readers. Learn how to integrate search strategy into QUALITY content. Make sure you don't sacrifice one for the other but balance both.

4) Write entries with an eye towards getting voluntary links from other website owners. A little drama and provocative writing that tweaks human interests is a great way to get link backs. Another approach would be to write AUTHORITY sites.

5) Comment on other blogs and establish relationships with your peers.

6) SUBMIT SUBMIT SUBMIT. Submit your blog to blog directories, ping your stuff regularly, submit your site to Web2.0 community sites.

7) Read your stats regularly and CLOSELY. There might be a site that is sending the BULK of your traffic. Contact the owner and get a deal going. Remember, it doesn't have mean buying ads. It could mean swapping content for traffic or swapping links.
