I just thought I had better count up how many blogs I had done as I had lost track of the date, and I was very pleased to see that yesterday was my 30th - that was a nice surprise.
What I wanted to achieve at the end of this was to get clear on to blog or not to blog, and if I were to what that would look like for me and how to make it work. I have already been sharing my learnings along the way, however here is my summary of what works for me
With that I am going to say a big YIPPEE IYE AYE - I have completed and now gone beyond my 30 day challenge, with this being post 31 !!
What I wanted to achieve at the end of this was to get clear on to blog or not to blog, and if I were to what that would look like for me and how to make it work. I have already been sharing my learnings along the way, however here is my summary of what works for me
- Make it fun not a chore
- Be authentic and don't try to hard
- Just get started, find a bite sized piece and get going
- Proof read and spell check before posting the blog
- Jot down topic ideas and write up drafts when inspiration strikes, so you know they are captured
- Get into the habit of writing regularly - just make time to write at least weekly
- The more I write the more ideas I have and the easier the flow seemed to be
- My preferred topics - Authentic Living, Authentic Leadership, Inspiration and Wisdom in Action
- Build a collection of posts in draft format to get you started and tie it into a marketing strategy to build web presence or expertise in a particular area
- Draw on my own personal experiences or topics that regularly feature in client sessions (all within the bounds of confidentiality goes without saying, but I will as it is important)
- It can also be a quote, a resource, a video clip or something that someone has shared with me that I have found valueable
- Use colour and graphics in your posts - I like them anyway
- Check out all your website functionality regarding posts
