I am a firm believer in taking everything you hear with a grain of salt. This is true even when it comes to tips on blogging. Everyone does it their own way. It is up to you to take what you believe will work for you and use it or tweak it then leave everything else behind. So I have for you MY tips to blogging.
- Be YOU. Don’t try to be anyone else.
- There is no shame in not having a niche. Life is a perfectly ok niche.
- Post because you want to not because you feel you have to. If you are forcing yourself to post your readers will notice. Great content comes from the desire to share something.
- Check your shyness at the door and join a community site (like this one). Blogging is part of a community and if you put nothing in you will get nothing out of it.
- If you want to do more than 1 post a day then nothing the next day then do so. Don’t waste a great post because you already wrote something. Some people will tell you to save it to post later. I find that when I do this I never post that great post because I am no longer feeling it or it is no longer relevant.
I hope this has helped those of you who like me, feel they have to do something a certain way. Never lose sight of why you started blogging and it will continue to be an enjoyable experience.
