Starting this blog as been awesome, especially with blogging about my favorite automaker. Here are some tips for new bloggers. These aren't in any particular order, just some thoughts off the top of my head...
Pick a blog topic that interests you.
It doesn't help your blog by posting on a topic that you dred writing about. Find something that you will go all out to write about. Find a topic that you have an opinion on. This will help create your voice to your publics.
Be a consistent blogger.
Set a goal to blog on a consistent basis. Normally, I'll blog once a week. If you can, do that. Once a week is a good starter to blogging. If your topic is newsworthy, then there should be enough info to cover each week. You can also bring up old topics and compare them to new ones. Your consistency will lead to consistent followers.
Invite others to your blog.
It's huge that your blog invites readers to join in effective two-way communication. Ask your readers to leave comments. It's a good way for readers to come back and to share your blog to others, not to mention keep the conversation about your interesting topic going.
Go outside of your blog.
Go out and find other bloggers who are blogging about similar topics like yourself and gain a greater audience. Not only could you gain the audience of a similar blogger, but vice versa. Its a win-win situation.
Be yourself.
Your blog is an extension of you and what you want to portray to your audience. Loyal readers will keep coming back to hear what you have to say. Put your personality into your blog and create a consistent tone for your posts. Readers dont read because they just want news. They value your opinion so they'll look to you for it.
So, take these tips to heart and start blogging! Comment and let me know how your blog is going and what is an important tip for you!
