What’s Your Blogging Plan in Uncertain Times?

Can’t see the video? Watch it on the blog.

So… do you have a plan for your blog? Is it a plan that you can carry out even in the face of uncertain economic times? Something to think about.

No matter what your plan is, I cannot imagine that less blog traffic is part of it. More traffic means a stronger community and greater reach and influence. If you make money from your blog directly or are marketing a business through your blog, more traffic simply means more money in a very it’s-all-about-the-numbers kind of way.

It all begins with content, then SEO, then traffic, then conversion.

    Hi Michael. I love the look of your blog and the content you provide. I’m currently working on getting my blog set up and going over at my Dead Sea Cosmetics store and have found this site very helpful.

    Thanks again

    @Andrea – If we have a good long-term plan for your blog, we can do better than hope. If you haven’t crafted a plan, I highly recommend it. I will post more on this soon.
