There are many benefits to blogging besides increasing your web traffic; here are a few more:

If you’re not blogging it’s time. Here are 9 tips for you to help you get started:

    1. Use images; they add to the post and break up the text.

 

    1. Add keywords to help with SEO.

 

    1. Be yourself; be who you are don’t try to be like anyone else.

 

    1. Write like you talk; you’re not writing for a newspaper, blogs are personal.

 

    1. Don’t worry about the number of words; your blogs can be short or long.

 

    1. Set a blog schedule and stick to it; this was the best advice I was given!

 

    1. Write several at a time and schedule them to be published.

 

    1. Share on social media.

 

    1. Use a catchy title to grab attention.

 

The best tip I was given was to set a schedule and write several of them at a time. This works very well for me as I can sit down and write them and then schedule them to be published on specific dates/times. Start off slow and post once a week – consistency is key!

  1. First of all I want to say awesome blog! I had a
    quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts
    prior to writing. I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts
    in getting my ideas out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15
    minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
    Many thanks!

  72. 945457 702238Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone! 791273
