Blogs planning & development:
As bloggers, we can leverage that planning craze by developing plans for our blogs.
Following are 5 tips to help you create a blog plan that will make your long-term blogging
success more realistic.
Keep your goals attainable:
One of the most important parts of any business or marketing plan is to make sure your
objectives are quantifiable and attainable. The same holds true for a blog plan. Each
goal should be quantified, and a timeline should be attached to it.
Some examples include: number of subscribers, number of posts per day, number of page
views, number of unique visitors, number of incoming links, Google page rank, ad revenue
generated, etc.
Create a map of how to reach your goals with specific milestones:
Creating goals is useless without a clear path defined to reach those goals. Naturally,
that path may shift and change over time to adapt to changing markets (or in a blogger’s
case, the changing blogosphere), so flexibility is an inherent requirement to a business
(or blog) plan.
For example, strategies to reach a traffic-related goal might include specific social
bookmarking, forum participation or networking tactics. Remeber, your map should be
specific and realistic in order to be meaninful and actionable.
Research the market :
For a business to be successful, you need to understand where it will add value and how it
will attract customers. The same holds true for blogs. You need to understand who will
want to read your blog and where to find them, so you can make them aware of your blog,
convince them to visit then hopefully, retain them with great content and two-way conversation (i.e., customer loyalty).
Create a test plan:
No one knows the perfect recipe for blogging success, but one thing is certain, you can’t
be afraid to take risks. One way to mitigate risk is by creating a test plan where you’ll
determine what you’ll test, when and why to move closer to achieving your goals. For
example, you might want to test ad types, sources or placement. Alternatively, you could
test post frequency, SEO techniques, traffic-building techniques and more. The blogosphere
is everchanging, and your test plan should be a moving instrument as well.
Stick to your plans:
While you’ll certainly need to retool your blog plan over time, it’s essential that you
stay patient and don’t expect too much too soon. As you hit each milestone in your blog
plan, you’ll be able to celebrate a short term success then continue to drive forward to
reach your long-term objectives. The most important lesson to keep in mind is this: don’t
give up too soon. While a small minority of bloggers find sudden online fame and fortune,
the vast majority of bloggers work long and hard to carve their paths to success. Look at
yourself as an entrepreneur who is trying to build a new business venture then commit
yourself to the long-term success of that business – in this case, your blog.
