Diversify!

Yes you are writing a travel blog or food blog but it doesn’t hurt to travel outside your comfort zone once in a while. You can even add a tab where you keep these miscellaneous posts. Also understand that writing about the same thing can induce writer’s block but if you mix and match two topics then you would much more creative.

Update!

It’s very important to update your posts regularly i.e. if there was a mistake correct it or make it or make amendments in the posts you have already uploaded. Blogs need to at par with the new trends happening in the world. No matter what the blog’s main concern is it should be applicative to the present world the reader is in. facts figures keep changes so if you have posted some then do update them like the rates of cheap Melbourne flights or any other statistic.

Reply!

It’s as simple as that reply to the comment of your reader it makes them feel good and valued. The reply can be a short “thanks” or even a smiley but make sure you do reply. Being engaged with your reader would also give you insight as to what they want to read about or need information- giving you ideas to write about.

Learn the tech

It may be hard and a laborious task but it will help you in the long run. Be self sufficient and learn the inside of how the site works. Learn a little CSS or html so that next time you hit a glitch you can sort it out yourself.

Back up

Keep a back up of all your data- photos, posts and any other content. You never know when your computer might decide to crash on you, so be prepared for the worst. Having a back up would mean you could bounce back in no time.

Presentation

Use attractive colors, clutter free, user friendly and custom [p2p type=”slug” value=”what-you-need-to-know-about-responsive-web-design”]design[/p2p] as much as possible. Even if your posts are great they won’t get their due recognition this way. Investing in custom design might seem expensive now but later when the views build up you will thank yourself.

It helps to ask

Ask your audience what kind of post they want and on which topics do they want it. Brainstorm with them or give them options so that you can write about the chosen post. This will show your readers that you care about their view too and the bonus is you would have a great blog post idea.

Good luck and happy blogging!
