The A-B-C’s of a Successful Newbie Blogger

Working on the building blocks of blogging is a daunting task especially that there are hundreds of blogs to read every day from different sources around the world. The most ambitious part as a starter is to make your first blog a headline that would stand out from the rest and have audiences anticipating for your next blog post. Here are some things to consider when starting as a newbie blogger for your amateur blog:

Make a screaming title – Sounds challenging, but it is a requirement. People will notice a blog when a striking red banner tells them to stop, look and read the rest of what you have written. Broadcast, shout and advertise your title. Consider a title or topic that talk about feelings, interests, trends and ideas that people can relate to and are written differently unlike others. Nobody misses a blasting label on top of the bill. Making that eye-catching title for your amateur blog will help make it become interesting for readers.
Organize your thoughts – Fuelling the body of your blog in a logical order will assure the worth of the time of your readers even if it is just an amateur blog. The thoughts must be contained, precise and flowing till the end. Avoid discussions that do not really go anywhere. A reader sometimes skips, or even breaks off from a nonsense part of the content. You need to know what to write next and it has to correlate with your entire points of view. The momentum and energy must be sustained.

Be creative – play with words and accessorize your thoughts. Remember, the goal is not to make your blog ordinary as a starter but it has to be highlighted. Visualize the design and how it will look attractive. You may be just new to rounding up ideas and putting them together, but you can always be ahead of everyone when it comes to originality and concept. You can add humor to make it more interesting. A dull and lifeless presentation is no excuse for an amateur blog.

Earn a comment – Be it a simple recognition or advice for improvement, getting comments from your readers is the icing on the cake for newbie bloggers. It shows that your readers have made it all the way till your last sentence and have something to say about your blog. It also implies that you have captured their interests and opens a big possibility that they will visit your next posting or invite friends to read your succeeding entries.
These tips may not promise a successful award-winning Pulitzer write-up, but working with these basics might help you put impact on your amateur blog.

Blog RSS 101

To get a clear view of what a Blog RSS is, let me give a short overview of what is an RSS. The abbreviation of Rich Site Summary or sometimes Really Simple Syndication, RSS is basically a format in conveying a change in web content. It is very helpful for people who frequently use the web by keeping them informed of the latest content of their favorite sites. It is very efficient since it retrieves the information automatically, and eliminates the trouble of visiting sites the same way you did the first time.

Today, most bloggers have turned to RSS to maximize the relay of blogs to their readers. Let me elaborate on how a Blog RSS works. Suppose you want to syndicate your blog to websites. Normally you need to do all the trouble in distributing your whole posts by going to the sites one by one. In Blog RSS, you don’t have to go through each and every site to input the content the same way all over again. The sites that have your syndication code will automatically receive the information that you input once and the feed will do the rest of the job simultaneously. What’s more? As you update your blogs, it gets updated on the sites as well.

One good thing that bloggers love about Blog RSS is that feeds don’t get deleted by anybody and only you can do the deletion. So, you actually have total control over your posts. By providing the link to your feeds, you have already relayed the information to your readers. Just post the code on your website and that is it. You don’t even need to send out emails. Through Blog RSS, you have eliminated the hassle of spamming when you want to add a new content to your blog or update an existing blog. Even your web developer doesn’t need to do a thing.

Blog RSS is practically a good thing in the blogosphere. The bloggers, readers and the websites, even search engines are happy about this. It’s now being used in almost all medium of relaying information in websites. So, it’s time to crash out that campaign over e-newsletters or spamming. Switch to RSS feeds and make your blogs stay in the internet forever.
