Blog11 - 5 Common Blogging Mistakes of Beginners

Blogging is generally simple. You can just write your mind and talk about the things you do and like. What matters most is to share your content with the people and inspire them in certain ways. What makes blogging a little bit of challenge is the fact that you need to market your blog to the people. Blogging without marketing is useless. No one will know your content.

Some bloggers have become unsuccessful of some minor marketing mistakes. Most beginners also fail to make their own names because in blogging of certain mistakes. Let’s admit it, mistakes are inevitable. Here are the six common blogging mistakes most beginners do:

z2 - 5 Common Blogging Mistakes of Beginners

Blogging about random thoughts

Blogging can be random. But it doesn’t mean it is recommendable. Sometimes, we think of random thoughts that we believe as a great idea for our next blog content. If you want your blog to grow, you should be organized. Your posts should always be coherent with each other and should serve community goals.

Thinking people care about you

This is a bit harsh but a humbling thought – no one actually cares about you as a blogger. What they care the most is your content. Especially for beginners, people will visit your blog site because of your stories, and not because you are a doctorate degree holder, an environmental advocate, or the daughter of Madonna.

z1 - 5 Common Blogging Mistakes of Beginners

Not collecting emails

From the very start of your blogging career, remember to collect emails by integrating call-to-action boxes in your site. Collecting emails offers you a lot of advantages. First, it helps you achieve a healthy traffic to your blog site. Second, it is your way of connecting with your customers and readers. You can send them newsletters or content about promos, freebies, and great deals.

Not promoting your blog posts

As mentioned earlier, blogging without marketing is useless. Who would know about your content if you are not dedicated to sharing your posts? Blogging does not require you a full-blown marketing strategy. Basically, you just have to optimize your content to achieve a healthy ranking in search engines. Moreover, you can take advantage of social media to promote your blogs.

Putting too many pop-ups

Pop-ups are essential for conversion. But limit your pop-ups as they get too annoying at most times. According to a study, 70% of Americans hate websites with too many popups. Use popups sparingly and wisely. If it is irrelevant, then there’s no reason for you to place it on your blog site.

Blog10 - 5 Simple Tips For First-Time Vloggers

Video blogging has become a trend since the rise of YouTube. As a matter of fact, PewDiePie, a Swedish comedian-vlogger is the most followed channel on YouTube, beating Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.

Today, “video blog” is being shortened to “vlog”. The people who vlog are called “vloggers”. Some bloggers and influencers even venture “vlogging”.

Social media has become a platform for the proliferation of vlogs. According to HubSpot, over 90% of social media content is videos. Further, 61% of businesses start to invest in videos as their primary digital marketing tool.

Vlogging can be random. It can be about your life or it can be about a particular niche. There is always a particular trait in the way vlogs are edited that makes it different from other videos.

If you plan to start producing vlogs, here are our tips:

Find an inspiration

If you are just starting out, it will be hard for you to figure out how vlogging is done. YouTube is your friend. Surf for famous vloggers and watch their vlogs. Find inspiration in how they do their vlogs. Study the editing styles, the organization of thoughts, the display of texts, etc.

Know your identity

Being inspired doesn’t mean being a copycat. You watch other vloggers’ videos for inspiration, not to duplicate their content. Take time to realize your passion, your strengths, and your interests. There are thousands of vloggers, think of something that will make you a little bit of different at least. Vloggers may be similar but no one is completely identical with another.

camera - 5 Simple Tips For First-Time Vloggers

Invest in vlogging essentials

Anyone can start vlogging with just a smartphone. But don’t expect people to be astounded by your vlog. It is best to invest in digital cameras, monopod and tripod, GoPro, and even your blogger outfit. The quality of your vlog is a reflection of your equipment.

Learn to cut

This tip is intended for the editing part. One key characteristic of a vlog is the series of cutting. Editors will cut videos between words and thoughts. Why? It refrains your vlog from being too lengthy and most especially, dragging. Viewers do not want vlogs with too much blubbering. As much as possible, learn how to classify the most important parts of your videos.

Use social media for promotion

In order to gain thousands of views for your vlog, take advantage of social media. It is the best outlet to promote your blog and encourage your followers to watch it.

Apart from the two, there is also Twitter and Tumblr.

Strategize a content

Content matters when it comes to social media influencing. It’s not just any random post, but it should be a content with value. You always have to think before you post. Further, do it constantly. Your followers want to be updated with new content.

Communicate with brands

One notable activity of a social media influencer is promoting products and services. As a newbie, you might want to focus on growing your followers. It makes you more credible in which businesses would not hesitate to invest in you. After making a name, contact brands and businesses and make deals and negotiations.

df1 - 6 Steps to Become A Social Media Influencer

Join influencer communities

Another way of building your name is to interact with other social media influencers in the field. Influencers always find time to gather. It is best to make friends with them. Take a selfie, post, and stay connected. People will know that you are “one” of the influencers.

Connect with your followers

One humble way to stay relevant is by taking care of your followers. As an influencer, people will give you their trust. In return, you should never forget to thank them at least or communicate with them. Respond to their comments as much as you can.

The community of social media influencers will continue to rise in the next coming years. They will not just be a tool for social content sharing, but also in marketing.

8 Ways To Protect Your Blog Site From Hackers

Blog8 - 8 Ways To Protect Your Blog Site From Hackers

The online world is as unsafe as the real world. It is a place for hackers and cybercriminals predating your website’s data. According to the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report and Consumer Reports, over 24 million households in the United States experience heavy spam, whereas 16 million have serious virus problem for the past two years. Spams and viruses are means for hackers to steal your personal data.

Bloggers as well are vulnerable to hackers. Safety first! Do these ten things to protect your blog site from being hacked.

Strengthen password

The admin level of your website provides an easy access to hackers. What you can do is enforce names and passwords that are hard to guess. You can also limit the number of login attempts within a specific time. Moreover, you must change your password once or twice a month. This will toughen up the access control of your website.

Stay updated

Web hosting providers, website builders, and even your computer, they all offer software updates. These updates are necessary to fix certain bugs and glitches that affect the overall performance of your website and even threaten the security of your system. Always take advantage of software updates.

Activate firewall

The main entry of viruses and malware is the internet. It is important for you to activate the firewall. It serves as a barrier between the computer and the network which restricts entry of unwanted data, including viruses and hackers. A firewall may be software or hardware based. To strengthen your website’s security, you can install a web application firewall (WAF) which monitors HTTP traffic to and from a web application.

hh1 - 8 Ways To Protect Your Blog Site From Hackers

Install security plugins

Apart from the WAF, you can also install security applications. In fact, there are free plugins that let you hide the identity of your website’s CMS. This will make your website more resilient against hacking and other cybercrime activities.

Limit file uploads

Hackers can also enter your website through file uploads. However, file uploads are essential for a website. The best solution for this is to prevent people from having a direct access to any uploaded files. Store the data outside the root directory. Web hosting providers can help you with the setup.

Use HTTPs

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure is a communications protocol that secures the transfer of sensitive data between a website and the server. Integrating this protocol to your blog site means adding a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) to your website, ensuring extra security from any threats.

hh2 - 8 Ways To Protect Your Blog Site From Hackers

Implement parameterized queries

One of the major threats to your website’s security is SQL injections. Hackers could insert code into your URL parameter to hack into your database. Thus, it is important to use parameterized queries that designate a specific measure of parameters to ensure hackers cannot inject SQL.

Use CSP

Like SQL injections, your website can also be under threat to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. To avoid this, use Content Security Policy (CPS) to empower your site to be selective of trusted domains.

Usually, we get so excited after finishing writing our next content for our blog. We want everyone in the world to read our next blog post. However, the struggle remains that people may not notice your post. For some, they may not even know you started blogging.

There should really be an effort to market your blog as well. Don’t assume that people will see your blog right after you launch it. Just like any website on the web, it needs optimization to boost traffic. So, everything will be useless if you don’t actively promote it to the people. In this article, let us discuss how you can effectively promote your blog posts:

Tell your loved ones

Your first readers will definitely be your friends and families. Of course, who would support you in the first place? Ask them to read your blog posts and encourage them to share it with their friends.

mm1 - 6 Effective Ways To Promote Your Blog Posts

Invite colleagues

Working and being a member of an organization helps you widen your network. Apart from your loved ones, you can also ask your colleagues to read and share your blog posts.

Take advantage of social media

There is actually a broad opportunity for you to use social media in promoting your blog posts. Each social network has its own strength in terms of scope and efficiency in promoting your blog posts.

Facebook

Facebook is the largest social networking platform on the web. There are over four billion Facebook users. Basically, you have to automatically share your blog post on Facebook every time you publish a new one. Facebook is also a home to hundreds of niche-oriented groups. You can be a member of this group and encourage everyone to read your content.

Twitter

Twitter is also a perfect platform to promote your post. You can tweet once, twice, or more. The more followers you have, the more people become aware of your new content.

Instagram, Tumblr, and YouTube, these are all other social media platforms which you can use to share your new post.

Use LinkedIn

LinkedIn is also a social networking service oriented towards employment and business. If your blog niche is more of running a business or establishing a career, LinkedIn is a perfect avenue to share your content with the most appropriate target audience. Like Facebook, LinkedIn also hosts groups where you can share links to your posts.

Post answers

Quora, Ask.com, and Yahoo Answers – these are famous question-and-answer sites that allow online users to ask a question and anyone online to answer the question. Search Google for these questions through specific niche keywords. Choose questions that may be relevant to your post. Answer their questions and relate it to your blog post. Leave a link so they can visit your post and know more about your answer.

Advertise

The abovementioned techniques do not require you to spend dollars. But if those do not work, try advertising your post. Social media platforms have custom advertising programs that allow you to sponsor your post to publicly advertise it to anyone in the world. Sponsored tweet and Facebook posts – these are the most commonly used advertising options.

Guest posting has been a part of blogging for many years. It provides an opportunity for bloggers to grow their community. Basically, it is a method in which a blogger writes for someone’s blog. It allows them to introduce themselves to a new audience. Moreover, guest blogging is a powerful tool for SEO and lead generation.

“Contribute”

“Submit Post”

“Guest Blog”

Second, if you are targeting for a specific website, type the domain name followed by the words above. For example, “myfashion.com” + “submit post”. Google will also show you the website’s page that provide you the guest posting opportunities.

Google will display either the guest posts of the blogger or his search for guest bloggers.

On the other hand, you can also use your stalking skills by visiting their official accounts. They can be open Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Google+ looking for some contributors.  If you spot it on, do not hesitate to message them and tell your intention of writing a guest post. Of course, there is a desired manner of messaging blogs. Let’s talk about it in the next articles to come.

Use specialized tools

If stalking influencers or performing custom queries won’t work, then you can use specialized online tools to locate for guest blogging opportunities, like Followerwonk, Tweeple Search, and Narrow. Actually, they are designed for Twitter. You can use these to look for bios involving “social media” for the reason of knowing the top influencers that offer guest post opportunities.

In starting a blog, one of the hardest choices is deciding on what topic your blog will be about. You need to consider a niche which you are truly passionate, something you would last forever. Moreover, it should be something you are proficient about.

In this article, we will help you decide on how to choose the best topic or niche for your blog:

Know your passion

Take time to realize your passion and interest. It is a major factor in choosing the best blog niche.

“Do I love fashion?”

“Do I love baking?”

“Am I interested in U.S. politics and the law?

Write about something that you are passionate about. It will drive you to know more about the niche and will inspire you to write, write, and write. Talking about a topic close to your heart make you write effortlessly.

Study your target audience

The moment you publish your blog online, it will be available for public consumption. Therefore, it is best to think about your target audience. According to HubSpot, there is nothing more important than your audience. It makes your blog survive.

Firstly, identify your audience – millennials, adults, fashion lovers, Trump supporters, etc. Then, study their behavior and their needs. What do they want? What content do they need? This will help you identify the “focus” of your content.

Consider your limits

Everyone has their own set of limitations. There are matters and discussions which we are not comfortable talking about. These are our sensitivities. In choosing your blog niche, avoid topics which you are overly sensitive about. You have to put in mind that not everyone on the web will agree with your opinions and insights. There will always be bashers and critics. You have to be prepared.

Choose what makes you happy

Choose a topic that will make you happy. A niche which you are so excited to talk about. Do not write about a topic which you will not like after two, three years. You need something that will last you for forever. Something you enjoy researching about.

Relevance is important

Of course, you have to write something about a topic that is relevant to today. Always think of the “trendy” niches. HubSpot also suggests narrowing your topic. The narrower your topic, the more you can determine the relevant things in the world. Furthermore, it should be focused on the present time. Remember, most of the people online are the millennials. Think about them in creating a topic.

If you still find it hard to choose a topic, take advantage of helpful content tools that will help you identify the trending topics. But we recommend you blogging a topic that is close to your heart. Besides, it is your own blog.

As Spiderman said: “With great power comes great responsibility.” Similar to blogging, it is a serious responsibility. Many people will be following your content. People trust your blog, your voice. You need to make sure you are reliable enough to be their source of inspiration and wisdom.

Blogging is an avenue for people to express themselves. For some, it has been an online diary of their daily activities, passion, interests, and hobbies. It allows them to explore and discover their capacity. It also provides a sense of fulfillment, seeing your work being published online and people flocking to your content.

Build your network

Blogging also allows you to interact with fellow bloggers who share the same niche as you. In fact, blogging is a community-based endeavor which provides you an opportunity to build your own network of people. Connections will help you succeed in blogging, with fellow bloggers sharing your content, contributing a post in your blog, and helping you establish your name.
