Hey guys! Happy International Frog Jumping Day! So, everyone should HOP, HOP, HOP….TO THEIR BLOG! I decided to give those new bloggers some help, by giving them tips and tricks to be the best blogger they can be! So, lets hop along, (eh? See what I did there?)
- First things first, make an all about me post so your blog readers can get to know you better! This is one of the MUST haves on a starting blog. Check out mine for inspiration on my blog, click here to get to it.
- Grammer! No one likes a blogger that has so many grammar mistakes! Not only is it hard to understand what you are saying, it sometimes shows that you are not taking your blog seriously! If you need help fixing your grammar, you can always ask Google, or even me. I reply to all of my comments!
- Get a few posts up! Start writing on your blog as soon as possible. Write about what you like to do, book reviews, and anything you have the desire to write about. To make things fun you could add pictures and videos to enhance your post.
- Widgets! Don’t make your blog sidebar lonely, add some cool widgets like Clustermaps or Voki’s to keep your sidebar satisfied. Check out my teachers blogging resources tab to have some examples on what you can add. Click here to see her blogging resources page.
- Make a blogging friends page! On this page you should add bloggers blogs from all around the world as a link they can click.(Maybe if you add them on your blog, they will add you on their blog!)
- Leave comments! This is one of the most important things you must do when you are a blogger. When you leave a comment, leave your URL so they can return the visit. The more comments you leave the more comments you get. Who doesn’t love comments?
- You don’t have to post every single day, try at least once a week. If you do it once a week on a regular basis that is GREAT! You will see your visitors rising and rising!
- Most importantly, HAVE FUN DOING IT! Blogging is always something great, and everyone should take advantage of it. I encourage everyone to write about what they care about and passionate about!
I am still a student blogger, so I could always use some tips too! Leave a comment giving me some tips about my blog, I would love that. Thanks for reading. Happy International Frog Jumping Day!
