I have a list of 10 to 15 blogs that I try to read everyday. While it can be hard to keep up with them all, I hardly ever miss a post. And if I do, catching up is always at the top of my priority list. Of course, I am always adding new reads as I learn more and more about the blogosphere.
If you are interested in reading other blogs similar to this one, check out the three links below:
There are two things that these blogs have in common. First off, the quality of every post is top notch. Since quality is what I strive for, it is the first thing that I notice in other blogs. Additionally, these blogs are regularly updated. In my opinion, a blog that is updated at least once per day with quality content is worth reading.
Do yourself a favor and make time to read these three blogs on a regular basis!
Every blogger starts in the same place, the beginning. They had to figure out how to get started, increase traffic, and maybe even make money. If you are thinking about starting a blog, but are scared of what it takes, follow the tips below.
1. First and foremost, you need to focus on writing quality content. Even though it may go unnoticed at first, over time content will turn into traffic. Simply put, without good content you will never attract any readers.
2. Make a strong attempt to get in touch with bloggers who have interests similar to yours. If you are blogging about video games, find others who are doing the same. Not only will this help you to stay up to date on the industry, but they may also be able to help your blog succeed.
3. If you are hoping to increase traffic, and maybe monetize your blog, you are going to have to work long and hard. There is no easy way to succeed without hard work. Remember, it may be hard work early on, but as time goes by you will begin to reap the rewards!
These three tips may be geared towards new bloggers, but all in all, they can be applied to anybody with any level of experience.
As you may remember, I have been talking a lot about increasing my blog output to two posts per day. Since I have decided to move forward with this, it has led me to think about when I will write each one of these posts. With one per day timing is not a huge deal, but as you increase the output this is definitely something to think about.
I usually write my blog post sometimes in the mid-morning hours, and then post around lunch or a little bit later. This seems to be working just fine, and it gives readers the chance to catch up on the latest post no matter what type of lifestyle they lead. But when I add another post per day, things are going to get a bit trickier.
To start, I am going to continue adding the first post around lunch, but then follow it up with another in the late afternoon. Two posts are not overwhelming, but it will add more value to the blog, while hopefully helping readers in additional ways as well.
So when do you write your blog posts? Are you on a set schedule, or simply moving forward each day as you see fit?Â
