All bloggers are the same! They started their careers to become online writers by utilizing blog media from the most basic and even the most basic stage of the internet or the online world.
It's just why can they suddenly become someone who is so professional with the blog they have?
Having income with a blog, having high visitors, presenting extraordinary content, being someone who is successful in the world of Internet Marketer who initially only has sincere intentions and sincerity without knowing anything about the previous blog.
Success stories and professionalism of a person as a blogger and / or manager of a blog can vary. Some started their success from the beginning without basic knowledge about blogs, there were also those who already had basic knowledge before about blogs.
But generally they are people who are involved in the world or have an IT education background. Like: Web Designers and the like.
In our post this time, I will only discuss 7 things that must be done by a beginner blogger who is still unfamiliar about the world of blogging.
1. Able to use computers and the internet positively
There are some people suggesting to learn or be able to use computers and the Internet to become a blogger. This is indeed an obligation. But this is not the most important.
Because according to the eyes of friends out there who already have a blog no longer need to learn to use computers and the internet because how can someone who owns or has made a blog not be able to use a computer especially the internet? Logically it's impossible, right?
Therefore this problem is supposed to be simplified to be responsible for using computers and the internet.
We can conclude that being a blogger is to use computers or the Internet wisely and positively. Whether it's for personal benefit or many people, especially our blog readers later.
2. Have Writing Skills or at a minimum Can Write
Somehow after becoming a blogger the main demand of a blogger is to have expertise in writing.
The purpose of writing for a blogger is not merely to convey information to the reader but to develop a blog. Filling a blog with useful writings is the thing most often done by a blogger.
This is because self-written writing will bring inner satisfaction and pleasure. A blogger will become a responsible person and maintain the morality of his creativity when he is responsible for his actions. Including writing your own article on the blog he owns.
The ability to write for a blogger is important, but the requirement to have writing skills is a process that is not necessarily absolutely necessary.
Therefore, at least as a blogger friends at least or at least can write.
If this requirement is owned by blogger friends, they can write. So guaranteed a friends blog will contain original content that friends write themselves using language and how to think friends.
However, we cannot deny that writing is not merely conveying anything that is known because sometimes we as bloggers also need additional references to writing the blog that we have.
So don't stop writing until one day your friends will find out how friends communicate with readers.
I give a guarantee that when friends are able to feel how to communicate in a writing. So what is in the minds of friends will spill into writing and flow like water and of course it will make it easier for friends to convey ideas and opinions through writing that friends make.
Not only that, we will also get good benefits if we are able to create our own writing.
The positive thing is that the blog that we manage will later become a blog that is appreciated by other bloggers and blog readers, of course. this is because the knowledge they get is truly real delivered directly by the author.
In addition, writing that has its own character based on the character of the blog owner will keep our blog developing and of course one thing that needs to be known is that the writings of a blogger who is original or is his own writing will be highly appreciated by Google or search engines. An extraordinary assessment isn't it? google oh google.
3. Understanding Web Programming Languages
By becoming a Blogger! means friends must be ready to learn some important elements in managing a blog besides writing articles.
It is like mastering and having little ability regarding HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
Wow what is that?
I do not know, it can only be explained by people who are experts in the field.
Don't worry because managing a blog is not like managing a top class website.
I'm just a beginner blogger, thank God, I know a little about HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
Of course everything starts with learning. Moreover, we know that HTML, CSS, and Javascript are important parts in blogging.
We need to learn it, at least we understand the meaning, modification, and benefits.
Even though we have not yet or have not fully mastered their knowledge, we still have to study these three things. This is mandatory for a blogger, especially for bloggers who want to be able to create templates or design the appearance of their blogs independently.
4. Recognize and Understand the Responsive Blog Terms
What is a Responsive Blog?
Responsive Blogs are actually a Blog designed to have a good response by the devices used by our blog readers and visitors.
A simple example is the Responsive Blog capable of adjusting the appearance or design according to the screen resolution available on a Smartphone, Tablet, Laptop / PC.
All the while making a blog has a dynamic interface and can easily spoil the reader in tracing the content in the blog that we have.
For this reason for those of us bloggers who do not have the expertise in making or designing a blog to be responsive then we can simply search for or buy a premium responsive blog template that can easily be found just googling.
5. Understanding SEO (Search Engine Optimization) A BLOG
One thing that is not less important in the world of Blogging is SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for Blogs.
For friends who do not know what SEO is, as soon as possible to learn at least understand the benefits and some techniques that can be used to make BLOGs become SEO.
Simply SEO can be likened to as a special label for blogs that want to have lots of visitors to their blogs. Blogs that have an SEO label will easily be found on the google search engine.
As an information for those who are still laying a blog or article that appears on the Google search initial page, especially posts or articles that have positions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are blogs that have quality or very good SEO labels so that the article can appear on google start page.
Therefore, if our blog article is able to penetrate the initial page of search engines like google. Means that our blog will have the opportunity to grow and be ready to be flooded with visitors.
So, learn SEO and the techniques continue to work hard so that we can follow into the first page of google and get an SEO label for the blog that we have.
6. Learn How to Increase Blog Visitors
SEO is indeed one way to increase blog visitors. However, we may also have to add it in various ways so that our blog becomes more SEO again.
Therefore there is no harm in learning SEO and ways to increase blog visitors.
We can start by searching the internet by looking at and learning various reviews, tips, and tricks of people who are successful in the world of blogging.
Learn and if necessary ask them what things they do to make their blog become very famous and have good SEO. So that they are able to increase their blog visitors.
There is no harm in asking, because by asking, we will become more aware and better known by other bloggers who might visit the blog we comment on or ask questions.
7. Positive and Responsible
The last one that can be dangerous is for a new blogger friend. So that you can still think positively in managing your blog and become someone who is not easy to give up.
However, competition in the world of blogging is not an easy competition. Many tough opponents.
So, we have to be strong and stay positive that we can someday be tough like them.
Besides that we always have to be responsible for what we do in filling out our blog content.
As much as possible avoid fraudulent ways such as stealing or copy and paste other people's articles.
Remember this will bring harm to ourselves, including the trust of the reader in the article we post on the blog that we have.
So, let's stay positive and responsible with the blog that we have. Greetings, hopefully two quotes from bloggers below can motivate you.
