49 Tips to Become a Better Blogger
Would you agree that Blogging is an art, which can only be mastered with experience? Well I believe it is, because not everyone can blog. Then the ones that do conjure up the determination to do so usually give up in a few months.As you go along, you pick up tips and learn new techniques which can’t be bought for money. Unless of course you go for “classes” but there is a lot of things that just can’t be taught through a 1 hour lecture. The only way you can expose yourself to these learning curves is by getting your hands dirty – in a metaphorical sense, of course.
When I first started, I knew absolutely NOTHING about writing for a blog. My inexperience mixed in with my curiosity saw many failures, but that beacon of hope stayed alive with every small success. This inevitably shaped my blogging style to such a degree that despite failure upon failure I kept true to myself till the day I saw a sense of accomplishment grow inside of me.
The point I am trying to make is that – Blogging isn’t a ‘get rich overnight’ method that many people see it as. It’s a world where only the hard-working and committed people survive. No one is going to spoon-feed you information. Well, no-one except me. I want to share with you 49 tips that helped me become a better blogger and hopefully will help you too.
