Guest Expert: Jo-Anne Vandermeulen<\/a><\/p>\n

With age comes wisdom\u2026but, not when we\u2019re talking about blogging.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t take years to become an expert blogger. You can *conquer all obstacles<\/strong>* and become a professional as early as\u2026tomorrow. Yes, I said tomorrow. To become a blogging expert, all you need to do is:<\/p>\n

– \u00a0 \u00a0Define Your Niche<\/strong> \u2013 Mental blocks will be unheard of. Never will you tire for what you\u2019re passionate about. Mental juices will flow. The articles will ring true\u2014with an honest voice. The reader will devour your post.<\/p>\n

– \u00a0 \u00a0Carefully Proof-Read<\/strong> – Checking for the usual punctuation and grammar is a given. Beginners can ask someone to look over their article. Swapping articles\u2014having a critique partner is an excellent idea.<\/p>\n

– \u00a0 \u00a0Content Must Give<\/strong> – Producing valuable content will attract new readers and have viewers coming back for more.<\/p>\n

Now you\u2019re ready to attract a LARGE NUMBER OF READERS<\/strong>, but the competition is fierce. Tons of blogs are out in the Internet.<\/p>\n

FACT: \u201cThe Internet is a vast wasteland of thoughts and ideas. According to Technorati, someone creates a new blog<\/a> every 1.4 seconds. If blogging was a crime, and in some cases it very much should be, it would be the number one source of criminal activity in the land.<\/strong>\u201d – Adam Brown, FreeLanceSwitch Site, 01\/07\/09<\/p>\n

A lot of these blogs are filled with valuable content\u2026.so how does a blogger stand out from the rest?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before pushing the submit button, to have your post published, ask yourself these questions:<\/p>\n

1.) Who are my readers? <\/strong>My words and expressions are going to be different depending on my audience. A title for a majority \u2018male\u2019 audience will likely be different than if targeted for a \u2018female\u2019 audience.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/div>\n

Male \u2013 Sex, Battle
\nFemale \u2013 Love, Solve<\/p>\n

*Can you think of other words that are used depending on the gender use?
\nEven think about the audience\u2019s age. If I\u2019m writing for my daughters, my style will be a lot different than if I\u2019m posting for a senior-age audience.<\/p>\n

*Check the Feedburner, stats, and now Facebook Fan Pages even gives the author a complete profile of whether their audience is male or female, ages, geographical locations, and the number of views over the week.
\nIf I\u2019m not happy with the facts, then it\u2019s time to change my vocabulary and style.<\/p>\n

2.) Am I writing for my viewers or am I hung-up on the Search Engine stats?<\/strong> Check the title\u2014 Every now and then I\u2019ll write an eye catching title rather than words only termed with key phrases.<\/p>\n

LOL\u2026I\u2019m still getting comments from the post titled \u2013 \u201cWho Likes To Get Naked?<\/span><\/a>\u201d<\/strong>. I\u2019m pretty sure the search engines didn\u2019t pick this title up, but I sure attracted the readers.<\/p>\n

Whereas, the title: \u201c8 Tips To Successful Blogging<\/span><\/a>\u201d<\/strong> was successfully picked up by the webcrawlers but would have easily been skimmed by those uninterested in improving their blogging skills.<\/p>\n

3.)What is the main purpose for my blog?<\/strong> I must be honest with myself, and clear to my audience. I create the title and article to reflect my purpose. Whether I\u2019ve decided my posts are for interaction, to help or inspire others, build friendships, or sell products, I have to keep my promise by staying on task and resolving the questions before the end of each article.<\/p>\n

You can *conquer all obstacles<\/strong>* and become an expert blogger, but you have to follow some guidelines that have proven successful when publishing posts. There are many blogs that supply tips and techniques to assist bloggers to become stronger. Research and read what has worked for other experts. Toss that fear out the window, write the posts, and then check the stats\u2026you never know\u2026a new vocabulary and style of writing may be a better way to go\u2026and the answer as to how YOU CAN BECOME AN EXPERT BLOGGER OVERNIGHT.<\/strong><\/p>\n
