  1. I think it’s a good idea to add several photos to blog posts. If you want those shares a new blogger must optimize for people, not search engines. That means well illustrated content, nice photos, maybe even embedded Youtube videos. A beginner can get up to speed pretty fast if they have someone helping them.

    I coach local businesses on this sort of thing and many seem to think they are not “technical” enough. They don’t realise that the trick to blogging comes from being informative, educational, useful and interesting.

    I see small biz owners blog like it’s a newspaper advert. They think it is a free billboard, but this puts consumers off. It is a transparent aggressive sales pitch and no one will share it unless it grabs them in some way.

    Forget about money long enough to write something with the reader’s best interest at heart. That is where the magic happens. Checkout “Victory Autoglass” on Social Media Examiner for a successful case study of a small business leveraging great content. Just don’t give away devastating business trade secrets, or *too* informal because you’ll undermine yourself from the customer’s point of view.
