Blogging, Technology Me and Analyzing Modern Design
21 Sep

Obviously blogging is a huge topic, everyday you will find more and more tips and trick produce by other blogger on how you can be a productive and successful blogger. 3 month ago, when I start to write, lots of other successful blogs will be my main reference. I will check out how they write, how to link to idea or something I don’t know - why? Because I scare to write my own opinion before refer to other old and successful blogger that already established.
When I check some of the old post that I make, I found a dozens of mistakes. Spelling and grammatical error are the main problem, the ‘jargons’ words I never spell really make me feel uncomfortable. But, that is the learning process that I can fixed it in near future.
To be an expert in certain blogging topic, it needs greater depth of knowledge and passion on that topic. How to relate the topic with the main point and resources need a good communication skill. Not just a role as a “story teller”. All you need is to offer the reader something they want and put yourself in reader shoes.
Below some of point where you should brainstorm before start blogging on any topic. For me it the list of less known and often neglected by other. Yes good content, great design, powerful Wordpress plug in or keywords research tools can help you in build a better blog. But if you use the list below, it will be the extra advantages for your blogging experience.
Knowledge - Offer your knowledge and implement all the skill you had in the post. Double up your effort to give the best answer to your readers if they ask for help. It’s a stupid action if you had all the knowledge for SEO skill, writing and communication but you don’t use it. Give the best of you in each post.
Appeal - Instead of knowledge you also should offer something other can remember, where other could link to you. Maybe you can offer a resources article, how to article or other related good article where other will remember you. You don’t have to be a Wiki or other thesaurus, just enough other can’t pass over your blog for certain topic occurs. For an example, for making money online - you will go through Problogger site to Johnchow site to know more about making money online.
Know the “right time” to write - you also should consider the right time to make a post and publish the article. Choose the peak hour, study your blog visit time - and implement the posting schedule.
