To those who are beginning their blogs or new to blogging I salute you for being awesome in joining the blogging community. Here are 3 tips to make blogging fun and to help you post more regularly.
Write short posts. No more than 3 paragraphs with 3-4 sentences each. Make it on something you are interested in or how your day is going. Some folks will do a poem or other type of post. Remember the attention span of most people is short so brevity is important.
Post pictures. Its an easy way to get a post up with visual impact. Add a paragraph supporting what the picture is about and why it means something to you. You can also use pictures in your short posts.
Post videos. You can embed YouTube videos in your posts which can support the overall theme of your blog. It also makes your blog more multimedia which is always fun.
I encourage every blogger to “Keep on Blogging”. Make this journey fun and connect with other bloggers for more ideas as you go along.
When a blogger finds blogging no longer fun and decides to depart it is a sad thing. Their posts became part of your experience online and they informed you about them and perhaps a little about you. Sometimes people don’t have time or perhaps they lose their fire for it. I hope I never lose interest in this thing called blogging. So to all the bloggers who have moved on I say farewell and may God bless you down the road.
I got listed on someones Influential Blogger’s list on Twitter and that made me think am I that influential? This is just a simple blog of a fairly dorky person who rambles on about stuff happening in his life. There is really nothing awe inspiring about the posts you see here. Tony is a simple person with ideas in his head that sometimes make sense. Just saying.
When you use a hashtag from a national brand you just might get Tweeted back to in a positive way. The power of a hashtag can get you noticed, improve your audience and help you make connections. Today I did a Instagram of my lunch and used the hashtag #velveeta and lo and behold Velveeta responded to my post. Another blogger suzie81speaks talked about How to use Twitter Hashtags in her blog today. It’s worth the read.
If you have links to your other social pages on widgets or other parts of your page make sure they are the most current links. Sometimes we change our usernames on things like Twitter and Instagram and forget about making those changes to the links on our blogs. Granted there are times when we want to be a little more private so one doesn’t want that information out to our readers and followers.
Updating your blog is important and updating the links on it is very helpful for those who want to see more of what you are doing online.
If you haven’t posted anything original in awhile make a point to do so starting in November and going through December. Both months are times to be grateful and to be generous. Enjoy creating new things and enjoy the fun of blogging again. One can also catch up on the blogs of others and offer them feedback too. Once you have started keep it up. Keep on blogging good people.
