If you are building your home based business online chances are you already know the importance of blogging. Having a business blog can be one of the best things you can do for your business in order to attract people to you and gain more prospects.
Blogging also allows you to stay in touch and build a relationship with people already on your team that may be scattered around the country or the globe. If you’re wanting to build an effective and popular blog you don’t need much.
The first thing you’ll need is a good domain name. I recommend using a domain name that is keyword optimized. So rather than JennifersBlog.com perhaps go with something like JennifersHomeBusinessSuccessBlog.com or JensWorkAtHomeBlog.com the possibilities are endless but just know that keywords are always best because they will automatically get your blog in the search engines faster.
However the real trick to building an effective blog doesn’t lay in the domain name, or the layout (although obviously you don’t want an ugly blog) but in the content aka the posts themselves.
So how do you write more effective blog posts that will not only captivate your current readers and keep them coming back but help you gain a bigger and bigger audience and at the same time raise your blog in the search engines?
Her are a few simple tips to help you write better content for your blog.
1. Keywords!
This can not be said enough. If you want to build a popular and effective blog you can’t do it without the use of keywords. Take some time and do your keyword research because it will pay off big time if you do it right! Another good tip is to use keywords in the categories for your blog as well! Wherever you can fit in a keyword do it!
2. Get Original!
Nobody is going to come back an visit a boring blog. Make sure your content is original and exciting. The most effective blogs I’ve found will have a mix of helpful content and personal stories. You want your readers to know and trust you as a business person as well as care about you as an individual.
3. Use Pictures!
I can not stress enough how much adding pictures will add to your blog. Breaking up your text with pictures will make people want to read more and more and the more personal the pics can be the better. So if you’re talking about your trip to Hawaii with the family don’t just use a stock photo of Hawaii use one of you and your family! Another tip is to make sure and keyword optimize the titles of your pictures before you post them as well!
Those are just a few simple tips that will help your blog become more popular. Make sure you work on your blog at least a couple times a week and follow these tips and you’ll be good to go!

The Importamce of Keywords
If you’re thinking about building your home based business online you’re going to need to know a lot about keywords. People don’t always realize the importance of keywords to their home based business however, they are actually critical to your online success.
A keyword is a word or phrase that people type into a search engine hoping to find different websites and resources that they want or need. Because of that if you don’t use keywords correctly there is a good chance that no one will be able to find your website when they’re searching for it.
If nobody can find your website your business obviously won’t be doing well so it’s vitally important to the life of your business that you research keywords and know exactly how to use them. There are many resources online that will help you learn how to get the most out of keywords however, here are a few tips to help you get started and you can build from there.
First of all, you’ll want to make your keywords as specific as possible. Yes, there are a lot of people online looking for the term “home based business” but if you go to google or any other search engine you’ll find that there are so many websites that already use the term “home based business” that your competition is too steep.
A better choice would be “best home based job in Chicago” or “top work from home opportunity in Texas”. Even though less people will be searching for these terms when they do search for them they’ll have a better chance of finding you. The more specific the better with your keywords especially when it comes to the home based business industry because there is so much competition.
Try to use keywords in your website domain name, on your website, on your blog, in articles, on Youtube and pretty much everywhere else you can.
Everything comes back to keywords when you’re working on the internet. Do your research and find keywords that work well for you. Use them as much as possible and more and more people will be looking at your opportunity and that means more money in your pocket.
