Tips to Consider When Blogging

If you are new to blogs and blogging in general, here are some tips for you.

Tips to Blogging

No blogger on the internet is able to leave a log on it without the right tools and the rest of the process that follows is relatively simple.

The Right Tools

You already have a computer and a decent internet connection, but to blog, you are still missing something – the blogging platform. Although there are many blogging tools out there already and may still have continue to grow, none have had many users as a blogging platform up to this day than WordPress and Blogger due to its free services, with optional payments for a premium. Other notable blogging platforms include Squarespace, Tumblr, Xanga, and LiveJournal among others.

Make a Catchy Title

In this fast pace of living we’re having, people are more picky on what they read. Nothing attracts their attention more than a catchy title. Similarly, you would like to attract readers to your blog by using a catchy title.

Know Your Target Audience

As any written literature, written outputs for the sake of reading are written on a particular niche and target audiences. Similarly, as a blogger, you ought to know who your target readers are and what they want to read. Written in an informal fashion or not, what is important is what readers may find in your blogs. Know and consider your target audience.

Make Your Own Writing Style and Voice

Great designs and technical gimmicks make a part of a good blog, however both are not a replacement to an interesting and readable writing. Make your blog as readable as possible and of the right length with the use of words, all while supplementing it with other additions such as the use of images and other medium relevant to your topic. However, do not forget that your blog is about you – do not lose your voice in your blogs.

Update Frequently

People who make frequent updates on their blog attract the most readers. This is more true to those whose blogging are consistent on updates.

Invite Comments from Readers

Make a “call-to-action” from your readers thereby giving your update a definite purpose while also engaging interactions between you and your readers. Do not forget to respond to the comments from your readers.

Optimize Your Blog

If you know a thing or two about search engine optimization (SEO) or know someone who is, optimizing your page with the use of tags, metadata, and hyperlinks will likely boost the traffic in your page as it gets easier for people to find your blog in the internet.

As was mentioned, you need not have to be a professional to blog. Equipped with the right tools along with the knowledge and guidelines to writing blogs, anyone can do so at his or her own leisure. One can also use blogging as a means of income if he or she so wishes.
