How To Start Blogging In Right Way
Quantity vs. Quality
Time and again we hear people say that quality, and not quantity, matters. Well, in the case of blogging, it is not totally true. Sure, quality does matter but so does quantity.
- If you update your blog by just posting a single-lined opinion or probably a news update and not write anything else, the readers will definitely be disappointed.
- When they logged in, the readers prepared their minds for yet another mind-blowing piece of writing like the ones they previously got from you.
Instead when they open your blog page and see the almost unnoticeable piece of writing they get less inclined to visit the next time. And eventually will stop visiting your blog altogether because they might decide its not worth it.
Keys To The Rating Lock – Key-Words
Getting a higher rating and increasing visibility on any search engine is the heart’s desire of every blogger in blogging.
- To see your blog post at the top of the search results is flattering, to say the least. But to earn that, you need to add more and more keywords to your title.
The more variety of related words used in your title, the higher the chances of your post being displayed on the search engine and people opening it up and viewing it.
Bring In The Views
The viewers of your blog are entitled to their opinions about your work.
- Letting peoples interact and communicate what they like or don’t like.
- Getting their advice on what you could do to make your blog even better is more often than not a healthy practice.
Improving the blog will keep the audience coming and alive and attracted and keep the traffic moving on your blog.
Going Away Is A Sin
Make your blog interesting and impossible to leave.
- Add quality to your blog, that screams out loud to the readers not to even think of going away.
- Give your audience a reason to keep on returning to your blog.
To do this you need to follow the steps above and keep a quality in your blog that keeps it alive and virtually breathing.
Personalize Your Blog
Your viewers are all normal humans with everyday lives. There is nothing more effective to attract their attention than an incident here and an example there of the silly on-goings of your daily life in relation to the theme of your blog.
This helps you connect to your readers on a more personal level and again makes it even harder for them to leave your blog.
