What to Write at Your Blog
Written by maychaell on 9:21 AMUnique blog content will make your blog a run away success. The content must be good and useful. To do this is a challenge and a barrier for newbies. Having set up my blog and paid for the hosting service and now what to write about?
Questions such as will I have an audience for my blog or will I interest people out there to read my posting will crop up. Or will I be wasting their time or mine too for that matter. Can I sustain my writing for a long time? How long?
Even a popular blog can only stay on average of 30 months. That means it will be in orbit in the blogosphere for about that length of time and then head for natural death. Well, if I can stay that long I will throw a party in my garden.
Do a quick research. Visit your popular bookstore and look for books on blogging. I manage to find a number of well-written books on the subject. I also dig into the internet and purchase few good eBooks. There are also so many related articles found in the internet. It is also advisable to visit as many sites as possible that blog on same topic as you have in mind. This does not mean that you are stealing their ideas. But it will give some tips on how to improve yours. All these will help you build up your confidence.
I share with you what I thought I have learnt.
# 1. If you have a hobby or something that you would like to improve on, you are on the right track. Unique ideas can be developed from here. Take this subject up and develop it into a series of articles. This will set the theme of your blog. Things will be easier for you since you are knowledgeable and have interest in this subject matter. I hope that interest will not die down soon.
# 2. List down all the possible topics and subtopics that you think you can write on. Start with 20 first. If you can do this you will be busy for the next three months. You are already on your way to writing your blog content. Your topic may be futsal but your subtopics can be shoes for futsal, jerseys to wear, how to organize tournaments, etc.
#3. In the meanwhile, learn the technique of replicating a topic. What it means is how to make several related but standalone articles starting from one original article. You will be surprised that when you get used to it, writing your blog content will be a breeze.
So don't get fazed. Start your blog now. However, please don't leave your day job yet.
Therefore my advice is try and make your blog content as unique as possible. By making your content good and useful, you will have a successful personal blog.
