5 Expert Tips for Beginners at Blogging

Blogging Tips

If there is one trend that has quickly caught on with today’s generation it is that of blogging. A blog is a platform for any individual to express his views, ideas, photos, and thoughts to the world and gain social popularity. It has quickly become a method by which businesses are gaining customers and generating awareness by starting entertaining and successful blogs that quickly escalate and captures the interest of like-minded customers.

Whether you’re someone who is contemplating starting a blog or is struggling to make its popularity and gain some space on the social scene, there are a few key ideas you should keep in mind which will take you a long way to gain better popularity and get your blog noticed. Here are a few ideas you should keep in mind while working on your blog:


Content is Key

Many bloggers find out the hard way that content plays a huge part in the popularity of any blog. Content has to be written from two perspectives. The first perspective is of course what your customers like and should be based on their tastes and preferences. The study in which posts of yours receive higher views and more engagement in the form of comments and shares and you’ll know where your customer’s interest lies. 

However, you should also focus on the SEO aspect and write content that is SEO-friendly. If search engines fail to acknowledge your blog and it doesn’t show up in search results, your purpose of reaching out to viewers is lost. Hence make sure your content serves both your customers’ needs as well as meets SEO requirements.


Find Your Calling

When choosing creative blog topics, remember to play to your strengths and write what you’re comfortable with. Do not try to unnecessarily write about topics you’re not too knowledgeable about as this will make the blog very general and will not engage many users. On the other hand, if you write about a specific topic, it’ll help you gain recognition both with viewers and search engines. Doing this will help you remain interested in writing blogs too as it’s something that you yourself would be interested in and will bring out your creativity better.

Marketing is Key

Most people assume writing a good blog will do the trick and viewers will automatically come to read about it. You have to give attention to marketing tactics to draw viewers. Make sure to use social media to the hilt and share your blog on various platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc and request your friends to share it around. 

You can comment on other posts and this will help you draw some traffic as well. You can interact with other bloggers. You can also check what topics are trending on Google and find hot topics to write about to get a good search engine result page ranking. No amount of marketing effort will go in vain and you’ll be able to reap its benefits in time.


Comment Away

One of the biggest advantages of digital marketing and social media interaction is that it creates a two-way channel of communication. Traditional marketing just blurts out its opinions to users without giving them a chance to express their opinion. With blogging, make it easier for your users to comment, and do not unnecessarily add steps like asking them to write captcha code or complicated things as this will stop a few people to bother with comments. 

Also, avoid writing sensitive or negative topics with which people don’t want to be associated with. If your content is good and commenting is made easy, people will be more than happy to leave their views.


Accept Negativity

It is important to understand that your blog is an expression of your opinion and ideas. It is not always possible that everyone would agree with it or take it in a positive light. Do not lose hope or fervor due to a few critics or negative views on your post. Do not pick a public debate with negative commenters and focus on writing content that people appreciate. It’ll bring both kinds of people to your blog and it is up to you to block out the haters. You can’t stop them so it’s better to ignore them and focus on your strengths.


Conclusion

With these blogging tips in mind, it would help you take your blog to great heights. Blogging is a great technique to interact with the world and once you understand its nuances, you’ll surely find it an interactive and engaging activity!
