A FEW MORE TIPS

Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not.

Write in your own voice and be authentic.

There’s only one YOU.

A FEW MORE TIPS

If you want to gain more readers, be

consistent with your blogging efforts, even if

that means you blog less frequently. Pick a

frequency – daily, weekly, monthly, etc. –

and stick with it.

A FEW MORE TIPS

Create visually appealing images with each

blog post. Make them relevant and original

(don’t steal other people’s photos).

A FEW MORE TIPS

Building readership takes time. The adage “if

you build it, they will come” doesn’t work.

Instead, think “if you promote/market it, they

will come.”

REMEMBER

QUALITY has more impact than QUANTITY,

so make it a priority to create great content

FIRST.
