In recent times blogging has seen a rise as a serious profession. If you have a knack for creating content which is unique, you can talk about issues and keep people engaged on topics you feel strongly about, then blogging is the place for you. Here’s a few tips on how to become a blogger:

Choose a theme that you love

Blogging is all about what you love to do and want to share with the world through your eyes. By sticking to one personal style and aesthetic you will be able to catch people’s attention and stand out in the crowd. This way the content you create will come off as genuine and more people would relate to it. You won’t be the one of the same thousands of so called bloggers out there.

Have your focus on a certain topic

Target a niche topic that you have a strong opinion on and focus on it. Do you want to blog about fashion or makeup or is there a social issue you feel strongly about? This will help you create content in an organized manner and relate able brands and companies will find it easier to approach you by knowing what ideas you’re selling. Thus, once your focus is set, you can be clear on your marketing strategy as well.

Money should not be the primary focus

It is pertinent to establish yourself as a blogger first before thinking about raking in any money. Be passionate and creative about what you’re doing. Once you churn out great content, brands will start approaching you themselves. Be sure to still focus on giving your blog and them the best content. Also remember to not work for free or devalue yourself, your services are not free of cost as they require time, effort and skill from your side. If you agree to work for free, you would only be disrespecting yourself.

Promote yourself to brands and fellow bloggers

Since you’re just starting out, you’ll have to advertise your blog a little more by promoting yourself to brands and fellow bloggers. You can just introduce yourself, tell them what your blog is about thus gaining exposure and maybe even help from considerate bloggers. Most of the bloggers become friends really quick, you never know you might even get invited to events and meetups for more exposure into the social world. This will help you reach a larger number of people and establish your blog.

Always put out good, fun and engaging content

Your blog is all about the content you put out there especially the visual and written section. Some people relate to visual appeal while some people prefer words as a means of connection. If your content is engaging, your audience is automatically going to be drawn towards your blog. It has to come from a genuine place, which will make people connect with you and cannot ignore things important in today’s time. People should be able to relate to you and feel inspired from your blog. And don’t run after numbers, if the content delivers, the numbers will follow. As a blogger you should be passionate and willing to work every day. It is hard work and requires time, mostly around the clock. If you stop, people are most likely going to forget about your blog.
