I have heard blogging mentioned a few times later as a link between art and science. If this is true (and I think so), there is no 'right way' to approach a blog if you want to succeed. There are a lot of people who have done a great job with it, and I thought it would be helpful to learn from them.
These 16 bloggers shared one important tip for each blogging beginner. Undoubtedly, even if you are not a beginner these tips may seem helpful.
1) Get ideas from your audience
Create a blog post that answers the most interesting questions from the people you interact with on social media.
This can be a great way to gather ideas on what topics most people would like to read about, which will help your blog grow! One of the best ways I have seen this work is through blog comments or Tweets.
2) Pay attention to your foundation.
Everyone wants traffic, but they don’t want to spend time learning about SEO, social media marketing, how to write great articles, etc.
Everyone wants to be a successful blogger, but how can they do that if they don't know what it means to be a blogger? If you spend your first few months of blogging honing your basic writing skills, SEO, and social media marketing, then these skills will serve as the foundation of your success as you grow.
If you want to learn about writing, I suggest you start by reading the ebook of AdWeek Copywriting.
3) Be honest
"Be the change you want to see in the world.- Mahatma Gandhi"
How often do you meet people who lie to you or who lie to others? After a while, isn't it easy to spot these lies?
Blogging is a tool in which you expose yourself to the world. It can be in the form of text, video, audio, or some other form.
The thing is, if you are honest, your reach increases. People love honest people and will respect you more for your honesty.
Honesty also improves your quality of thinking and sharing because it will make you more empathetic and compassionate. Even if you have lied before, you should leave your past sleep behind.
Blogging is not for our family, friends, or anyone else; it's all ours.
We blog because it is our space to help us reach like-minded people from all parts of the world.
The next time you create new content, stay tuned. Staying honest won't make your article boring, it will just make it more fun, and more importantly, more authentic.
To make your writing more powerful, you can choose a few of my tricks here.
Remaining faithful starts with self-deception.
For example, if you tell yourself that you will wake up in the morning when your alarm goes off, do so. There will be no more 5 minutes or 10 minutes of extra sleep. If you say you're going to do something, you need to do it.
This means rejecting unwanted things and being honest with yourself.
This lays the foundation for making a better person.
4) Stay up to date on your Blog/Website
You already know a lot about your Website - or at least you should, if you write about it. Never take yourself for granted. But that doesn't mean you should stop reading!
If you see him like marketing or technology, you know that the landscape changes almost daily. Even if you are not in one of these industries, there is still something new happening and events happening. So you need to stay informed about what’s going on - otherwise, your content won’t give you a chance to connect with your audience.
5) Stay focused and dedicated.
Dedication and focus are key ingredients for success in anything.
For the next 3-4 months, you need to forget about everything else in your life.
Have a monk-like dedication, and focus only on your blog.
Follow this four-step process:
- Learn, Practice, Apply, Improve.
- Dedicate your 4 months of your time to your blog and I promise it will do enough for you to help you live a dignified life.
- This applies even to anyone who knows nothing about blogging.
6) Write daily:
Writing is a habit and the more you write, the better you will be. And Google loves new content. It's always a good idea to keep your blog up to date. If you have a busy schedule, you should use the post editing feature or at least keep the post frequency. For some time, it is difficult to keep track of posts, in which case you can hire a content writer or hire a full-time author to do the job for you.
7) Give things away
Provide free content that adds value to people's lives "to the point of pain" and they will love you and be loyal followers.
8) Create niche-based websites:
One of the most common mistakes we make when we start blogging is trying to cover from a different niche. When I started Bhat Aasim, I tried to cover Tech stuff, blogging and Hacking, which wasn’t a good idea.
Now, as we compile an article related to how to blog, the rate decreases and page views increase. Having a niche-based blog helps find targeted subscribers.
9) Avoid grammatical errors:
No matter, for whatever reason you write, but you can't afford to make system errors. It gives a bad user experience and also gets worse with SEO on the site. The search engine Eve considers readability and grammar as one of the many features of a search engine rankings. If you come from such a country where English is not the first language, you can begin to get used to learning English.
10) Do not copy content:
11) Set defined goals for blogging your business.
As with any project or endeavor, setting clear goals will give you an idea and a purpose.
Did you know that 70% of consumers read about a company through its blog? Understand what you would like to achieve, so that you can better communicate with your target audience.
Think about these things to establish your goals:
Can you decide your “why” for writing?
Who will your content focus on and target?
What value will your content bring to readers?
Is there a specific tone or voice in which you can convey your information?
Are there any key metrics that you want your blog to help achieve?
What action should your user take on your blog (e.g. downloading, subscribing, subscribing)?
12) Do Blogging with Passion and Patience
"Anxiety and patience are like blogging buzzwords."
Always choose a blogging niche that you know and love to write about. Blogging is not a “get rich quick” plan.
You will have to wait for the money, and it will only come if you plan the right strategy. If your goal is to make money with blogging, then look at another aspect of online marketing but not blogging.
13) Develop a Community Marketing Strategy
Gone are the days when search engines were the only source of traffic. If you target biggies on social media like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, then, you can get a good amount of traffic from them.
Sometimes, it can be too much for a search engine traffic but remember it will not come anytime soon. You will need to interact with people on Social Media in your niche, and you will have to build valuable relationships with them.
Also, social media signals help improve the quality of your site. With the right level of public exposure, it is easier to create a new site position than an existing site.
14) Always Reply to Comments
Some blogging tips I can give you, still among your readers by answering their comments. Readers often like it when their comments are answered and they will come back to comment again.
