Ever since writing my #introduceyourself post here, I have been struggling to find a constructive and time-line orientated way of starting my blog. With too much archived material and a desire to share it all, I found myself stuck in a loop of confusion.
Me this morning
My intention:
Is to blog about my exciting journey with this cryptocurrency documentary and to curate the podcast content. I want to share my thoughts on various topics (consciousness, crypto, news, healing, tech), update my photo-blog and be involved in the steem community projects like Steemit School and Steem Basic Income.
1 Ask yourself a few but very important questions:
Why should people care about what you write?
What is the purpose of you doing this?
Who is your audience?
2 Establish a clear outline of how to construct your blog:
Write a list of topics that you want to cover.
Find your niche or niches.
Be proactive and engage.
3 Establish a clear outline for your post.
What is the message you want to transmit?
KISS (Keep It Simple Sweety, like my nan likes to say it).
In your head plot how you want to guide your readers through your post.
Structure your post with an introduction/beginning, a body, and a conclusion/ending.
4 Minimize your distractions when writing:
Jot-down your goals, ideas and key points in a way that works for you: bullet points, short sentences, and spider web diagrams.
Use them as guides and as a reminder of to why you started writing this post.
Keep yourself in the flow and going forwards. You can trim and correct later.
Do all the fancy-spancy stuff at the end: text layout, tags, media, and links.
Use spell checker at the very end.
5 Use key points to expand the topic into a healthy paragraph.
6 **Be patient, curate the time that you have already invested.
7 Be enthusiastic about the long road ahead.
8 Make yourself a cup of tea, and start typing away.
When having at hand a mammoth project, it can be hard not to be distracted by the many wonderful things that crop up along the way, especially for a creative person 😅
To close the loop
I decided to jump back in time, not for nostalgia-keeping but to catalog in a systematic way what I want to share and to use it as reference points in future posts.
After all, all bloggers write to have their work read, commented and shared.
