Cute Suggestions for New Bloggers

Posted by Jaren as Blog Tutorial, Creating a Blog, Tips

When I started blogging I didn’t know what to do. I asked my cousin to teach the ways of blogging, but to no avail just keeps on laughing and tells me to learn to “use the force my young padawan”.

Finally after months of trials and errors finally found a blogging gig and I’m starting to get the drift of it.

Now I know my tips may or may not work for you, but it sure did work for me. as you can see from my blog : the QuickStop, here’s my 11 hard learned tips,

1. KISS ( Keep It Simple, Stupid… hehehe ) no need to be technical, keep short, simple yet intelligent.
2. Blog in a topic you are comfortable and knowledgeable in.
3. Post Quality articles,
4. post at least twice a week and create a posting schedule
5. Post Original articles, if not then remember to state your source in respect to the one that posted it ( but remember original content is better)
6. Check for grammatical errors (be sure to proofread your article or better yet let another proofread it for you)
7. Be conversational, ( add humor, give a smart quote)
8. Read other related Blogs
9. Give intelligent Comments
10. Respond to the comments people posted on your blog
11. Accept constructive criticisms

It’s not much but its something…
