Start by choosing the most functional blogging platform available. I personally recommend that you use WordPress blog that is hosted with private hosting through a service such as HostGator (they allow unlimited blogs). WordPress is an open source platform that is highly customizable in appearance and functionality through the use of plugins. WordPress is also made very search engine friendly through the use of the “All In One SEO” plugin and the “Google XML” roidirectory plugin. Choose a theme that fits your style and personality. A good theme will also incorporate social media components for services like Facebook and Twitter.

Create content on a regular basis. No less than once per week and ideally 3-4 times per week. Your content, whether written or video should be keyword based for the greates search engine relevance. Keep your written content to approximately 400-700 words in length. Feel free to share not only helpful information, livewebdir but also share your thoughts and ideas as they help your readers get to know you on a more personal level.

Create a lead capture form for each post. With each post be sure to include an autoresponder response form. These are most effective with the use of some type of incentive. This may be a helpful report, huntingtime training video or some other offer of related content.

Each time you make a post to your blog broadcast that post to your social media pages. At the very minimum a notification of your new posts should be sent to Facebook and Twitter. There are plugins in WordPress that will automate this process for you. You will also want to utilize the sharing features of WordPress so that your readers can share your content with their social networks as well. In addition to your social media broadcast you will want to ping the major blog directories to notify them of your new content. This is best accomplished through services such as ping-o-matic and pingmyblog.
