It's my birthday blog. A year ago I started the scary-but-exciting road to becoming a blogger and I survived tell (not laugh, many bloggers stop less than a year!). Here are 8 lessons that I learned 4 quickly comes to mind and which are the result of a thorough reflection. I would like to hear what you've got your first months or years of blogs.
The first 4 things I learned
Blogging takes time. There is no cela.Il making is easier if you expand your voice, some viable approaches to learning and the "zen" of the get writing.but it is undeniable that he had cut out in your calendar to write. More time that I had actually intended.
It is difficult to find new things to dire.Du at least initially.He there was already so content well posted by others, how can you possibly have nothing new to say? And yet, in my view, there are always new things my niche, new problems or concerns I hear my clients new ideas, I think that it is worthwhile to share and to invite sur-in discussion short, life arrives and is worth talking about. This is what the world of social media and blogs — is, after all.
It takes time to get followers.Indeed, it takes time to build a blog that follows. But what is the problem with that? It is time something is worth. The key is to not abort, but keep on writing good content regularly, get out and promote, share your ideas about social media, and ultimately will be other take note and return to learn more.
It is not just about me. In the early days of blogging, number of people blog to tell their stories, share their feelings or simply create a forum for their personal opinions. It is less now, while most of the bloggers include the need to provide value to attract readers. The trick is to make it personal enough interesting, but keep the high interests drive of spirit.
4 less obvious lessons
Write authentic, but not from your own point of view.It is tempting as a blogger to talk about what you watch and experience, your unique point of view.In fact, that lets you write a voice authentique.Mais prior to this, you must yourself up and put yourself back in the shoes of your drive. your persona-life drive that talk about what you watch and experience of authenticity.I love these examples:
Graco, manufacturer of strollers and car, Graco Baby who speaks as parents of young children, including stories about baby names birthdays, travel advice for infants and other topics blog seats for the first time parents. Best Western hotel chain, the blog of travel, You Must Be Trippin' ", which gives good tips and ideas for travellers, to have fun." Fiskars makes scissors, Fiskateers, written by a group of women, as loyal clients for their scissors blog.
You can learn to aimer.Comme many people thinking about starting a blog, I started this way with a healthy dose of fear and anxiety .but as I was part of my routine of blogging, has reduced the fear and I look forward to my time blogging .c ' is the rare times in my week whenever I can slow down, thinking about my ideas and see through the eyes of my reader client.
You need to read lots of things to write a lot.Mes early versions were kicked-in-the-black that I looked for what to write about and make a few assumptions about what readers want to read in the year, I had a more open point read what others have to say to learn more about the topics that I want to write, listen to what customers need, and many research blog post idea.the clear lesson is that writing a blog is not to Pontificating-it regarding entering a conversation online.
Write much if you confidences … and not when you are down.many so called bloggers are paralyzed by fear of block writer.I learned to work around it. a few days I have lots of "writing energy" and what I enjoy writing several messages and then schedule the front.my brain is in no mood or other days that I just feel like writing too many obligations.These days, I am happy for the paid posts, or I'll seek guest bloggers help.
Thus, along with me to wish a happy birthday to my blog.I would like to hear what you've got your first months or years of blogs.
