How to: Blog -

Whether you’re considering starting up a place online to call yours or want some motivation to work on your incomplete blogging goals, these quick and effective steps will have you checking at least one of your new year’s resolution!

1. Find your niche

What makes you different from the rest of the crowd? Channelling your otherwise weird passion online or having a distinctive structure, for example, will make your blog more memorable and give it character.

2. Be consistent

Schedule your posts so readers know when to return for more. Ideally post at least twice a week and if possible, have some posts pre-written for days when youÔÇÖre caught up with that last minute assignment.

3. Get the look

Besides quality content, to stand out from the crowd youÔÇÖll need to have a layout that pleases the eye. Either customize your default design via YouTube tutorials or if youÔÇÖre willing to spend, purchase a web design that you know will work for you.

4. Get the name

Purchasing a domain will instantly enhance your credibility and guarantee you more views. YouÔÇÖd be lying if you said youÔÇÖd rather visit www.thisismyblog.blogspot.com than thisismyblog.com. If youÔÇÖre committed, itÔÇÖs value for money with prices starting at ┬ú5.99 for two years.

5. Network!

If you like a blog, give the owner some well deserved love! Engage with fellow bloggers, collaborate on posts, attend your local blogger events; there is no one else who will understand your #bloggerproblems!
