I have seen a few of this post around and I decided to give you guys and inside on how I blog and do things around here. It's nothing fancy, no due dates, no set dates to post, I just go with the flow and write about what I feel like at the time. I do however have a few tips or you guys on how to start a blog or at least on how to have a nice quality blog that is appealing to the eye.
T I P S O N B L O G G I N G
+ Good quality images. This is always something that I pay very attention to when creating a post. I like to give my readers a good image with good quality so that my readers feel drawn to reading the post and so that they can have a better understanding of the topic I'm talking about. TIP: check out Tumblr & Kaboompics for great images. Also pay attention to the size of the image, no one likes to look at pixels.
+ Well written & short. I like to keep my posts as short as I can depending on the subject. I like doing this because I also prefer reading a post that is short and right to the subject. This way I don't feel bored reading the post and end up not reading it. TIP: Always check your grammar, there is no shame in using a bit of online help. I use Google translate when I'm in doubt with some words.
+ A true title. Sometimes people lie to "embellish" their post titles just so that people would click on it... I don't. I prefer to create a title that states exactly what the post is about, this way people will actually know what they are about to read.
+ A good blog design. Please.. don't use those outdated blogger templates, in my opinion I think they make a blog look cheap. But that's just my opinion of course. Just get a simple template from an online source and it will have a completely different life. TIP: find a good template Here or Here.
+ Draft, Draft, Draft. Whenever I have an idea for a post, I create a draft on blogger, I write some topics for what I want to write and I write about what type of image I want to use on the post. You don't need to post something right when you get the idea. Take your time to write the post and leave it in the drafts until it's ready.
+ Keep a schedule.. or not. I prefer not to keep a schedule when bogging, simply because I don't like to make a compromise with my readers that I may not be able to keep. Just do what comes naturally to you.
+ Tools. Every blogger needs her tools to create the best post she can, I love making a collage of wishlist or just to share some items you guys may like. TIP: Use Polyvore or Primetag to create collages and to earn money with clicks.
