BLOGGING TIPS TAKEAWAY



1. Share your content in social media. Always.


Promoting your content in social media should be a must. A blog without social media presence is next to dead. Joining blog syndications in various blog-related groups can be beneficial to neophyte bloggers. If you wish, you can join Cebu Blogging Community for free.


2. Write your content in list form. It’s easier to read.


A blog post should be informative and easy to read. You should consider two types of readers: those who love reading and those who don’t.

Writing a blog post for these two types of readers in a list form will cater to both audiences. Those who are interested will read the details while those who aren’t will simply read the bullet items.


3. Go for your content curation featuring your top posts.


Do this method on a regular method. It’s a tactic to increase traffic and decrease bounce rate. Make sure to do-follow all internal links! It will do magic in search engine optimization (SEO) results.


4. Blogging daily will definitely increase your traffic.


More blog posts = more traffic. That’s given. While content is king, don’t forget that engagement is queen. Make sure not to leave these blog posts untouched. As stated in the first bullet, make sure to share them online!


5. You should consider joining a 30 Day Blogging Challenge, too.


Yes, I bet you should. Not only that it will give you more traffic, it will also develop your attitude towards blogging. If you’re joining a blogging community like Cebu Blogging Community, it will also be a vehicle towards success. I can attest that.
