What would someone type into Google if they were searching about what I write about?
Now bear in mind that there are folks that make their living trying to figure out how to get companies and people in front of you, so just asking these questions and coming up with keywords and key phrases isn’t a magic formula by any means. But this lady got my attention with one simple statement that every would-be blogger has to figure out for themselves:
“If you want engagement (likes, comments, and subscribers), then target narrow and specific keyword phrases. If you want traffic (views and visitors), then target broad and generic keyword phrases. Don’t expect much engagement if you go for traffic, unless there isvery little competition in the space.”
And don’t forget that this blog is a public one – you aren’t going to control what is seen/read or how it is perceived – and think about what you are sharing. Discussing your work career may impact how current or future employers or fellow employees see you. Going on and on about virtual reality and alternate worlds may have some dismissing you as not founded in “real life”. Talking about M/s may identify you with that subculture.
So, why a blog? What do you have to say? And why should anyone read you?
