This is a guest post by Bill Acholla.
When I first started working on my blogs, for a long time, I was at a standstill. Without much direction, I was lost. Being in that place made me realize how important it is to have an inspiration in life, no matter what you do.
That’s when I started my search for people, inspirational figures and their works. There were many pieces that provided me with the inspiration that I needed.
And although some failed to give me the help I was hoping for, they still showed me the way. So, through my experience, I realized that having a guiding hand can ultimately lead you to your goals.
As most people don’t have the time to watch TV, the only way they get their news is through the internet. All over the world, be it USA or UK, people rely on the internet. They use the online world to learn and produce their content. And with so many bloggers online, it becomes difficult to pick out the ones with the most legitimate news.
Many people have asked me how to create a perfect blog and my answer is always, research.
The difficulty that I faced is quite common. Every day, numerous businesses surf the internet in search of inspiration. And although there are hundreds of sites with thousands of articles, people still have difficulty figuring out which top blogs are worth reading.
Why is it so?
With the market so saturated, everyone wants to get attention for their blogs. The time that you spend reading useless content is time wasted. What you need is a dedicated list of bloggers and content marketers that cater to your target audience. This way, you save precious time.
Since running a business is not child’s play, you’ll need all the help that you can get along the way. To ease your struggles, I’ve put together a list of top blogs that every serious business blogger should read.
These business blogs offer a fresh perspective on the traditional ways of business, provide the latest tech and business news and also market the blogger’s content. These are some examples of business blogs; a few of the ones that helped me establish my business.
In this era of technology, the internet is the best bet if you want to stay at the top of your game.
According to the statistics, 61% of marketers say improving SEO and growing their organic presence is their top inbound marketing priority. And the most important skill in SEO is link building.
In order to increase the search engine traffic, you need the power tool of link building. Links help determine the quality of a webpage. Any business blogger would want to have high quality links on their site and that’s only possible if they follow the fundamentals of link building.
To rank at the top in Google’s ranking, it’s important to increase the number of people who link to your page. And the best way to increase that number is through backlinks.
So if you want to see you page in the top ranking sites, make sure you read this blog and get the best help you can get.
There’s no doubt that the best way to really get your content out there is to get a social media influencer to promote it. With hundreds and thousands of followers, their influence can get you the traffic you need for your page.
