A Summary of My Blogging Tips so Far
Posted by Mariella
I started writing for Desperate Curiosity August of 2007. While it hasn’t been such a long time, this blog has witnessed my growth as a professional blogger. My struggles in trying to learn the ropes while advising people on what I learn at the same time are all chronicled here. It’s been quite a journey for me, and while I cannot condense everything I’ve written in a couple of paragraphs, here is a summarization of all advices I’ve dispensed so far.
1. Building your own blog isn’t so hard. Of course, you’d have to choose between using free or paid blogging platforms, and after that, choose your blog design, but all in all, it’s very enjoyable. Or you can hire a blog techie to take care of all the backend stuff for you.
2. Of course, if you don’t want to build your own blog, you can always blog for others. Finding a blogging gig requires you to be knowledgeable about your topic and the mechanics of blogging though, so make sure you still know the basics.
3. Writing posts is the easy part if you know your niche well, but there are times when you just have an eclipse of ideas and you don’t know what to write. When you’re inspired and can think of a lot of ideas for posts, make sure to save some for rainy days.
4. Don’t forget to network constantly and form working relationships with other bloggers. Social bookmarking web sites are your friends.
5. There are times when you over-commit, and get sick, you know you need a vacation. Don’t forget to rest too!
6. You have to manage your time when you handle multiple blogs and need to speed blog. It takes a while getting used to, but you’ll get it after a while.
7. Last of all, never forget to have fun with what you’re doing or it won’t be worth all the effort.
Hope you learned something from everything I’ve written since the start. Thanks for dropping by Desperate Curiosity to read my work. I wish you all the best in your future blogging endeavors.
