16 Blogging Tips For Beginners

Below I will show you how to blog and best blogging tips for veterans which will help you to achieve and take your blog to next level and make it successful blog very quickly


1) Be Yourself- I have seen many newbie bloggers who simply adopt the style of other bloggers how they blog and exactly try to be like them, not all the fingers are same you cannot be like them as this does not apply that you cannot be better yes you can absolutely but never try to copy other styles of blogging be yourself try to write your blog post in your ways which will make you stand from rest of the crowd
Try to tell your story about your failures and mistakes you did in early days of your blogging and how you overcome it this will put a tremendous impression on your readers



2) Provide Quality and Value- As mentioned earlier you cannot get away by simply writing  50 words blog post and hitting publish button you will not get much benefit from it instead try to write good solid and lengthy blog post at least 1000 words which explain the topic in great detail and insights and Google will definitely give better rankings for your blog posts in search results



3) Avoid Spamming- As the verge of SEO is all over the internet many bloggers try to all kinds of stuffs to increase their blog rankings and backlinks as backlinks helps a lot in improving rankings in search results they simply go to any free backlink generator websites which offer 1000's of backlinks for free but they are all from low quality sites which will get you penalized also many bloggers participate in paid link building strategies stay away from all such things and try to be legitimate and adopt genuine and natural ways



4) List Building- This is one the most important blogging tip for beginners that you must always start building your email lists from beginning no matter what, you can ask to any successful bloggers what is the biggest mistake they have done during their initial coarse of blogging and they will tell you that email list building why it important because they are most loyal visitors and readers of your blog and also if you are into affiliate marketing they are the one's who are going to get you some sales not any other organic visitors stumbling across your blog, One suggest I would like to give is if you don't have the budget for getting paid email marketing software like Aweber then you can go for free services like Mailchimp, madmimi,InInbox and many other But start building your email list now until it's to late to realize


5) Avoid Money Making- Yes there are blog who make heck lot of money by blogging but if you are just started blogging then for some time stop thinking about how to make money and concentrate more on building content for your blog as time passes later for sure you can think of making money out of your blogging but doing initial phase you have to just try to make your blog as useful and helpful for your readers to get that kind of readership and loyal readers who will help in your money making process later


6) Avoid Over Optimizing- You must have heard the term Keyword stuffing avoid doing this and don't try to over optimize your blog post thinking that it will get on Google first page it will take some time to climb the stairs and with time you blog post rankings will improve, I have seen bloggers who simply put their main keywords all over the place in their post don't do it try to make it more user friendly and use your keywords only few times where its needed



7) Social Media Engagement- According to Google they are now giving priority to blog posts which have got more shares and like on various social media sites as this reflects how many people are liking your content which indirectly sends signal to Google that your content is of great quality and people are liking it
One way to do this is to put social media sharing widgets in your blog post so it easy for your readers to share and like it with ease I would recommend to use Digg digg plugin for this


8) Keyword Research- Internet have grown huge so the keyword competitions in search engines as usually big blogs and website sitting in couch at top it no why that you can get ahead of them for highly competitive keywords and this is where many bloggers as well as some pro bloggers do mistake instead go for low competitive keywords as you have better chance for good rankings in search engines you can use  keyword research softwares like long tail pro or semrush for finding suitable keywords or you can also use google keyword tool


9) Professional Design- A Blog with neat and professionally designed theme gives good user experiences and don't make your blog design look cluttered with installing too many widgets and gadgets or plugins which will make your blog load slowly and decrease user experience If you are using wordpress you can go for Genesis theme which are great for SEO as well as it will professional look to your blog


10) Try To Be The Best- Here is what I believe instead of copying other work it better to do some research about your next blog post and try to put your words ahead in much better way as you can even though might be not the best in the industry but surely you have to try to level best to make it best



11) Publish Evergreen Content- This is one of my favourite blogging tips that focus on blogging about ever green content because these content is going to stay for long time in search results and people needs and you can drive lots of traffic over the time as your ranking increases


12) Improve Writing Skills- Blogging is all about writing and what if you have poor writing skills try to work on your writing skills try to be write more interesting and appealing content instead boring articles which you can find on thousands of other blogs and websites Also try to spice up you blog post with attractive images, try to work on your grammar as well as before publishing any blog post proofread it thoroughly also read the post yourself or ask your friend to read it to get the glimpse about how you your blog post sounds To learn great writing skills you can start following copyblogger it great blog with all necessary writing skills


13) Create Scannable Content- World is very busy so the internet users they don't have much time to read blog post which consist of single paragraph with no heading or subheading this is bad practice Especially for beginner who just starting blogging this is very important tips for you all that try to make your content scannable so busy users can get overview of it by just going through your blog post include bullets and lists also make proper use of h1 and h2 tags


14) Be Consistent- Most vital in your blogging strategy must be you have to be consistent in blog posting and try to regularly update your blog atleast once a week if you don't have much time for blogging but make it a habit to regularly contribute your blog which will improve your rankings in search engines very quickly
It should not be like posting 5 blog post on 1 day and no more post for 5 weeks always frequently update your blog to get more traffic


15) No Hide And Seek- Many pro bloggers and big players usually keep their best secrets within themselves even though they pretend to be more friendly and transparent with their readers but they are not they are someway or another play hide and seek sort of game with their audience So for newbie bloggers don't do this and try to be as straight forward as you can with your readers the more you give the more you will get benefited out of it also if you are using promoting any affiliate products mention that it's affiliate product and you will get commission out of it Don't get anxious with it you can see more sales if you are straight forward rather than hiding it behind the shield


16) Stay Motivated and Inspired- Last but not the least stay motivated and inspired for blogging because this is most important especially for bloggers who have just been blogging for few months that it takes time to see success but when you are there then there is no stopping So don't get demotivated give some time and have patience and ultimately success will be at your foot steps.
