What Do I Write About On My Blog?
Lately I've been getting a lot of emails from my readers about how they should start building their blog and what they should write about.
If you are also on the fence about starting your own blog or have actually started one but still have no clue on what you should be writing about, this article should hopefully help set you in the right path and a clearer idea.
"What do I write about on my blog?" When I first was first told to start building a blog by my mentor, I had no clue on what I was going to be writing about.
All I knew was I had to squeeze out the creative juice inside my brain and just start creating content.
My first few blog posts were terrible, all I did was literally copy another article from some blogger and simply rephrase their words and ideas.
Yep I was pretty darn lazy and wanted the "easy way out" to blogging.
Although that got me started with my first few blog posts, there were nothing unique about it.
I was simply "re-phrasing" other people's stories and experiences while having none of my own experiences to back them up.
After doing quite a few of those "copy and paste" posts, I finally realized that they did not actually help in building my online presence and experience at all.
Even my readers at the time could not relate to the "different experiences" from all the different bloggers I copied from.
As I slowly progress in my blogging career, I then started writing about my own experiences, real life experiences and challenges.
I thought that was "it" because I am now writing about myself, people could finally relate to me and my readership did increase quite a bit.
Unfortunately, the problem with that was I got too focused on writing about MYSELF and was not being helpful to my readers at all.
As a result, I had very few returning visitors.
The lesson I learned from those mistakes was this: "Building a successful blog was never really about me, but instead, it has always been about helping my readers and giving them value.
" Its just amazing how those months of struggle and countless failures finally amount to one simple sentence, wouldn't you agree? Now that we got that out of the way, lets find out about the topics you should focus on writing for your blog.
Finding The Right Topic For Your Readers I struggled with this for quite a while, I literally was writing about anything I felt like writing with no direction whatsoever, exactly like a headless chicken.
The "brilliant" thing I did was simply reaching out to other successful bloggers.
I asked them to comment on how I was doing on my blog and I got some really good feedback.
They suggested that I pick a specific niche/pocket of people and center EVERYTHING around that because I was doing lots of general topics, which made me the authority of none.
From that day onward, I started to learn more and at the same time, write more about Internet Marketing and Online Business while teaching and sharing with others, like yourself, to learn from my mistakes and actually do them the proper way.
If there is one advice I could give you on what to write about on your blog, that would be about something that you're really passionate about learning because that way, you'll be constantly learning about the subject never run out of things to teach and share with your readers.
All the best my friends.
