The first question that most bloggers ask is, “What do I want to write about?”. WRONG!  Successful bloggers ask, “What do my readers want to read about, what will get and keep their attention?” Once you answer that question you can begin to write.

Interesting and engaging content helps to establish you as an expert in your field.  If people see you as a trusted source you will become their “go to” person when they need help.  And if people like what you have to say they will recommend you to their friends!  Not only is that good for establishing relationships but it is good for your bottom line.

When writing your content always be sure to include your keywords somewhere in the post.  Make sure that you don’t over use them, 2 or 3 at most.  Otherwise Google may think that your are keyword stuffing.

Make sure that your keywords fit into the flow of your post.  They must fit logically and grammatically. Don’t just throw them in there so you have some keywords in the post.

It is also a good idea to bold one of them and maybe underline or italicize another one.  This will help Google (and the other search engines) notice them.

Good quality content with the proper use of your keywords will help move your blog higher up in the search engine ranking.

And what business doesn’t want that?

The Blog Builder Guy also wrote a post about finding content to write about.  You can read that here.  Where Do I Get Stuff to Write About?
