Articles / Blog Posts– Write blurbs and short articles about your niche industry. Submit them to article directories on the web and syndicate them. Have a link to your blog or main website in the byline or main body.

Multimedia - Add a variety of components to your blog and blog content. People of all ages visit and many like digital photos, video and audio clips and other fun stuff along with your written content. Invite your guests to submit their own photos and other multimedia files to share with fellow site members.

Monetize – You free is fun; however, even your blog needs money to survive, as hosting and maintenance costs time, energy and some funds. So remember from the get-go to insert advertising (banners, buttons, classifieds), affiliate programs, front- and back-end products (like those you gain reseller rights to), Google™ Adsense, an auction site, ecommerce / shopping cart solution linked to top banner or inside articles, etc. YOU need some ROI (return on investment) for long term success, so start early and grow your blog in this direction.

RSS – Blogs have an area you can activate to set up the RSS feed. So be sure to activate this feature so that you can syndicate your blog content, just like your article content. Then submit your blog’s RSS feed to feed directories so that others can pick it up, too.

So regardless of whether or not you have a static HTML site, set up a blog. Link it to your static and other websites. And kick your traffic into higher gear.
