Hello Newbie Bloggers! If you just started to check out my blog and are new to blogging, you came to the right place. Here are my newbie blogging  tips:

1- Make a schedule. For example, write daily or weekly so your readers can know and expect that you have a new article every day or week. I try to blog once a week or twice per two weeks. 

2- Put buttons on your website. Put “Pin it”, Facebook like, share on Twitter, and share on Google+ so your blog can be shared and viewed more. 

3- Put your blog on social media. On Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and more to get your blog more noticed. The key is to put it where you’re more “popular” . 

4- Put photos if necessary. Photos make things more visible.

5- Plan ahead. Think of topics (and write them down before you forget!) you’re going to write about so you don’t have to think about it while you’re on the computer. Or if you’re not like that (like me) your idea will come to mind on the computer (seriously, it’s like the computer cures writer’s block) 

6- If you’re a business, blogging is probably the best choice. Your company will be heard way more than you think. You can update about new changes to apps or anything about your brand. Also, it’s probably better to put your brand on social media ,too.

7- You might be thinking, “I have nothing to write about!” Even I thought that at first. But there is always something on your mind to blog about.

8- Always stick with what you’re writing too. Try not to go off-topic when writing your posts. If you’re trying to stick with a cooking blog, stick with it and don’t really write anything other than it because your readers expect you to always write about that topic (although most WordPress.com blogs I’ve seen mostly write about travel, lifestyle, and photography, so in that case: write what you want)

9- If you’re on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, post your timeline so your readers can check out your social profiles. If you don’t know how to do that, go to My Site>Porfolio>Settings>Widgets> and add one your widgets.

10- Actively participate in the Community Pool. To go to the Community Pool, click here. Scroll down, and you’ll find a Community Pool post. Read the article and comment a link to your site.(you’ll probably find me there) Many newbie bloggers go to the Community Pool to gain popularity and interest on their blogs. Also, many expert bloggers go there to help out rookie bloggers. You may get comments like,”Ooo! I really like your theme!” or “I love the way you write.” But you may get some constructive criticism on your blog. That is a-ok because that person only wants your blog to be better.

11. Tag your posts so that it can gain more popularity. By tagging the post, bloggers can search that post and find your blog on that tag.

Blogging has many advantages. It can make you a better writer and thinker. It can improve your writing skills. Whether you have one viewer or one thousand, you know you’re being heard. Blogging is fun because you’re saying your piece and you’re seeing it online. No matter how old you are,  you express your creative self. Happy blogging !
