Blogs are the best sharing partner of the person. The Bloggers are free to write everything they prefer, but if you write professional Blogs and also the Blogs that are written for the revenue purpose, there are some precautions and also some of the dumb things that should be avoided while Blogging.

There are millions of people who write Blogs. Out of those people, there are thousands of people who make so many mistakes while writing the Blogs. Blog writing must be considered as a serious job and it should be exempted from some of the common mistakes. Here are those most required facts that must be a part of your Blog.

Be simple

The main feature required for the Blogging is the simplicity. There has to be the simplicity as people definitely like the distinctive and flashy topics and designs but they are always temporary. If you are not using the topic and language by focusing the general public, you are not attracting the mass. So, the Blog has to be simple in both the form of site, design and language. The flashy Blogs are always considered as Splogs in a very short span.

It’s a fact that the flashy websites and latest event news can attract more of the visitors, but they are just temporary for some days only. The flashy Blogs are like Girlfriend, they can be liked much more than the wives (the simpler Blogs), but they are always temporary!!

Be Readable

Another thing to consider apart from the language tool is the readability of the Blog. The website design of the Blogs must be readable, the content is the main part of the Blogs and that must be focussed. If your are using some darker colours on the header or on the advertisement brackets or even the background you are choosing as the darker shade, you are making troubles for reading the content.

Remember, the font size and the letter type is more important than anything in the Blogging Industry. The first time visitors might get attracted by the layout, but if the content is not clearly readable, even the best layout could not stop them quitting!! People come for the information and knowledge, not for the designs. So, make your Blog more readable and eye-catchy then the layouts and design.

Be Talkative

While writing the Blog, you must be aware of the fact that you are talking with the readers, you are not a writer. The prime difference between a Writer and Blogger is that the writers write what they wish and feel, while the Bloggers write what the readers should feel!!

So, the focus has a drastic difference although the ultimate job is the same. So, focus on the readers and also make a friendly conversation with them in Blogging. Blogging is an art to attract the people by the way of internet talking!! So, be talkative and use the talking and conversation language in the Blogs.

Be Smarter

The Blogger should be a smarter person as he must be aware of the taste and preference of the people. The online queries should be checked every time to get informed that which topic can hit more digs. Also the conversation on the Blogs should be done smartly as the visitors must feel the heat that you want to produce in them. So, have a short enough and smart enough language in the Blog and also present them in a smarter way.

The difference between a content writer and Blog writer is the Blog writer uses the punches more and the way of explaining is short enough to maintain the interest. So, all the features of the Blogs are indicating that the Blog writer should be smart enough to perform his job perfectly.

Be Choosy

Blogging is done for the revenue purpose and the one of the highest revenue earning source is the advertise agency. The ads are the best source of earnings for the Blogs, but while framing the ad brackets, it should be remembered that ads are for Blogging and not the Blogging is for ads.

There are so many Blogs on the internet that had plenty of ads in the Blogs and there were no post or couple of posts on the site. So, rather than keeping such foolish things or making the visitors boring by banging lots of ads on their heads, it’s better to be Choosy. Select the best ads and have an appropriate location for the ad agencies. The traffic should be created of the readers, not of the advertisers on the Blogs!!

So, these are the five recommendations from our side that any of the Blogger should keep in mind before Blogging.

Do you think the life of bloggers is as much easy like that of a child only because we are writing blogs sitting at the comfort of home, think again, sitting back at home means we do double the work. It’s been now years I have been continuously blogging without a single break and I do need a break, I feel like breaking down somewhere and that is you whom I can talk to. Working full time as a blogger is not an easy task; there is so much that goes on to writing a perfect blog that will attract attention. I have blogged about various topics and events in life, do you think that comes easy to anyone, sitting to write a blog I should be having perfect information, the actual facts which I can tell people.

A typical day begins right in the morning at 6:00 am sharp, I have always advised my readers whether they are blogging part time or full time to write the blogs with fresh minds and what better time than mornings! In the back of my mind when I am watching TV at night, I continuously think over the topics which I want to write about and gather information at first hand so that my audience would be interested in my blogs. It’s just not about earning money, for passionate bloggers, they wont leave a minute details describing everything that they know and help you picturise the actual facts of the things. That is how a real blogger is with all the details in his/her kitty they will never fail to give you knowledge of everything that they know.

We spend even double the time you might be spending in front of your notebook. I know what it takes to be eye candy in people’s eye, you have to show your worth otherwise you are no where in the market of this utter competition. Most of the times, I research about the topics and come out with superior stuff I could share with my reader and sponsors always want to reach out to the maximum people I can and hosting a site is after all not free, optimizing it, maintaining it and put regular replies, you have to be awake with 4 open eyes to be at the top slots.

I remember, the days of my anxieties and till today I feel the same thrills putting up any new topic thinking over the response that I would get, the comments people would put in or some sponsor knocking in, etc. we bloggers have a time table of each day and each week, the topics that we write, maintain a to-do for a blog, what we are going to write in it and also write scheduled posts if time permits -  this is at least of what I follow religiously as a blogger and I feel every blogger should have planned things to be successful in life.

As a blogger, I have not found a single day in which I was not working, things came up and I had sat for writing, not out of compulsion but my passion drove me to start working almost anywhere, any time in whatever condition. But telling you the fact, I am very happy about the way it is going, I am happy that I have come to this position today because of my struggles and the strict rules that I follow. Writing scheduled posts gives me good kick as these are going to save me when I am out for some work, your blog have to have fresh content every 2 days or max a week’s time.

The life of a blogger has become a routine for me, like everyone else’s office duty this is my duty as I said. The biggest of all advantages is the flexible hours I can work through, remember some people have mood swings and so they cannot concentrate on their work, luckily I am saved from it even if I am not feeling good about something I make around when I am complete with fresh mind and fresh ideas.

You can share in your experiences or give tips or suggestions for my readers!

Time and again I have always been telling people that academics have more importance than any sports, some might well argue, why is that so? When a person is good in sports, why not excel in that field? I understand what they are trying to say, but as per my view point academics stand a far more importance than other extra curricular activities, it often happens that a student is very good in studies but because of crowd pulling he might loose interest and get more attracted towards extra curricular which he is not at all good at. The great scholars of our times had always stressed importance of education over other worldly enjoyment like sports unless he is going to make sports as his career, even when choosing sports as a career is a good option, I had suggest, Graduation is a must for any individual.

The student entrepreneurs of today simply don’t understand the concept behind education system, they pay more attention to extra curricular activities then academics, the great academicians were never wrong in their belief of education. Although the times are changing, I understand we need to change as per the times, the students who have started earning at young age or are doing business as bloggers they fail to understand that as much as they pay more importance to academics, it will give them good results in future. I remember my high school and college days where I was solely dedicated to books, may it be arts, literature, science or geography, people during those times took keen interest in studying, but who bothers now especially when there are so much options open to them?

Hey, let me tell it doesn’t matter whether you are a student or no, those of you who are trying to take U-turn from here, please stay here, for this is the post that is applicable to students and also a common laymen. You will get good information and tips that will help you balance your work life/students life and blogging life, its not difficult to change from your present routine if you really want to, remember that old saying “Nobody can change your mindset about something, unless you really want to”, the mind game, remember it?

1. If you are really a go getter and want to excel in whatever field you are in, make key arrangements to manage your time and plan ahead for achieving your goals. People take blogging as full time career or some simply may take to earn that extra buck or some just love the idea of blogs, it is good for people who like to interact and spread their knowledge base to others.
2. Manage your time along with other chores of your life, do not procrastinate, as that will lead you to no where, I have often seen in my life the people who procrastinate – they do not have any life goals, they are behind from the crowd and have no sense of responsibility, once you stop procrastinating, you will automatically take charge of the things.
3. You know what differentiates winners from losers, “Winners don’t do different things, they do things differently”, the only thing that will make difference is by doing smart work, think over the ways you will be able to dedicate your time to both the fields.
4. You can maintain separate calendars for work/student life and blogging life, work calendar would contain all the details of your assignments and blogging calendar will have the days you want to solely dedicate to blogging, you can write various topics you want to write on, etc.
5. It’s difficult to get rid of your daily schedules, but you have to stick by the new schedule you had made in your work and blogging life. If you are a hard worker and have sole dedication to your work than no one can stop you. When you are disciplined, you will see you have more recreation time for you than you initially thought of. Take control of your time by not wasting your time and get things done before deadline.
6. Manage your time efficiently is the key to gain success in life, managing is okay, but using it efficiently is still bigger a question, make the maximum of the time available to you by dedicating your work time to work and recreation time to free time.
7. You can prepare a To-Do list which will help you long way in arranging your time schedule, you can dedicate each hour of your day to specific activity may be reading newspapers, writing for blogs, doing office project, time with kids, shopping, walking, etc.
8. Develop a routine that is ever lasting, get rid of your old habits and start afresh as if you are changing your life style and take control of things now rather they controlling you later.
9. Set your priorities, once when you are done with both of your calendars, match them to set your timings to particular activity in a day, it sometimes so happens something comes up urgently and you have to drop your usual plans, in such cases you have to give time to what is most urgent.

I hope by now, I have made myself clear of how to balance work life with blogging life. A work life is a work life and blogging life is a blogging life, understand this difference and you will automatically take charge of things, its about how much really you want to achieve in the world of blogging. Your work life is going to be forever but if you are looking for something different and want to have fun interacting, then blogging is surely the way. I have seen people make 30 hours of 24 hours in a day, now you had wonder how? The answer is by, using your time effectively and efficiently, prioritize your daily routine tasks and do them as needed, if some office urgency is there, leave your blogging life aside for some time that will only make you stronger and active in both the fields.

Successfully Pitching Bloggers

It’s been now a really long time I am into the world of blogging, I myself don’t remember when I started, perhaps at a very young age I had this vision of reaching out to the great entrepreneurs, talk to them and discuss ideas. Since last 2 years or so I have been pitching about my business ideas to big successful entrepreneurs and journalists, some of them did come to my rescue while others having busy lifestyle actually had NO reason to listen to me after all their business is much more important than mine. Still with one motto in mind I had been out contacting them, phoning them, emailing, etc. I did get a lot of response too which made me feel I am worthy of it and finally that I was successful in my work.

Sometimes I just think over the days when I started off, there were times when I was ignored and there were even times when I got messages which I was looking for. I got stuck with an idea of writing then, writings about successful pitches which differed far away than those which dint make any difference! Well, here is what I found out –

We have often come across successful individuals, who talk less but do more as the saying goes, “Action speaks louder than words”, I often think how successful entrepreneurs carry on with so many things at one go, then I got the answer its all about actions that matters. One of the main reasons of successful pitching was keeping it short and sweet, in our fast paced life no one has time to read long emails, letting all the details in just few short paragraphs helps as they are simple to read and up to the mark. You can share with the entrepreneurs the essential details what you want to put across without letting it look like an essay, we know that people are busy so make comfortable reading for them by putting lesser words and more meaning to it. And if by reading simple details that impresses them, they are surely going to mail you back for more details, isn’t it fair?

No matter how much ever big the enterprise, they will need people at your positions to work for them, you can state in your mails, easy agreements through which they can hire you for your talents, I have seen pitching does helps in this, as here you will state your qualifications and past achievements. Reach out and let them know of your qualities and you will get quick response if they are interested.

It’s very important to state a clear message in your headlines, this is the line that can impress someone to read further or simply delete without proceeding ahead. Write specific thing in your headlines; put your message across in few words. I know for small entrepreneurs, achieving the above stuff might not be as simple and easy, I have myself experienced some instances in which I have sent same mails to two different entrepreneurs, but got ignored by one, its all about individual perceptions too, that matters most of the time and the way you present yourself to the companies.

So take note of the above mentioned points and remember to follow the KISS rule that is “Keep It Short and Simple”, perhaps these might remind you every time you sit for pitching, All the best!!!
