Lynda,

What a great Comment & So True as well, that goes a long way to showing your credibility and sincerity online ( which can take some time to do, Unless you are Focused) but is part and parcel of what you are talking about.

One major thing I know that you must do. Although the SEO giants may complain You must speak from your heart. Because if you are not coming from your heart, no amount of SEO will help you. So if there is gramatical and spelling errors, because English is not your first language, if your heart comes through, then those errors will be forgiven. Take the time to know what your reader needs and wants, then go for the heart and passion of the message. Works for me!

One thing I know for sure is the taller they are the harder they fall.
When it comes to "SEO giants" Ive seen em fall pretty hard.

If anything Lynda in light of all the recent changes at Google, only justifies your comment.
Over SEO is leaving a big footprint that is easily identified now and Google is cleaning house.

If you look at the language they are using and have been using, it's all about being natural.

The best way to accomplish that is creating awesome content that identifies with and pulls at the heart strings of your audience. That has nothing to do with keyword count, anchor text links, semantic referencing, or anything else other than writing from the heart with the intention of serving the reader and providing value to the marketplace.

That's not to say that you can ignore the fundamental seo factors.
But thats a secondary layer of editing, not the primary goal.

Starting from the heart is how content goes viral.
That's how you get shares, likes, retweets, comments and naturally occurring backlinks....
its all about spreading the love. "au naturel"

So while the giants are hitting it hard coming up with tactics and secrets to fabricate all of that, crossing their fingers hoping the house of cards wont come crashing down any time soon... the rest of us are focused on authenticity. building rapport, community and looking at the bigger picture for long term wealth generation and asset creation.

If I could sprinkle a little wisdom before its too late for some people...

Starting a blog is the LAST THING I WOULD TELL ANYONE just starting.

So much to learn, so much to do and so much time lost.

I've been reading tons of "industry MLM blogs" and most always talk and dance around the real topics. Its always the "feel good" info thats repeated on every webinar and company meeting.

Look, take my advice and same some time. Start shooting videos that do the same thing. Express what you mean in video.

Only work on a blog to deliver content when you have the income to invest in the time.

Creating a blog content is maybe not hard,but creating creative content to attract people to read is hard.

I always believe that if you want to share something you know with an audience, writing it down is the best way to do it. You can read and edit it before sharing with others, which means you can minimize the errors. Once you get past the worrying stage, you will be able to write and share an informative content.

Creating blog content and coming up with ideas to write about is easy if you're learning new things everyday, instead of writing about the same thing over and over and over again.

Like a lot of people been saying, just be authentic and write from the heart, and everything else will eventually fall into place.

Creating blog content is easy unless you are a novice. When you don't know the basics of successful blogging, SEO and content semantics, then you are hopeless in Internet Marketing in general. l had to redesign my first interent business blog twice in order to make it seem at least a bit professional.

Doing everything from scratch and being a completely novice, l faced too many difficulties with the biggest of them the discouragement as l felt overwhelmed at least 10 times a day!
Blogging is sexy and fun as soon as you get better and become a savvy blogger...Until then you need a lot of courage...

The fastest you will pass the learning curve the better it gets for you. Keep going!

I agree @John. I think blogging (just like many other learned skills) gets much easier after you do it for awhile. When I just got started I used to hee and haw over the exact wording and phrases I'd use in a post. Now, I feel a lot more comfortable just writing what comes natural to me.

The other nice thing to remember when you're beginning is that no one's going to be reading your blog at first anyway. This can take a lot of the pressure off initially. Just think of the first few posts as practice.

As I learned to one of my friend in the online marketing industry....

What he is teaching is to write, write, write! Do not worry about the grammar it can be repair later on or you can hire an editor to do the task.

What important is the idea must come out! The idea must be put into writing.

So you have no reason not to share it, right?
