Now you own a blog what you need now is how you to Maximize Your online presence. Cause it would help you a lot.

What is An online Presence?
It's a unique strategy of getting website traffic to a personal or business brand online. This includes blogging, search engine optimization [SEO], pay per click advertising marketing, directory listings, social media , link sharing. All this are search engine friendly once built successfully, you will notice sudden increasement of fans and followers, customer/sales/product and lead. This can increase your small or large business.

    How To Get Started?

1: Strategize: Write Down Your Goals And Aim
Without goals and aim you can't move forward it's either it gets shaken on the way or worst it gets shattered. In a lame man language [Far Far Away] in order to avoid this before, you start any business or an online presence write down your goals and aims this will help foreseen the future ahead.

2: Start With Article Writing
I don't know why most bloggers hate writing on there blog. How can you build an online brand without content writing? Even if it's paid advertising you're still write a bit of an intro. Article writing is one of the top fundamentals of blogging or website search engine. It's not just about the writing. But the uniqueness and keyword research work. Start writing content that solve a solution, articles that would drive organic traffic to your business or Blog cause that's what you certainly need.  If you got the Money you can Hire a website content writer to do the job for you.

3: Build A Solid Connection
I"l call it partnership well it might not be that really. Creating a solid connection with other expert in your niche or business field would take you a long way far ahead of those who doesn't socialize themselves with experts or non expert in there Field. Since this is an online presence you building you could start with Guest blogging do research and find others in your niche request for guesting blogging. When given approval write quality content that would attract large audience to your business or blog.

3:Consistent Is The Key
You built a brand few month's later you decided to call it off because you not getting the tons of traffic you expecting. Remember nothing comes easy. It's just like an athlete preparing his/her self ready for a big game. He needs to train hard before he succeed [No pain, No Gain]. That's how an online brand is you have to be consistent to meet up with other in your niche.

4: Be Social
You've written an article that solve a problem it's time to contain your audience. That's when the power of social media comes.  There lots of ways to get search engine traffic with social media. This can be done by through forum posting [forum traffic] direct traffic. Or social networking top notch websites like Facebook, twitter,GooglePlus, Instagram, LinkedIn. Everyone knows this  are the best website to get this traffic. They might be other actually but this are the most popular and well known social networking websites.
Create an account with this high profile social networking services and share your post to your page. Certainly, you get  traffic back to your blog or business. [Referral Traffic]

5: Getting Noticed
You audience love your content or service you getting satisfied by there demands and purchase but you not get recognize in your niche or business brand. What you need is create awareness with other. Meet with experts or experience people in your Field.
Talk to them make them understand that there is someone unique in there midst. You can create Do-follow Backlink the best ways too do that is through Blog commenting and guest posting. I wouldn't advice you to buy attracting low cost backlinks from fiverr and the rest google might penalized your website or blog. We'll most SEO expert offers quality backlinks service which comes in high price. Have not tried it before so I don't know how real it would be.

6: Start Mail Listing
Collecting of mail is essential it's like a hook. When a visitor comes to your blog/website and they drop there email be rest assured you get them back. That's the main reason of mail listing. Internet marketer use this cause it's a goldmine. It's not necessarily you attached something catchy to get there emails. Like I said if you unique in your field they would come naturally cause, you attracting them with quality service or post. This are best Email marketing softwares to  use aweber, listwire, activecampaign, MailChimp, StreamSend, FeedBurner. There more but i can't write them all.

7:Track Online Metrics
Tracking your growth is necessary it  would either encourage you or discourage you to make amend  your service or Blog.
It's a success growth monitor that tracks your online metrics in HD

I hit ftc today.I love the information and it must be put into practice

Thanks for the information OP,but when it comes to rticle writing I don't think you can capture Nigerias with that because we don't like reading,especially long articles.

I believe content is key here. Your content should be up-to-date and attractive a enough to draw traffic.informative, educative and "feedbackish" (all depending on what you blogging about)

Nice. So for the mailing list are u saying one would need to subscribe to those services for this is something I need to do but don't know how. Also I moved to a self hosted wordpress blog and I can't view my stats anymore which I could before on the free platform, I mean the means of seeing my page/post visits. Pls what can I do?

Do digital advertising as long as you can

You remember the offensive, "If you want to hide information/knowledge from a Blackman ,put it in a book?" saying

What a coincidence!!

A thread on bibliophobia was opened and you typed this!!!

But the generalisation is something to be frowned at.....

What do you mean by Nigerians?

May God bless you Op!

Ok...I don hear...even though I no get blog

Having a blog is not the issue but sticking to the lay down rules and not derailing.

Blogging is not as easy like that......check this blog http://agrobalm.com anyway Patience is the major thing. Traffic won't come in a day, it takes times

OP, You've touched an important issue here and it's good that we all try to help each other learn.

It's also important that writers understand the need for their content to be properly-structured.

Content readability will make visitors stick to your site/blog longer. Writing an interesting, informational article requires constant editing before publishing finally. It makes your article have a sense of uniqueness.

OP, please punctuate your posts properly. Hope I didn't come across as rude. No pun intended.

Great article

For it to be mobile friendly it must possess some features like, site load speed on mobile device, Page bandwidth, Layout pushing content below its fold e.t.c

Since you are on a self hosted platform , i can suggest a plugin for you (mobile switch) and also a mobile theme (blog oh blog etc) , the use of the plugin is to Switch site layout anytime someone visits your blog using i.e mobile or desktop device.

As for the ads i noticed all your Content are unique, So its gonna be easy getting AdSense approval.. Yea no p.. if you are on bbm i might send you my pin wen i see you pm.
