Are you busy .Can’t get a grip of Google keywords.

I was in the same boat.When I started blogging my baby was 2 and a half year old and I was working full time.I read keywords are important.

 

I had used  Google keywords for a few of my posts.

But the problem was ,could I do it before every post?

For a mompreneur that’s impossible.

But the truth was I needed to learn  about keywords.

I wanted my readers to find me.

That’s when I researched and found out the hacks.

Read quicksprouts.com for details about all topics related to SEO and keywords.

Now what worked for me.

Blogging is writing in vaccum

You need to give signals.

That’s your keywords. 

Where do you give signal?

At traffic lights .Right?

Your posts in your blog,social media specially Pinterest works great with keywords.

When someone searches for those or related keywords google sends them to you.

The audience persona.

That makes your blog human.

• Now what are your interests?

What do you write about?
