I write to write.

...that is not to say that I don’t care about the reader; obviously I’d love my words to be read (if not adored) by the reader and at least to have value to the reader. But I don’t focus on building a blog simply to profit monetarily by it. Sure I teach others to add elements such as AdSense, Amazon and other affiliate links, use search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to get people to know your blog is in existence so they visit in the first place and then watch the money start to come to them, however slowly at first. But again I remind all: “Do what you love, and the money will follow”. In all of my time in “sales”, and we are all involved in sales in one way or another, I’ve always tried to put the customer first and got my thoughts of my commission “out of the way, and out of my mind”. When I have a good (repeat) customer, my commissions and needs are met.

Also read, read, read. Many of my ideas come to me when I meld minds with other authors. Usually for me it’s from a book from my regular “quiet time” collection I read from every morning with my tall cup of coffee companion. Today was no exception.

I was reading about SEO and was reminded of 3 things to ask visitors to your site or store. (Remember that as the Bricks to Clicks Marketing Consultant, I work with business owners both offline and online; the two must work together). I then took these 3 points and added my own twist and take on them using my thoughts, and knowledge gleaned from my experiences.

I just shared another blog technique. I’m writing to you here at this blog and told you about another blog, using it as an example. Pretty cool, huh? For those readers who click and visit that blog, they will be rewarded with good content that has value that will help them and their business improve and it will also reward me with favorable search engine link rankings.

Think of your reader and offer great content but don’t be concerned if you don’t have an audience or earning AdSense dollars at first. All will come in time. Just write regularly in your blog, and dear reader, write to write.
