3 Blogging Content Tips

Blogging content is a lot of work but it is so worth it. So if you are still reading, here are some blogging content tips for you –

Aim for quality over quantity

This is one tip I struggled with in the early days. I always felt like I had to blog everyday, regardless of whether I felt like it or if the blog post was really worth publishing. These days, I opt for quality over quantity. Life is really busy for me, and I don’t have as much time as I would like to have for blog content creation, so it is quality over quantity for Fashion and Style Police. Having said that, I will be posting more frequently on here, so keep watching this space.

When it comes to aiming for quality over quantity, go for detailed and valuable posts, over shorter and more shallow content if possible. Quality posts do better on search engines, and would serve your blog in the long run. Opt for evergreen content as they remain relevant and can bring in long-term blog traffic.

Find your niche

Finding your niche helps you stay focused and motivated. It also helps draw in regular readers and having a strong niche is also great for your blog’s SEO. This is why it is a great idea to blog on topics and themes you are passionate about to avoid experiencing burnout or the dreaded writer’s block.

Be Yourself

I saved the best for last with this tip! There are millions of blogs online from creators all over the world. The only way to stand out is to be yourself. It is super easy to get carried away with the charm of another blog that seems similar to yours, but in the long run, sharing your personal views, lessons, stories and experiences would sustain your blog. So just be yourself and enjoy the blogging experience. My blog really took off when I started to blog as myself and not as other popular lifestyle bloggers.

If you are new to blogging and wondering how to get started, here are 3 SEO strategies for your blog that you may find very useful –

Keywords research

This is something I started doing in the early days and I still do it. Carrying out a mini research on the keywords you are interested in for your content helps boost the rankings of your blog posts, which would eventually improve the overall blog rankings. Conducting a keyword research is super straightforward, you can use SEO tools like Googles Keyword Planner or Ahrefs.

Use short and catchy titles

The shorter a title, the better the SEO, so resist the urge to make your blog post title complicated. Just make sure the title includes the relevant keywords and it relates to the article itself. You should also include relevant sub headings in the body of the article to help boost the ranking of the blog post, and catch the attention of your readers.

Add relevant links

Another quick way to boost your blog’s SEO is to add relevant external and internal links. Every blog post should contain at least 1 external link and 1 internal link. The magic is in the quality of links, so aim for internal links that are similar to the main theme of the blog post you are writing, and opt for external links that are related to theme, but not too closely related,  so they don’t compete for the same rankings.

Stick to a strong niche

Setting up your new blog as a ‘lifestyle blog’ may not be a good idea. It’s always best to start off with a strong, well-developed niche like fashion, beauty, parenting, travel, and the likes, and then evolve into a more lifestyle theme if that is what you want. Starting off as a lifestyle blog from the start may be too generic and this can slow down the growth of your blog. So pick a strong theme and grow off the back of it.

Stay active on social media

When I first started blogging, I made my blog had a page on every major social media platform, and this helped jumpstart my blog because it brought in traffic. Staying active on social media is a great way to jumpstart your blog. You can always schedule tweets and social media posts in advance, that way you don’t have huge gaps in between posts.

Create quality content

At the end of the day, your blog content would speak for itself, and this why creating quality content is a no-brainer. You want to retain the traffic you are attracting, and quality content in a strong niche would do just that.

Research similar blogs

Drawing inspiration from similar blogs is another great way to jumpstart your new blog. Spamming the comment section is never a great idea, and neither is copying. Researching similar blogs allows you to see how other bloggers run their blog. It also allows you to discover what works and what doesn’t.

Invest in a simple blog design

When it comes to blog designs, you want a simple design that is user-friendly and easy to read. The less ads, the better, and don’t go for designs that are too busy or overly complicated. Less is more with blog designs. You want your readers to enjoy the look and feel of your blog, so they stay longer on it and return.

Good luck with your new blog. Leave me a comment, so I can check yours out.
