Before you start reading, make sure you read our posts on Day1 and Day 2 on ‘15 things you need to learn before kick starting your new blog’. Here are 5 more things on day 3 and this is my final post on ’15 things you need to learn before kick starting your new blog’ !
11. Sidebars.
Be picky about your sidebar. Don’t fill it up willy-nilly with cutesy, flashy buttons. Your sidebar should benefit you directly, like getting visitors to dig more deeply into your content, making you money (through private ad sales or affiliate commissions) or encouraging people to subscribe to your RSS feed, newsletter, and social networking sites.
12. Keep It Brief.
Respect your reader’s time and try to say what you need to with fewer words.
13. Write Longer Posts
Write “epic” posts. If you have a lot to say about a topic you know a lot about, say everything. While this may seem to contradict the previous tip, it needn’t. Some of the most popular pages on my blogs are lengthy posts – 1,000 words plus. Search engines and visitors love it when you provide lots of great information!
14. Proofread.
Read your post through before publishing, and spell check. While perfect grammar isn’t required, do attempt to write in such a way as to make things easy to understand. Edit!
15. Format.
Internet surfers are scanners. Break up your paragraphs more, use bold and headline tags where appropriate, and insert visual elements like graphics and photos.
Well this post completes our 3 day tour on ’15 things you need to learn before kick starting your new blog’.
