Ways To Start A Wall Street Blog

By Martha Phillips


If you are interested in finance and investments, you have already probably acquired some information on these topics. You may share what you know by starting a Wall Street blog, which may reach out to people who are trying to enter the industry. You even have a depth of information if you've already practiced what you know through investments and trading. To start quickly, just sign up for a domain and start writing.

Since investment and business is a large topic, it is best to narrow down your scope into a niche you know well and that people will be interested in. For example, instead of writing about everything about investment and business, you can choose your niche to be stock market. You may even narrow this further into long term investment or regular trading. This will help you focus the information you provide.

While you may already know a lot about your topics, you could increase your credibility by having resources for your posts. You may refer to books and studies in your chosen niche. It is likely that there were already written articles relevant to your topic. This does not mean you're going to copy them. Use them as sources of information or inspiration for new topics you're going to talk about.

While this page may be one of the most seldom visited, never forget to write information about yourself as a blogger. This will help people know about your credibility as a resource on the topic. Do not include information that are not relevant to your topics. Of course, to make this page interesting and reader-friendly, you can include a few fun facts about yourself. But that's it.

Many blogging instructional articles guide you into writing your pillar posts. This has been true for years and still true up to this time. Pillar posts are long articles that establish your knowledge in the field. These are the first ones that you should be posting. Prepare five to ten of them and start sharing them.

Increase the content in your site by creating short articles frequently. It would be great if you could do this at least once a day. As much as possible, this content should still be useful to your readers. If you have not yet captured a regular audience, refrain from writing about your daily commute or your lunch unless something relevant happened.

If you already have enough number of posts, you can begin you link building activities. Look for relevant articles and share your opinion on them. Be sure to include a link to an informative article that you have written. You can also participate in forums. Some websites allow you to share your thoughts as an expert in exchange for exposure and bio.

Starting your own weblog is easy and quite inexpensive. Your greater expense will be the amount of time and effort that you will spend in growing the content and readership. Do not be discouraged if you only have a few readers initially. Everyone went through this stage. Just continue what you are doing and learn from the experts.
