Are you thinking of starting a blog to promote your business or profession, or do you just want to share your thoughts on a subject that you love? Blogging is either free or inexpensive, and you can get started in moments by creating a blog on a site like Blogger or WordPress.
Let's get started!
1. Ask yourself what it is you're passionate about, what is it that you know a lot about that you want to share with others? If you decide to write about something on a regular basis and keep your blog fresh with new information, then consider writing about something that fires up your passion or something that reflects you!
2. Here's some different approaches to creating your blog....
Teach something. If you're passionate about a particular subject, and you have a lot of experience in that area, then you can offer your knowledge to both people who are new to the subject and others who are as experienced as you are
Provide the latest news and trends. Write about the latest developments related to your topic. You want to be someone who's viewed as the ultimate insider so that you can continue to increase your blog's readership.
Make people laugh. Are you the funniest person you know? No matter what your subject area, you can present your experiences and thoughts in a humorous way that will really resonate with people.
Inspire others. Have you overcome an obstacle, such as a serious illness or a difficult life experience? Do you want to turn your challenges into something that will inspire others to overcome their problems? If that's the case, then make your blog inspirational.
3. What NOT to blog about.....this takes a reasonable amount of common sense not to reveal family secrets, or talk about people in your workplace or school. Always ask permission to talk about someone you know.
4. Read and follow other blogs to see what's happening and what else is out there. This will help you stay fresh too.
5. Name your blog..... brainstorm for name ideas, ask your friends, and go for it. See if you can incorporate your theme in the title.
6. Research keywords related to your subject to help people find your blog. This site is a pretty amazing resource: http://ubersuggest.org/
