05 Mar 10 Blog with a Friendly Face – Part 11
This is the last post of the series, and in this part I will talk about how you can sound all knowledgeable to your readers by being on top of the news and by writing resource posts plus one more.
Set Alert in place
Set Google Alert, Twist (for twitter), and Blogscape (for blogs) for the keywords you are targeting, and be on top of the updates in your niche. You can then capitalize on the recent happenings and tell your readers how they can profit from it. By being top of the news, you will sound knowledgeable and will be regarded as an expert in your niche.
Write a resource post
A resource post is a must-have for any blog. It gives your users a reason to bookmark your page. A well-written resource post has an ability to pull visitors again and again to your blog. It is also very much digg-friendly. You need to have as many resource posts as you can think of.
Write quality guest posts
Guest posts are new black for blogging. Write quality guest posts, and while writing them you goal should not only be to get published on the blog of your choice, but also to lure the readers to your own blog. This could only happen if you write quality guest posts.
With this our 11-post long discussion on making your blog stand out from the crowd comes to an end. And I hope, you enjoyed the series, and worked on the bite-size tips shared in this post.

26 Feb 10 Blog with a Friendly Face – Part 9
A blog is considered a friend not only because it shares information with us, but because it shares it in a way that touches us personally. Like a friend, a good blog entertains us while telling us things that matter. It also cares for what we think and how we want it to behave with us. This is the theme for today’s post. Let’s begin exploring it.
Consistency is the key
Be consistent with what you write and what you support. Very few people can stand talking to a person who keeps on hopping from here to there, saying this and that, supporting him as well as him, and you will not like those very few people be part of your audience. Be consistence. Be true to your core, and say only what you mean.
Be the beacon and guide people
Do not hesitate in sharing your expertise with your audience. Share with them the knowledge you have acquired on the way to reaching here. They are going to like it. Write insightful posts, share things that matters to all. Be prolific. Write with grit. Write with gusto. Write for fun, and write to teach.
Picture gives the cue
Why a novel has a cover image or a blog post has a theme picture? Well to explain what the post is all about. Do not just use any picture, use the one that goes with the message you want to convey in the blog post. This will help you build rapport with your audience.
As they say it, picture speaks a thousand words.
I hope you have started to give shape to your blog in the light of what is being taught here. Share your link here, let’s see what you got. Waiting to hear from you.

21 Feb 10 Blog with a Friendly Face – Part 8
Be honest, if you want people to talk to you, and befriend with you. This is an age-old advice given by people. This works for blogging as well, and that is the theme of today’s blog post.
Stand firm, so what it means creating controversy
If you reasonably think something said on the Internet is against what you and your friends (readers) believed in then stand as a wall to fend for your believe system, so what it means starting a controversy. Never give up fearing of controversy.
Help others and they will recognize it
We have been told this every day, and we even adhered to that, then why do not we take that principle and apply that to the online world? Help people solve their problems using your expertise. Go to the forums where you can add value and find problems and show the solution. This will establish you as an expert in the field, and your blog as an authoritative source. You will be highly rewarded for helping people out.
Talk to people commenting on your blog
I know quite a few bloggers who ask users to post a comment, but when it is done they do not reciprocate. This is not a good thing. It is like a guest is coming to your house, and instead of entertaining your guest, you are busy playing Facebook games. How good a host will you be, if you do so? Be a good host and reply all the revenant comments and carry the discussion on.
These are some of the things you need to do regularly. These by no stretch of imagination are a one-time activities. Make a calendar and follow the schedule. In time, you will see the return on the investment.
