Create a Successful Rap
Music Blog in Ten Steps
7. Get a friend to submit your blog to Digg, StumbleUpon, Technorati,
Netscape, and Reddit
These search sites generate a ton of traffic to your site if viewed
frequently (or “digged,” “thumbs up” “favored,” etc). However, people
view down on you if you constantly submit your own content to these
sites, so instead, make a buddy submit your blogs, videos, or podcasts
to these sites one or two times a week. Eventually, your good content
will make it to the homepage of these content-search sites, generating
an unimaginable amount of traffic to your blog.
8. Ping every Site
Some submission sites allow you to ‘ping’ them, which means they get an
automatic update when you post a new blog. This is good so they always
have your latest posts in their records. These sites also allow you to
put in key tag terms. By inputting a tag term, your blog will pop up if
someone searches for the term you used. For instance, if you are
writing about Yung Joc – Young Dro comparison (tag terms) and the
searcher inserts “Yung Joc Atlanta,” your blog will show as a result.
You must utilize pings and tags to increase your blog popularity.
9. Write regularly and stand out
The only way to gain a steady reader base is if you write a blog
regularly. The best blogs update their content daily or sometimes
several times a day. As an upcoming artist, though, weekly will suffice
if you write on a consistent day around the same time every week. In
addition, you need to stand out from other bloggers. Write properly, but
use your personality. Personality keeps the blog interesting and keeps
readers coming back. In addition, the readers like to be treated as
humans, so drop the business lingo. Blogs are for entertainment, so
engage your audience. Write for them.
10. Host your blog on your website domain
Using a different host for your blog not only confuses your readers, but
also reduces the amount of quality traffic to your site. The only smart
way to host a blog is through your own website. If readers like what
they read, or you mention something about your music in the blog, they
can easily navigate to your website to find out more information.
Creating a blog serves the purpose of promoting your music online, which
you can only do if you reader can easily access your website from your
blog.
