What to Blog About

Hmm, what to blog about?  For newbies, this could be a tricky challenge.  For starters ask yourself this question, "Why am I starting a blog in the first place?"  Is it about my favorite hobby? Starting a new business?  How to make money quick and easy?  Whatever the case may be, you should follow your niche and post valuable content to engage with your readers.  

For example, say your niche is Home Business Opportunities.  Are you going to start talking about flowers and kittens?  No, I think not!  Lol!  But can you relate it to flowers and kittens?  Maybe so.  Say, you've joined a few home businesses and you enjoy working from home.  Well, there you go!  You found it!  You've found your passion!

Passion of a subject is what you need in writing a blog.  If you don't feel passionate of what your writing about, you won't give it your 110%.  Ideas start to dwindle and before you know it, your trying to find a whole different niche to talk about.  You're back to square one my friend.  Don't start what you can't finish.  Stick with a subject that you love and enjoy and all will be crystal clear from here on out.     

Here are 7 tips & tricks to get your blog brain working:
  1. Write Things Down - have you been inspired while driving? talking with your elders?  read an article that magically shun that light bulb over your head?  Blog about it! 
  2. Be Consistent - what are the odds of a reader coming back to your blog when the last article you wrote was years ago?
  3. Be Creative - add layouts, pictures, videos and links to engage with your viewers 
  4. Connect with Others - promote your blog on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn, Pinterest, GogglePlus+ just to name a few...
  5. Don't Over Think It - it's a blog...not a chemistry project
  6. Spell Check and Proof Read - punctuation and verbiage make all the difference in the world, don't you think?
  7. Most Importantly Have Fun! - after all this is your passion
In general, your blog can help promote your cause, business or story you're trying to get out there. Believe it or not, people really want to hear what you have to say.  You'd be surprised how many subjects are flying around in cyberspace.  Do you really want to know, lol!  Get your word out and before you know it, you'll be getting traffic in your sleep.  

Thank you for visiting my personal blog.  I hope it'll guide you in the right direction of where you want be.
