Overall, your blog looks like it has some potential. It’s hosted on wordpress.com, so you might want to get your own domain name and transfer everything over there if you can afford it. If you leave it on wordpress.com, you are at the whims of their site and their terms of service. If you host it on your own domain you can do whatever you want without having to worry about wordpress.com deleting your blog for some reason.

Also, for each post you want to make sure you do your keyword research. I don’t know if you’ve done this or not, but make sure that each post targets one specific keyword. Most of your posts look good, but the first two about depression might be a bit too far from the topic of meditation, in my opinion. Ask yourself what your visitors would be looking for if they typed in a keyword phrase into Google. If someone types in “what is depression” for example, they are not necessarily looking for self-help or meditation information. Maybe they just got diagnosed as clinically depressed and they want to learn more. Maybe their friend or family member just got diagnosed. It’s tough to say.

The free e-book thing could be a good idea, but you’ve got to promote it well. Upload it to file sharing sites like Scribd. Maybe visit some meditation forums and link to your report in your user signature. If the report is very high quality, it will start to spread virally once a few people check it out and start sharing it with others.

I hope this helps.

I have a blog that I started back in 08′ but never really spent the time on it. I only had a couple of articles on it. So after loosing my job I got the Idea to write an E-book about meditating as personal development is my niche. I found this ebook called how to make your first 50k. It discussed creating an ebook and adding links to products to sell in it and giving the ebook away for free as a way of promoting (viral marketing) the products. I thought this was a great Idea and I decided that is what I would do.

I had the Idea of creating a vlog of my experience. Right now I am working on my ebook and trying to get more content created for my blog. Writing is tough for me and I am having a hard time with it. I am broke so I cant outsource anything right now. Well this post is getting way too long. If you don’t mind taking a look at my blog and telling me what you think I would appreciate it.

Good luck and may the Force be with you
