A tree and you
Posted by: | CommentsA tree and you
Picture a tree, any tree.
Trees are made up of the roots, a trunk, the branches and the leaves. Sometimes or during certain seasons, we might even have fruits on the tree. Every tree is unique and is conditioned to survive in the various locations where they are.
You
Your tree is huge. It can be anything you want it to be. But most importantly, it is a personification of what you represent.
The Roots
They serve as a source of life for the tree. Once planted, it begins to grow downwards first – the root finds its way down and begins to spread out, draw water and nutrients from the earth and give stability to it.
8 Keyword SEO Tips for Bloggers
Posted by: | CommentsDo you take Keyword SEO for your blog seriously?
Here are 8 Keyword SEO Tips that will help to improve your site’s ranking in the Search Engine Results.
KEYWORDS
1. Keywords in <title> tag
A most important factor for higher keyword ranking is to have it within the <title> tag. This tag is what shows up in the clickable link on the SERP (search engine results page). I have since learnt that what appears in the beginning is more important than what comes next.
Always put your Primary Keyword first. I recommend use of an indispensable Platinum SEO plugin to help you optimize your <title> without muddling up your theme code.

Blogging Lessons from Hip Hop Artistes
Posted by: | CommentsI like hiphop. I think it’s cool and the rappers are lyrical geniuses but that is not what this all about. Rather it is all about something these guys do that can be applied to your life and of course your blogging experience.
Most hip-hop artistes have different styles of doing their thing and if you listen hard enough, it gets to a point when you can distinguish them from another or identify who’s song you are listening to before you hear a second word.
Lesson 1: BE DISTINCT
Bloggers should be unique just has we all have different finger prints.
If someone looks at your blog or reads your posts at different times and thinks “Hmm, I have read something like that on xxx’s blog before” then I think we know who the copycat blogger is.
16 Steps To Becoming More Effective
Posted by: | Comments
1. Figure out what’s most important to you and let go of the rest if you cannot outsource them.
Use the Pareto principle. For instance, out of the ten things that you are to do, which top two will give 80% of the results? We shouldn’t take on everything that comes on our way.
2. Focus on the top 20% you have chosen earlier and they shouldn’t be more than 4.
3. Life is a school. Experience is the teacher. Know that you will goof along the line so be ready to forgive yourself after you do.
4. Learn progressive consistency using daily tasks. It is easier that way. Jump back on track at the next opportunity if you err somewhere.

WHAT IS BRAND?
A brand is a perception of what you or your product or your blog is all about. It is a representation of the value that you bring to the market. It is personality with your audience.
What Does Blogging Mean to You?
Posted by: | CommentsIs there really an exact definition of blogging? I really do not think so regardless of what Wikipedia defines it as.
Blogging has no exact definition. It means a lot of things to a lot of people just as we all have differently shaped faces. It is however imperative for you to ask yourself if you want to become a blogger – what the meaning of blogging is.
A VISION
If you suddenly wake up one morning and simply start out by chasing your dream of becoming a blogger without any vision and predefined mission to serve as guides, you will definitely not succeed. There will not be a way to measure how you are meeting your objectives because there was none to start with. You also will not target the appropriate niche market. So, to truly get the meaning of blogging, it will be a good start to know the common reasons why so many of us are bloggers.
