How To Write A World Famous Blog
Welcome To The “Blogosphere”!
Communication online has become the fastest way of spreading news and information. Blogging and learning how to create a blog only became a trend in the mid 2000’s due to peoples select interest in online newspapers, magazines and web pages.
There are simple steps that you can take to get yourself started.
1) Choosing your topic
Write down what are some of the things that you are most interested and passionate about. Create a quirky name to fit with those topics. Remember that a blog is meant to represent who you are and what you love. Most of the time the only association with the blogger is through reading their blog, you want your page to reflect who you are inside and out.
2) When are you going to post
Decide on how often you are going to post new things onto your blog. Posting once a day is a good routine to follow, whereas 3 short posts spread out over the day is best. Write anytime of the day, as long as the content is catchy you will be hooking more and more readers.
3) Get your things in order
Before you get started stock up at least a months material before you go “live”. Get writing and don’t look back. After your content is stockpiled spread the news about your blog. Tell friends about it and encourage them to spread the news.
4) Use the internet to see what’s trending
Search for the most loved, popular and followed blogs on the internet. Read them and continuously post to their page. Make sure to leave a comment that is relevant to their site that shows them that you are paying attention to their blog.
When you comment it normally links back to your blog.

A link back to your site is automatically provided when you comment on somebody else’s post. The more comments you leave on other sites the more traffic will hopefully head to yours.
