Once you know the purpose of your blog, it will be easier to set your objectives and aims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason for creating a blog can be many:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why are you starting a blog:<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing to support people<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Promoting your business or website<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharing your knowledge or expertise with readers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making extra money<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or just for time pass and fun<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blogging_Tips_%E2%80%93_Lets_Get_Started\"><\/span><b>Blogging Tips &#8211; Let&#8217;s Get Started!<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Designing_and_Development\"><\/span><b>1. Designing and Development<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have clarified why you want a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bizifyblogs.co.uk\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business blog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, start to think about its design and development. Looks are important for visitors, as it&#8217;s the first thing that connects them to your blog. Add some explicit features and pages to attract your visitor&#8217;s attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_a_Good_Blogging_Platform\"><\/span><b>Choose a Good Blogging Platform<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be perfect from the start by selecting an ideal blogging platform. Many beginners use free blog hosts like<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleepingcomputer.com\/news\/security\/wordpress-force-installs-jetpack-security-update-on-5-million-sites\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Blogger to save money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, we never recommend free blogging platforms. These platforms don&#8217;t give complete control of your blog, limited customization, and design options, and you even can&#8217;t make money online from these.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_Ideas_from_Other_Blogs\"><\/span><b>Take Ideas from Other Blogs<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reviewing other blogs really helps. It gives you an idea about designing your blog and what features you want in your blog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compile a list having your preferred color choice, template pattern, pages you want, and other features that attract you. It will help you in choosing a perfect blog theme online.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Have_an_About_Me_Page\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>Have an About Me Page<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The blog readers would like to know about the blog owner, so don&#8217;t forget to integrate the About Me page. It should have your details and your image, which helps in building a bond with them. They will visit your blog frequently if they feel connected to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Have_a_Featured_Sidebar\"><\/span><b>Have a Featured Sidebar<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have a content-rich sidebar for your blog.

Planning your Blog Content<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After developing the blog, we need to create content for the blog. Consider the following tips before you write your blog posts:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Consistency_is_the_Key\"><\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><b>Consistency is the Key<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many bloggers often overlook consistency. It requires a lot of hard work and time to build visitors but it&#8217;s easy to lose them. With consistency in blogging, the readers feel that you are a dependable blogger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research has revealed that regular blogging has resulted in higher subscribers to your blog.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Share_your_Knowledge\"><\/span><b>Share your Knowledge<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t feel scared to express what you do. Many bloggers hesitate to share their core knowledge because they fear giving the &#8216;special recipe.&#8217; But, in this digital world with internet access to everyone, there is no special recipe. Now you can easily search for anything online. So, open up and share the best you have.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Creating_Content_and_Writing_Blog_Posts\"><\/span><b>3. Creating Content and Writing Blog Posts<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing blogs and creating content is really interesting. Following are some blog writing tips for creating good blog posts:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Images_Build_Interest\"><\/span><b>Images Build Interest<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having images within your blog post makes it more appealing to readers. It is a fact that images within a post get more views, likes, shares, and comments. Sources like Pixabay and Unsplash provide you with good-quality and copyright-free images that can be used for free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_Captivating_Headlines\"><\/span><b>Create Captivating Headlines<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even great content won&#8217;t matter if the headlines are terrible. Readers make their decision in a couple of seconds whether to scroll through the post or not. But, an attractive headline will attract visitors to click on your post. Keep the headlines to be simple, bold, engaging, and powerful.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keeping_it_Short\"><\/span><b>Keeping it Short<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest lesson that I have learned over time is that the reading length of blogs should be 2-3 minutes. Most of the readers don&#8217;t even go through two-thirds of your content. The post should be short enough to be captivating and informative to detail the topic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proofread_and_Check_your_Content_before_Posting\"><\/span><b>Proofread and Check your Content before Posting<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t be in a hurry to post your content. When finished writing, stay away from the blog content for at least 24 hours and then read again. This break will provide you a fresh mind to find mistakes that you might have overlooked before.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_to_Write_Daily\"><\/span><b>Try to Write Daily<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good writing needs practice. It&#8217;s about making a habit of writing something every day. Not necessarily a blog, but it could be an email, tweet,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/06\/09\/facebook-will-let-all-employees-who-can-work-remotely-to-request-full-time-remote-work.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> post, or even a diary entry.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Always_End_with_a_Summary\"><\/span><b>Always End with a Summary<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a fact that most readers skim through the content and only read the end. Be sure to highlight the key elements that will be in your reader&#8217;s mind for a long time. Do you know that only 30-50 percent of readers read till the end of the article? You sure would not want to disappoint them?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts_on_Blogging\"><\/span><b>Final Thoughts on Blogging<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blogging is challenging, but with regular practice, you can refine your writing abilities. If you enjoy writing, then blogging will attract you. Be sure that you provide quality to your readers. To become a versatile writer, you need to blog regularly, build a network, and promote posts online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many bloggers online that you should reach out to, build your group, volunteer for writing, and do guest blogging.
