For a beginner, there is always a pressure to write an engaging blog and bring viewers to his/her blog. No doubt, with time you will gain experience and get more views on your blog but still its important to write a good blog which can get the attention of viewers. In this post I will tell you the 6 most effective ways to write a better blog.

Blogging can turn out to be very beneficial if it is done right. You can make decent amount of money from it. Writing a good blog is nothing less than an art and it can also be very stressful. As a beginner, there are number of things you learn while writing a blog. All these things help you write better and attract more people to your post, but there are some things which you should know in the beginning to score better and write successful blog posts.

Effective ways to write a better blog

Make your post SEO friendly. SEO is Search engine optimization and its important for your post to become easily findable. You will see the SEO analysis at the bottom or side of your blog’s new post page and from there you can see your SEO score. Everything is mention at the bottom about various things that effects your score. Always try to get more than 90 in your SEO. Learn from here about How to write SEO friendly blog post?
Your headline should always be stronger. There is a headline analyzer on the side of the page on wordpress where you will write your blog. This headline analyzer helps you make better headlines for your post. Your headline analyzer score should be more than 70.
As a beginner, write your posts on the latest and trending topics such as new movies or shows, recent controversy or event, latest technology or you can choose to write on some evergreen topics such as health & fitness. Trending topics will always help you get noticed.
Keep the language of your post simple and universal. You don’t have to be Shakespeare to write an effective post. Just use simple words and sentences so that everyone can understand and relate to your content.
Use relevant images or videos to make your blog post more effective. Don’t forget to give credit if you are using someone else’s image/video. Also add the links of your earlier related posts if there are any.
Don’t overuse the affiliate links if you are using any. I have done that mistake. Affiliate links are that which you use to earn some money whenever someone clicks and buy something from that link. Try to add such links in appropriate proportion.

Although there is no one formula to make a successful blog but these tips can help you write some effective blog posts. Always write a blog about the topic you feel most comfortable with. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself over it. Hope this post was helpful to you, do share it with your friends.

Blogging: 8 important things to know before you start

If you are a beginner and thinking of starting a blog then you must be reading about it on internet or watching videos on youtube to get better understanding of it. You will get number of articles or videos talking about how you can start blogging and earn money from it. But there are some things that no one talk about. There is more to blogging than just buying a domain and starting your blog.

To start a blog you have to get domain name and hosting name for your blog. These two are the most essential things to start your blog. If you want to know about domain name and hosting name or how and where you can buy them then read this post Why you should start a blog now? In this I have talked about all the basic details you need to know about creating a blog. This will help you to create your blog but there some important things to know before you start blogging.

Here are some important points to keep in mind while starting a blog

You will have to create different pages for your website or blog. Its not like you have bought domain and hosting name and you will start writing and publish a post. No matter what platform you choose for blogging you need to create different pages. Your blog must have separate pages like home page, contact page, about page and blog page where you will post. If you choose wordpress for blogging then you can use in-built themes which already has those pages and you just need to edit them so it can be little helpful.
You will also need various plug-ins for your blog to function. You will need plus-ins for almost everything you want to do on your blog. For better themes, analysing performance, social media sharing, adding affiliate disclosure. Honestly it can be little overwhelming with so many plug-ins and it can affect the speed of your site.
Your blog or website should be legally compliant. Legally compliant meaning it should have the page that discloses the information of how you will use users personal data. You must have privacy policy page on your blog to avoid any legal action. You can use privacy policy generator to generate a privacy policy for your blog. WordPress also have a privacy policy page, you can add disclosures in that according to your blog.
It can take months before you make your first income. Starting earning from blog can take a quite a bit of time because to monetize it you need viewers. Getting audience for anything is very difficult task and it can take you months to get first 1000 views.
Even after getting your first income from blog it can take much longer to make considerable amount. Once you get viewers you will need google adsense to run ads on your site. More views on ads means more money. Google adsense pay according to per 1000 views. So to earn a good amount you will need to have many thousand viewers. If you use affiliate marketing to earn from blog then you will need your audience to buy from your links and it can take a long time to build that relationship between you and your viewers.
You will need to be consistent with your writing. Write and publish posts atleast once or twice a week for months to gain viewers. You may feel demotivated at times but you have to patient and consistent with your effort.
You will spend more time thinking about promoting your blog than writing it. Getting first 1000 views are the hardest. You will have to promote your blog on social media, among your friends and family. Even after all that you may not see the boost in views. So you will think more about how you can promote your blog than thinking about what to write. Actually there is nothing wrong in that but just don’t totally neglect your writing. Remember to be consistent with it.
You may feel like quitting but don’t. There may come a time where you will think that you have nothing more to write or you are not getting expected viewership, just don’t get bothered too much, try to stay calm and focused. You can take a few days break but don’t leave it half-way through. Be patient and keep on writing, you will get what you are wishing for.

These things are must to know before starting a blog. Hope this was helpful for you and if it was then do share it with your friends. I greatly appreciate your support and wish you well for your venture.
