At first glance it may seem that there is no difference between bloggers: men and women. However, looking at a variety of blogs, you can conclude: different genders have a different approach to blogging. This article is about the subtleties of blogging by girls (women of all ages).
So if you are going to lead and develop your blog seriously, if you always say to yourself “I want to be a blogger”, then these tips will help you to avoid many mistakes of beginner bloggers and understand the basic principles of good quality and useful resource.
Tip #1. Choose a blog topic
A blog is not a diary. You can write anything you like in a diary, but that way it will be read only by you and your friends, and a casual visitor is unlikely to be interested in what your kitty cat likes to play with, or that yesterday you had a fight with your boyfriend and now are in a severe depression.
So decide right away: what will your blog be about? And on that basis, choose topics for future posts, write them and add them.
If you want to have a serious, promising blog and you rely on a good, steady growth of attendance and active commenting, the posts should be interesting and contain useful information that readers will be able to apply in life.
Tip #2. Beautiful, functional design and nothing extra
Very often girls choose a beautiful design in saturated bright pink colors, full of all kinds of flounces, flowers, butterflies, hearts and more. Even add all sorts of pictures, glitter-animashki, various widgets like calendars, watches, slimming bars, rating buttons and catalogs. And contemplation of all this “beauty” is often accompanied by some romantic melody.
Remember that if a person comes to you through a search engine, he wants information in the first place. And then all the long loading, then flickers, blinking, and still the music disturbs concentration. By the way, try not to put music on your blog. This issue I have already described here. My only thought – to leave the blog, run away quickly.
Of course, the design should be beautiful, but must match the main theme of the blog, leave a coherent impression and be memorable. Constantly think about the usability of the site and convenience for visitors, leave only functionally important widgets and buttons. All unnecessary remove without thinking.
For comparison, look at the interface of popular social networks, such as Vkontakte and Facebook, there are hundreds of professionals working for these companies, it is worth analyzing some points.
Tip #3. Write unique articles
Sometimes it will be difficult to resist the temptation to place on your blog an article, picture or video you found somewhere on the Internet. Well, you really like it and so want to place this beauty at home. You should not blindly copy it. Skip the material through itself, revise and describe your personal opinion about it. If this is a picture, photo or video – write to them, your text, your question, your impression.
Repetitions do not like neither people nor search engines, so write a unique, author’s text. Where can you get them? Try reading this article.
Tip #4. Be patient and persistent in adding posts
Even when you suspect that you are writing only for yourself, when the traffic is low and there are no reviews and comments on your articles – still write, don’t quit your blog. Can you imagine the disappointment a visitor will have when he finds your blog, notes for himself a lot of interesting things, and suddenly finds that the blog has not been updated for 2-6 months, in the visitor’s mind – the blog is dead.
Choose a comfortable schedule for yourself: 2-5 posts a week, and try to stick to it. Write and add your articles, and over time you will have your own readers and active commenters.
Tip #5: Be willing to learn
Blogging requires constant self-education. And be prepared to constantly learn and learn new things if you are going to blog on your own without attracting the attention of a professional webmaster. If you want to achieve results (attendance, popularity, income, etc.) in a short period of time, it is better to take a special training on blog promotion. However, it requires some financial investment. If you can not afford it, then you have to dig through a lot of information, apply knowledge to their own experience and only then know what is effective for you and what – no.
