Make money blogging, some bloggers are allergic to, others do nothing more. I do not think it really is to make money with your blog, as long as you continue to honest ( which I told you last week extended ). I often get questions via email and I see too often come into question blogger communities. How can you make money blogging? There are several ways that I will bring to the attention today!
Is it well, make money blogging?
Well, for the money I would not start blogging. Do you really want to live here then your blog should be quite successful? If you have followed my other tips could do it, but the fact is that much time to sit and a guarantee I can not give you. Honestly, there are relatively few bloggers can earn a lot with their blog. Many bloggers blogging as their full-time job are also just started as a hobby bloggers. Only when they were gradually this was their job, but before they are going to make this they have put in quite a lot of time for which they successfully got nothing back. Do not assume that it will be different for you.
Yes, there is definitely well-deserved something, sure. But before you start you do not like to expect to be rich.
After some research, I came to the conclusion that you really becoming a full-time salary blogging requires a great blog. There are also relatively smaller bloggers blogging full time, but whether they pay a full-time earn not sure. I personally have been several options as to earn my blog, but a blog of my size (and combined with the subject) is not able to generate a full-time salary. Yes, just tell me honestly; although I do have a lot doing it that just does not.
However, it is of course not that you necessarily need full-time blogging. You can also view your blog as a job or a small perk, every little bit helps, right? Totally fine if you do not see it sit, nothing wrong with you or wants. There are a number of ways you can make money that I'd tell you.

advertorials

Advertorials are paid articles. These look like regular editorials, just so a blog post, but this is one where you advertises for a particular service or product. Often the client wants you here some left turn and/or that you convey a certain message.
This is something you harder own hands, because when a company is interested in an advertorial only then we will mail bloggers. You may find yourself going around mail or companies want to buy an advertorial with you, but I guess that will not work well (I have no experience so I can not give you guarantee). You can you log in example Blogmij or any other company that communicates between companies and bloggers for advertorials.

Affiliate links

Affiliate links, you may have never heard of the blogger. I will try to explain what an affiliate link means and how it works.
An affiliate link is a link that you refer to a shop, and when through you than anything sold, you get a certain percentage of the amount. This often relates to very low levels and does not deliver soon much is my experience. But of course, all depends on how many people read the blog post and decide to buy the product.
Notable programs that can use its Xanax and the Globe affiliate program. On that first connected many different web shops, when Bol.com Partner Program you refer, you guessed it, to Bol.com.
This is especially useful if you already would write about something, then you might as well put an affiliate link it. But watch out: your opinion may be unconsciously influenced by the fact that you can make money through those links. Mention So whenever you use such a link, so readers feel are not fooled.

Google Adsense

The program ads with Google. Who does not know? These are ads that you usually see in sidebars on blogs, or between or among the text. It's pretty easy to put on your blog.
How much you earn you can not say Google, but actually is the same as the affiliate links. With blogs like my size is absolutely not rich. But it is certainly nothing and all the little help.

Ads through a media agency

Much bigger bloggers affiliated with a media agency that regulates the ads for them. The media agency is an intermediary between a company that wants to create online advertising and blogger.
bloggers are approached generally when media agencies interested to represent your blog. But I think you might itself could be bold and to present yourself and your blog in a media agency through which you would like to be represented. I have no experience, but you could try it! Keep in mind that it must be worthwhile for a media agency to stabbing energy and time into your blog if you have just two weeks now I would not even knock on them.

Sell an item

Commonly known as "Internet entrepreneurs, but less well known among the fashion beauty and lifestyle bloggers. Selling a product. Overall it is my opinion that many Internet entrepreneurs sell air, just nothing. A lot of shouting above. But there are also entrepreneurs, bloggers on the internet that deal with this very clever and good; selling a valuable product.
Many Internet entrepreneurs sell e-books or programs where readers get guidance from them. Usually, it's all over online and there is not a physical product, but of course you can sell anything (as long as it is not air, please!). Think especially after what suits your blog when you want to sell something.
I have no experience with it yet, but this subject has already been written on the web. So if you start looking, you can probably find more information!

Honesty

I wrote last week about honesty, transparency, and authenticity. A reader picks go through it as you are blogging for money, no matter what. Maybe you like to earn a full-time without money here are honest, but in a moment you fall by the wayside. And that would be a shame, right?
Therefore, I would advise you, to be honest. Honestly, when you make it anywhere. Of course, I know that there are people who think blogging is an easy way to make money, 'they' all want some passive income. I do not hold people to start blogging in this way, I just think it is not working. I think it works better if you like blogging and when you write about one subject is so nice.
And believe me, by the readers as your intentions contradict them. Like I said, readers are not stupid, who see more than you think. They just do not always speak out when they do not trust the whole thing.
That's all I want to say about it! If you still have a blogger I hear additions like it, there are more ways you can make money blogging? And you can find it as a blog reader really annoying when using a blog makes these ways to make money?
I think this is what bloggers want to know absolutely the sweetest when they're just getting started. Still, I recommend you first to the first, second and third reading of my blog tips. Why shall I explain in this blog post? I myself have made the (long) road to becoming more and more visitors. And how I did it, I get lots of questions! Let me just start by telling because I have a lot to explain!

Write things that people want to share

A blog that you do not find the interesting part you do not. Yet? Make sure your blog that appeals to a certain group of people, they are going to recommend your blog or a particular item to their friends! This ensures that their friends share it again, and if it appeals to them, they share it perhaps again! That way you can really reach very many people.
Of course, that's not as easy as it sounds, I can not give you a great tip that you're guaranteed a viral post. But I can give you tips to make more likely to be shared:
  • Make sure your blog is easy to share. Social media buttons at your fingertips! I told the other times all internauts are lazy, when with a click to tweet your blog does this better than if they have to copy the link and myself have put lyrics. If they think they're doing me know your blog is really great - but you increase your chances if you use social media buttons.
  • Without the doubt, the most important: write good content ( Blog Tips # 3 was about writing good content, so just read!)
  • Keep your reader in mind, what would they like to share? That does not have to affect your entire blog (it keeps your blog), but when you start looking for inspiration, this may be a good starting point.

Do something crazy

Hear actually a bit with my previous tips, but he deserves a separate piece. Look to your Twitter or Facebook timeline. What are the links that people post? Things with catchy titles, weird things, notable events, or things that touch you emotionally.
Also, when writing an article you must go back to the purple cow, the unique idea that I was also in part 1. Certainly not always - but you want your shared item, then go looking for a unique idea. A bit unusual, especially, looking for boundaries. In addition to articles like this are more likely to read well is a great way to challenge you as a writer. Come out of that comfort zone!
But what I also want to say that Article which is often shared might be as good when you least expect it. Many bloggers will undoubtedly recognize this: an article you find yourself ordinary found exceptionally well by your readers. So good that they share it! There is nothing wrong with just staying within your comfort zone. But if you find something (idea, category or format) does not work, then it's okay to quit and go looking for something else, maybe something crazy!

the fun factor

It is very much a gunfactor how you can bring. With gunfactor, I mean that people give you as a person your blog read. They think you're a nice person! And I think everybody is a nice person, and that anyone can create that gunfactor on his blog. You just need to do something for ...
Namely, show yourself. Show your face, tell us about yourself, make a nice 'about' page also shows your personality between the lines in your articles. Personally, I think a blog difficult to build a gun factory without you even find a person behind the blog.

Interaction with other blogs (and bloggers)
There are several ways you can interact with other blogs and bloggers. Consider the following:
You leave a comment on another blog
This is the beauty/fashion / lifestyle scene a common way to get more visitors to your blog. This way only knows a manual, haha. What I would recommend is to leave valuable comments which have put your attention. I think if you stay with yourself, attention put into your responses, and something is trying to add to the article that really goes without saying.
You then automatically leave a response that people think: Gosh, who is that? What blog he/she have? How you do that is you can fill yourself, of course, the way I would do it, I said. And that's exactly the way I react when I would respond anonymously or not visitors do at my blog.
Your link to another blog
By linking to another blog notes those that visit comes in through your blog, and who knows he/she takes it a look! And if you are lucky maybe to the article linked through social media. I was not a complete write blog posts to be linked by another blogger, incidentally, but linking to one another is a very nice way to add value to each blog.
Another blog links to your blog
Basically, this is the same thing as when someone shares your link via social media. But with a blog, you communicate via the same medium which creates a bond. There is also the fun factor back into play, bloggers like to link to people. Also to blogs with good information, but rather to a blog good info with a nice person behind it.
The blogger's world is one in which many bloggers know each other. Recommends a blogger your blog, then chances are that there are more! When you get 5 visits a link may seem to have a small impact, but when it goes from 5 to 50, or 500 or even 5000, it could make a world of difference.
Two blogs, for example, my blog has helped a long way in the right direction this blog post by Miss Lipgloss and this blog post-Teskuh. (So ladies, if you read this: I do not remember, thanks!)
As I suspect it is, is that your blog is not fantastic at once and remains crowded if you get one time 5,000 visitors from a fellow blogger. You have to stay engaged with your blog interesting and keep creating great content. Linked to a helper, but it is not 'the way' to grow.

Attend social media

I've already mentioned once, but I call it again. Of course to keep everyone informed as regards the news on your blog. But also to be active as a human being, just because interaction with other people, readers, bloggers is fun!
If you do not like it enough, maybe it helps to know that you fun factor jacked up and the chance to be enlarged share (how about retweets and shares on a post with a link to your blog it?).

Befriend Google for more visitors to your blog

Usually, it is true that some of your visitors come through social media, some through referrals from other websites and then there is a part: Google. Some found your blog via Google search. And to increase that share a lot of things to consider. Very faint: but I can write about books that really does not fit all in this article is therefore about once an article, promise!
There has been online for quite a lot to find out about, so if you are curious, you can of course already looking!
Persevere and have patience
This whole article is about getting more visitors, but please: Do not dwell on it. Do not constantly at your stats if you know you're not going to do more than look at the numbers, and then be disappointed. That time could be better stabbing in writing nice things!
In a few weeks grandiose visitor that has almost none. Everyone started at 0, and that's good. The whole blogging is a good way that you can learn a lot when you are at the top is there is little to learn at once. Then you have just a lot of people who read what you write, while you do not know so well what to do.
Please be patient. For example, I now have three years working on blogging, daily online news article. Thousands of visitors every day are not 'just' come, I've worked hard for. In fact, there are a lot of bloggers who have at least as hard as I blogged but have fewer visitors.
Do not do it for the visitors, do it to go on that path in order to better writing, to find your own voice, to look at yourself, to learn to blog, to make mistakes and learn from them. And yes, maybe people will read it too, maybe they even react! But see it as a wonderful extra. Until then it's a perfect time to write through and through learning.
Quality over quantity
I just said it all: Do not dwell on your stats. 1000 visitors need not necessarily better than 100. It depends of course on what your goal is, but if you, for example, want to activate people, or would make you think, it is better to 100 people who are with you and your blog feel connected than 1000 people who click, read two counts, and then immediately click away.
Your blog is valuable to 10 people who read everything, action, maybe even write a reply or mail, with 100 people coming and immediately click away. My mom and Tim are more valuable readers (read everything from front to back and vice versa, including all responses) than those who read the title, beginning and end by watching and then 'Nice article !!! " comment. Or so immediately click away.
10 visitor may sound little but remember that real person.
And Oja: visitors also worth more to you if you write about which you want to write, and there are 10, then you write about something you totally behind it and there are 100. The visitors that best suits you and your blog pass, which is worth the most. Really, you do not stare blindly at the numbers!

What you can not do better for more visitors to your blog:

Perhaps you have seen come along a little bit, but there are things that I think you they can not do better.
  • Respond as many blogs with 'what a nice blog !!! " without having read it pick you as a writer so through
  • Place a link to your blog in each reaction; if this is appreciated, there is often a special compartment for
  • All the visitors you're a human, not a machine
  • Be a screaming billboard: everywhere on Facebook, Twitter, parties, blogs, just about your blog and how great he is talking. It's great to share your enthusiasm and a little advertising for your blog really can not hurt, but do not beat by
  • Write things that you're not behind because you would like more visitors to your blog
Congratulations, you've just read an article of 2000 words! These are really things I wanted to tell all. Course, you can pick out what you want out of it, not everyone will be nice to work every tip. The principal remains that it is your blog and that you should feel good! For the bloggers among us: What is your ultimate tip, you have additions?
First, before I explain you want I want to leave something the basics of starting a blog to know before you even begin. And for me, it's best to better start today than tomorrow, but this is really the first thing I would recommend doing. Coming up with a unique idea.
I'm going in this article otherwise assume you want to have a successful blog, you want to be liked. If you want to write for yourself is also not very natural or weird, but the tips in this article are not applicable to your blog.

How do I find something unique?

That's not very difficult. The blogger's world in the Netherlands is large but mostly filled with blogs with the same issues; beauty, fashion, personal, lifestyle, name it. There have been countless blogs.
Now you can do two things: better to write a blog then all those blogs that already exist within these themes. This is not impossible, but not easy. Bloggers have often sat for years of experience, have contacts that they forward have a visitor (often high). Is a difficult task.
What you can do, much easier: just imagine what is not, and about starting a blog. There are so many issues that are still hard to find something (in Dutch) is. When you create a blog, well put together, reasonably designed, well-written, great useful info, then you are in no time at the top of Google and read many lovers of the same subject your blog.
You only need the one idea. And do not be too large: a nice blog for women, which is very broad. A nice blog about stationary is already something in the right direction, already has a theme. But if for example, you create a blog about cards, or pens or notebooks, you have a small issue, something that probably does not exist, but something which many people seek and something many people like it. Not everyone will like it, but you do not. If you are blogging about things like that, you can be sure you get readers interested.
And if you want a step further: make money with your blog and your blog is for example notebooks. Then a brand that sells notebooks like to advertise with you, chances are your readers than buying something much greater than if you put the same ad on "a nice blog for women. But that's something for next time, I'll make a separate blog for making money with your blog. But if money is part of your plan, remember that it is an advantage to think this way.

How do I find it suits me something unique?

Honest: find something unique is not that difficult. But a unique blog about a topic that you have nothing, does not sustain you. That might be fun, but ultimately that's just stupid. You keep blogging (especially if you do it regularly plan) only full when you blog about things you love yourself.
And that does make no less original, you love clothes does not mean you should just about fashion blogging. Then your blog still the same as all those other blogs - unless you blog a different approach gives the course. Is fashion your passion and you eg nice (fashion) signs? Go there then do something with it!
So do not just inside the box, but outside the box. So not only subjects but also in form. And ... maybe something else? Fill it in, be creative!
Consider where your unique talent, your unique passion are your unique interests. And do something with it. Besides the fact that the likely readers will make it fun to find peers when you have a unique passion! Besides that it is just a ridiculously fun hobby, blogging about your favorite "thing".
Sounds simple, and maybe it's that. But you should be able to apply it to yourself! Maybe right now you have an idea, maybe you should think about it. Is all well, I think it's also just fun to think about! And if you can not reach, ask someone to ask you well know something really your unique thing. Make sure you do have a unique passion, hobby or interest!
This article reminded me a little of the book Purple Cow. You do cow in the Dutch blogger's world happy not to be as bright purple.
In short; yet another beauty blog start is nice, but the chance to be more successful with a beauty blog is small. I would also recommend doing something different, there are so many other cool features! I've had as many as 100 ideas, but I myself have no time, or it's not my thing, haha. And I'm sure I'm not the only one with awesome blog ideas! Have you an original idea for a blog (had)?
If your blog has become once bigger, and your niche here for, you will be approached by companies; webshops, PR agencies. There are people with all compliments your blog love it, but want something from you. How do you deal with that? How about doing business in the bloggers world together?
Be aware of their goal
Why do people come from businesses towards you with all calls and questions? That is very simple; they want something from you. They want you to write about their product, links to their website, or you write something good about the brand.
They are people who want to write you positive about their product. When you, when you store credit is offered receives stuff when you're invited to an event, PR people do nice to you, it's about one thing. Of course people do too 'normal' self nice, but that's not why they make contact with you.
It is their job to ensure that the media (yes, that includes you if you have a blog!) Paying positive attention to what they represent. Obviously, eventually all to ensure that more is sold.
Involves placing specific links than likely also about the link building of a website. It is often not important what exactly is installed on the client, as the left but be reflected in the text.

Your blog is worth more than you think

Especially if you have followed my other blog tips and have your blog is worth much more than you think a particular niche. If you think for example of advertorials prices, your blog treasure higher! Me has become clear that many bloggers use too low (yep, I'm guilty).
I asked around about a lot and thought about it, what comparison, and I think it unwise difficult to determine a price for my advertorials, I must confess. My tip is: ask around at similar bloggers (same topic or perhaps about the same number of visitors), do research, and think about it carefully. And also important: how much do you think yourself that is worth a spot on your website?
Another tip: do not negotiate. Watch this video and you'll see why:
You've carefully considered your price, and your blog is worth more than you think. Do not be persuaded, but trust yourself. Some advertisers always try to push into a corner and you feel inferior. Fact is, you are not inferior and your blog either.

Think about your honesty and value added

It is of course very cool if you blog inter remainder is for advertisers and PR agencies! Natural that you feel flattered and you're proud that you're done with your blog. But keep to yourself.
The stuff you get no presents and they do not send because they find so nice. You owe them nothing and do you also do not more positive than you are, at least, if you  want to stay honest and authentic .
I would also recommend you also like to continue to think of your blog. Imagine: you get something very expensive you and something you really like and you have been offered or is required to write an article about it. One problem: it does not suit your blog. What are you doing?
  1. You see it as a payment in kind instead of cash for an advertorial
  2. Simple: you say no, because it does not suit your blog
The first option I can understand if what you receive is of sufficient value and also applies to some extent on your blog. The second is that which I would recommend, the acid sounds and how difficult that is. Pay particular attention to the added value it has for your blog. In option one goes through for advertorial (which must still be fit to) fit in Option 2 is simply not good enough and when it is not added to your blog. And that is very sad.
But of course this remains your own, it's your blog, this is just a tip I want to give you.

Do not be fooled

Some things you should know:
  • A guest blog is not what it once was. If a shop wants to write a guest blog for you, they turn left here, so then it is nothing but a disguised advertorial. These links to your blog worth the money, no matter how small your blog is.
  • It is perhaps not, but some companies are inventing devious little ways to turn things in their favor. For example it is mandatory from January 1 this year to put in there paid blog posts or got stuff that this is the case. Some companies pretend to know nothing, think of other sorts of strange things that you would be in danger if you get paid advertorials and then you can never be found in Google. Be aware of this and do not go into business with people who want to make you do things against your principles (or against the advertising) deal.
  • Join a Facebook group with bloggers, here you can ask questions in this area. Together we are strong! This group and these are anyway very good, fellow bloggers in these groups are very helpful! You can lose all your questions.
  • Try to be influenced as little as possible. After a ridiculously fun event or when you've got a huge box full of stuff you soon tend to talk a lot more positive about a product or brand. That's a fact. Stay tuned honest and let know that you have been or had the products at an event (the latter is, as previously mentioned simply required).
  • You can you a little bit worn as a businesswoman, your blog is, after all (even though you may not be registered with the Chamber of Commerce) your 'business' if you work together with other companies. A little sharp (and business!) Maybe best, especially if you're dealing with people who try to intimidate some are brutal.
  • Many bloggers writing companies, web shops and PR agencies with the question of whether they want to cooperate. I myself do not do this unless there is something that I really want to write very much. Find contacts for cooperation summit, but do not forget the 'free stuff', which detracts from the quality of your blog.
I understand that many bloggers make here do not have it, but I often see bloggers who are just here to do, and totally do not know how it all fits together. It is also a bit on your standards and  values in whatever way you deal with this, but in my opinion his honesty and quality of your blog the most important. And of course, the fun you will experience it!
Sometimes all the world of blogging seems nice and cozy, but the fact is that money is in (and yes, if there is money in the game ...). And it's not much to do with it, but be aware of what you do. And get a little for yourself, as I said: you are worth more than you think, yourself and your blog underestimated! Do you have any tips on this area?
Since I write about tips blog, I had many questions, but the most common questions have absolutely to do with success. How do I get more visitors? How do I get others promote my blog? How to earn the easiest and fastest money? There's only one way you will succeed. And the one way I'm going to reveal to you today!

Consider where your focus is on success
What do you want to accomplish with your blog? Do you want more visitors? Or perhaps more comments? Or make more money? Imagine yourself determine what you find the most important to measure your success. Perhaps the more things that can be done!

Making great secret of your successful blog

Okay, great, now you know where you would like to move forward. What to do now? Put that goal somewhere far on top of a cupboard so you never think anymore and never more. Almost never or, perhaps over a long time.
Before you do, think a moment what to do to make to achieve that success. Think of a vision and think which way you want on your blog. Not too long to think, because they focus on success must go! The rest of the time you focus on improving your blog, do not you think more of your success (money, visitors, you name it), but only to improve your blog. And more importantly, ensure that you continue to find fun blogging.

Focus on your success sends the wrong way

I think many bloggers do have this experience, I do anyway. How it was for me?
The whole day I was busy checking my statistics. Had someone might have mentioned my blog somewhere and brought new look inside? I have had more visitors than the previous day, or next month? How was it that I had fewer visitors? Several times a day I looked so. And I bet more bloggers did.
And visitors grow by almost one every day, so guarantee that you cranky or sad is I can give you advance.
And it is also the interesting bar, which figures. I still think. I'd check my stats, but I do not look at numbers that are higher or lower (better or worse), but rather to the deeper part of my stats so I can work on my blog. See what readers like and do not see which techniques work and which do not. Purely because I find very interesting and there a lot to learn.
If you focus on success you will be disappointed. The fact never goes as quickly and as easily as you would like if you ask yourself these goals have to do with success. All those and focus that negative energy can be put to much better fun and good things!

My tips for blogging successful and enjoyable

Actually, this is actually where all my series is about, of course! But if you want to know how to make your blog successful, your focus is probably wrong. What can you do about it?
  • Like I said, away with all those figures and focus on success. For example, see you the day your statistics? Commit yourself that you now do only once a month! And then you just take the time, do you sit back and go deeper into your stats look only at the numbers (better or worse does not exist, look no further!)
  • Do not start blogging for money or success. If you want success or money you may be better off finding something else than blogging unless you besides your desire for success and money are also crazy about blogging, of course! But think carefully about whether the lust for money and success is healthy, and where it comes from.
  • Put the focus on the things you love about blogging. Blogging should be fun! Are there things you like less? Then you put it'll just less! Do you, for example, hate keeping track of your social media channels, but you do it because it needs? Stop it! If that makes you less like blogging then you should not just go with it.
  • Fun always comes before success. If you do not like blogging, chances are anyway unlikely that your blog is successful (readers may feel your enthusiasm and passion that is hard to fake). If you do not like blogging, chances are extremely slim that you'll even come close to the success that you desire.
  • Learn to appreciate your blog and blogging as it is already. If you are blogging do not like and are not satisfied with it, what do you need to have it? I believe that satisfaction is already in you, it does not depend on the success of your blog. It's how you look at it yourself!
So, focus on what you like and to improve your blog and do the numbers! When you focus there not so much enjoys gonna be a thing with the numbers, but as important, they are not ending. Whatever you do, how you do it and how much fun you will find it is much more effective when it comes to blogging. Many blog Kenneth fun ... this secret should be told! Would you like to see your blog more successful than he is now? And what do you do about it?
Now it's time to start writing to work! I can do not give instructions for everyone after all blogs on his or her own way. What I can do is give you some tips in writing blogs!
Creating content
You've already chosen your topic, and you can start writing. But what? There are a lot of ways you can go give substance to your blog. One writes a blog about what he ate, but the other will make a complete manual with recipe and information on the ingredients. There is no one perfect way to write blogs, keep mostly stick to your plan and what you would like.
You could make a mind map or someone (or yourself) to hold a brainstorming session. On the hand, you can quickly tap a lot of blogs. To give up a push for you might be something with the following forms within your subject:
  • A manual
  • List of tips
  • Your opinion on a particular topic
  • Give information
  • Talk about a particular event
  • Give advice or discuss a particular problem
  • Write a review about a product (or an event or ...?)
  • Reaction specify a blog or a quote from someone else
  • ... your favorite books, events, products within your topic
  • Let you know which blogs you read about the topic you blog
  • Answer to a frequently asked question
  • Also nice: write about that of which you would like to read
  • What has brought me a lot; a little daring in throwing. I blogged example my greatest fear. I thought it was scary, but I'm still very glad I did.

What you can not do better:

  • Steal content from other blogs (anyway not done at all) (and if you are inspired by another blogger: link they often find a lot of fun right)
  • Write about things that are already written 1,000 times, a bit original can not hurt. (Not always apply, especially if you have your own perspective and their own opinion or something else "own" it gives remains fascinating)
  • Always rely on 'tags' when you feel uninspired
  • Lose yourself in blogging. Sometimes, especially in the beauty and lifestyle fashion scene to PR agencies and companies get carried away. Keep yourself and your blog, you write for your readers and yourself, not for the PR and media agencies. Think about that as you write!

Make sure your blog entries are readable

Seems very obvious and as such, if a little Dutch may be you're reading texts. But on the Internet, the reader has much less attention and therefore you can consider. My tips to ensure that your texts are easy to read:
  • Do not use long sentences. On paper, it reads very different than on the Web, as I said, readers have less attention. As readers read differently on the web than on paper, it is an advantage to make something shorter sentences than you would on paper.
  • Spelling. Poor spelling is really a letdown. Of course, it does not always have to be 100% perfect, but it's good for your lyrics always check. Doubt you something? Hester gave some good tips here for improving spelling on your blog. Good to read, thus you come a long way.
  • It has been proven that a font that is used widely read most easily. In the end not even the shape of the font (yes, a bit of course), but above all the recognition. so do not use silly words for your content, but use it only for titles.
  • To proceed then: Justify or left alignment is recommended because it also reads most enjoyable.
  • The standard rules of writing an introduction, middle and finally you undoubtedly know. Not every blog needs this but uses anyway paragraphs. A large piece of text that is difficult to get through, especially with the attention of an internet user.
  • Overall not too long blog entries. Some bloggers like mega long articles that I absolutely not disapprove. When I 2000 words in a blog writing are for me a sign that I can share the better in two separate blogs or create a complete series of (what if I'm still not finished after 2000 words ...). But that number will be different for everyone.
These things may not seem the most important, but if you write something nice when it is read, right? If that does not so important, you can these "rules" of course just relax on your boot. That is perhaps the most important: good to do what you like, it's your spot on the web!
Frequency of your blogs
How often do you want to put a blog online? Every day, once a week or even once a month? It is good to remember this in advance. This has certain reasons: your readers know what to expect: for example, every Monday a new article. But pin yourself that way to determine.
A great danger of blogging is that you are too perfectionist. Not everyone has that problem, but there are many bloggers who believe that you should only blog when you "have something to say." And then they wait until they have our roads because they have nothing sensible report. Great news: everyone has something to say. Sometimes you look just alone here.
Elijah recently wrote an article (which she shared a tweet from me, yay!). When you look around to see if you see things that you can blog for example mandatory yourself blogging every day then you're constantly (unconsciously). That way you care without saying that you have something to say. I blog every day because I have such a fascinating life or because I have so much to say, I blog every day because I can make sure I have something to write every day. And I think you can too!
Tapping, reviewing, publishing. It is not difficult, you just do it.
I also feel that I can not really give tips. there is not a certain way it is right (or wrong) writing is very personal for everyone. The most important? Especially a lot of practice, have fun and take care of the finishing touches. Do you have any questions? Let me know! And the bloggers among us: Do you have any tips for writing content?
