My top three tips for beginner bloggers are as follows:
1. Have a goal. Before starting your blog it is key to define your goals and figure out why you're blogging. Joshua Lockhart lists 7 types of blogs here. There is the teen rambler blog, the mom blog, the philosophy blog, the tech blog, the political rant blog, the gourmet blog, and the neglected blog. It is important to know why you are blogging.
2. Know your audience. Who are you targeting? Who do you want to read your blog? Once this is defined you need to target those specific people. If you are targeting other social media people then you need to follow those people.
3. Be Consistent and Persistent. Update your blog regularly and keep the content fresh. Your blog represents you and a certain purpose. Be faithful to that "brand" or "purpose". If you start rambling on about something completely off topic then you may lose your audience.
These are the three goals I am sticking to while writing this blog. You should consider adopting these tips too!
