| 12 Tips to be a good blogger |
|
| |
 Hey guys!!! I’m trying to collect here and there some useful tips about best practices for bloggers… and I’ve found tons of them, but here are what I consider the top 12… enjoy and GIVE ME A STAR!!!!
- Write about what you know and are passionate about. Just as the people who are best at their jobs are those who love what they do.
- Be unique. It could be your experience, unique perspective, contacts, writing style, or something else.
- Write great titles.
- Write great articles.
- Encourage comments on your blog. your readers will also benefit from the additional insight and varying perspectives.
- Interact with your readers. When someone comments, don’t just leave them flapping in the breeze, post a comment in response.
- Link generously to other websites and blogs in your articles. (specially mine!!)
- Write regularly. Personally, I think it’s best to write at least once a week, but quality is more important than quantity.
- Facilitate RSS & email subscriptions. People will not remember to check your blog every day. You have to let them let you remind them by offering RSS and email subscriptions. I recommend both because while RSS is not really mainstream yet, it is mainstream with hardcore bloggers and you want to accommodate them.
- Register your blog in search engines and directories.
- Comment on other blogs and in forum discussions related to the topic of your blog. Often you can include the name and URL of your blog in your post, which will bring visitors to your blog and (assuming you don’t sound like a total idiot
 ) build your credibility. - Be patient. (cause I'm not!!!)Unless you already have a high-traffic site or are famous, it takes a while to build up an audience.
So, there you have it, the top 12 blogging tips of all time! If you follow these tips you will become a world-famous, unbelievably successful blogger… or not… but definitely one of the two. Agree? Disagree? Got one more you think ought to be added to the list? Post a comment and let me know... |

Excellent! A couple of things I'll add: Try to respond to everyone who responds to your blog. Limit you blogging to once every few days. If you put many blogs out there at once, people will tend to avoid all of them. |

| Ehy Jess that's soooo true about "If you put many blogs out there at once, people will tend to avoid all of them." I like to read no more than one post per writer. But i get consufed when people post sevral post just in one |

| Good blog! Also i think is helpful if you Include bullet point lists I love lists, it structures the info in an easily digestible format. I also like when you Make your posts easy to scan if every few paragraphs you insert a sub heading it make sentences and headlines short and to the point. I love when writer is consistent with his/her style; I really like to know what to expect, I use to stick to that blog. |
