Developing a successful blogging website is like taking a chainsaw to your competitors rankings, it just leaves them in tatters and you on top.

The key to killer execution of blogging is knowing your subject area, but that’s easy for you right? you work in it all day long, you read the publications and stay on-top of industry news, well that’s all you need to do, spend 15 to 30 mins a day reading and absorbing.

With that in place you’re well set to become blogging superstar in your niche.

There are two methods to writing a blog post: plan and execute or the “free write” for years I have been a plan and execute kind of guy, its reliable, you produce good articles full of content that ticks the boxes. But now I turbo charge with the “free write” method.  I set a topic and bang, I write for 10mins solid, just empty your brain into the keyboard, no editing allowed, don’t even look at what your typing.

Then just go back the next day and edit it up, go through and edit the title, content etc keeping in mind my SEO keywords and Key-phrases that you are targeting. But don’t kill the article it has to read well, readability trumps SEO every time.

Give it a go and it will blow you away, no skills required.

You do, however, need inspiration and topics, that is the hardest thing of all, for this just check out blogs RSS feeds and industry forums, what is hot in your field? Write about that, this will keep your blog fresh and relevant, you can also then jump into conversations and drive people to your blog article. SEO and Active traffic in one shot.

So you have written and edited your first article – now its time to rock the SEO to the max!

Upload it to your blogging system of choice, more on that in other articles. If your going to rip it up you need to get maximum exposure for your content. So publish then promote, push it out through social media outlets such as ; facebook, twitter,tumbler, Q&A, digg, stumble upon and squidoooo, etc and send it out via email to your subscribers whilst your at it.

You will be building interest and building back links, and why not film a short video on it and upload it to youtube channel, you can use that on your site too, its going to be great.  You are creating mountains of content in an easy way with very little effort.

Now when you publish its critical that have anchor text for your links that are your keywords and keyphrases, don’t be a chump and link on click here, link on your keywords.

Its also a great idea to go through the article and link “in context” keywords to the relevant section of your website.  If your using WordPress which I recommend then I would use SEO Smartlinks Plugins to help you with this, why work hard if you don’t have to.  This internal linking is little used SEO magic.

Now I also like to have a standard footer on all my blog content so that I know I have included keywords, tags and a call to action on my blog posting so anybody who stumble upon it can get drawn into my marketing funnel.  I do this by creating the standard footer in an HTML editor, this will include video, a sign up form etc etc, I then I keep that HTML code in word document, so when I am publishing I have it ready to go, just copy and past it in and publish hay presto.  You need to do this too.

Thanks for your time and now lets go blogging for cash.

P.S. I love it when people comment below and don’t forget to click the Google+ and Facebook Like Button.

We all know the importance of search engine optimisation (SEO) to almost anybody that has an internet presence for their business and wants to get business from it. The top 3 positions on google will get the vast majority of traffic and everybody else will be sharing out the dregs.

Most of us know the basics of SEO in order to get to the top of google:

• SEO friendly websites
• Keyword (or Keyphrase) selection
• On-page Optimisation
• Content – freshness, depth and quality
• backlinks

If you’re not so sure, you best be sure to subscribe to my blog on the form on this site.

But there is an increasing trend in SEO, particularly with Google, to take into account your social impact as well.

But what do we mean by social impact, well its the response, interest and interaction you and your brand get on the social media platforms. Be that facebook, twitter, stumble upon and digg and now the big new shiny object – Google+ (altogether now ooohhh)

Google (and no doubt others will follow the trend) is interested in your on page social impact, ie the number of people who click a Facebook like button on your page, or the number of people who tweet out your page or click your Google + button.

So for the first instance you need to make sure you have these functions built into your pages, or you don’t stand a chance of getting them pressed.

Key actions: put social media buttons on your site –

Top Tip, if you using wordpress (which I always recoment) you can get a plug-in called sociable that will automatically but the key buttons at the bottom (except google+, which you can put in a widget at the side of the page)

Now make sure you have the appropriate social media accounts, a Facebook Fanpage (its very easy to set up), your Google+ account and of course twitter, and make sure you connect it to your business contacts and customers. (you can import your contacts into them from outlook in most cases) and if you in a B2B business you need to have a LinkedIn account too.

Now why is Google+ so important?

Well its simple, if your surfing the internet and find a great site selling cool T-shirts and click the +1 button (a Google+ like), it will put the site onto your stream, which similar to Facebook newsfeed will promote the site to those people that are connected to you. However it does not end there, if later on one of your connections is searching for a t-shirt site, Google will know you +1′ed that site, know they are connected to you and so move that site up through the rankings on the search result, which is incredibly powerful, and guess what it does not end there. If a contact of your contact (who you are not linked to) independently searches for T-shirts the same powerful effect will take effect.

So the key is get that google+ button on your site and make sure you are linked to as many people as possible and click the +1 buttons on your own site.

So how do you get people to click your Google +1 button or Facebook like button.

Well its simple ask them to click on it, be bold, be brazen and have a big arrow on your site that says please click our +1 or facebook like button. Research has shown that asking for it increases response by up to 600%

Now Get Social?

There is no escaping it you need to get social, get active on Facebook, Twitter, and Google + and if your business to business get on LinkedIn too – more strategies to follow that will help you tackle these social outlets.

YeeHawww its gona be a blast see you all down there.

• who are consultants and professional service providers
• who are willing to take simple, inexpensive action
• who are wanting to double or quadruple their profits in 6 to 18 months
• who are willing to earn more

My name is Damien Bové and I’m a business consultant who takes profit maximisation very seriously. I had to, when I started out I was only 27, had no financial resources, had Zero credibility in my marketplace, and was starting consultancy work through necessity.

Like many people I started consultancy because I been made redundant, but I was a lowly researcher in a large global corporate, I had no visibility with the client’s, and I had no track record of professional achievement being only 3 years out of university. But six years later, I run a highly successful consultancy practice in the pharmaceutical industry that provides me and my family with an excellent lifestyle, a beautiful home in the countryside, and great prospects moving forward.

I managed this because I am a student of business and marketing, and over the past six and half years I have developed a number of very simple and inexpensive processes that enabled me to generate a great deal of income, whilst providing fantastic value for my clients, and whilst maintaining a great quality of life for myself and my family.

I have a lot of friends in the world of consultancy, and many ask me how I’ve done it, how I manage it, so I started showing them. I mentor other consultants and professional service providers in profit maximisation, business growth, and marketing. But I have been frustrated by my limited capacity to help people. Hence I have put this site up so I can share the insights and processes of my system with as many people as possible.

But don’t just take my word for it fill in the form and start receiving the free videos and manuals that I will be releasing over the coming months that lays out how my system works and what it involves.

I am still a practising consultant, and I run  my own very successful consultancy practice, but due to the way that I run it, and how I have it set up to bring in new business, I am able to make time to do what I love most. Teaching people the systems of profit maximisation and business growth, and seeing their businesses go from strength to strength and their lives improve.

But don’t just take my word for it, listen to my clients have to say, I have recently been awarded Best Mentor, The Regional Development Agency said this about me at an awards evening. “ the time and dedication given by Damien to his mentees and others shows outstanding devotion… to which we would like to thank him by awarding him “Best Mentor”

When I started out I had very little money so my marketing strategies and business growth strategies had to rely on intelligence rather than buying power, and this is a philosophy I still hold true to today I spend very little on marketing and business growth other than time, and I will share this system with you. A system that enabled me to construct a website that brings in over £300,000 worth of business opportunities in a six week period, a system that attracts new leads that sign up to my newsletter at the rate of one a day. But a system that last year cost me less than £1000 in total marketing budget, including getting my site built and business cards printed.

So don’t delay sign up and let me help you transform your business and transform your life.

I just shot a short tutorial video that explains and demonstrates how it’s possible to build your own website using WordPress in around 2 min and with 4 clicks of the mouse. WordPress is increasingly powerful and common tool used to build websites, around 12% of all sites on the web are now constructed in WordPress its a proven technology. And many hosting packages offer inbuilt WordPress it just needs switching on.

This video is to demonstrate just how quickly you can switch it on, and have a website up and running. It’s perfect for non-technical people who just want to get website up without spending a lot of money.

Later videos will show you how to choose a theme and adapt the WordPress site etc but thats fairly straightforward.  What most people get scared about is the install process and I’m here to show you it’s so easy.
