FebBlogging In Retrospect

Today’s the last day of February. If you’ve been following my blog you know that this month has been packed with posts revolving only about blogging and writing. Now, on the 29th of February, I would love to recall the last month with you. It’ll be quite a short post as it was not planned at all, but anyway, here it is.

11 Ways To Increase Your Motivation For Blogging

Blogging for me is a hobby, an activity I pursue in my free time. Nevertheless, like with all other hobbies, you may reach a point where you need an extra motivational push. Generally, writing is something I enjoy in any case but when you have little time left and the necessary inspiration is missing, it’s hard to sit in front of your computer or laptop and start writing. However, there are some few tips and ideas you can try in order to ignite that motivational fire again.

How To Write Your About Page

A new reader just clicked on your blog. He scrolls down the first page, has a short look at you latest post. He gets curious and reads maybe another one or two. But now, he wants to know more about the writer. He wants to know more about you. Do you have a guess what he will do as next? – Correct, he will click on your “About” page.

Blogging And Social Networks

Blogging and social media go hand in hand. When you start your own blog you want to reach a lot of people and in order to achieve this you begin to promote your posts on social networks. I would like to present some of the most known ways to advertise your blog on the Internet and explain the most important features.

Blog Subject

Does a blog really need one specific theme? Is it necessary to stick to one subject? It probably is the best way to gain a lot of subscribers. One could argue that people primarily follow a blog because it evolves about the same topic but one could also represent the opinion that readers enjoy blogs with a wide range of subjects.

Pressure On Word Count

You have no idea how much time I wasted with searching the right answer to my question on how many words  a blog post should be. I googled for this information several days with the hope that I eventually will know the amount of words required for a successful post. Sometimes the number 2000 showed up and I thought how the heck I am going to be able to write so much? Another word limit was 200 words which is little. And in retrospective, I know that this time-consuming search was for nothing. The only thing I got out of this search was a slowly but steadily developing self-doubt. “Are my posts long enough? I only got 900 words… Is it sufficient?”
