10 Tips for Better Blogging:
1. Blog
Because You WANT to: If you only write blog posts because you want followers,
you may be sorely disappointed. If you hate the idea of blogging, don’t do it.
2. Write
Posts that Interest You: Followers will more naturally find you if you’re
sharing content that matters to you. Sincerity is valuable.
3. Shorten
Your Post Length: Followers tend to visit a lot of blogs, and when
there's a LONG post, it slows the process down.
4. Silence
the Autoplay Music: It's fine to have a playlist or player, but give
your visitors the option to hit play rather than requiring them to hit stop.
5. Eliminate
the Word Verification: Do you REALLY need it? It discourages comments
and slows down the process.
6. Make
Sure Your Page Loads Quickly: If your blog takes forever to load (because
of complicated elements) people will close the window and move on to a
different blog. Streamline your site to allow the page to load quickly.
7. Post
Regularly: You define how often, but when someone visits your blog and
you haven't posted in two months - - what's the motivation for them to ever
return?
8. Promote
Your Blog Posts on Social Media: Utilize Twitter, Facebook, and other
social platforms to share a teaser about your post.
9. Promote
Other Bloggers: When people retweet or share your teaser, be sure to return
the favor and promote their blogs, too.
10.
Be Kind: Remember the “Golden
Rule” and treat others (both in your posts and in your comments) with kindness.
