subject: New to Blogging [print this page] If you have just started blogging, you may be excited by joining the blog world. The veteran bloggers know that sometimes writing content can be difficult on a daily basis. You can get blog burnout but here are some tips to prevent that and keep you writing. Decide why you have chosen to create a blog. Why did you start blogging? Is blogging for personal reasons? Is blogging to share your favorite recipes? Is blogging to get some feedback about affiliate programs? Is blogging to practice you writing skills? Is blogging to set up how your dieting program is going? After you decide what the purpose of your blog will be for, then you can get started easily. If you decide to blog for personal reasons like a diary format, decide on how much you want to reveal online. There are many mom bloggers who blog about their family life but choose not to display pictures of their children, their names or ages. This is for safety precaution. Do remember that your blog will be read by everyone so do be safe in your choices of what you upload on the internet. There are now options on Blogger where you can have your blog set up by invitation. This means that the blog is locked to everyone else except the readers you have allowed to have access. If you stumble upon a blog like this, you will get the message that you need to gain permission from the owner because you are not allowed to view it. This could be an option for you if you want to protect yourself more. If blogging is for business purposes, decide if you want to share some personal information so that your clients can learn more about you. If you are strictly going to discuss business, you can decide what you want to focus on. Do you want to write and post about new products? Do you want to write and post product reviews from customers on a daily basis? Do you want to write about the locations where your products are available? You can even set up your blog with press that your business has received. There is no limit to your blog creativity. Choose how often you blog and if it is on a daily basis, a trick to save time is to draft up posts. If you find you have so many ideas, you can whip up a rough draft in no time. You can choose a certain day of the week to write up your posts for the week and upload each one daily. To write up a great post, make sure your title is catchy so that readers want to read the whole post. Make your post engaging and invite readers to subscribe to your blog. Have the subscription easily accessible to readers so they do not have to look for it. Finding the purpose of your blog is key to figuring out what you will write about. Once this is achieved, your writing will come easily.
