Lessons From My Blog

What’s the most important (or interesting, or unexpected) thing about blogging you know today that you didn’t know a month ago?

Blogging is a never-ending journey. This is my 150th post. And I am excited there is always something new to learn or do.  So what are some of the things I have learnt recently?

1. Working out what my audience wants is tricky and seems to vary.

2. Connecting with others is the key.  I don’t expect others to stop by my site without me reaching out to them. This  is only half the journey and doesn’t work.

3. I make sure that my writing is clear and not open to interpretation. I use the KIS principle, keep it simple.

4. Writing daily makes it easier. I stopped for a few days and I lost momentum.  Now it takes me longer to write my posts until I get back into a system.

5. The more I blog, the more I want to blog. I love that you can sit at your computer anywhere in the world, share people’s lives and they can share mine.

6. The more I blog, the more I realise the power of the internet and the role of my voice online.

7. Finding viewers is hard but working my blog helps keep them. I appreciate everyone who stops by and visits my blog.

    • I use the daily prompt events. Either the daily or the weekly ones. Even if I don’t write my own I read others and that usually brings at least some to me. It is easier. I used to be able to write a post on the train ride to work. now I am on holidays it is taking me longer.

  1. you’re right…when I write daily is more easy, but in my case sometimes is difficult just because when I sit I’m tired from work and fell asleep…but anyway your tips are great.

  2. Writing daily is a huge challenge for me- I barely did NaBloPoMo, but I can visit others daily. My writing goal is at least once a week, but I’m trying to be a daily commenter. Great list.

    • Thanks. It is important to do what works for you.. Build up when you can but don’t stress. Keep it fun.i am motivated by the interaction of others that I don’t get when I post less often. This doesn’t happen for everyone.
