Some Tips About Blogging Based on Experience

Tweet

Starting a blog is relatively easy. You sign up and within minutes you can start blogging. The major problems however, are maximizing exposure of your blogs, acquiring good readership and maintaining both - maximum exposure and good readership. When I first started "blogging", I didn't even know what the term meant. But I had to do it as it was related to some "project" that I had to finish. Within minutes I had my blog, but what to do with it? I had to research in the internet to find out. I successfully posted my first article and from then on, I learned through trial and error. I would like to share some pointers with other newbies in the blogging world: These are the significant things I learned from my blogging: 1. I had to find ways and means to maximize my blog - one of the methods that I found effective was submitting my Blog's URL to ranking sites and to search engines. At first my blogs didn't appear in any of the search engines but after I have submitted them, slowly, my blog's topics began to be indexed by the search engines. 2. It is not enough that I write a post. I should interact with anyone who comments on my article. I found out that the more I replied to the comments, the more that the readers came back to read more. Replying to these comments gives the idea to your readers that you care for them. 3. Joining a community will give a big boost to your traffic. This is especially true if you're still a new blogger. MyLot is a good community and I like how they operate things here. Interacting with members here could also help you increase your traffic. The community that I have joined is the Entrecard Community. Just like MyLot, the admin there are very helpful and are willing to HELP the members to achieve their goals. This community introduced me to a lot of international blogs which have amazing contents. 4. Lastly, you should post regularly. Posting at least 3-4 times a week, makes the search engines index your posts more frequently. Not posting for a long period of time will not give you exposure because the engines won't be indexing your sites. With these pointers, I hope bloggers out there would glean some useful tips they could apply.
