Building a New Blog? Here are Some Helpful Tips to Get you Started and set you apart in your niche.
Make your posts sustainable: This doesn’t work for all types of blogs, but I prefer to make posts that will be as helpful to someone three years down the road as they will today. This way if you have a bit of a break from blogging, you will still get traffic that will find your posts useful.
Make it visually appealing: At the very first, spend time making your blog look good. Even if you don’t have a lot of followers to start with, if you have a professional look to your blog, people will label you as a credible source.
Make it personal: Don’t be afraid to let your personality slip into the equation. People want you to sound professional, but not like an automated robot. Think of it as a conversation with a friend. Tell them relevant stories and let them enter your world of blogging.
Write only what you are genuinely interested in: If you write a topic that bores you, people will be able to immediately tell, and in turn, they will also be bored. Instead, write about topics that excite you, and your enthusiasm will be contagious.
And last. . .
Have Fun!: Enjoy your blogging experience, it can be a great way to express yourself and connect you with like minded people, even if you are blogging for a business.
