Here’s a guide on the most important to-do’s to increase your presence online and developing a digital ubiquity.
Link your social media accounts
This makes it easier for your followers on one platform to connect with you on other platforms. In case, they miss out the update on one platform, they would still receive it on others. Tastes differ and so do people especially the social media platforms that they are comfortable with, it is thus necessary to make sure everyone gets your blog updates. Linking your social media profiles will make sure that your blog sells on all platforms. One important factor to note is that linking your accounts will mean giving up your privacy. It is always best to maintain different personal and professional accounts on social media.
Word Power
While linking gets everyone in the loop, your content is what makes them stay. An account on Google Keywords Planner and Analytics will help enhance your content in order for it to sell faster. Using the right keywords puts your blog posts in the right places (1st page of Google and Bing searches)
Simple titles
Your title is not the place to showcase your extensive vocabulary. Your title is what people search for in the search box, using simple words will thus bring your posts to the front. Not complicating your title is the key.
Keeping the blog user-friendly and as interactive as possible will bring people back. Overloading the blog with all your preferences will only do the opposite for you. Thinking from the user point of view is important to raise your blog above the rest.
Tools to help you through
Search Engine Optimization is a key strategy that you need to pay attention to while creating a blog. If people can’t find your blog, no matter how better your blog is compared to others, it will never appear on the first page. We must remember that Google is not your English teacher to rank articles based on how rich your vocab is, it displays results based on keywords.
One thing that annoys people is slow internet and slow loading, your blogs must be able to work best in the former and avoid the latter. Google Page Slow Insights is a tool that helps you measure the user experience and recommends fixes wherever required. Quick Sprout Web Analyzer is a tool that gives a full analysis of your website from shares to traffic. SEO Site Checkup is another tool that performs complete analyses and also recommends fixes. Google offers a wide range of free tools that will give you the best data. Using these tools is essential to make sure your posts reach the audience.
Conclusion
The blog must reflect your idea in the simplest and most dignified way possible. Working with the tools is as essential as creating the content as the content must be carried across the world. Happy Blogging! Hope you like the article. Do share it on social media if its worth.
