Bloggers Checklist for a Money Making Blog

Bloggers Checklist

Below are some of the crucial items you should have on your
Blog. Take a look at this list and your Blog and see how
you measure up. I can tell you that I did it myself and I
had to create an action plan to fix my own Blog.

You see, just because I know what needs to be done doesn't
mean I always have time to implement it myself.

It is like the shoe cobbler's children going to school with
their shoes falling apart. I am so busy helping clients,
I don't have time to work on my own things.

The same may be true for you. You are so busy but you know
you want to, actually you need to, Blog. So you start it
and don't necessarily have everything in place.

That's OK. The key is to find out where you are lacking
and create an action plan so you can take steps towards
getting everything in place,

So, here is your checklist. Do you have:

A strategy in place? Do you know why are you Blogging?
What are you hoping to accomplish? Do you know how often
you have to Blog, what types of posts you need in order to
accomplish your objective?

A posting schedule? Ideally you should have at least 2 new
posts a week, and up to 5. Less than 2 is too little, and
over 5 is often too much (unless you are a great writer and
have lots of news and information to share, so you aren't
just writing fluff).

A comment policy? Do you moderate? If so, how long does it
take to approve comments.

An 'About Us' section? Since Blogging is about connecting,
sharing information and creating dialog to form
relationships, you need to be sure to tell people who you
are and what you are all about. Including contact
information is a good idea

A Blogroll? Be sure to include NON company links. Point
your readers to sites/blogs that you think THEY would be
interested in reading. Yes, you can add your website, but
please mix in some non-company sites as well to show people
you are truly interested in being a resource for them.

RSS subscriber buttons? Give your readers a way to
subscribe to your Blog, via a feed reader. Feedburner is a
quick and easy way to get this done.

Photos, graphs or charts to create visual interest.

Videos to engage users.

Personality and opinions so people feel they are really
hearing your voice and not just some regurgitated industry
news.

Links back to relevant pages on your website.

A custom header graphic that doesn't take up too much space
but shows that your Blog is uniquely yours and not just
some out of the box Blog platform that has no
customization. Some people choose to have their header
match the look and feel of their main site.

So go check out your Blog right now and see how you measure
up.
