The common perception among small business owners and bloggers alike is that branding is strictly for mega corporations with millions of dollars in advertising budget. Well, I would like to say that this was true many years ago but not anymore. With the advent of the internet, it is now a level playing field for both big and little businesses to market their brands.

Write at least once per week, or even more. If and when your site starts to increase in popularity, you may find that you will have to be on top of it on a daily basis. There will be a constant desire for new info as well as many opinions to be addressed. Needless to say, if you get to a stage where your blog requires more than an hour a day of your attention, you’ll be glad to do the job.

If they listed their online social media accounts (such as Facebook and Twitter), add them as friends or follow them on twitter. Online friends are fantastic because it starts spreading.

If you write enough articles you can make a nice side income.

To summarize, I want to re-emphasize the point that creating a brand for your site isn’t a one-hit affair; it is an ongoing process that may span years. Also, branding requires consistency and concentration. Take it one step at a time and I’ll see you at the top.
