HOW TO BE A BLOGGER: Episode I

THE BLOGGER’S BLOG

The Blogger's Blog

Where do big things come from? Small things! This is a journey on how to be a blogger. Starting small as a blogger is something most bloggers as a beginner will not want to acknowledge. Before you start creating a blog, you should have thought it through. When you create your first blog post what actually were the reasons you had in mind. Create a blog so you can pull a lot of cash to help you out with the economic situation of your country. That is important but should not be your main reason as a blogger.

When you decide to create a blog, you decide to be a blogger for life. As a blogger you become an online writer, you have to put your passions into it and tell yourself “Hey! This is what I love to do online”.

Hey! This is what I love to do online

See blogging as something you do for fun. Develop the act of writing and gradually you will be able to write on any topic, you can choose a topic and when you carry your pen the words will begin to form. Practice writing something worth writing or something worth reading no matter how short every day. Soon your potential as a blogger will begin to grow and expand.

Blogging is an act just like writing. It’s not something you are born with, it’s something that you learn how to do. Every blogger share this trait. Starting small as a blogger, however, there are certain things that will help you to be more efficient, the first I will like to unveil is:

YOUR VOCABULARY

As a blogger, your first homework is polishing your vocabulary. Yes! All the words you use is your vocabulary. The use of tenses, verbs, phrases, and clause will tell how well written your blog is, and this, in turn, will prompt readers to pay attention to how you write not just what you write. This brings me to my next tip

ALL BLOGGERS ARE READERS

I have never come across a blogger who does not read books. As a potential blogger, you have to cultivate the attitude of reading good books. Reading will increase your vocabulary. Reading makes you come in contact with new words which may not be found in your personal lexicon.

You can buy good books relating to your choice of interest. However, the internet is now a helpful tool where you can download free eBooks to read.

All bloggers are readers

You have a whole wealth of knowledge open to you for your exploration as a blogger, take advantage of this and remember, it’s still an act!
