Good blogging?

Good blogger?

Here are some rules to live by if you want to become a good blogger.

1-     First, you need to write a post everyday. I know, most of us can’t write a post everyday. Sometimes, we just can’t find the energy to write 10 words on a piece of paper. But, some other days, we can write 10 pages with the same times that we took for the 10 words. Then, you should set a side the extra that you produce for the days that you are less creative. Having a bank of prepared post is the best way to keep on posting everyday.

2-     Content is king. Write interesting stuff. Keep your blog an interesting place to visit daily. If you want people to come everyday to your blog, you must give them quality.

3-     Keep on learning. Take one hour a day to learn something new. Learning is what will keep you on the edge to write good stuff. If you keep on learning everyday on a subject for 5 years, then you’ll become an expert in that subject.

4-     Promote your blog. You have to promote your blog everyday. Do something to get it out there so new people will come across it. Even if you don’t see that much return with the quantity of people visiting your blog, keep on promoting. What you’re planting today will bring you the traffic tomorrow.

5-     Answer the comment and be nice doing so. In fact, be nice with every people that comment your post.

Deserted blog on the web...

Blogging....  

It's open to all, but only a few will find the drive to really make a good one. Sorry, but most Blog are empty, boring or are just used as a cheap way to promote something (as a splash or a web page).

I see so many empty blog that are polluting the web. Pages and pages of stuff that have not been updated in years. What a mess.

If you think that you can take care of a blog, then do it. But if you don't have the energy to write a few pages a week, then don't. It's the simple truth.

You can have guest on your blog, it's great. As long as you are writing more then your guest...  It could be a good idea to meditate on the reason why you have a blog. Maybe, the blog is not in your goal anymore. And if so, you should really think about finding a way to get some new content with the help of guest writers.

I saw people spending money on blog that are filled by paid writer. You should spend your money on a book instead of a blog. Because a book can be sold for years and years. A blog when it's becoming outdated, it isn't worth as much.

A blog is something for people who likes to write. It's simple, if you don't like to write then don't open a blog.

Yes, it's very nice to have a private domain and your blog on it. It looks professional. But if you don't fill it with good stuff, you'll be throwing money by the window. You should start with a free blog first. Then after a year, if you think that you can keep it fresh and up to date go for your own domain.

I remember when the first blog were popping on the web. It was all about people who were writing about their life. Simple day to day stuff. The ones who were good enough to write one post a day rapidly became stars. Now, people are opening a blog just because they eared that they could make money with it. Yes you can make money with a blog, but you need to have a great blog with a lot of traffic. And you need to come out of the sea of blogs out there on the web.
