Yesterday I shared some tips on the Diverse Solutions blog for how to use blog categories more effectively. Today, I thought I’d share a little video outlining my process (cuz you know, some people are visual learners):
Can’t see the video? Click here.
Basically, we can break it down into three steps:
- Define your topic/niche,
- Brainstorm your category titles,
- Brainstorm post titles each of your categories.
Over To You:
How many categories do you currently have on your blog? Could you use these steps to do a little house-cleaning?
Find these tips helpful? How about passing ‘em on to your network (hit the Facebook Share and/or RT buttons). And while you’re here, don’t forget to get more bloggy goodness by subscribing to the rss feed or sign up to receive updates (free) via email.
About Ricardo Bueno
I always wondered about how exactly the categories should be displayed
Is that you in the video?
It's not quite a technical video on how to set up your categories. More of a brainstorm for how to map out your blog topics and get organized.
Nonetheless, is that you?
Great video – a little long (most people don't have huge attention spans) but it was really well organized and put together.
Well I thank you for sitting through it, heh
You're right though, definitely want to keep it under a minute. I'm also one of those folks with a short attention span.
Thanks for the comment Kirsten and look forward to seeing more in your video blog series!
It’s amazing how short folks’ attention spans are these days. I think youtube and other internet spots have greatly contributed to this “shortening”. I find myself in a similar situation.
Killer vid man. You gotta do more.
Oh yeah. Also, you showed me a few things I didn't know as well!
Heh, I picked up the whiteboard just for that video when in fact I could have filmed it the way you filmed yours.
But yes, I want to do more. Just gotta get comfortable and outline some topics.
I have a bit of a clutter going on with my categories and am about to clean house. Thanks for the tips Ricardo
I once transferred a site from Blogspot to WordPress… They had a whopping 235+ categories (true story).
Less is more. The neater the better.
Happy organizing AL!
