With the rapid advancement of technology, including the world of blogging. The community is slowly starting to perceive this activity as an activity that is considered quite interesting.

With the large number of blogs spread on the internet, maybe around millions. The question is, can you compete with those who are old by starting a new blog?

Relax, this time I will provide the best blogging tips and strategies which are specifically for beginners. Let’s dive in…

1: Set Goals for Your Blog

First thing when doing something, you must have your own goals, in the world of blogging too.

You have to know why you are starting a blog.

Maybe some of these questions can help you.

• What are your goals for blogging? 
• What do you want to get from blogging?  
• Want to be successful in the blogging field?  
• What do you want your blog to be?

If you can answer some of the questions above, congratulations, that means you have a pretty solid goal.

A solid goal can make your blog last, pay attention to this if you don’t want your blog to stop halfway through later.

2: Have Passion

Passion? Like the world of business and lectures.

Believe it or not, passion is also needed in the world of blogging, especially for those of you who want to earn a living and want to take the world of blogging seriously.

I don’t know for sure. All I know is like this.

Passion is something that is liked which makes someone do more than usual to achieve it and make it able to pass through various obstacles.

If it’s wrong, please correct it. For a more definite understanding, you can search on Google or in books.

Still don’t understand what the benefits are? Immediately see the wise words of the experts wrote.

Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow. – Anthony J. D’Angelo

3: Determine Your Niche

Niche and passion still have a close relationship in the world of blogging.

If passion is something that can make you more excited to do something, then the niche is something that you liked earlier.

If you choose a niche that matches the passion you have. Know what that means? This means that your blogging enthusiasm will increase.

And also, you can make passion as motivation when you are lazy to blog.

Specific Niche = Morale increase + additional motivation.

If you like blogging, it’s incomplete if what you write about is something you don’t like.

Therefore, determine a niche based on the passion you have.

4: Use WordPress

Why WordPress? why not just a Blogger? Because I think WordPress is much better than Blogger.

Remember, the WordPress that I mean here is not the free version, but the paid version or what is better known as Self Hosted WordPress.

It’s true, there is money, so there is quality. Just like WordPress Self Hosted.

The advantages of WordPress itself are not just one or two, there are many. Starting from the plugin features a huge selection of themes, better SEO, etc.

5: Start writing, don’t copy

Blogging activities are synonymous with writing activities.

Therefore, don’t do anything that is clearly not good, namely copying other people’s articles, especially if you don’t provide the source.

You have written, right? Surely the answer is yes because when you were young, you were taught by your parents and teachers to write.

Short question, if you can write, why do you have to do it? It’s called wasting one’s own abilities.

It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.. – Herman Melville

Originality is plagiarism that is not detected. – William Ralph Inge

6: Be Consistent

If you have successfully created an article, congratulations, that means you have completed the initial stages of these tips.

Now let’s go to the next level.

This time, you need to be consistent. Be consistent in posting articles, blogwalking, or commenting on other blogs, sharing articles on social media, etc. And what you should pay attention to the most is posting articles.

Being a consistent person is very necessary to build a blog that readers can expect.

Your readers will know what greatness your blog is if you are consistent and that can make them come back again and again to read your latest articles. This is one of the biggest dreams of bloggers for their blog.

Trust is built with consistency. – Lincoln Chafee

Getting an audience is hard. Sustaining an audience is hard. It demands a consistency of thought, of purpose, and of action over a long period of time. – Bruce Springsteen

7: Don’t Forget the Design

After realizing the disadvantages of copying other people’s articles, now what you have to pay attention to is the design.

Content is King, Design is Queen – IDK Who?

Even though the content you write is original and has high quality, but if the design you use is unsightly, then your content will be less useful for some people.

Therefore, choose a good theme, use a font whose size and appearance is easy to read, and don’t make paragraphs that contain too many lines.

8: Learn to Manage Time

Because almost everyone has their own activities and preferred activities, blogging activities will probably come second. Except for a full-time blogger whose main income comes from his blog.

Therefore, you must be good at managing time.

What for? Various kinds, such as writing the latest posts, blogwalking, etc.

You need to know that you can’t do the above activities in just a few minutes. For optimal results, it takes at least 2 to 3 hours to do it.

9: Blogwalking Is Important

Blogwalking? What is it?

Whenever you go to other’s blog, you comment, leave your site link, connect with them. That’s called blogwalking.

You can get backlinks. Want to get a top 10 position on Google’s first page? one way is to have natural quality backlinks better known as Off page SEO.

Blogwalking can also help you to make friends with fellow bloggers and if you are lucky your blog will get visits and comments back.

Now you know what are the benefits of blog walking, right? if so, do it immediately.

10: Learn SEO

Second, the content on this blog on average has a very large number of words. Third, sometimes I add quotes from famous figures in the content on this blog.
