Words are great tool to express oneself and with the growing technology,
words with electronic images and videos, packed in a blog post can be another
great weapon of self-expression, reaching millions of people as an audience.
Many of you may have thought of starting a blog but may have no idea how
or may not even know if you should really start blogging and need a little
boost.
Let me tell you a little about my experience in Blogging. As a child
growing up, I was always a blaber mouth, who loves to talk and express what is
in his mind and let people know it. Expressing it as words in paper became a
great way for self-expression for me. As a teenager, I wrote few articles in
local periodicals and magazine and then, I had no platform for me to express
myself and an audience who wanted to hear what I said. Then, I had an idea,
about a platform where my words could be heard and then my journey as a Blogger
started, where I started writing all I wanted to share with the words.
Starting a Blog: How to Start Blogging?
Starting a blog is quite easy and all you need is to sign up in a
blogging platform like blogger or wordpress. Basically I prefer blogger as it’s
associated with google so all my accounts in google can be connected with my
blogger account like Youtube, Gmail, Picsa, etc. Well, it is basically free so
you can sign up with Blogger for free or even use your existed google user name
and then start blogging. The very moment you start posting your first blog
post, you’re a blogger.
Moving Ahead with the Blog: What to Blog
about?
Now this may be another question you may ask about and the answer to
that is not with me but you yourself. There is no topic or category I would say
is the best to blog about because the best topic to blog about is the topic in
which you are comfortable, well informed about and enjoy writing about. For instance
for me, I love to blog about my travel experiences, about food and restaurants,
movies and music, about social issues and about the internet and blogging
experiences. There are the topic I enjoy writing about hence these topic
becomes the best topic to write about for me. For instance, some people follow
fashion and love it so fashion blogging becomes really successful for them. If
you’re a stay home mom or a housewife, blogging as your experience as a house
wife or as a mom could be perfect for you. In the same way, if you’re a typical
teenager, who goes to school and would love to share your experiences living as
a teenager and give advices and tips to others like you, then your blog may be
quite good for that.
Sticking
to a Blog: Write More and Move Ahead
Getting a miracle follower following, in just a couple of days is
impossible. Blogging and patience goes hand in hand so you need to be really
patient while blogging as well as you need to write more content with quality
and quantity as a basis. Some people may write few blog posts and then give up
or get bored, but this happens to everyone and just sticking to it, writing
more, especially trying to discover your niche of blogging and writing more
interesting articles frequently will help a blogger a lot.
Finding
a Audience to your Blog and Promotion
After all the blog posts you write, your blog also needs an audience.
The audience you can get in your blog is from search engines like Google and
for that you need to write interesting and unique article as well as focus on
SEO, about which I would discuss later in details. You can also manually share
your blog posts to your social networks like Facebook and Twitter which has
proven to help a lot to promote your blog and get more traffic.
Well, newbie bloggers and soon to be bloggers, I guess that’s enough for
you to know to start and there is a lot more to know and discover in the
journey of blogging. So, if you haven’t started a blog yet then go ahead and
sign up with your blogger account and start blogging.
