  Now that you have determined if you want an announced or unannounced blog post series it’s time to get everything started.

• Announced Blog Post Series

Below is an example of the format I use to announce a blog post:

This post is part of Tai Chi Tuesdays. Click Here if you would like to view more Tai Chi Tuesday posts.

</p> <table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" width="100%"> <tr> <td><img src=IMAGE LINK HERE /></td> <td>This post is part of EXAMPLE POST SERIES <a href=LINK TO BLOG POST SERIES CATEGORY>SOME TEXT ABOUT YOUR BLOG POST SERIES</a></td> </tr> </table> <p>

  Now that you have the basic table code you can decide where and how you would like to implement it into your blog. I currently have two weekly blog post series: Sara’s Sunny Sundays and Tai Chi Tuesdays. Blog Post Series are actually quite popular, look at ShoeMoney he has Free Shirt Fridays. Which has been a huge success for him and his sponsored free t-shirts to help advertise. Now that you have setup the above code, it’s time to create a category to put your blog series in.

  Like we described before blog post series are different than categories, but in essence your blog post series needs to be put somewhere. So what better place then it’s own category? Above in the code you will see the link which says “Blog POST Series Category” which is where you would insert the category you have just created.

• Unannounced Blog Post Series

   There are a few directions you can go with unannounced blog post series, since they are unannounced you are never bound to that topic on any certain day. On the flip side say you have 4-5 days where you want to talk about a topic but it’s just spree of the idea/moment for this week you would create an unannounced blog post series. I currently just had something to this affect with my string of “ezine article marketing tips” post sequence.

Article Marketing Traffic Series
Weblog and Blogging Tips Series

  Figure for everyday that I spoke about Article Marketing I would add the link to the new post to that page. Now whenever someone reads that post they will be able to find all the posts which were created after it, in the form of an unannounced blog post series.

   There are a few ways to use blog post series to your advantage. There are also many ways to market your blog series, acquire new RSS subscribers, and build long term high ranking keywords with blog series. Blog series allow you to effectively market related keywords, to the series, over and over again. Blog Series are also great ways to get traffic to your site through articles and press releases. As such I thought I would start off by mentioning there are a few ways to setup an effective blog series.

   A blog post series does two things for you, as a site/blog owner, it keeps you focused on a certain topic which appeals to your readers and it drives targeted traffic to your site for that topic, via keywords. As you know on Nurture Your Wealth, we currently have two weekly blog post series, and many other unannounced blog post series. Just recently, Nurture Your Wealth featured 4-5 days worth of posts on article marketing with ezine articles, which included some article marketing tips, how to rewrite articles, and do’s and dont’s for article marketing. In correlation to that we host two weekly health related series, Sara’s Sunny Sundays which explains her “Completely Rich Lifestyle”, and we have Tai Chi Tuesdays which will teach you everything Tai Chi/Taiji.

   The main thing when setting up an effective blog series is to determine if it will be announced or unannounced. Announced means you will blatantly state that that post is part of a series. Unannounced will take the shape like my blogging tips, What is a Weblog, which focused on the same topic but wasn’t added into a weekly rotation.

More to come + examples tomorrow so stay tuned!
