Blogging is brilliant, nobody can deny it, its fast, sometimes free and a brilliant platform to launch yourself or your business on. So now how do you make blogging work for you? If you have thought about owning and running a blog then what is stopping you? www.blogger.com is free and literally takes just minutes.
Deciding what to blog about is probably the most difficult choice and decision you will have to make. So lets get down to it, to find a topic/subject/interest for your blog I suggest that you do what you enjoy. What hobbies, passions or interests do you have? What do you enjoy reading, researching or talking about?
Whatever it is as long as it is legal you can write/blog about it. So why not start by writing down everything you enjoy doing, what appeals to you, what makes you happy and more importantly do you genuinely enjoy the "said" subject enough to write about it day after day for the foreseeable future or are you just in it for the money? If you are just in it for the money then I don't think you will get that far, If you want to produce informative, fun helpful and useful blogs for people to read then please carry on.
Once you have written down all of your ideas, look over your list/s what stand out and grabs your attention if anything? If nothing does then give it a break and write down come more things after you have had a cup of coffee, if you have found something that really truly and deeply interests you then congratulations you are ready to start your own blog.
To be successful at blogging I think there are a few main things you need to consider including:
1. You have to have a good blog topic, a good topic is ideally something that people search for or want to find out about on the internet, but not something that has been saturated by hundreds before you.
2. You have to decide how much time and effort you want to give and put into your blog, for example it would be ideal if you could post on a regular basis as nothing turns blog readers and fans off quicker than a blogger who posted 5 times a day for a month and then posted nothing for 2 weeks. Try to keep your posting some what consistent and regular so that you can get, keep and maintain peoples interest.
3. You ideally need to be promoting your blog once it is up and running, you need to get it out there, in search engines, in blog directories and so on. These days just starting and writing in a blog is not enough, you need to find readers and plenty of them if you want to have a successful blog in your hands.
I hope these tips and ideas have given you some food for thought. I wish you every success with your blog/blogging.
