Brush up on your writing skills

Knowing the basics of grammar and spelling will go far on your blogging journey. It will also help you create content that flows well and that others will enjoy. Imitate the bloggers you already admire and the posts that inspired you to blog in the first place. It’s important at this stage to mention the negative impact that plagiarism can have on your reputation and the performance of your blog. Check out this website to find out how to avoid plagiarism.

Choose your niche

Every blog has a theme. You now need to decide what yours is going to be like. Food? Family? Travel? Tech? Interior Design or even an online diary full of your daily mishaps. Whatever your niche, make sure you own it and don’t deter from your choice, so you don’t confuse your readership. Have a goal in mind for becoming the go-to blog for advice or opinions. For example, if a parent is struggling with night feeds and you’re a family blogger, you want the first thing that they think of to be checking out your blog for advice. 

Make sure you have images

It’s a simple fact that images are much easier to digest than reams and reams of text. Too much text can turn readers off and make them look elsewhere, so when you break up your posts with relevant images, you’re helping to keep your readers engaged. Avoid stock images, as these can make your blog pages seem disingenuous. Get some photography practice in and upload some great pictures to complement your blog. 

Open Up the Windows

Sunlight naturally heals a rather dull day, and when you’re thinking about a home fresh-up, why not open the windows today? It’s simple, effective, and invigorating, to say the least.

While having the windows and blinds closed keeps things private within your home, it primarily creates a stuffy environment for you and your family at some point. You need to let some natural light and air into your living space for better ventilation and airflow.

However, opening the windows can also carry harmful contaminants and pathogens out of the indoor air. It’s therefore vital to keep the doors and windows clean and smudge-free by using window-cleaning tools, especially for hard-to-reach areas. By opening windows regularly, you’ll soon feel—and smell—the difference.
