Be it the Easter, Christmas, new year, local and the international events. Events… Everywhere! All around the globe!

And you are going to target any of them, or all of them. Just up to your good muscles and the brain’s speed to tackle any or all.

The events that you would be focusing over, are managed online. To target the audience that is just online and searching for the information (the real good information) out on the search engines.

So, you are going to stick with the online audience, only and only.

Why Event Marketing?

Now, it really is the time to move forward with the topic.

As I said earlier that for the events, we can pick up anything. And our primary motive for our chosen topic is to actually transform it into the topic for our blog. Any offline event, it should not be a matter or a problem for us. Everyone online is looking up for them, the events! So, why should we not present the best information out for the searchers? Now if you do it well, you can make good money online as well.

Take Action

With this article, I expect you to Act and Act fast. The next event should be approaching fast… Saddle up for ’em! Rather going more into the details of what and why to do the event blogging.

1… 2… 3…. Action!

And the action just strikes hard after the asking and knowing the ‘HOW’ word, nope?

Yup then…

Let’s move to the HOW now!

How to start event blogging in 2024?

See… We are quickly onto the HOW segment now.

This process… The whole process will blow your mind away. Just that you need to digest the every inch and the bit of the information as you consume.

But still… There is something left about the ‘event blogging’ because we already know about the ‘event’. So, that is what I am going to cover along with the whole (the very whole) process of how to start the event blogging.

Process goes as follow…

What really is the event blogging?

Blogging… it is the next level of the blogging, and the different kind of too. [Read: How to Start a Blog]

In the very easiest words, event blogging is done for targeting and focusing over the upcoming event or the events. And the core area of the concentration for having the event blog is to get the highest and very-targeted traffic off the search engines.

Just like the events do not last for long, the event blog and the event blogging will just last for few hours, few days, and few weeks too. So, that concludes the chapter of what is the event blogging, in the form of easy words.

Now if you do it well, you can make good money online as well.

Why should you do the event blogging a.k.a. the motive?

The second chapter of the process…

Why? That why to let yourself know why you are up for doing the event blogging. The motive. The reason. And the need of doing the event blogging. For many and the true fact, event blogging is done for the money. And to earn (or make) the quick money in the quickest duration.

A part from the motive of the money-making event blogging, your event blog should be up with best, unique, and the great information about that event. The precise information that is not available anywhere, and into the updated manner. Make information your first basic motive and then the money.

When to start with the event blogging?

It is not about the setup of your event blog but some basic points and understandings straighten up prior to starting the event blog, as it is the next step out of this whole process.

For the new event blog, it is best to start with minimum 40 to 50 days before the date of the small-scaled events. However my personal recommendation is 75 to 90 days.

But for the higher-competitive and demanding events, you have to start so earlier, and months ago. Not because of the demanding events, but they are too common and highly-followed events almost every event blogger should be targeting, and it will require so much work, so good authority to cut through every single competition out in the market.

You need to be present more earlier before anyone to become the standing master of that particular event! 🙂

Pick one that is popular.

How to actually set up your new event blog; the technical resources?

Setting up the event blog is totally equal to be setting up any other blog.

It requires lots of resources to be researched within, bought, and acquire first before calling and working upon the event blog.

So before the event blog, it is called the regular blog and needs all of the settings to be done.

Keyword research

After the selection of your topic for the event blog, what thing we need at the very first stage?

Keywords! And only the keywords.

You need keywords ready for domain selection, the primary target of your event blog, and for everything.

Keyword research is done with the same techniques, into the same fashion but here we are looking for the one point; that is to select the highly searched keywords.

Because you are to get the as much traffic as you can receive, so the keyword has to be one of the too-highest searching!

I don’t really need to dive into how to do the keyword research because I have the best help already covered. And for that, you need the help of some brilliant keyword tools that will get you the highly-searched keywords for your event blog.

How to Find Keywords?

Event + Year is the prime keyword. For example, If i’m targeting New Year, My Keyword will be :

and at the end of results, I can also see my relevant keywords :

and it’s just one example. You can also find more through your competitors research.

Keyword Research Tools :

My review about the LongTailPro will definitely be the great asset for you to hunt the keywords down.

Also, the renowned name in the research tool is SEMRush. And I have also reviewed this brilliant SEMRush too.

Get the best help out of these two great helpful SEO tools!

Domain name

You need to give your event blog the name now, right? Because you have achieved your target keyword.

And you need that keyword (that primary keyword) be the part of your domain name too.

Will it look ugly, yup?

Yes, it will definitely look ugly if you will make it to be looking ugly.

Domain name should NOT really look ugly with the addition of the keyword at all.

See this…

www.NewYear2024.com

You know what… let me tell you something first.

Before the FaceBook, it was not www.facebook.com from the very beginning. I know many of you would already know this fact but it is for those who do not. So… before www.facebook.com, it was actually www.thefacebook.com.

And then someone had advised Mark Zuckerberg to drop the “THE” from the www.thefacebook.com and make it only www.facebook.com.

The “THE” here was ugly… they dropped it and made it www.FaceBook.com which everyone knows. The domain name that made it popular for.

Easy to read, easy to pronounce, and easy to remember — the domain name

Event blogging is, like I said earlier, rank > rank higher, to target the very-focused and precise audience. Hence it may become the hard job to really decide upon which domain name to choose that will look and be read as easier, and memorable.

So believe me… it should have to be the very-easier to read. Because it is long and easy.

So, I was talking (actually writing) about www.HappyNewYear2024.com. Yeah, it is easy to read but mind it, and mind the one thing.

This domain name will only last for one year, and for only one go. Obviously it is due to the fact that it has 2024 in it. So… It definitely is the good domain name but you know this fact too.

Since the event “New Year” is too competitive and pretty busy niche, it will of course be the good try to just target one ‘New Year’ if you are willing to.

See the ugly domain name’s example down here…

www.IPLCricketLeagueWatchForNow.com

I am still learning to get the baddest and ugliest domain name… 🙂

But…

I would also tell;

Be simple with this domain name’s process and acquire the best one!

Web hosting

After fiddling with the domain name’s process, it is time to get the firm decision over selection of the best economical wordpress web hosting.

But best here will not work. You get to have the powerful one.

Check this out… And remember the word “thrust.”

You are setting up the event blog and that too 4 months ago before the event.

Yeah, you would be getting much less, much lower traffic in all of these time before the event takes place.

And on the very event’s day… What happens? You get a blow! A full blow! The complete thrust, the powerful thrust to your event blog. What happens in this case and under this situation?

You are hitting with thousands of visitors just within the duration of a wink.

Then… what happens now?

Powerful web host you got?

It definitely and easily will handle all of the hits, all of the visitors without any pain and the trouble.

Disadvantage of not going with a good host :

Nope? Do not have the powerful web host and have only just any other web host for your event blog?

Crash… crash! Crash!!!

All you are to experience is the crash. No uptime. Only down. Down website. No visitors. And ultimately and definitely no money, nothing at all!

Well… Let me tell you something of the point too.

Imagine you are setting up your new and fresh blog like say, 6 months ago. Let’s go with the low-budget web host for first 4 months.

Here we are talking about the new year, and you are setting up the event blog for the “new year” in the month of July.

You are paying about and within the range of US$10.00 for the web host and do it for 4-months and up to the end of October.

Do all of the things. All of the set up. All of the preparations for your event blog to become an authority, a known asset which is geared towards hitting the new year with the powerful bang.

Then in the start of the month of the November and before two months of hitting the event, get moved to the powerful one, the one that will surely handle all of your sorrows — of not going down and offline on the very event’s day.

This is the big blow the experienced event bloggers understand but newer ones do not.

Benefits of good web host

So… it is my friendliest advice to look into this thing with your deep thoughts, and understand this whole thing of the web hosting.

Also, go check out my post about the selection of web hosting: Buying Web Hosting? Here’s What You Need to Know

This is your primary point to live the event’s day with the good success. And you can call it a day went so well with the help of your web host, your very and so powerful web host.

Start with shared… Get onboard with your web hosting provider to confirm they can take you to another plan/package in matter of an hour or two when the time comes so that you can quickly be shifted to VPS (virtual private server) or the dedicated servers.

Also, it would be best if it is asked beforehand you will be charged as per the traffic.

That means if you are getting higher traffic, you are charged higher for that day (or days) and when the traffic gets down (means the event is finished), you are down to the lower side of the charge for your web hosting usage depending upon the size of the traffic you would be receiving.

Hostinger is the one that can handle this task easily.

They provide the up-scaling system where you can seamlessly up and down the resources to combat with your traffic surge, if you know it.

And being the event blogger, you know that so well when you need to up-scale your web hosting resources to match with the traffic’s surge, nope? 🙂

Blog set up.

Go with the WordPress.org, the self-hosted blogging platform.

What? Just it?

First read my post about: WordPress Vs Blogger and then decide yourself.

I selected WordPress.org as the winner out of other three blogging platforms.

Since WordPress.org is the free blogging software and you can take it to be hosted on your very and so powerful web host, just befriend with the WordPress and get your blog set up without any hassle and the problem.

Mostly it is said to use Blogger just that it is free.

But… Do you know a thing? Or a fact about why I told to go with WordPress, the self-hosted blogging platform, and do not pick Blogger even though it is free? Because… using the Blogger could be too risky to operate with. Blogger is the property of Google, Inc. and have all the rights to do anything, and anytime.

That means you are in no control of your event blog if you go with Blogger. Spend money to earn money. Keep it simple, light-weighted, and with the lower in the number but the well-needed plugins.

Theme

Pick the simple theme.

Remember one thing and keep it deep into your mind, you need to focus more over the content (the information) and actually focus a bit less over the presentation, the external beauty.

Again I say, pick the simple theme. If you want to learn on how to find and pick the themes, move on to : How to choose the best wordpress themes

Operational resources to get your event blog sneaking through the competition?

You have the keywords, domain name, web hosting, and the event blog all set up now, right?

Now, you have to operate your event blog with the full thrust.

And for that, you are in the well need of the operational resources to sneak through the competition and grow your event blog to become an authority.

So… Let’s know the operational resources, and that too with the good and well details.

Content

Content is the king, or the queen, or anything.

But the real thing and the fact is, the content is everything.

Every single thing it is! Without it you are nothing!

No matter what type of event blog you are about to get it set up, content will always be the major player of making your event blog the good success.

Content type for the event blogging

Info! Informative information.

Just tell everything about the event in the big wide details.

Every aspect, every corner, and every bit of the event, you should cover it all with your content.

Let you content remain simple; not boring, no dullness should show but write in the conversative format to keep the readers’ eyeballs reading through lines to lines.

I will not stress the need of the high quality content because if the content is written all by you, and by deep down your heart, it is then always the high quality one.

But I would have to remind you of one thing… Go for the long content. They do perform well in many situations.

Create the images yourself too. Relevant and the best in quality.

I meant that do everything yourself.

Use everything.

Make it bold.

Italic.

Headlines (H1, H2, H3, H4 as you deem appropriate.)

And everything.

Content frequency

It is the must. Set and follow the schedule. You need so many articles to be written and lined up.

Let’s say you write one article in a week, then really follow that schedule. The motive here is to keep your event blog fresh and updated with the new content. Keep the content coming. Keep your event blog fresh into the system of search engines.

How to do SEO [Search Engine Optimization] for Event Blogging?

You need at least basic SEO skills for event blogging to be successful. Let’s break down the essential skills and how to implement them effectively.

Off-Page SEO

Backlinks are still one of the most important factors in ranking on search engines. If you want to rank fast, you need to work on your backlinks. My personal suggestion is to acquire backlinks genuinely and in a natural format. The backlinks have to be relevant. No show-off here. You need to hunt for highly authoritative blogs, websites, forums, etc.

Blog Comments

You are into the business now, so no more unprofessional moves you can bear and afford. Check out my guide on blog commenting to start with it.

Forums

Go slow and go natural, I must say.

Social Signals

Social platforms are in ever-increasing demand in this technological era. Share your website and articles on social networks, as this can be very beneficial for up-ranking your event blog. Google loves social signals and considers them a solid component for fruitful SEO.

Web 2.0

Some people prefer creating Web 2.0 properties, writing posts, and linking their sites through them. Add videos and images to build authority. You can also build backlinks for your Web 2.0 sites for more trust.

Create Videos

Not only will creating videos be a solid help in SEO, but if done correctly, you can also generate a good amount of traffic to your site. A pro-tip here: if you have money but lack time, you can outsource the majority of the link-building section. There are many gigs and services available on various freelance platforms; just choose wisely.

How to Do On-Page SEO for Event Blogging?

If you are on this part, then remember a thing, my friend. You have successfully gone through the major steps of research, acquiring, setup, and operations. Now, you are standing at the crucial step of “SEO” a.k.a. Search engine optimization. Here, it’s not about finding the primary keyword for your event but about hunting down the necessary keywords for every piece of content you will write.

To get your precious content written for your event blog to rank in the search engine algorithms, you need good on-page SEO requirements fulfilled for every single content piece you complete.

Title

Craft good and impactful titles. Before working on the title, you need to first get a keyword ready for the content. Make it part of your title. Your title should be catchy (not deceiving, though) and include power words to make it powerful. This tool will help you craft a powerful title for your next content.

Description

Just like the title, you need to add the keyword into the description naturally. Do not make it look like a forceful piece of text but give the best impression with an effective and unique description.

Content Body

Do NOT overdo it. The keyword usage, depending on the length, should be minimal. Do not stuff keywords everywhere. Again, be natural and look natural.

Categories

Select appropriate categories for your content. It will definitely look good and organized.

Tags

It is commonly said that tags are not useful anymore, but why leave them out entirely? Using tags can make your content look organized. Only focusing on SEO and ignoring other elements may put a bad impression on readers. It will look incomplete, which is definitely not a good thing.

After all, we are doing event blogging for the sake of the reader and not merely for search engines.

High earning method it could become for you.

Own products

Well… If you have. I mean, If you really have your own products just and JUST related to your event which you are targeting.

If not, just leave it. Also, if it is not related to your chosen event, just drop this very idea.

Because you have to be felt and looked so relevant from up to down.

Although I have already mentioned it above, but its always a perfect idea to work 3-4 months before the event. Anything even before is much better.
