A Successful Blog and The Strategy

Hello everyone! :D

This is my FIRST TIME BLOGGING! (yeaaay..)

Well, I hope you guys will enjoy my first post and find it useful.

Let's start!

Today's topic is:

"What Makes a Blog A Success and Blogging Strategy"

Here are 5 points I would like to share with you. These are my personal opinions about having a blog that is worth reading, worth linking, and worth to be commented.

1. What would I like to achieve through blogging?

With blog, I am willing to gain my writing skill. Like I said before, this is my first time blogging and I am sure there are a lot of mistake I made here. Well, that is part of learning, right?

I also want to be more open-minded. Personally, I have a difficulty in telling and sharing my thoughts, my opinion, and my statement towards something. So, I think this is the right time to make my move.

2. What is my strategy for blogging and obtaining readership?

It will be good (or you can say it, the best way) if every post on your blog helps the readers with their problems. So, my first strategy is to write a useful and helpful post that my readers can find some benefits within.

Second, my blog should not be like a textbook we usually read at school! Words, words, and words only. It will be better if I put some images, so it won’t be boring to read. To compare pictures/visuals with text, our brain can process information in forms of visual faster than text (source: http://www.billiondollargraphics.com/infographics.html ). Therefore, readers can be more attracted to our blog.

3. What will be the purpose of my blog?

To be read?

Just kidding :D Of course it is more than that.

Related to my previous point, I want my blog to be useful. Hopefully readers can find it helpful for them.

Also, I want to know people who have the same thoughts and opinion like me. This can be done through one important feature in the blog, which is the comment section. In the end, the blog can be a platform for people to widen their knowledge about certain topics, especially related to what I posted.

4. How will I go about creating useful posts?

I think there are many ways to create useful posts. For me, I can do some researches or survey about what topic currently discussed by people nowadays. The topic can be from anywhere. There are a lot of things to be discussed. A simple example is Tips and Tricks. This idea somehow never goes wrong, right? 

5. Who is my favorite blogger?

I am the type of person that loves beauty tips and tricks so much. This girl, named Michelle Phan has inspired me and I am so satisfied with her beauty education through her blog. Here is the link to reach her blog:

http://michellephan.com/

Not only me, but hundreds of people has been going through this blog. Michelle Phan constructs her blog attractively. There are lots of photos, useful tips for skin, fashion, makeup, and many more. She also maintains her words in detail, yet not too much. In other words, she manages it effectively and efficiently.

Done!

That is my opinion about making a blog a success, followed with some strategies to make it happen. Do you have another answer for those 5 questions? I am happy if you guys can leave a comment.

Thank you!

Kind Regards,
