Blogging is one of the easiest ways to market your business.
.
Which is more appealing to you? Which one would you want to stick around longer?
You blog is the perfect place to incorporate your business’s brand
Today I want to talk about 6 important areas of your blog
Let’s go from top to bottom in no special order.
1. Header
2. Navigation Bar
3. Posts
Start off with a headline that draws them in. Copyblogger is an excellent resource for learning how to master the art of writing headlines
4. Newsletter Opt-in Form
First, if you’re going to have an opt-in form it needs to be above the fold. That means that readers should be able to see it in your sidebar without having to scroll. Typically it’s at the very top of your right sidebar. NextLastly
5. Sidebar
Whatever you decide to include…social networking buttons, search bar, categories, ads, etc…keep it to a minimum. Everything should flow from one thing to the next. Most important at the top to least important at the bottom.
6. Footer
