Been a while now (more than a year now) since I started blogging as a hobby, it is the joy of so many people out there to become a blogger because of one reason or the other, many do make research and still want to engage in blogging while some had to back off because to them blogging isn't an easy task to do (am not say it is easy). No blogging isn't an easy task because if you don't know some tips you might actually get lost and this will make you get tired of it (happening to many).
If I have to tell you my story been a blogger you will keep laughing but that will be another day. But doing those time till now I tend to realize some things, if you meet someone who is into blogging can only advice you to find your passion and write what you know best, have heard that couple of times. Seriously you don't expect them to give you all details. No No No, one thing blogging deals with which is making research. Yes you deciding to engage in this must have some certain details or ideas of what you want to do, if not make sure you do that.
Before starting, there are some things you will have to know (very important) and there are some things you will have to avoid, bloggers do make mistakes, lot of mistakes and some dont even care about the consequences.
When writing a post never write it to your self interest alone, many do this, blogger need to know that their blog doesn't belong to them alone so why are you blogging if it is just for yourself, I believe the audience own your blog, you blog to create impact and bring solution and ideas to their daily life and help them one way or the other. So you gave to think out of the box
Never write with the aim that they will read everything you wrote, there is something readers do, they try to pick out points from articles the want to read, if it contain stories with no actually benefit to them, they neglect it. When writing always make your point known, write as if you are making conversations.
The last point I will give before putting a stop is something that is very important which is post formatting. A post with no format is like a soup with no ingredients, no one will eat it. Audience get attracted to your post firstly because of how you arrange, outline and edit the post. Always make sure your post is properly formatted before submitting. It is important
