We had some really severe storms last night AND the power

was off for about four hours. Unseasonably, though NICE

cool weather is sure to stir up the storm fronts.

 

All is well here now, beautiful day AND my roof, that

has been leaking again occasionally, blessedly did NOT

this time. Guess it depends on how the wind blows.

How to Establish Your Niche in the Blogging Community

 

by guest writer, Sharon McPherson of JanRon Publishing

 

Because there are so many blogs on the internet it can be tough

to distinguish yours from all of the others. So whether you are

starting a new blog aimed at a particular target market, or

looking to make your existing blog more distinctive, the key

to building and maintaining a site that will capture the

interest and attention of the blogging community is

finding your niche.

 

If you can fill a unique need in a way that nobody else does,

you'll be able to build a lasting readership among blog surfers.

Once you've discovered a niche, you'll still have a lot to do,

but finding your place in the blogosphere is the place to begin.

 

Every successful blog starts with a great idea. But to make

your blog stand out from the pack, you will need to offer

something that no one else is currently offering, or you

can do the same thing that an already popular blogger does

- but in a more impressive way.

 

One way to discover an ideal model for your blog is to look

at blogs that have already successfully captured an audience

in your niche to determine if you can appropriate some of

their strategies to help realize your vision. Of course,

you will also need to add a unique flair to your project

in order to stand apart from your competition.

 

Many people agree that the blogs that do the best in today's

market are those that have the most personality. The fiercely

individual surfers who are blog readers are a demographic

that responds strongly to personality, so consider how you

can give your blog a unique and attractive feel by lending

your own voice and sensibility to your blog's design

and content.

 

Once you have an idea for your blog, have pinpointed

a special niche that you are well equipped to fill,

and have infused the site with personality, the next

step is figuring out how to get the word out to readers.

 

In the long run, a great idea just isn't enough to propel

your blog to success. You will need to draft a smart and

realistic marketing plan in order to draw readers to your

site. Once you hook a reader, your frequently updated

content will keep them coming back, but it is vital to

get that first glance or your blog won't have

a chance to shine.

 

 

To Your Blogging Success,

If you have made mistakes ...there is always another chance

for you ... you may have a fresh start any moment you choose,

for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down,

but the staying down.
