Create a Successful Rap
Music Blog in 10 Steps
|
|
Blogs prove to be a tricky field to conquer, especially when
it comes to gaining an initial reader-base. However, once
you get that reader base, blogs show an increase in
musician’s reputation online. Successful blogs keep their
status by following these 10 rules from the start and
throughout their blog’s lifetime. |
1. Focus the Topic
Thousands of different blogs exist on the web and only
the well-established ones can post general news and see
success. Writing about rap music just because you are a
rap artist is not a good blogging technique. Instead,
focus on a blog about Atlanta rap or some other niche.
The more narrow the subject, the more likely you will
get a steady reader base.
2. Search similar Blogs and Subscribe
Because there are so many blogs on the internet, chances
are somebody, somewhere will also be talking about your
subject. Find these sites and subscribe to them so you
get instant updates. The best action to take is to read
up on these blogs and know what they talk about
regularly.
3. Create Business Relationships
By helping
out someone else and their blog in some way, they will
in return help you and your blog out. One good example
is devising a list of online rap radio stations you can
submit your music to and give them the list so they can
use it for their benefit as well. By becoming business
friends, you can promote each other by talking about one
another’s webpage, music, blog, etc.
4. Make quality content
Just writing a blog is not enough. You have to make sure
what you are writing is good content. No one will
comment or read your blog if the content seems worthless
and poorly written. Also, write grammatically.
Misspellings are one of the most painful things to
witness in blogs (like substituting you with u).
5. Work on the Title
The title is a necessity. The first thing people look at
and what makes them read your blog is the title. Titles
that hint of content with lists and bullets also draw
people in due to the pleasing layout and more white
space of lists. If the title perks their interest, they
will click on your blog to continue reading. Take the
time to think about an interesting title and log which
titles draw more readers.
6. Submit to Directories
After creating a good content-and-keyword-rich blog,
submit it to different directories. Top Blog Area and
BlogFlux are two good sites to submit blogs to according
to category of blog. Another option is to write just one
blog for an established blogging site in the rap music
industry and tell them why they should feature your blog
on their site. If they choose to put the blog on their
site, you will see greatly increased traffic.
