Being a blogger is not as easy as it may seem. Right from starting it up to maintaining the profile, it takes a lot of efforts. Today, every other person, especially the youth, seem to be a blogger. Not everyone gets much of attention, but some rise up to gain hundreds or thousands of followers each day. However, with the help of the right ideas and techniques, blogging can be a piece of cake.
How to go about blogging?
- Always pre-plan your strategy – Know the purpose, ask yourself basic questions like – "Why are you blogging? What is your aim? How do you want the readers to react or think after reading your blog?" etc.
- Know your target audience – You must know which type of audience you want to influence. The elites, the ones interested in politics, the artists, the general youth or the foodies etc.
- Know your core topics - The idea is to identify 5-10 core topics for your blog, and then expand on them using different data sources. This will send you in the right direction for finding more ideas for your blog.
- Introduce topic cluster - Topic clustering is an SEO tactic that focuses on topics that help you to boost your search engine visibility and improve your website structure.
- Stay updated in order to update your readers – Make sure to include more controversial topic, trending topics, user-problem related topics etc.Try not to state the obvious and keep up with the experts’ talks about your type of industry.
- Spend time to decide the title/headline of your blog – This is the most important part because the title represents the topic of your blog. In just a short word or a phrase, it should intrigue the audience to read your content. Better the title, the more is the attention.
Hmmmm…
There will come a point, in fact many such points, when you will get frustrated because you are out of ideas or because you can’t seem to please your audience anymore. In such times, use different methods to initiate an idea.
- Ask Quora - Quora is a platform where you can ask a question and random people from all over the world will answer to the best of their abilities. The answers will be genuine, which will help you to know what people think. The answers may also differ, which is what will help you analyse their thoughts.
- Join those Social media groups – There are these groups for bloggers on social media who help each other out. These bloggers range from amateurs to experts. You too will be able to help the members of the group and stay updated with the blogging trends and styles as well.
- Try be unique – Being unique or different from the rest no doubt gains more attention. Unique in a good way of course! (Well, unless you want to be notorious). Do the opposite of everything. Know what is trending, analyse the public reaction and accordingly work with the very same trend with an alternate route.
