The Kind of Blogging Tips You Want to Know – FOR FREE
Are you looking for some great tips on blogging?
Hello everyone! Here at my house it has been a crazy couple of weeks. Seth has just finished his second semester of DPT (Doctorate of Physical Therapy) School. We get a little time off and then it’s back to summer semester.
When I started thinking about what I wanted to write about this week, I took a look back at the previous articles that I have written and realized that I have been writing once a week for R & R Web Design LLC for well over 6 months now.
While I have been writing as a ghost writer for longer, I have been posting blogging tips once a week. So, for this week’s article I want to share what I have learned about blogging about blogging.
- You can get away for blogging once a week.
When I first started, I thought for sure you had to write at least 3 times a week. What I’ve learned however is that when you provide great content and enough content once a week can produce a powerful blog for you. Want more information on blogging once a week, check out How to Get Away with Blogging Once a Week. - Make your articles easy-to-read.
I often catch myself skimming when I’m “reading”. Provide your readers when an article that is easy-to-read will promote them reading the entire article and not just the headline. If you’re unsure what I mean by easy-to-read, 7 Tips on Writing Easy to Read Blog Articles. - Spend time on your headline.
Copyblogger provided us with a startling statistic,On average, 8 out of 10 people will read headline copy, but only 2 out of 10 will read the rest.”
What is the point of having amazing content if you lose readers at the headline? Looking for tips on headlines? How to Write the Perfect Headline Every Time is the start to a series that can help you with that.
- Don’t be afraid to get a little personal.
This is something I just started dabbling in. I say confidently that blog readers crave personality from their blog writers. They want to know that the person they are taking advice from is a real person. A real person that is interested in them. In my article, Never, Ever Give Up On a Dream, I opened up to my readers about my husband and his journey to grad school. If you looking for an example on how to get personal with blogging- I invite you to read that article. - Please, don’t over share.
My mom has this saying; she would tell me “Don’t hang your dirty laundry out to dry”. There is a difference in being personal and over sharing. Over sharing will push your readers away.
This has been a great 6+ months. I have learned SO much and I’m looking forward to another 6 months.

Another great article Christine. It is great to look back at what we have done on our blog and putting all your tips in one single article is of great help. I’ll be reading for first or second time a few of those. I love your phrase ‘life happens’ and it’s so true. I find inspiration comes and goes and face to face interaction or getting comments on blog posts or otherwise is a great source of it. It’s been great to get to know a bit more about you and how you blog through this page. Cheers to another 6 months and many more to come!
Veronica,
Thank you so much! I’m so glad that you are finding the articles helpful. I am also glad to hear that I’m not the only one who has inspiration that comes and goes. Thank you again for your comment.
