Learn to build an audience that keeps coming back
In yesterday’s Mequoda Daily, we discussed how an Online Market Audit helps you discover the most relevant content for your buzz posts.
Using the audit will shine light on your competition, which allows you to form relationships with others in your market or serve the community with content that the competition has neglected.
However, the buzz post is not the only aspect of a blogger’s job. Although buzz posts help build an audience through social media efforts, they lack staying power, unlike the SEO blog post.
SEO blog posts, when optimized properly, will live within search engines much longer than buzz posts. The more inbound links and traffic they receive, the higher the page ranking will become. These posts will help develop a larger audience over a longer time period.
Email blog posts are at the core of monetizing your content. Informative editorial content with in-line text ads promoting aligned products will help you increase sales. The editorial content should crystallize the value in the associated product so your audience members can’t refuse the offer.
These three blog types are only successful if you know how to properly use them.

Blog posts within an editorial calendar
The publishing frequency of your content will depend on the competition in your market and the size of your staff. For all serious publications, we recommend a daily publishing schedule.
Each day at the Mequoda Daily, we publish an email blog post – which is also sent directly to our editorial email list – at least one SEO blog post and one buzz post.
We promote all of our articles through Twitter as soon as they publish.
Additionally, we curate articles from SIPAlert Daily and publish additional SEO blog posts when possible.
