Pardon me with the title, it’s the first headline that came across my mind and I’ve decided to just go with it!
Let’s focus on the second part of it – “Here’s Where to Get Started”
I’m happy to announce a new page on newInternetOrder.com. It’s a “getting started page” – as in, how to get started with newInternetOrder.com and why would you even want to start in the first place.
In a (two) word, it’s a road sign pointing the way to the core content on this site.
But first…
In short, for all of you who don’t want to read the whole thing, yes it can.
However, it’s not actually that simple. The good thing is that your blog can, indeed, become a great resource for some niche audience and make you recognizable, that’s a fact. But the bad thing is that the content on every blog is very chaotic (by definition).
Here’s what I mean, and let me use an example. If you want to get some structured info on a specific topic, you go to Barnes and Noble and get a book. You don’t get 24 monthly archive issues of a popular magazine. Even though the articles in that magazine will surely be of good quality, you know that the lack of structure will make it very difficult to treat them as a handy resource.
If you’re reading this through an RSS feed then hop over to newInternetOrder.com and check out my new design! If you’re already here then … well … hi!
Long story short, here’s the new design.
I wanted to change something for a long time now. These days, more and more blogs decide to go a more purpose-centered path, where the posts themselves are not all that matters, and the aim is to make the advice much more structured. This is also the path I’ve chosen for this site from now on.
There are a couple of important things to mention about this new look. So here we go:
As you can see, the blog (link) is no longer present on the homepage. Instead, it has its own dedicated section.
For some websites, big redesigns tend to turn into major events in the online community. For instance, every time YouTube rolled out an update, there were tons of people commenting it, expressing their opinions, and being ultra-interested in the whole thing in general.
But YouTube is YouTube, it has millions of users, and even the slightest change can be reflected by a rise or fall in the number of overall video views. So what about small online businesses? Do they need to change their designs too, or is sticking with one design for a number of years perfectly okay? In other words, should an online business redesign their website often?
A couple of days ago I talked about launching a blog as part of your online business.
In short, blogs are the reason why people decide to visit business websites more than once. Simply because most of the time, your visitors don’t care about the products all that much … they are a lot more receptive to content.
This is where blogs come into play. Good blog = good content.
And this is where one specific problem comes into play as well. How to find time for content creation, and what type of content is the best in your situation?
Of course, nothing beats experience and some actual research, so you won’t be able to know for sure until your blog is online for a couple of months, but you can still make some assumptions even today.
Hi there! I'm Karol. I was never good at elevator pitches so let me just tell you like it is: I make a living by using my blogs as business tools (directly and indirectly). Over the last couple of years, I had the privilege to work with some great people and publish my articles on sites like: About.com, ProBlogger, Freelance Switch, Quick Sprout, Lifehack and many others.Copyright © 2013 some rights reserved · privacy · terms · brewed in Poland
