We’re off…the first post in the new blog series called: Successful Corporate Blogs.
And this first one is about writing for your audience.
Remember the old saying, “If you throw enough mud at the wall some of it will stick”?
If you’re an amateur plasterer that may work quite effectively but if you’re an internet marketer it won’t work – you have to choose your walls very carefully.
What I’m saying here is if you aim your marketing at receptive people who are interested in your products your efforts will stick – and a lot more effectively.
This guest post was written by Zac Johnson, an internet marketer with over 15 years of experience, and blogger at ZacJohnson.com.

Trying To Do Many Things At The Same Time

It would be a bit disappointing if you have been blogging for a while now, but you only get comments here and there. This is just the same as making a speech in public only to hear crickets chirping in the background.

Much of the talk on the web today is centered around the fact that business websites seem to be becoming obsolete; what with social media taking over the online world, do people even need their own sites in order to promote their businesses and sell their products and services?
Isn’t it enough to just establish a presence on Facebook and/or Twitter and try to interest at least a few of the 500 billion people with profiles in their products and services?

And I have come to the conclusion that each customer is different. Each customer has different needs.
Some want a basic blog.
Some want a blog with lots of fancy ‘bells and whistles’.
Some want me to do all the work for them including the blog writing and maintenance.
Some go on and use me as a mentor for their on-line business.

When I first began writing for blogs my approach was seriously flawed. But I quickly took note of the errors I made, and I will outline these mistakes to help you avoid making them.
The top 3 blogging mistakes I made are:
Last time in the Blog Expert Series we discussed how to find your own voice when you enter the world of blogging. You now know the best ways to write, and have hopefully found your ideal style.

Now that all that is settled, you’re off, right? Ready to pour out article after article with ongoing enthusiasm and passion?
Give it a couple of weeks.
Business blogging like raising kids?
Really?
YES!
A little warning…reading this may put you off business blogging and kids for life!
Many people turn to business blogging by running a small business online following a stint in the corporate world, particularly if they have children.
This means that in addition to running your business, you also have, if you are one of these people, a wealth of other experiences that are related to the parenting process, which may not be acceptable at PriceWaterhouseCoopers on your resume, but truly support the blogging process in tangible ways.
It is important to understand Search Engine Optimization (SEO) because by getting it right you can drive natural traffic to your site.
And we all want more and more traffic, don’t we?
There are a lot of blogs that have great content but fail to get noticed because they have yet to implement good SEO techniques.
