Publishing, SEO, and Blogs

Writers, myself included, want to be recognized for their hard work that they do.  They want to have books published, and their names in print, and they want to have that now.

It’s great most people want the ‘now’ in their lives, but I’ve personally been around the blogging world long enough to understand that this isn’t a case of overnight success.  I’m sure most writers have heard the siren call of “just post and they will come… with money!” The reality is this doesn’t happen all that often.  There is something missing to the whole art of money, and publishing, and that is Search Engine Optimization.  This is the key, or the missing link to a better chance of sales and more sales for your book.

However, there is always that glimmer of ‘more.’

What does SEO have to do with publishing?

Good question.  For some writers there isn’t much of a connection, bit for others it is a reason to pause and think for a moment, because it is a big deal in a way.  The more people that find your blog on the big Internet, the more likely you will gain more followers, and the more books you sell.  The more books you sell, the more money you earn, and this is because you worked with some SEO services, which are so easy to get and do greatly benefit you.

It’s good to read up on SEO

Have a look at how to create SEO content, do research, learn the best tricks and tips. And no, I’m not suggesting it’s something everyone needs, but it is something every writer should consider if they don’t have as big a name as the next person.  They need more people to buy their books, but with a blog, they can have people go and purchase a book far easier through Amazon, and they can see their sales, and this is partly because as a writer, they looked at basic SEO.

In a sense, learning how to make your blog, and by extension your book more visible to the regular reader, is important, and publishing, SEO, and blogs work together to create more of a network you won’t otherwise have.
