Blogging is serious business—at least it can be. There are people who use their blogs as online portfolios to showcase their work, people who use blogs as tools for political activism and people who use the blogs as a way to make a living.
However you use your blog, it’s important that your content is engaging, thought-provoking and above all, well-written.
The best blogs have great content, and great content should be your top priority. Finding the strengths and weaknesses in your writing can be tough. It’s hard to be objective about your own writing, and it can be even harder to find flaws in pieces that you’re passionate about.

Of late, owning a website or blog is not simple or easier compared to how it was a few years back. Previously a good and attractive design of a ‘*.com’ domain caught attention easily. Webmaster neither had a need to prove its quality nor demonstrate the reason for providing solution to everyday problems.
Blogging, today has invaded greatly into the field of networking. Bloggers are interested in building relationship with their visitors and budding customers. These days, the trend has changed such that visitors and customers are interested in knowing the person behind the blog before they read the content of it. The blogger has to interact and relate with the readers to meet their confidence or trust.
Being a blogger for the past few years and gaining experience, I have noticed some means that builds trustworthiness among the visitors. Some of them are very easy to be implemented whereas some others require effort and time.

Blogs are like journals where we could express and share our thoughts with people. But these have come a long way from its humble beginnings and have now become one of the most effective marketing strategies available.

There she sits at her computer wondering why there’s been no sales in the last week. She checks her statistics. Sure enough! The traffic flow has increased. She’s been getting more visitors to her site, but why aren’t any of those visitors buying? She shrugs her shoulders and sighs…
“I guess it’s just impossible to earn a decent income online.”
If you’ve experienced this frustration yourself, you’re not alone. As we read many blogs, ebooks and reports on how to generate traffic, we’re often left clueless on how to convert those visitors into real sales. In the online business world it’s necessary to build trust. Our visitors cannot see us there behind our computers.
When they visit our site, they wonder, “Is this an honest site, or is there another scam artist behind the scenes?”
This is where content marketing must do its duty well. We need to take our visitors by the hand and lead them along by using our communication wisely to build credibility. The purpose of the content we share online should show that we have the product or service that can indeed be of true value to them.
People do buy from those they like and trust; however, they will NOT pull out their wallet unless they’re convinced that what you offer can really help them.
