This is exactly what i was thinking before writing my first blog post. Your first blog post will most
probably suck. Only your girlfriend ( if she is in a good mood)
might like it. Your Google Analytics
might say two visitors only – your
laptop and your smartphone. This may sound a bit harsh but even
the biggest bloggers published blog
posts that brought in almost no traffic at all. What separates
them from the rest is that while
writing these awful blog posts the
bloggers were learning the
fundamentals of creating
immersive blog posts and they learn from their each and every mistake. Starting a blog is a learning
experience, it is not an easy way to
make money online. You need to
learn what people want to read, learn
how to present your content so
people have a better reading
experience, learn what calls-to-action
work best, learn how to get people to
click and share your blog posts. Never write about something that you hardly
know of and what you don’t like. Most individuals who want to write blogs
often choose topics that are of great interest to other people, and of course, themselves. Make sure that you choose a topic that you're interested
and eliminate those that you don’t like, even if the topic is said to generate
more traffic. As long as you're passionate about the topic, go on and write a blog about it. It is also good if you always consider your readers. Your
blogs are like featured columns and so you must update at least weekly. Try
to add new posts so that you will not be forgotten. If in case you can't write new posts, try to inform your readers.
There’s no single right way to choose a blog topic, and the best topic for you depends a lot on your situation and what you hope to do with your blog. Some of the good techniques would be to * Cover the most general topics like animals, jobs, e-mail, jokes, pictures, videos , events, news etc.. * Try to be interactive * Ask questions * Try to be visual * Checkout google trends for hot topics * Turn to social networking sites for trending topics * Try and follow search engine optimization techniques * Browse through other good blogs ( for inspiration of course ). But of course It takes time to become a successful blogger. It is a lot of work and it takes up a lot of your day. There is a long road ahead of you and your first blog post is just the start of your blogging journey. I would conclude by saying " write what your heart tells you to " , close your eyes for 2 minutes and think ( sometimes very difficult ) , and there you have it - your first blog topic.
