(Hint: Use this platform that you are on, Kalatu, and experience all the cool built-in features to help your blog posts get noticed by the search engines!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Not every blog post<\/strong> will make it to the <strong>first page of the search engines<\/strong>.\u00a0 Blogging daily gives you a greater level of being seen by the search engines and also by your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong><span>Ask yourself this question:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Did you blog today?\u00a0 Why not?!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<span><strong><span><span>5<\/span>-Share Your Blog Post With Your List<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Every online marketer, small business owner or entrepreneur should be building an email list<\/strong>.\u00a0 Your blog provide many ways to ask your visitor to subscribe to your list.\u00a0 Even if you only have 5 people on your list, get in the habit of emailing each time you publish your blog post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Ask yourself this question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Did you email your list after publishing your blog post?<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span><strong><span><span>6<\/span>-Respond To All Comments<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>This is another area<\/strong> that online marketers, small business owners and entrepreneurs fall short.\u00a0 Taking the time to respond to your readers\u2019 comments is essential.\u00a0 Why?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It builds a solid connection and grows the relationship with your reader.\u00a0 <strong>When you engage with your blogging visitor<\/strong> after they spent time on your blog and left a comment, respond to them quickly and even click on over to their blog, taking time to leave a comment and share their post as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Showing your audience<\/strong> that you care and are interested in them, will only enhance your connection and build trust which in turn develops paying customers!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Ask yourself these questions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Did you respond to all the comments on your blog posts?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Did you visit your readers blog and comment on one of their posts?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Was your comment engaging enough to show your interest?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span><strong><span>7<\/span>-Include an Opt-In On Every Page<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>You want more success with your online business?<\/strong>\u00a0 Then you must continually <strong>build your list<\/strong>, having an opt-in form is important.\u00a0 The more blogging that you do, more people will be visiting your blog on a daily basis.\u00a0 You want the opportunity to ask for their email address in return for maybe a free PDF or video.\u00a0 (See my blog post about <strong>8 Point Lead Magnet Checklist<\/strong>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Make sure you have an opt-in box<\/strong> or banner on every page of your blog.\u00a0 This platform, Kalatu, has a cool built-in widget that does this for you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong><span>Ask yourself this

Include A Call To Action<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><strong>Duh!<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 But you would be surprised how many online marketers and entrepreneurs <strong>forget to ask the reader<\/strong> to take an action on the blog post.\u00a0 Your call to action can be anything from asking them to leave a comment, questions, their thoughts about the topic you discussed, share the post on the social sites or you can ask them to visit a video or another blog post where they can learn more about your products, programs or services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Generally, you want to <strong>end each post with a call to action (CTA\u2019s)<\/strong>.\u00a0 And guess what?\u00a0 This platform you are on, <strong>Kalatu<\/strong>, has a built-in CTA that is easy for you to

you are building your list of subscribers, be sure to connect with them on a regular basis.\u00a0 Keeping in touch, sharing other valuable information with them and always reminding them to visit your blog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Invite them back<\/strong> and to also check out any webcasts, webinars or videos that may also be helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong><span>Ask yourself this
