Be a Consistent Blogger

Consistency is the name of the game.  Once you have found your target market using the perfect niche, you must be consistent.  As routine as the daily paper, or checking your facebook page you have to be consistent.  Consistency does not mean boring but it does mean that you are focusing on content, finding new ways to present it and capturing your readers attention.  Giving great information to the point they have to come back to get your expertise on the topic.

My major problem is this very thing.  The fact that I am so random sometimes kills traffic to my blog.  Consistency in ONE area is important.  I love everything and through my experiences in life I have great insight on several areas.  That isn't a problem if you are blogging for the sake of blogging.  However if you are blogging to make residual income that is not going to suffice.

What you need to do, find a topic that you can talk about in your sleep.  You know all about it.  In and out up and down.  A topic that would have your audience wondering if you were the actual inventor of the niche.  Grab it and run with it.  DO NOT mimic what is obviously already being done in that niche.  Take a minute and put your own spin on it.  Just because there are billions of blogs on fashion bring your own eye, opinion and review of the thing.  Remember you have your own audience and it's not the same as the next blogger.

Find your rhythm.  That simply means find the day or time that blogging can be done.  When are you at your most creative.  If writing in the morning is when all your creative juices flow then do it then.  In the beginning you may want it to be daily or even twice a day.  As you begin to get a following you may want to do it 2 times a week, or weekly.  Trust me there will always be something to talk about if it's your passion.  No matter what angle blog about it.  I know this seems elementary but the truth is some of us write fervently for the first month, then give up a 3 months in because we don't have a following.  Don't expect to get a following even with an awesome routine at least for 1 year and I would say anything shorter you have an actual celebrity guru in with you. 

All in all be consistent.  The more you write the more often your name will hit the wonderful world of Google.  I

 

What's Your "Niche Market"

I have got to be honest.  In the beginning I did not understand the whole idea behind blogging.  What I did know are two things, one that you have to at least enjoy writing and two know something about blogging. What I didn't know was there is actually a formula to how successful you can be at the two.  This formula presented itself kind of like a secret.  The thing that everyone kept talking about but never fully explained it thoroughly enough to make the little men in my head put it together.  What was the secret? "a niche market".

Did I even need one? couldn't I just write a series of journal entries on my day to day life, post them and call it a day?  The answer, yes, you could.  You could write random blogs of your thought and daily routine.  You can post to the masses how hideous your hair was, how your dog Bubbles, ruined and embarrassed you on your date and how the color you picked for your room makes you feel all bubbly inside.  You can do this and it would be the cheapest venting therapy you ever had because quite frankly unless you're an A-list actress I doubt anyone would care.  Trust me I did this and from experience it did not yield the results in terms of traffic that I was looking for.  In fact many of us did this and it was fulfilling.  The excitement of just putting it ALL out there is
exhilarating and empowering and as exciting as it was it goes away.

Time went on.  Before long I began to desire responses to my day.  Insight to my writings and quite honestly some Mullah for my efforts.  Between the two bloggers I found myself becoming the latter so a "Niche market" quickly became a focus of interest.  As fulfilling as my first blog is which today I use to inspire, encourage and motivate new desires began to arise.  So what exactly should my focus be? is what I had to ask myself.  Well after scrolling and listening to all the guru's and fancy pants explain in the most technological way I have reduced it to my understanding to mean:  a focus, an interest or topic that is studied and then shared based on your knowledge, skill, interest or experience in the area.  A good old fashion hobby of interest.  For example a niche focuses on the components back to the very inception.  The "niche" is what guru bloggers use to keep there audiences attention.

My niche is quite simple...I Love trying new things!  Now as you might have thought there are millions of new things out there!  But I decided that, that is MY NICHE Market.  I may focus heavily on one area versus another but new stuff is my love.  Life everyday gives a brand new 24 hrs so my niche market deserves to be refreshed just as much.  So when you want to know how a new product REALLY works ask me, heard about a new restaurant tucked away I'm your girl.  Have a new product that YOU yourself have created and want an honest review I'm your guinea pig.  So sign up check in and let me know what new ideas you have welcomed into your life.

My Blog On Life

I was very surprised to find that so many people displaying such awesome talents.  I'm sure you have ran into one of them, after all there are a million blogs out there?  There are even several that hold a very similar name to mine "Joyfullexpressions"!  Crocheting colored scarves and hat's,  providing up to date top of the minute fashion trends and my favorite the baker's blog, with all their intricate details that they single handily carve into these elaborate masterpieces.  These blogger's have settled into their niche and they OWN them.

That brings me to my blog.  I absolutely LOVE LIFE! I LOVE LIFE! I know that I said that already but I really love it and I love to write about it.  This is to apologize for my lack of a niche My blog won't be consistent.  It won't settle into "A" niche.  It will be the best blog about life.  I will blog about my ups, my achievements, my promotions and my fantasies.  I'll blog about my loves, my passions and how I have been crushed and abandoned and hurt and miserable all in the same breath.

My BLOG will be about LIFE and how I plan to embrace it, how I feel, what I hate and how stupid of a boss I have. Life will be my niche.  I mean everyone else has already settled into a piece of it and since I still haven't seen all that life has to offer I'll have to invite you along on this journey.
