Blogging has never been easy and what makes it extremely difficult is the amount of competition in the blogging world. That’s when I decided I needed to develop my best blogging tactics to try and improve my blogging edge.
My Best Blogging Tactics
Show people you’re serious about Blogging
There are a lot of bloggers out there who use either free themes or who blog on free platforms so they don’t have to shell out for hosting fees. I decided long ago, that if I was going to be a serious blogger, I had to treat it as a business. Like all businesses, I knew that meant some sort of cash investment. So, how have I invested in my blogs?
Hosting Your Own Blog
Hosting my blogs on my own servers was my first investment. This was important to me because I used to blog on those community blogging platforms only to have them close down. What a waste of time and effort! Hosting your own blog means you never have to worry about someone closing you down. There are also SEO benefits of hosting your own blog. I’ve listed the hosts I use in my Making Money Online post. Blog
Professional Theme
The first thing I did was find the perfect theme for me. The Thesis theme was my first paid theme. Unfortunately, it wasn’t what I was looking for. I wrote a post about how it just wasn’t flexible enough. Finally, I settled on the FlexSqueeze Theme which did everything I expected from it. I’m not sure how long that will last though as the developer seems to have gone awol.
Great Blog Content
There are a lot of great bloggers out there which means yours has to be as good or better to be noticed. The worst thing you can do is to write great content only to have its value deteriorated by poor grammar. This is why I consider Grammarly to be my best investment! I’ve found Grammarly to be the most comprehensive, automated grammar editing tool that checks for 250+ types of standard and advanced English grammar rules.
I’ve even produced a video to show how Grammarly works with my in-depth review of it. Grammarly would have to be my best blogging tactics to make sure I keep up with the best of them.
