Best fourteen tips to start blogging

With this short article I would like to list those who - in my opinion - are the 14 most important tips for those planning to give birth to their own blogs.


1. Having objective

"Who does not know the goal, is not the right way", this saying also applies to blogging. So you like being directed like arrows or wander like boats in a storm, you should not miss the road, and to get there - somehow - still at this point.

2. Set a plan

Deciding where to go, there 'to choose how to do it, then later the objectives need a plan.

What are the contents of my blog? Where I will try to post my link? Which marketing tools will help me and who I'm paying?



A good plan, especially if done before you start, facilitates and simplifies the daily work.

3. Finding a niche

Blogs there are too many generalists. Who wants to be successful, should find a niche - writing on a specific argument. This reduces initially a bit 'the target audience of potential readers, but soon it will create an affectionate and loyal group of readers (and this also like any prospective advertisers).

4. Customize design

As in real life, the impression we make to those who look at us - in this case to our readers - is important. Often leaves the attitude with which we read.

The best compromise is beginning to look for a template with basic features and free and then adapted to their needs.

5. Reading opens the mind

Who writes a blog about a subject, should be up to date on current events. For this reason I suggest you attend other blogs and read very, very much indeed.

Read and learn also improves your ability to write and enriched with nuances.

6. Spread the word

Begin to get your blog to those who are more accustomed to bear, to friends, relatives, colleagues. Furthermore, the first impression counts. Do not spread your blog if there are at least 5 articles.

Remember to enter the link if the blog in your profile forums, communities, social networks and mail in your signiture.

7. Optimizer blog

I know, the neo-bloggers hate the topic, do not talk about anywhere else. But then it comes to optimizing your blog, then let a hint: there's a plugin, while blessed WordPress, which will help optimize even if you do not know anything about SEO and do not even know where home is: All in One SEO Pack

8. Maintain regular

Make it a habit to write regularly, no matter whether you once a day or a week, to choose your own pace, but remember that those who write a lot in the near future and then not be heard for weeks, will not have much success nor not be followed.

9. Healing relationships

A blog (and bloggers) would be meaningless if it were an island to develop its contacts is very important, both to other bloggers than to any potential business users.

10. Monitor the competition

Like your blog can be very helpful, learn from the 'competition' and maybe try to apply what you learn in the context of your blog.

11. Responding to comments

Every comment and every email is worth a lot.

Strive to answer questions even more outlandish and thank for any compliments. Anyone who can make contact with readers, creates a personal relationship that makes the writer feel important and increases the chance that contact will become a regular reader.

12. Have perseverance

Do not listen to the gurus who meet online and who swear that you will become rich with blogs, and indeed gain should never be the main reason for a blogger.

Up too much of the economic side, you risk losing sight of each other and to die very soon your blog.

13. Developing a personal style

There are personal blogs, business or theme that at first glance seem to cover such topics boring. Yet they have hundreds and thousands of readers. The reason? Win with their personal style, fun, funny, charming, intelligent. You can have success both with excellent content with a unique style. Sure, have both content and style would be brilliant!
14. And ... have fun!
