Start Blogging – 10 Must to Do Things After Creating a Blog
January 9, 2008, filed under Blogging Insights
After knowing what blog platform you want to use, these are ten things to do to complete the early phase of your blog building by Michael Martine.
It’s easy to over-analyze this and create gigantic super-lists of tasks that are numbingly detailed. I thought for a change I’d keep it short and sweet:
- Write a post that explains why you started the blog, what the blog is going to be about, and where you see it going.
- Get rid of the “hello world” post.
- Get the maintenance mode plugin if you don’t want anyone to see your baby blog getting built.
- Write at least one definitive post for each category of your blog.
- Get some analytics going. I use Google Analytics, but there are tons of others.
- Make announcements via email/forums/social networks (don’t spam people, duh).
- Look for ways to get feedback and reviews on forums or from other bloggers (review “exchanges” between you and other bloggers are great for this and build traffic, too).
- Claim your blog on Technorati.
- Add your blog’s URL to your social network profile pages and forum signatures.
- Comment like crazy on related blogs — especially the top blogs.
