Once you’re done choosing the blogging platform and setting up your blog with proper desired theme. The next most essential part about blogging is about writing good contents.
What does it mean, when I talk about ‘good contents’?
Be it you’re writing a personal blog or a niche blog(blog that discuss about specific topics), the blog posts you wrote should be relevant to your topic and should always be informative.
You might say “But this is my blog, I write whatever I like!”
Yes! You can write whatever you like since it’s your blog! But you need to always respect your readers when it comes to writing good contents. Often when you write contents that are irrelevant to your topic, you leave bad impression to your visitors. Some visitors would never visit again if they found your blog uninteresting due to the irrelevant contents.
Other than leaving bad impression to your visitors, your blog will also end up with ‘high bounce rate’ which won’t do you good on your site ranking. Search engines like Google, takes content qualities very seriously. So think properly before you start writing ok?
I’d rather not write anything if I’m not sure of what I’m going to talk about. I’d rather spend my time thinking about it for days than having to annoy my readers with something uninteresting!
So, what makes a good content then?
A good content always starts with a good, descriptive post title. Your post title is the one that summarize what you’re about to say in your particular post. When you have something interesting that you want to share with your readers, always inform them by making the good use of your post title.
Once you have decided your interesting post title, you’ll then move on and stick to the topic you’ve decided. Your content should always be straight forward and easy to understand by your readers. Make them feel the same like they’re in your shoe.
A little sense of humor are always good to gain loyal readers. Nobody likes reading some boring posts even if they’re very informative about the topic you’re trying to share. A blog, is a REAL opinions/thoughts of a REAL person. Always write them with your passion, allow yourself to write some garbage to entertain your readers.
The traffic/readership of a blog is all depend on your content. No matter how good your SEO skills are, you can never reach the top without good contents. Like said,
Content is King!
Lastly, always find out what your readers want from you. You could ask them by starting a poll or simply a question at the end of your post. Make your readers want more from you!
Conclusion:
Find out what you’re interested in, and stick to that topic. Write your blog posts with passion. When you write on something you’re good at, you’ll eventually have a lot of good content to write about it.
When you’re done with at least 4-5 posts on your blog, proceed to Informing major Search engines about your existence.
