Allow for an About Page
This is a peek behind the iron curtain, about the person you are. Share your professional expertise with a little bit of your human quirks to really connect. Don’t just talk about yourself. Touch also on what you would focus on the blog.
Preen for a Picture
A mugshot would do fine. Else go the extra mile to look as best as you can. People do really would want to look at the man behind the mission.
Professional Design
Don’t compromise on your web design. Have a professional design that focusses on usability and gives the vibes that you really care about your web presence.
Spelling and Grammar counts
Ensure that your conversation style of writing that you love so much does not breed bad grammar and standout spelling errors. Fall back on the good old spell checkers if you are on a tearing hurry.
Say no to Add clutter
Maybe you live off the web, but still it is not an excuse to have your Adsense, affiliate ads clutter your web-scape. If you have them, blend them properly with your layout. Also an advertising policy page would help.
Have Guest Authors
It always augurs well when established guest authors post on your blog. Not just adds credibility but also does a whole lot of good on the viral marketing front.
