Blogging Tips for New Bloggers, Blog Smartly!

Blogging can be fun, profitable and enjoyable; however, if you are a new blogger, the whole concept may feel daunting and overwhelming. But, with a few helpful tips, you can become a good blogger, you can learn to blog smartly, to make money from your blog and you will find that it can open up many opportunities; both professional and personal. Many bloggers treat this occupation as a small business and there are plenty of money saving tips around to help you make a profit from your blog.

Concentrate on blogging useful information

One tip that will help is to blog as often as you can. Some say that a person should blog at least four or five times a week. The more you blog, the more you will have people come to your site. They will return to find out new information in your blog, especially when your blog concentrates on solutions to people’s problems. For e.g., if your blog is related to refund PPI, try to include ways by which people can reclaim their money, when PPI insurance is mis-sold to them by financial organisations.

Do NOT forget SEO works

Another tip is to use SEO to the fullest advantage. All your posts should have excellent and effective content. Proper usage of keywords should be emphasized upon. SEO – Search Engine Optimisation – is important because the “right” words will lead people to your site quickly and effectively.

It is also important to have a presence on sites such as Google, Twitter or Facebook. Choose one or more of these social sites and create your profiles in them. Provide the links in fan pages so that people can comment on them. Reply to their comments. The more interactive you are, the more likely they will check out your blog.

Keep in mind that people like to know things about you. By sharing a few things about yourself, people will want to know even more about you. However, be careful not to give out information that is personal; that can backfire on you. People want to see if they have anything in common with you such as cooking, reading or enjoying new fashions.

A picture is better than one thousand words

Another blogging tip is to take good pictures, just Google them or use Microsoft Clip art to add colour and form to your articles. People enjoy relevant pictures and make them want to check out a website even more. Your pictures don’t have to be perfect; they just need to show colour, activity and thus attract interest of visitors.

Your writing style is also very important as to whether people will come back to your blog; so, develop a writing style you feel comfortable with and always write in understandable and clear English. When writing an article, begin with a paragraph that grabs the reader’s attention, followed by descriptive sentences that retain his interest on the subject.

Short Advice to Blog Smarter!

To conclude, to blog smartly all you need to do is be consistent with the job, use SEO to your advantage, have presence on Twitter or Facebook, include some great pictures and develop a writing style that works well for you.
