If you’re thinking about starting your own blog, congratulations! But before you begin, there are several things you need to know so that you can maximize your blogging experience and start building your audience as soon as possible. From picking the right domain name to creating a Coming Soon page, here are 10 tips to help you start blogging like an expert from day one.
1) What are your goals
One of the most important parts of starting a blog is deciding what it is you want to accomplish. Before you start blogging, make sure that you know what your goals are. Would you like to show individuals how to follow through with something? Do you wish to tell others about your life? Are you looking for a creative outlet? Knowing what your goals are will help guide the decisions that come next.
2) Who’s your audience
Blogging isn't as simple as just picking a topic, opening a WordPress account, and writing something. There are a few things you'll need to consider before starting your blog. Your audience will vary depending on what your blog is about and who you're trying to reach with it.
3) How will you find an audience
If you want your blog to grow, it's important that you first start building an audience. The best way to do this is by finding your niche and then identifying who in your niche would be the perfect person for you to write for. This can be done through market research or by getting in touch with potential audiences and asking them what they're looking for. Once you have a sense of who will make up your audience, it's time to focus on how you're going to reach them. Here are some of the most popular ways bloggers connect with their audience:
- Social media - Press coverage - Engaging with readers on a personal level - Contributing articles or content regularly
4) What if no one reads it?
Don't worry about anyone reading it. The point of a blog is to share your thoughts and ideas with the world, and who knows, maybe someone will find it interesting enough to comment on or share with their friends. There's always the chance that someone will stumble across your blog in Google and decide that you're an authority on the topic, so they'll add you as a contact. It all depends on how much effort you put into blogging, but chances are at least one person will read what you've written.
5) Marketing blogs is not easy
- Marketing blogs is not easy. If you want your blog to be successful, you're going to have to put in the effort. If you have a good idea, it means you have reached half of the battle. The other half is marketing and promotion, which is where most people fail because it's not as fun or glamorous as coming up with a great idea.
- Marketing blogs can be done on your own or with the help of others.
6) Think about how long it might take
Publishing content to a blog is an incredible method for imparting your considerations and thoughts to the world. It can also be a fantastic source of income, but it's not without its risks. When you start blogging, there are a lot of things you need to consider before you start publishing content on the web. That's why we've put together this list of tips for anyone who wants to start blogging and make sure they avoid any beginner mistakes.
7) What skills do I need?
You don't need any special skills in order to start a blog. All you need is something you're passionate about and the time and motivation to blog on a regular basis. However, if you're looking for a way to monetize your blog, then these are some of the skills you will want or need:
- Copywriting - Copywriters write marketing materials that advertise products and services. If you can write a compelling sales pitch, then this skill will help tremendously with getting traffic coming from search engines and social media sites, such as Facebook. If copywriting isn't your thing, there are plenty of other ways to make money blogging such as affiliate marketing
8) Do I have enough time?
You will need at least a few hours a week to devote to blogging. Some bloggers are able to maintain their blogs as a side project, but most people who blog for a living spend at least 30 hours per week on their blogs. Keep in mind that this doesn't mean you'll be working for 30 hours. It just means that you'll be spending 30 hours each week with your blog, whether it's writing posts, reading comments, or doing research for future posts.
9) Do I want to be a writer? (Can I write?)
Do you want to write? Do you enjoy writing? I'm not the one who can answer that for you. But I can tell you this: If you don't like writing, or if it's something that gives you anxiety, then blogging probably isn't for you. Likewise, if you are already a writer and enjoy writing for other platforms, but not in your own voice, then blogging may also not be for you.
10) Decide what success looks like.
It can be difficult to know what success looks like when you're starting out blogging. It's important to define what your goals are so that you can measure how successful or unsuccessful your blog has been. These goals will help you answer questions like How much time should I spend on my blog?
- What type of traffic do you want?
- What is the purpose of your blog?
- How often will you post?
- What is the goal of each post?
