Business Blogging

Besides trying to blog regularly (stress trying) on this blog, I also post a couple times a week to MadLuck Books blog. The MadLuck Books Blog is the official (as opposed to this blog which is more or less just for fun) blog of madluckbooks.com, my personalized books ecommerce website. I have been having a terrible time trying to figure out what to post on the MadLuck Books Blog. For a while, I thought of posting weekly "blog specials". Putting four or five books on sale and listing them on a post each week. But that meant having to change prices around all the time on the website, updating my Froogle listing, etc., etc.. And than the posts are still there once the week is up and the prices change again. Do I edit them? Do I delete them? I even had trouble deciding on a template, and have changed it several times in the last few weeks (which means redoing all the customization of the template). What is the point here besides whining about my indecision and all the extra work it causes me? The point is that I have figured it out (I think...)

So the new and improved MadLuck Books Blog will showcase all the stuff that I don't have room to put on the website because of the stupid hosting plan I am under (that is another ten blogs in itself). I already have three parenting artcles blogs posted and today I posted my first Product Spotlight - the Mother Goose Personalized Book is in the spotlight. Of course putting all this "quality content" (look at me throwing out the SEO terms) on blogspot.com is optimizing blogspot.com as opposed to madluckbooks.com as the SEO experts would say, but what can I do? I say I am optimizing for my human visitors, not those nasty little search engine bots.
