Is Your Blog a Ghost Town?

by Nancy Marmolejo on July 29, 2010

in profitable essence

So you’ve got a spiffy new blog set up… and then your heart sinks because nobody seems to care.

An SEO guru would tell you to do something with keywords to drive traffic. A designer would have you change your layout. Someone else might suggest you do more with video.

And all of those could have dramatic results… but what do you do when those tactics don’t work?

Could it be something more?

What I find missing, more often than not, is a sense of knowing why you’re there.

What purpose does your blog serve?

Who is it for?

How does it play an essential role in the lives and businesses of your ideal clients?

How far are you willing to go to make your blog engaging?

How will you personally get out there and drum up interest?

What You Need

If your blog is a ghost town, then something’s not working. It turns from a great marketing idea to a waste of time.

For your blog to be successful, of course you want to have a great layout and use keywords for search engine optimization. But you also need to have great marketing that includes an emotional hook. You need to exude confidence and know that your information is amazing and valuable.

No matter how many bells and whistles you have, without a strong sense of knowing exactly why you’re there, what you have to offer, and why YOUR offer is perfect for your readers… then you’ll stay invisible.

(These are some of the core principles I teach in my program Discover Your Profitable Essence - starts August 18)

So go look at your blog… what can you do to add a stronger sense of confidence?

How can you showcase your expertise better?

What changes do you need to make in the way you market it?
