If you are trying to make your living through Internet Marketing and finding the fight for your audience's attention difficult, try starting a blog (if you don't already have one). While we all know the importance of having a blog, but are we really doing things the way they have to be done? Are we focusing on the small but valuable aspects of blogging? Keep reading to learn some blogging lessons that will help you make sure you see a good return on your blogging efforts.

The essence of blogging is situated in how timely you are when you post your updates and the effort you put into creating fresh content on a consistent basis. The keyword here is to be consistent because it is a very important part of finding blogging success; if you don't put forth a consistent effort, then it is obvious that your readers are going to skip right over your blog and choose to subscribe to one that is updated more often. You should write at least five articles every week to ensure that your readers feel like they're getting real value from you. There is a reason that people choose to read blogs; it is to stay up to date on the topics they have the most interest in. The more work you put into ensuring the health and livelihood of your blog, the more return on it you will get.

You might have heard this one many times but try to be yourself on your blog. Don't try to be someone you are not because you will spoil all future opportunities to inject a little bit of yourself into your blog and it will be harder for your readers to trust you. Give your readers real reasons to trust you and it is important to let them see the real and true you. Being afraid of bringing out the real you will only stop you from experiencing success and will limit your reach, so be yourself and let it show in your content.

The blogging platform that you choose plays a big role in shaping your blog, both externally and internally, which is why you should use WordPress, because it's the best option for Internet marketers. The variety of plugins that you get with WordPress and many other things make WordPress the viable candidate for creating and running your blog; it also helps you SEO wise, which is an important factor. Of course, you still need to make sure that your blog stays simple and keeps to the point; don't make the mistake of using heavy themes; focus on the content you can deliver and not the design part of it.

If you look around you will see that almost all of the top IMers in the field have blogs of their own and post new content to them on a regular basis. Even total newbies would do well to create a clearly defined blog for themselves; it's too important a step to ignore. We've talked about a few very important lessons in this article, make sure you put them to work when you create your own blog. Overall, blogging really works well in tandem with most Internet Marketing endeavors so don't waste any time; start your own blog or use these lessons to start improving one that you've already set up.
