March 4, 2010

Calling all Veteran and Newbie BLOGGERS…!

Join me, Aletha McManama, THE BLOG STRATEGIST, where I will be your Question and Answer host via a FREE 60-minute live webinar …

“THE ULTIMATE WORDPRESS Q & A SESSION WITH
THE BLOG STRATEGIST”!

This info-packed webinar will take place on Thursday, March 18 at 12 PM EST (11 AM CST, 10 AM MTN, 9 AM PT)

I want to take this time with you to not only critique sample WordPress blog or blogsites, but to also open up the webinar session to allow you to bring your most challenging WordPress questions to the call so that I can answer them for you. And if you would like for me to critique your WordPress site for you, email me at aletha@theblogstrategist.com and I will be happy to review your site on the webinar call.

You will come away from this webinar call with an understanding of:

• How to critique your own WordPress blogsite…what to look for and what not to have on your blog!
• Tips on how to create your own blog posting editorial schedule
• Listen and learn from others that come to the call with challenging WordPress questions

There will be time throughout the call and at the end of the call for questions, so please come prepared to have your most challenging questions asked and answered by me. Better yet, email me your questions beforehand and I will have answers prepared for you when you attend the call! I will take your questions by email at aletha@theblogstrategist.com.

Hey, and if for some reason you miss the live webinar call, I’ll be sure and send you the recorded video/audio in your inbox shortly after the call ends. But I would certainly love to have you there “live” so you can ask questions and gain the most out of this Q&A session. And did I mention that the call is FREE?!

I wouldn’t pass up this opportunity as I reveal tools and tips to maximize the effectiveness of your blog marketing efforts.

Don’t Read a Blog by Its Cover!

March 1, 2010

Now how many times have you heard, “Don’t judge a book by its cover!”? Way too many times for me to count. I couldn’t resist adding a twist to the title and having it read, “Don’t read a blog by its cover”! There’s a story behind this title…read on.

How many times have you visited someone’s website only to totally ignore the blog page? Before you decide that you don’t like the layout of someone’s website you are visiting, give it a chance and just take a moment to visit their blog page and read their blog postings. You may actually gain insight or information on what the blogger has to say. Better yet, if you like the information they provide, don’t hesitate to subscribe to their blog by an email web form or via RSS. Hopefully, this blog has the capability to subscribe. If not, the author is missing out on some great traffic to their site!

This is just one of the items that I will be seeking on sample blogs that I will be critiquing on next month’s WordPress Q&A call. Granted the author may be providing great content, but it is so, so important to keep your readers coming back so they can gain interest in what you have to offer. Okay, I couldn’t resist this cliché either…build it and they will come! They will come only if you have made an effort to index your blog site by easily available SEO tools for WordPress. The SEO tool I use for most of my blogsites is the All In One SEO Pack which you can find here.

Certainly, there are other ways to promote your blog, but the most important thing to remember is to post often! I would love to hear from you if you have other ideas you want to share. I’ll be glad to pass them on to the list in my next edition of the WordPress to Website newsletter! Email me at aletha@theblogstrategist.com.
