Surfing through SocialTimes, I came across some pieces of advice of one blogger about how to keep your blog interesting and awesome for the readers…Here they are :

1) Start with the end in mind
Picture what you blog will be like in a few years. A particularly interesting tip :  purchase all the URLs that you can think of that are related to your brand. You never know when you will want to launch another site, write a book, etc. When creating social media accounts, think about the future. The author of the article,Karpovich, said that when people search for her, they always spell her name wrong. So, she decided to buy several URLs, including both correct and incorrect spellings and abbreviations of her name.
2) Offer something valuable to your readersCreate valuable content. Of course it is easier said that done. Try to find what interests people and what is it that they want to real in your blog. You do not have to post 7 times a week. Just be consistent even if you write less.

3) Get to know your readers, and it’s OK if your blog evolves

Don’t expect your blog to be perfect. It is quite lilely that the more you write, the better you get.

4) Good design is key

Think about what your blog design says about you. Would you like to keep it serious, fun etc?

5) Follow your gut

Write what you feel like writing. There must have been a reason why you decided to start a blog on the first place.

6) Know what your boundaries are, and stick to them

7) Promote, promote, promote

Promote your blog through social media, the local newspaper/website, writing guest posts, and commenting on other blogs. The more people talk about you, the better.

8) It’s all about building relationships

9) Treat your blog like a business

10) Keep learning
