What’s the most important (or interesting, or unexpected) thing about blogging you know today that you didn’t know a month ago?
Blogging is a never-ending journey. This is my 150th post. And I am excited there is always something new to learn or do. So what are some of the things I have learnt recently?
1. Working out what my audience wants is tricky and seems to vary.
2. Connecting with others is the key. I don’t expect others to stop by my site without me reaching out to them. This is only half the journey and doesn’t work.
3. I make sure that my writing is clear and not open to interpretation. I use the KIS principle, keep it simple.
4. Writing daily makes it easier. I stopped for a few days and I lost momentum. Now it takes me longer to write my posts until I get back into a system.
5. The more I blog, the more I want to blog. I love that you can sit at your computer anywhere in the world, share people’s lives and they can share mine.
6. The more I blog, the more I realise the power of the internet and the role of my voice online.
7. Finding viewers is hard but working my blog helps keep them. I appreciate everyone who stops by and visits my blog.
