2. Be Consistent in Your Posts

Be consistent, when starting out try to post at least 3 times a week. Preferably every other day.

Don’t get caught up in length of your posts. Your posts don’t have to be long. They can be random thoughts or tidbits of news regarding your industry. The key is make them interesting.

4. Allow Comments

Allow comments. You can moderate comments, but comments create the viral effect by allowing your readers to interact with you. You will also want to research and comment on relevant industry related blogs.
