6 Basics Of Blogging

If you enjoy writing blogging is a great fun. You can think of blogging as writing a diary but the difference here is that the whole world will be reading it. It’s a place where you can express your thoughts with others. To start a blog, you have two easy options to go for BlogSpot or WordPress as these have made it extremely easy to start blogging right away. There are different templates available which will help you to decorate your blog and make it even more beautiful which will please readers.

Let’s begin with basic components of a blog – first of all you should choose a website content management system (or CMS) then choose the name for your blog. You can start with free domains as well. Now when you will be ready to write your first post there are some things that need utmost care. Title is really important, think of it as a heading and extremely engaging summary of your post. It must be user engaging and persuade readers to click on it to further read about it. Take cue from news as how news channels break news with extra saucy headlines.

You can categorize your blog according to your need so that you can post in the similar category and topics. It really helps in organizing a blog and also helps readers as they can choose a category and read all the similar posts about it. It will help to increase the bounce rate of your site (means that reader will stay longer on your site).

Body of your blog post is really important as well. Here you will share the main content of your writing. It’s good to have a 300+ words post but there is no define rule as how many words are good. But it’s better to have pillar articles in your blog because it really helps to rank it well on search engine. A pillar article means 1000-1500 words content. People usually share the long content as they think it’s authentic and cover the topic fully.

Permalink is the URL that will be with your every blog post that you publish. It’s a good practice to optimize it as well and include keywords in it. Comments are also an important part of blog because here your readers will be sharing their thoughts as what they think about your stuff. It’s good to have a feedback mechanism but make sure it increases your motivation rather discouraging you as there is not going to be only good comments.

When it comes to what to write on your blog then it’s your own thing because you can choose any niche on which you think you can write without any hassle. You can choose sports, movies, business, education, cricket, football, art etc anything that inspires you to write. Start writing and share it as much as you can. Drive traffic towards your blog as it will help you to earn money as well as to write qualitative content for a long time. It will be a rewarding experience but don’t forget that patience is the key here.
