Hey Steemians and Newbies! Since, few people think that my blog, I did yesterday was helpful for them.
I think it will awesome if I share something about "How to start or write your first Blog on Steemit?!". FYI, this is something that I learned along the way and I'm not professional on this!. If you have any corrections or faster/efficient way on how to do this. We will all appreciate your kindness and Please leave your suggestions in the comment box. XO! So without further do, let's get into it!
1.) IDEAS, TOPICS & whatever-s!
Starting a blog is not easy. Yes, I know!. Because up until now, I am still struggling on that part. You are not alone!
Gather up all your ideas you can think of then narrow them down to 3 to 5 topics if possible. What I mean by that is, if you love things like art, music, photography, fashion, food, travel and etc... For me, I believe that sticking to 3 topics for your blog will be a smart move especially for someone who's just starting to build their own blog foundation if that's make sense.
Make a list of things that you really love to talk about and with that, all the ideas will flow naturally.
2.) STUDY AND RESEARCH!
You cannot jump into the bandwagon not knowing what you are putting yourself into. If you want to be successful you have to learn and it's important to plan ahead so things will go smoothly along the way.
Tbh, when I just started blogging on Steemit. I honestly don't know what I want to share with you guys! I just go with the flow, which today, I think is a bad idea to start with.
Take Note: That this kind of industry is a never stop learning process!
3.) BE PRODUCTIVE!
I was kind of MIA on My Blogs last week, but I'm getting back on track so watch out for that.
As I said, build up your strategies and think ways on how you can use this amazing platform into its fullest! Remember this is a FREE Tool for everyone, so make the most out of it!
Monitor your progress. By this, you can learn how to adjust your sail to the current and make a little adjustment here and there.
4.) READ AND COMMUNICATE!
I'm glad that most of the Steemians here loves to communicate and they are willing to teach/inspire people to be successful!
Don't hesitate to ask for help. As I said, this is a very friendly user interface for everyone, but for those who are new to this kind of stuff we are willing to help you guys!
Follow people who are pro, masters and the pioneering steemians who are still active until now. Swear you can learn a lot from them!
5.) BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
When I started blogging here, I don't have much confidence in writing about anything because I was skeptical to share myself to the world. The number one factor in that is "grammatical errors". English is not my first language and I'm still in the process where I'm still correcting myself time to time. If you are here to nitpick my wordings. I am open for corrections :)
Courage Darling!. "If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will either. You’ll need to have the confidence and courage to reach success because you’ll likely meet people who don’t believe in you along the way." - by lifehack.org
