Wordpress Tags – Why Should You Use Them

If you’re wondering what Wordpress tags are or why you should even utilize them, here’s a post that can help you out. The other day a member sent me a set of questions. I thought I should answer them in public since most Wordpress users should know about tags and how to use them effectively…

Question: Charles, I’m a bit confused about tags… If I’m writing a post, I usually start writing what my head, heart and soul gives me. I don’t think about keywords or tags. But do I need to change that process?

Should I select a tag or keyword and then write about that… which is very hard for me since I write from the heart, not the head. Bottom line, what is the most successful way to do this. I’m already behind a few posts without tags and I need to go back and tag them.

Second, how is the best way to find the right tags. I notice there is a page where you can list many tags, but not sure what those are for versus the tag you type in on an individual post. Got any guidance here friend?

When I first started creating membership sites, I read a bunch of books and got a lot of answers from forums. The common advice I heard was to have 3 months worth of content before launching. I really didn’t know what that was at first. I thought it was maybe 60-90 pages of content. While there is nothing wrong with creating a bunch of quality content before launching a site, it isn’t the fastest way to build a membership site business.
