102 Practical Blog Tips

I found this post of 102 practical blog tips at Daily Blog Tips and it was good enough that I thought I should post a few of them. In fact, the first 22 to be exact. The 2nd one, about writing about what you love is probably the most important of the bunch along with using Wordpress as your blogging platform. Of my two requirements of my writers, one of them is that they “must be passionate about what it is they’re writing about”. The energy from that passion comes through in the writing and passed along to the reader. As for Wordpress, that’s a given. The whole reason for this blog is to teach you how to create a blog using wordpress. In my search for the best choices, the best options, the best marketing and ease of use, Wordpress wins, hands down.

if you are not, start blogging today
write about something that you love
if you are serious about blogging buy your own domain
make sure your domain name is equal to your blog name
use a short and easy to remember name

content is king

It’s long long list. In my opinion it must be short and nice to read. It’s human eyes want.

Yep, long list. My intention is to go through them one by one in detail as time goes on. I’m working on that plus my book and my two other blogs. It’s a balance I’m working on achieving. I saw the list and thought it was important enough to post.

Thanks for the comment by the way

Great advice through and through, but I wouldn’t list ProBlogger as the number 1 source for better blogging. He is good, but not that good. AdSense is a thing of the past if you ask me - low yield even for high-traffic blogs: go for targetted marketing instead if you are going to monetize.

Nice list. I will definitely bookmark this one. Thanks! Although, I have to say that those social bookmarking plugins are just a waste of time and space because unless you have something REALLY interesting to show off; nobody will bookmark your stuff. And even if someone does use them; it takes more that one click to make a difference!

Social bookmarking is a way to get inbound links Dave. Some of the social bookmarking sites have rel=”nofollow” but a lot don’t. Using onlywire, you can bookmark once and have it submit to 16 of your other accounts, so 1 click can put your link out on 16 places. Its simple enough to do, and an effective use of time. My 2 cents
