Being a new blogger is not as easy as I thought it would be. It’s just like writing for my college professors every thing has to be perfect. I thought it was going to be easy when I heard I only had to write between 200 and 300 words. I was like wow, no biggy. But after the first couple topics, I found it was very hard to come up with ideas you know a lot about and are easy to write on. Now, there is research involved and it can at times quite a while.

Also, I have trouble keeping up with the blogs. It’s hard to get myself to write them sometimes, and I know the deadline is around the corner but I just can’t bring myself to write. It’s like gah, I have this blog to do but I don’t have any ideas at the moment. I’ll just wait until later. This is not good, if you do this you have a very good chance of missing your deadline.

I was so eager to blog in the first place because Mrs. McCord made it all look so easy. So, if you are interested in bloggers, McCord Web Services has three levels of service Pearl, Topaz, and Diamond. If you want to learn more about these services check out their website.

My blog team has just started posting on this new blog and I wanted to share it with you today.

Cremation Options Blog

This brand new blog is being written for search engine placement purposes in an effort to try to boost organic placement on cremation keywords. Although the focus is about organic placement on the client’s end, our writing is information and interesting. Even if you don’t have a special pre-planning need for a cremation, you may still want to click in to check out the posts and quality of writing.

There is just about no topic that our writers cannot blog on. Well, we have found a few to be honest, but most topics we can put an appropriate positive spin on with excellent creative writing that will create great content for readers and search engines.

We blog for search engines and for increasing readership. Why do you blog? There are many good reasons to blog and I will certainly tell you some of them in this post, but aggressive lead generation is not one of them.

I consider blogging a soft-selling medium. Blogging allows you to share information with readers and develop authority on your topic in their eyes. I have never used blogging as a lead generation medium per-say, because truthfully that is simply not what blogging is about. Blogging is about conversation, sharing knowledge, and search engines. Hit your readers with a marketing message post after post and you will lose readers.

I have gotten clients from my blog, but usually after they have followed me for a time, feel comfortable with my proficiency in a specific area, and valued my knowledge, never because of one post I have written.

These are my top reasons for blogging:

1. Build content for search engines.
2. Create “Web Authority” for search engines and readers.
3. Build keyword density on specific searchable topics that act as entries to my blog feeding to my website.
4. To share knowledge with others.
5. To build website traffic.
6. To keep my website visitors on my website longer.
7. Identify areas of strong interest with my readers which may be good avenues for new white papers and services.
8. Create interactive conversation with visitors.
9. To learn something new every day in my field.
10. To highlight websites, blogs, software, and tips that I feel are helpful to others and are beneficial.

So why do you blog? Just click comments and let me know.
