Why documentation is important for bloggers

More often I received requests to improve website SEO or build a new website or improve an existing one. One common problem with lot of those website owners and bloggers is they do not have any documents about their expectations. They say do it best, do it as you like, I mean business. Or maximum they present some similar site.

Imagine a legal professional showing you a similar site and its about a hotel or resort.

That is not the story of most novice only. Even people in IoT business since over a decade and software professionals act numb. This simply put off me.

Whenever you start a blog or website, ask yourself

  1. Why I am creating this website?
  2. Who are my prospects?
  3. What I expect from this website?
  4. How this website well fulfill my expectation?
  5. How I want this site to look like?
  6. How I will promote this website?
  7. How often I will need upgrade?
  8. How much budget and time I can allocate for this?
Write down answers to above questions and any additional one that you have? To help you design part find a similar site. And mark the changes those you want in the layout etc. If you are solo chose your theme very carefully so you can customize it whenever you like. If you are a team, engage designers, developers, writers, Social Media team etc in discussion. Do the documentation first. This will help you in building your blog and online business.

Do not jump on the project without brainstorming else you will end up in trouble. Starting a blog or any IoT project without documentation is the first step towards failure. And if you are a beginner ......., ......., ........

How to Write Permalink for Blogger Blog Post

Are you a blogger like me who use blogger.com free CMS to write blog posts? Well, writing a permalink is as important as putting water to boil in a kettle over flame for making a cup of coffee. It tastes great when water heats up till accurate temperature. Permalink is like appropriate flame to heat up water for making a cup of coffee. By definition, a permalink is the link url of a webpage that audience refer to others and put on a web page for reference. This is the same page url that displays on the address bar in a web browser. Once a permalink is created, you can never change it. If you will change it the reference url put by others across internet for your page simply will result in an error page, and nobody want to see error page. Search engine ranks negatively such websites and blogs that have error pages. In other words (SEO Terms) it’s called broken link. Search Engine hates broken links.

Every blogger want to be seen on top of Google Search Engine Result Pages also called SERPs. This is digital era. Writing a blog and not seen on SERPs is very much like leaving the money on table. This is pain point of many bloggers and gain point for SEO companies. If you have written a blog post or planning for it and want to be seen on search results here are some points to consider 10 tips to show your blog posts on top of search engine result pages (serps) 1. Your post idea is great. Ask yourself, what problem this post is going to solve? 2. Write for the audience. Massive content is generated every minute.

Perhaps, you are an expert in your field but without references people are les...

Why to hire human copywriter when AI can do the job

Good question, that many many many zombies throw at me when I discuss Copywriting. Of course Copywriting is not for zombies. If you are a person or company who has hired a Copywriter to make money then do not hire. Your goal is survival and not zoom or use change as an opportunity. Your question is pretty similar: why drink water when I have sweetlime tree in the backyard and a juicer in the kitchen. However, if you are a professional, business person, company or someone looking to make a change then a Copywriter is worth hiring. Why? If you are a beginner and truly stuck between thoughts of hiring a writer or going with AI, my suggestion is Go with both. Chose a human to use tools, chose a Copywriter to write and encourage him to use AI in creating copy. AI connects you with libraries worldwide and presents data in certain formats. It cannot add human touch. AI can not differentiate between good and bad, AI does not know who is your audience. A Copywriter can seek help from AI to fetc...
