The world of words has gone through a major revolution, and authors and publishers both have been impacted by the outburst of digital media. Today, a blog is one of the most significant and powerful tools writers have at their disposal. Whether you aspire to connect with a new audience or showcase your work and get published, a well-written, well-presented blog is crucial.

What it Takes to Become an Effective Blogger

If you approach blogging as something not as important as your book writing, you’re more likely not to succeed at it. While blogging can be a bit more relaxed and more geared for online quick reading and sharing, doing it in a way that connects with the audience requires the same kind of practice and skill as crafting a novel. The more you do, the better you get at it, but many authors give up before they’ve put in enough effort to understand the medium.

Furthermore, to stick with blogging long enough for it to pay off, you have to be able to enjoy the process and what it means to blog.

Blogging For Writers: Top Tips Every Creative Must Know

So what are the tips and tricks that can make a blog popular among potential readers? We are here to help you learn some tips to attract your target audience. Let’s begin!

1. Put Your Readers First

The number one content marketing rule: it’s not about you. It’s about them.

There’s little point in publishing post after post about what you had for lunch or your thoughts on the latest celebrity gossip. As a blogger, it’s your job to specify a niche and then stick to creating good-quality content that solves readers’ problems in your niche.

2. Build Up a Library of Blog Topic Ideas

You must create an interesting list of blog ideas beforehand to write about. It’s a misstep to write articles about you all the time. Entertain and educate your readers.

3. Acquire Some Technical Skills

You don’t need to be Elon Musk to learn how to set up a blog and publish your posts. WordPress is an amazing free platform that allows millions of users to start their blogs, and it only takes a few hours to learn.

4. Create Content Consistently

The search engine thrives on content, and that includes blogs too. If you want to build a successful blog, it requires some time and patience. Creating and publishing blog content consistently means you’ll practice writing more and learn what readers want, and don’t want from you and capitalize on that.

5. Study Copywriting

As a blogger, you should learn to break up your content with smart formatting tricks and white space. You’ll also need to learn the basics of copywriting to capture the audience's attention.

6. Don’t Worry About Getting Paid

This craft isn’t the easiest way to get paid if you want to make money from writing. However, as a writer, you can make money by selling your books, offering writing and coaching services, etc.

If you are a non-fiction writer, blogging is a perfect strategy because you can repurpose content from your books as blog posts and vice-versa.
