Learn to Blog

Creating a blog can be easy but creating a popular blog which has the potential to be visited by hundreds or even thousands of people can be difficult. Success will not come so easily without any effort put in. If you really want to work online from home using blogs, you have to be prepared to make it your business to create good blogs. Below are some simple tips to learn before writing a blog.

1. You need to write

Fear not; you don’t have to write like an award winner. As long as you write and write regularly, you can create your own blog. When your journal or information written is interesting and visitors are hooked to it, they will revisit your blog to read more. What’s more, these readers might recommend your blog to their friends and relatives making your blog more and more popular.

2. Getting your readers’ attention

What makes readers want to come back to your blog and read more? Information which they want to know or learn more about will attract your visitors to come back. How to be interesting?

• Focus on a subject and avoid writing about different subjects in one blog.
• You may like to write more dramatically when writing about your own life experiences.
• Include some sarcastic humor but avoid offending the readers.
• Always starts with very interesting introduction because that is the part which is doing the majority of the job to capture the readers’ attention.
• Regular postings. One suggestion is to post every other day or at least twice a week if you are busy.

3. You need to market your blog

Readers will not come naturally if not do any marketing to your blog. Even a bricks and mortar shop in a crowded shopping centre needs to market their shop, let alone a blog. Posting on article directories and forum are two very common ways to market your blog. What you normally do is to include links at the end of your articles or signatures. With these links, readers who come across you articles or postings in forums, they can easily access you blog to read more.

4. How to monetize your blog?

Below are several ways you can earn money using your popular blog.

• Advertise for others in your blog. Adsense is one example whereby you will earn money when the links are clicked.
• Join related affiliated products and earn commission.
• Sell on own PLR products in your own website.
