Surfing through SocialTimes<\/a>, 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 :<\/h2>\n
1) Start with the end in mind<\/strong><\/section>\n
<\/section>\n
<\/section>\n
Picture what you blog will be like in a few years. A particularly interesting tip : \u00a0purchase 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.<\/section>\n
<\/section>\n
2) Offer something valuable to your readers<\/strong><\/strong>Create 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.<\/p>\n

3) Get to know your readers, and it\u2019s OK if your blog evolves<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t expect your blog to be perfect. It is quite lilely that the more you write, the better you get.<\/p>\n

4) Good design is key<\/strong><\/p>\n

Think about what your blog design says about you. Would you like to keep it serious, fun etc?<\/p>\n

5) Follow your gut<\/strong><\/p>\n

Write what you feel like writing. There must have been a reason why you decided to start a blog on the first place.<\/p>\n

6) Know what your boundaries are, and stick to them<\/strong><\/p>\n

7) Promote, promote, promote<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

8) It\u2019s all about building relationships<\/strong><\/p>\n

9) Treat your blog like a business<\/strong><\/p>\n

10) Keep learning<\/strong><\/p>\n

11)Have the right tools<\/strong><\/p>\n

12) Things change<\/strong><\/p>\n

In my case, I found 2, 4, 9 and 11 the most useful ones…And what about you guys?<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
