Blogging tips are tips that should help you to get more visitors, readers, subscribers, traffic, money or whatever is appropriate, to your blog. An example? A very simple one is the advise to make your RSS feed icon appear better on your blog. The tip is to highlight the icon or text, in order to attract attention to it. How can this help a blogger? It can help readers easily subscribe to the feed, and be notified when a new article is published.
I want to give you a summary of two tips that helped me very much.
The first is from 45n5. Mark, the owner of that site, recently wrote a post about removing all these ad-links and affiliate stuff everywhere, and instead, focus on great content. When you have great content, you can sell advertising space and earn. This tips doesn't say, no affiliate links etc., instead it says, LESS of them. It will let your blog look less cluttered, and more reader friendly. You let the user feel VIP, and that's what they want. If your main reason is to try and make money, try and hide it, and make good posts, instead of affiliate posts, full of spammy links.The next is one about being a minimalist. If you focus on what's needed, and spent less time on refreshing your analytics pages, you can write more and better content, or spend more time advertising. If you write less but better content, it's more likely that people will come back. So try do the least, but try to make it perfect. This helped me seeing that I spent way too much time doing stuff that isn't needed, and have less time for things that are essential.
These two tips helped me to see what I did wrong, and are going to help me in writing better content, and making better blogs. There are many sites with great tips. If you just Google for "blogging tips," you get enough great tips to read for a month or so. I wish you very much luck with your blog.
