When you start dreaming of becoming a blogger, your first thought goes to finding a proper platform. Opportunities for aspiring bloggers are available everywhere. But before you begin writing, make sure you have prepared yourself to give the audience what they will feel magnetized to. Blogs are simply not cluster of words, nor you can write anything random. Here you have a few tips on how to kick start a great career as a blogger.
First of all, stop dreaming now and get back to the reality. There are just two kinds of people – people who write and people who don’t. There is nothing in between. So now that you have started writing, you are a writer. Don’t forget that.
Choose what interests you
As a writer you will need lot of creativity. Your work should express your ideas in a very strong fashion. What interests is what will impress you. So go for the area that interests you the most. You can blog about fashion, technology, reading, writing, health etc,. But whatever you choose make it a point you give the best of what you know about it.
Develop a style of expression
What distinguishes the best from the rest is being unique. Each of us has a different style of writing. Whatever you want to convey, stand by a good and creative style of your own. This will gather lot of personal audience for your work. Also self motivation is what you will need. Each of us have faced a time in life when we question why we are doing this with our life. If you feel every other writer is better than you, then work to become like them. Have your own goals and a distinctive way of reaching them.
Make writing a habit
Spend a few minutes every day to write down anything. It could be very small and insignificant. Yet the more you write, the better you get. Don’t let your everyday work become a reason to skip this habit. Also while editing your work, be sure you do it from a third person’s perspective. It is very common for people to fall in love with their words that they hardly spot the mistakes. Be brave to present your work to the world, as hiding your work will do no good to you.
Be Patient and never stop writing
Many a time’s bloggers stop their work and the most common reason given is ‘bad response’. Writing is an art and getting your own audience overnight is simply not possible. So be patient and keep writing. Writing is a passion more than a profession!
Listen to advice
Writing help is always a piece of advice. It can never be completely true because there is no particular way to become a professional writer. Find the flaws and correct them. Feel free to take a word from your friends and other audience which will help you improve. Also appreciate and look for that thing which captivates audience in other writer’s work.
Welcome criticism as suggestions
There are no rules that you will have to abide. So absorb the feeling of freedom and unleash the words that are born within you. You will receive a pile of comments which may or may not favor you. Develop yourself by closely analyzing these as suggestions. It is your work, your words, so craft it your way.
Happy Blogging and remember to leave your thoughts here as comments…
