Top 10 Blogging Tips for Newbie Bloggers
1. Brainstorm
Either you are writing an article for a newspaper or posts for your personal blog, brainstorming plays a crucial role to make it easy for you. With proper brainstorming, you get the ideas on what subject matter you should write about. Just pick a paper and pencil and start writing the ideas.
2. Write for yourself first
Let’s forget the readers for a moment. If you are a novice blogger or beginner, write for yourself first. Write anything such as your experiences, food you like, surroundings and so on. We strongly suggest our readers write for themselves first in order to get better at the presentation of writing. Then only move to writing for audiences.
3. Understand what audiences want
If your blog is going nowhere or not getting traffics, it is mainly because you are not understanding the readers want. If they want to learn about fashion related topic and you are going out of topic describing sports, it is certain that readers will not visit your sites again.
4. Be Genuine and always tell the truth
This is true for all bloggers. Always tell the truth. If you are a personal blogger, just be genuine about everything. Even if you have to do some research about some statistics, just do it. Don’t take readers for granted
5. Focus on Quality
Quantity matters. But Quality matters more. Keep your blog post short and precise. What if you write a long post? Chances are readers will get bored with your long posts. Many of them even don’t consider themselves re-visiting your blog ever again. Like you value your time, readers do too. They want to suck the information out of your posts and be done with it in no time. It’s best for both of you and readers if you keep it short and get to the point.
6. Be consistent
Post frequently. If you don’t have time to post but want to be a blogger full time, just forget about it. You don’t have to publish your posts daily. You can publish one post a week but you need to have consistency. Develop your own schedule.
7. Write what you know best
If you write about what you know best, it would be easy for you and you will save more time too. Maybe you are good and up to date with sports-related content, maybe you are a great fashion designer, or maybe you want the world to know about your daily life. Just write it.
8. Write killer headlines
Headlines matters. Specifically, if you want your reader’s attention. Give a killer headlines to every post you write. You will be amazed to see lots of traffic driving through your website.
9. Love your audience
Yes. Love your audience. Always remember, you are writing posts so that readers will read them. If you see comments in your blog post by your readers, reply them. Don’t be rude. If they are not clear about the topic you present and they want you to be more specific, find your time to explain them in detail.
10. Read from other bloggers
The more you read the quality contents, the better you will be at writing. Read voraciously other bloggers’ content and try to figure out how they present their writing. Emulate and model them. Many successful bloggers post their contents daily. Read them. Like we said earlier, if you don’t feel like reading, you will not feel like writing.
We have mentioned this earlier, but we would like to mention it now too. Blogging is not a piece of cake. However, you can be a blogger too. You can live a life and make blogging your full-time profession. Therefore, next time if someone tells you blogging is just a waste of time, don’t listen to them. With above-mentioned blogging tips, we hope you will be a professional blogger.
