Having a Good Topic in Mind

Writing a blog can be difficult for those who don’t know what they are doing. However once the basics are learned, blog writing can be creative and a lot of fun as well. Creating a blog has a lot of technique to it much like riding a bike or solving a math problem. Obviously the first thing you need to do before you even think of considering blogging is knowing what exactly you want to blog about. You can’t have a blog if you don’t have a topic to blog about, that just doesn’t make sense. The more interesting the topic of choice is to you, the more interest you will have in a certain topic, the likelihood of your blog being successful increases drastically. Your readers will know right off the bat if you are passionate about your topic or you’e just doing it to get by. A blog’s success always starts in the mind and the heart. Once you have a topic that you are compassionate about, you’re ready to start your blog.

Sticking With a Topic

It’s difficult to maintain a reader’s interest for blogs. However it if you make good blog content, your blog will blossom. Making a blog is about your interests as well as the interests of your audience. Once you start a blog on a certain topic, you will attract a certain audience. Over time, your blog will grow. However it will be really awkward if you create a blog on sports, and then turn your attention to climate change. That transition will in term lose the interest of your audience because they came there for sports to begin with. It’s very difficult for a blogger to start up a blog, then change topics once you have a good audience for a specific topic. Sticking with one topic is the best approach for a blog that’s just starting out. However as your blog grows and your audience gets bigger, people may start to like your blog for your personality and blogging abilities rather then just a specific topic. However maintaining one topic to start out a blog is ideally the best place to start.

An Appealing Headline

In order to get a reader’s attention. A blogger can’t get away with the title “How to Make Popcorn With a Microwave Oven,” no, that’s boring. As a blogger, you need a headline that was intrigue people to want to read your blog. “How You Can Make a Sensational and Delicious Snack That’s Easy to make for Move Night,” See the difference? The second headline is much more intriguing then the first. People may want to check out the second simply because it has trigger words such as sensational, delicious, or easy. There’s nothing people like more then something that’s good as well as easy to do. The more trigger words you use in your headline the better as it will attract more people.

These are my thoughts on how to write an appealing blog as well as maintaining your audience. Now that you have the basics in mind, go out there, and start blogging!
