My Blogging Tips

As I've been blogging for nearly five years now and somehow managed to get over 22,000 page views. I thought I'd share with you some of my tips on blogging which maybe helpful to any of you starting a blog or have a blog but just want some tips. I'm here to help you.

Let's get started.

1. Enjoy it

My first tip is kind of the most important one when it comes to blogging and that is to make sure you enjoy it. The beauty about having a blog is that you can literally blog about whatever you want. It's your little space of the internet that belongs to you. Just enjoy what you post and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Blogging is meant to be fun after all. Whether you write a short post or a long post. A blog post is still a blog post at the end of the day so just have fun with it.

2. Be Consistent 

If you post regularly then it will show your readers that you are consistent. Whether it's once a week or once a month  then your readers won't get bored every time then come to your blog and expect something new from you on a regular basis. If you post once in a blue moon or just every two months or even on the odd occasion then you might not get many readers. Just dedicate some time to your blog. Plan a few posts. Be consistent and I promise you that you will feel good about it.

3. Plan

Sometimes all you need is a plan. Have a notebook dedicated just for your blog. Write down blog post ideas, figure out what you want to say. Sometimes flicking through a notebook where you wrote down some ideas will inspire you during those times where you have bloggers block.

Here's my notebook that I use for my blog:

Also don't be afraid to view other blogs for ideas. I don't mean copy their posts but just put your own perspective on the topic. Sometimes you need a little nudge in the right direction and soon you'll be full of ideas.

4. Share

It's all good and well just posting your blog and forgetting about it. However, you probably won't get many views. Especially if you're just getting started. Share your blog on social media. Post every time you make a blog post with a link to your blog. Also using relatable hashtags can help because people may come across your blog through the hashtags so remember to share your blog. Trust me you will get more readers.

5. Use Pictures

Sometimes a long paragraph of words on your blog can make people not bother reading. Make your posts more interesting with your own pictures. Sometimes having pictures in your posts can make it look more appealing and interesting. Just make sure they're your own pictures and not copied from the internet. It gives your blog a little more originality. Also making a header for every blog post can attract a reader. It lets the reader know what the post is about and it gives you an image to share with your social media. So remember to use pictures.

Anyway, that's my five tips for blogging. I hope they were helpful to any bloggers out there and maybe you learned something from this post. Let me know if you have any blogging tips that I missed below.

That's all I have to say right now. I hope you enjoyed this post.
