5 Reason Why Should Create A Blog

To be honest, my experience with blogging world is not much. I have my first blog in 2010, and it's not that kind of personal blog that people have in the beginning of blogging. My blog consist a several category mix between my favorite tv show post to some 3d tutorial. I even don't know what is niche mean. Until one day, a male blogger who lives in the same city as me, add me on Facebook. Yup, that time I spend most of my online time on playing Facebook  * grin *.

So we talk and he told me several points why people should start blogging. Along with my years experience, here's why:

1. Productive Time to Learn Something New.

How much time a day you spend online?. And doing what?. Most people I know in real life can spend 2 - 4 hours a day playing games online or add comment on ridiculous status or photos on Facebook. With that hours, if you start blogging, you will learn a lot of new thing. Either it's about coding, SEO, social media, or Internet marketing.

I like to learn something new, so these thing excited me. It need time to get used to edit HTML code and practice SEO, I'm not an expert yet, but I know more now. That's why I started this blog * grin *.

2. Sharing Knowledge.

You know what they say, sharing is caring right?. I started my first blog to give free  3d tutorial. People can spend hours to search topic on Internet. If you can provide the answer and information, why not help them. Soon your blog will grew and without you realize, you starting making money from it.

3. Jobs Opportunities.

Let's say if you in college or just finish, and love to writing. Doesn't matter what the topic is. You already running your blog for several months/years, and someone stumble to your blog, loves you writing, and want to hire you to writing staff for their media online. It's like dream job, right?.

Or if you're web designer, put your portfolio online and give graphic design/web design tips. This way you can get new potential clients.

4. Sell Your Own Artwork or Fiction.

For freelance artist or writer, having a blog, telling readers how the creative work process or give sneak peek is a good one way marketing. No need 3rd publisher. You're the publisher. With a little bit help of SEO trick, internet marketing, and social media, people can buy your artwork or novel directly from you.

5. Earning Money From Blogging.

Earning money from blogging is not a fairy tale anymore. It took a lot of work, but it can be done. I know some people who make massive income from blogging. They stop from their job and became full time blogger. Two famous way to do it is Google Adsense and affiliate marketing.

I haven't in that stage to stop my job though, but if I have I'll do it, no question about it. * smile *.

I probably missed a few points here, but if you read this post, please tell me on comments box below why you finally decide to have a blog. Together we can spread the virus of blogging!.

How To Add Social Media Share Button Below Post In Blogspot

Adding share button on your blog post will increase page views and readership. There are several style of placement you can use. My favorite is adding them under blog post. Those colorful button are fast and easy to search. For this gadget, I usually use Share This service. You don't have to add all of them. Just pick social media that you use the most or focus on.

If you like the social media button that I added under every blog post, I'll give you the code, just follow this easy blogspot tutorial for beginner:

1. Go to your blogger/blogspot LayOut, and click on Add Gadget.
2. Choose HTML/JavaScript gadget. Copy - paste code below on the gadget box:

<span id="st_finder"></span><script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/widget/stblogger2.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">var switchTo5x=false;stBlogger2.init("http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js", {"sharethis":["large","Email",""],"facebook":["large","Facebook",""],"twitter":["large","WordPress",""],"technorati":["large","Technorati",""],"tumblr":["large","Tumblr",""],"pinterest":["large","Pinterest",""],"stumbleupon":["large","Squidoo",""],"reddit":["large","Reddit",""],"digg":["large","Delicious",""],"linkedin":["large","LinkedIn",""],"googleplus":["large","Google +",""],"plusone":["large","Google +1",""],"fblike":["large","Facebook Like",""]} , "bl-6f6f3ce4-f6b6-7692-9d8d-55623b908a29");var f =document.getElementById("st_finder");var c = f.parentNode.parentNode.childNodes;for (i=0;i<c.length;i++) {try { c[i].style.display = "none"; } catch (err) {}}</script>

3. Now place the gadget wherever you want. The gadget always appear on the bottom of blog post, doesn't matter where you place them. But, don't place them between gadgets on sidebar, cos when people visit your page, there will be blank space. I usually adding them below blog post gadget or on the bottom of sidebar gadgets.

4. View Blog. Now you have it.

Now, just in case you don't like my social media selection, and want to add them yourselves, follow the steps below:

Analyze Your Competitor’s SEO Strategy

There are lots of competitor analysis methods, techniques and procedures out there because there are a lot of competitive marketplaces. This article covers SEO competitor analysis. You are competing for a position on the search engines, and would especially like to rank highly on the Google search engine results pages. Your competitors are of the same mindset, so here are a few ways you can learn from them and use what they are doing to your advantage.

Look at Their Website With SEO Eyes:

Be a SPY to Beat Your Competitors in Search Results 

Telling people to look at their competitor’s website in order to gain a bit of SEO insight is such a crap piece of advice that you see littered around the net. So, here is what you look for:

1. The Words That Are in Bold

They have been put in bold for the sake of the search engines. The search engines still key in on the words that are put into bold within the text of a website. It is an old trick that a lot of people now choose to ignore, but you will find that it is still applicable as your competitors are using it and they are ranking above you.

2. Look For The Words That Affiliate Advertising Has Keyed Into

Do your competitors have affiliate advertising? And if so, are one or two words in the text highlighted? Underlined? Or are anchor texts? If so then the page was no doubt created to hold those keywords.

3. Mirrored Words Throughout The Page

Take a look at that title, the URL, the anchor texts, and the content itself. Look for words that seem to appear in all of them or most of them. These are the keywords that your competitor is trying to optimize for.

4. Look At The Source Code of The Website

This is going to give you some very nice information and it can be found using a regular web browser. You just press CTRL+U and the source code will appear for the page that you are looking at. Now press CTRL+F and a small search bar will come up. Here is what you are searching for:

Keyword

It will highlight different things depending on how the page has been written. Some web designers may have made it easy on you and have a keywords Meta tag that is clearly defined; in which case a search for the word “keyword” will take you right to it. Look at all the occurrences of the word “keyword” as it will be close to the keywords for the web page.

Description

This may take you to a number of different places in the source code. You are looking for the Meta description. This piece of text will act as a good example for your worn Meta description, and you will notice that one or two of the mirrored keywords are in it too. You may also wish to optimize for those mirrored keywords.

H1 This will take you right to the H1 text. It should be a short phrase or sentence that is surrounded by the H1 tag. This tells the search engine that the phrase and words within are important. It makes inspiring reading when coming up with your own keyword profile and H1 text.

Word counters will show you their keywords

Find a good word and phrase counter online. Do not pay for one as most of them are free, just search out good ones. Copy the content of your competitor’s page and cut out any unnecessary text such as guarantees, disclaimers, sitemaps, etc. that may also be on the page. Paste the content into the word counter and see which words seem to appear with routine frequency.The important words that appear there are probably not on there by accident. They are probably there because the webmaster is optimizing the page for them. Use your frequency list to update your keyword list with new/important keywords. Then run the text through a phrase counter. You are looking for phrases of two or more words that have been repeated. Look to see if they appear to have repeated by accident. If they look suspiciously like key-phrases, then they probably are. You can steal them or write anti-SEO against them when you optimize your web pages.

Take a look at their ALT text

It is now common practice to embed a keyword or two into the ALT text of the web page images. Look at the descriptions within the ALT text of the images by looking at the source code, or hovering your mouse pointer over the image (this does not always work). If all else fails then go to your Internet options on your browser and turn off your image loading. Go back to your competitor’s website and all of the images on there will not load and you will be able to see all of the ALT text.

Conclusion

Once you have gathered enough information through the various means listed above, you can start to alter your ON-Page SEO to match and beat that of your competition.

You can create a keyword profile that is as full and varied as theirs. Plus, you are collaboratingthe keywords that you came up with, with all of the keywords that you have researched from your competitors. This will mean you will be able to narrow down your keyword profile to the most powerful and usable keywords. You will also be able to see what your competitors are trying to optimize for. If the competition is too harsh then you can go out of your way to optimize for something else by avoiding the keywords you discover on their websites.
