Top 10 Tips for New Bloggers
Thinking about creating a blog, but don’t know where to start? Look no further! Here are 10 useful tips for the launching a blog that is all your own.
1. Write About What You Love – Simply put, write about what you are passionate about! Blogging about a topic you are passionate about will show through your work. The Tamagotchi L.i.f.e movement is all about exciting style, art, music and self-expression; choose your favorite, and run with it.
2. Create Social Networking Accounts – As a blogger, it is important to have an online presence. A Facebook fan page, along with Twitter, Instagram ,and Pinterest accounts, are all a great place to start. Plus, all of these websites are perfect for gathering inspiration on your blogging journey.
3. …And Use Them! – Share pictures, ideas, and comments about whatever you are writing about. Did your Tamagtochi egg just hatch? Come up with an exciting new stylish outfit? Watch an amazing movie? Share it with your followers! Interact with your readers, and listen to what they have to say.
4. Write Down Ideas – Bring a small notebook with you, where ever you go. You never know when a fun topic post crosses your mind. By writing it down, you can check it out later and see where it takes you. This will help your creativity flow, giving you more confidence to move forward with your blogging.
5. Network With Other Bloggers – Communicate with other bloggers in your area of interest. Whether you own a fashion or lifestyle blog, there are sure to be other people out there who share the same interest. Networking with fellow bloggers can bring in readers for both parties, so it’s a win-win for everyone!
6. Keep Up With Trends – Staying on top of what’s causing the latest buzz is important for creating a up-to-date content. Read up on trends and what’s hot. Luckily, the T-L.I.F.E. Blog has already got that covered – it’s a great place to start for inspiration!
7. Try Something New – Bring in some fun by exposing yourself to something outside of what you’re used to. Check out a band of a genre you normally don’t listen to, or try using art materials you aren’t that experienced with. Don’t be afraid to experiment, because that’s exactly how you’ll become a trend setter and learn new things.
8. Ask For Opinions – Let other people give you suggestions. It always helps to have another set of eyes check out your work. This useful criticism can help you get a better idea of how to express yourself, and your blog.
9. Gather Inspiration – As you go along your T-.L.I.F.E. journey, you’ll find inspiration all around you. The world is full of it. Gathering inspiration of things that speak out to you (pictures, fabric, memorabilia, etc.) will eventually help spark some wonderful ideas.
10. Dedicate Your Time – As the driving concept for living the T-L.I.F.E., dedication is what will help your blog (and anything else you do!) succeed. You don’t have to dedicate every moment of the day to your blog – thirty minutes to an hour here and there can really work wonders. Life can get pretty busy, but with perseverance and focus, your blog can grow into a place where you can share your ideas with the world.
