In blogging, you don’t need to have any degree or diploma so other people will call you as a blogger, in short, everyone can be a content creator and blogger. Also, there’s a lot of platforms where you can use to start your blogging career not only platforms powered by cryptocurrency but there are also websites where you can earn through advertisements once your website is monetized.
One of the advantages of blogging is there is no requirements, and everyone can join, age doesn’t matter as what they have said. If you are a single parent, student, kid, or a person who love writing and sharing their ideas are always welcome in the world of blogging.
On the other hand, blogger should have a good characteristic specifically knows how to read (reading books)—and exploring new ideas so you will become one of the best bloggers in blogging industry.
Now, in this article, I will show you the different things that you need to know before starting a blog where many people didn’t know about it!
What are the secrets of a blogger?
Know your niche and write about it
When writing a blog, you should know one thing, your niche. According to Meriam Webster, niche is a place, employment, status, or activity for which a person or thing is best fitted. It simply means that you need a topic where you best fit or what you want to share as a content. It may be about fitness, finance, travel blog etc.
Additionally, if you have your own domain, I suggest choosing one topic and niche that you want to discuss so your contents will be consistent and look pleasantly to your readers. Some readers want a consistent content, if you started a blog about finance, most of your readers will expect that your next coming contents are also about finance, and it is one of the importance of knowing your niche.
Scope of your blog
As a blogger, you should know the scope of your blog. If you are writing a content about finance, you should know the scope of it and give a reliable information so you will not lose your potential readers. One of the examples is travel blogs, obviously, if your blog is more on travel, it’s better if you experience it by your own. In my experience, I wrote an article about Hiking in Mt. Tagapo and it’s easy to discuss if you, yourself is the one who experience it so you can explain the feeling and describe the environment easily.
Promoting your content by social networking
One of the best feeling as a blogger is when the people are reading your article and increase the number of people who read your articles especially if you have your own domain which is one of the reasons why the blogger paid. To make this possible, you need to promote your works on different social media platforms, so you expand the number of your readers. One of the best strategies in promoting your works is social networking.
What is social networking? According to Investopedia, social networking is the use of internet-based social media sites to stay connected with your friends, family, colleagues, customers, or clients. Social networking can have a social purpose, a business purpose, or both, through sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Social networking has become a significant base for marketers seeking to engage customers.
In short, social networking is like interacting to different people so you can grab their attention and visit your works. Most of the bloggers already knew this technique as they are blogging for a long time.
I have three people that I know who knows social networking works based on their activities as a writer in read.cash such as @MicroReylatos , @andrianlover , and lastly, @CryptoMax . Well, no doubt why they have a lot of readers, their works are one of the best contents especially CryptoMax, he said that he’s a blogger and I really admire his works!
Know your target readers
As a blogger, you should know your target readers and what are the things that people want to know. In this kind of technique, it’s hard to know it especially if you can’t directly ask them. If that’s the case, you need to use your observation skills on what are the possible things that people want to know. Also, you need to choose the best keyword so your content will be listed on top of recommendations.
Knowing your target readers and your niche are related to each other, if your niche is writing a travel blog, you need to find and seek for a potential reader where you can share your content and loves reading the type of your niche.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
Knowing the basics of blogging is very important as it is one of your foundations as a blogger and content writer, without the basic knowledge, you can’t be one of the popular bloggers and gain potential readers.
In writing a blog, there are also things that you need to consider and know it before you start your career.
