Well these are some of the basic questions that might crop up to a newbie blogger’s mind. Even I was looking for these answers but found them nowhere. So I decided to write the answers myself.
1)From Where do you find topic for blogging ?
2)How much time do you spend online for blogging?
3)What is the average time you spend on each article? It takes me around 4hrs to complete once is it normal?
4)How did you promote your article during your initial stages of blogging?
1) How to Find the Topic for Blogging
Well this means both "What Topic to write For" and "Where to Find Post about that Topic".
What Topic to Write For : Anything that you feel interested about talking about with your real life friends. That’s so Good about Blogging. BUT, if you want to make a blog that gives you a readers base as well as some search visitors so that you might make some money out of your blog posts using Adsense, then you need to find a Niche. I didn’t even knew what’s a niche. What it means to me is your interests. For Eg. -My Blog is about Internet & Web and Computing Stuff. Similarly you should find your Interest about what you are going to Blog about. Some Ideas I think you can be blogging about are Blogging, Computing, Tech, Motivation, Entrepreneurship, Music, Bollywood, Parental, Personal & Education.
Where to Find Post about that Topic : You don’t have to Find Posts. You have to Create Them. For that you need ideas.What I do is I subscribe to a lot of RSS Feeds of many popular blogs . What is does, it shows all the latest headines from the blogs you’ve subscribed to. So it keep you a track of what’s happening in the Blogosphere. If you are a Technology Blogger then the List of top tech sites can be found at Labnol’s Favorites. You can subscribe to these blogs for the top news in technology.
Sometimes even you can get random ideas from TV shows, Newspapers & even by asking your friends about an issue.
2) How Much Time Should a Blogger Spend Online
Well, Blogging is not about the amount of time you spend, It about the quality of the post you write. But, ya initially some time needs to be spend not for posting posts but for the learning process. Its all about the mistakes you make. The more you make the more better you blog become. I did a lot of them. Too many. And I have learned a lot from them.
Anyways I think 3-4 hrs is nice.
3) How Much Time for an Article
Again Its all about quality. One can take a full day of research if you want to write really well. Sometimes its can even take a month to create those stuff. (I learnt : Do not waste time on stupid stuff).
4) How to Promote your New Blog & Posts
The most important in a life of a blogger. Promotion. Everybody needs to promote to make it visible to a lot of eyes. What I hate when some Gurus say that’s its not important to promote instead CONTENT IS KING. Dude you believe them ? They themselves promote & promote via Twitter, eBooks, Ads and what not ?
Promoting Means letting other people know that you have written something and you want them to read it. And why ? So that you can get traffic to your blog. More Traffic… More Readers…. More Linkbacks … Higher Rankings … Much More Traffic… Fame… More Linkbacks…Massive Traffic… Good Earnings.
