Coming up with high quality blog posts is NO JOKE
You have to get into the head of your visitors to give them what they want
You have to reverse engineer your competition's best content and come up with something that PUTS YOU AHEAD
You probably already know this but the problem is....
Most bloggers stop here.
They got a TIGHT headline. They have a very informative and solid post. They post a snippet to their social media accounts.
They think they're done.
NOPE.
Not by a long shot.
Unless you're in a niche that requires FREQUENT updates, you're better off POSTING less but... MILKING as much value out of your posts as possible.
How?
Make several quote pictures that involve issues raised by your content.
Share those on Twitter with the right niche-focused hashtags
Share them with other Twitter users you know shared similar content in the past (use Topsy to figure out who)
Share the pics on your FB Fan page's wall with the right hashtags
Login as your FB fan page and share on the wall of other niche-related pages you're cool with (make sure the response is RELEVANT or else you're just spamming)
The best part?
You can come up with several pics PER blog post because I'm sure there are at least several SUB-POINTS in your post. Always link to your post and site.
Turn each of the Sub-points into a POWERPOINT presentation and upload (using your target keywords as tags) on slideshare and other doc sharing sites. Link to your post and site.
Turn parts of your posts into Video scripts and create a quick narrated powerpoint video and upload to video sites. Tag using your target keywords. Link to your post and site.
Mention (but don't link) your post on highly targeted blog comments
With only 1 hour per day, you can EXPLODE the reach of your blog posts.
Don't fall for the trap of "PUBLISH AND WAIT"....
The viewers are not going to come.
You have to get out there and CHASE them.
