Learning SEO and and Maintaining Your Blog 

In Part 1 of this tutorial we covered the reasons why it is a good idea to set up a blog for learning SEO. In this Search Engine Optimization Tutorial we will cover what you can do to create and maintain a blog that incorporates the latest SEO trends.

People can get overwhelmed by the idea of setting up and maintaining a blog because they think they need to be a great writer or to be really creative.

If you are a poet or an author then that may be the case but for building an internet network marketing business online the goal is to have hot prospects find your relevant content.

Therefore you need to be thinking more about learning SEO and applying it with keywords than about creative content that might not be relevant.

Your writing skills will improve the more you get into the habit of posting on your blog and once you have some content up you can start to search for your keywords on google to see if you can find it. 

 It will all become very real to you then and you will understand how powerful a blog can be for getting your keywords listed quickly, and you will also see that google rewards relevance and good SEO rather than creative writing!

Here Are My 5 Top Tips for Creating Good Content for Your Blog

1. Plan your article before you start. Have an introduction, a body and an end so you know what your summary will be and you don’t ramble on.
2. Select some good keywords that you have researched with a keyword tool and focus on sprinkling them throughout your article where relevant.
3. Start with short articles. 500 words are plenty and in today’s busy world many people simply don’t have time to read long articles anyway.
4. Spend some time looking at other blogs that are similar to what you want to achieve. You can’t copy but you can be inspired and learn a lot from observing others who are that bit ahead of you.
5. Always use a spell checker and read through your content with a clear head to make sure it makes sense.
