I will of course assume that you know what a blog is and that you have made the decision to start blogging using Blogger or WordPress.
What then? How can you create a successful professional blog? What are the exact steps you have to follow?
In this article you will learn the following:
- What is the concept of “writing dynamism” and how do you determine the appropriate topic for your blog.
- How to make a list of different topics that you can create a specialized blog on.
- How to choose the topic that is most suitable for you and which will give you the best chances of success.
- What is the next step after choosing and defining a blog topic?
What is the concept of “writing dynamism” and how do you determine the appropriate topic for your blog
The concept of writing dynamism is based on the following: “Good writing is that which focuses on the writing process and not on its final outcome.”
In other words, the most important thing to write good and useful material is to enjoy the writing process itself, not to put your best effort into it.
Do you understand what I mean? It is very important that you understand this principle.
Let's dig into it more: Suppose you love sewing (stitching clothes) so much that when you sew, you don't realize any sense of time..
It's like you're entering the dynamic and world of the stitching situation.
This is an example of you enjoying the process of stitching regardless of the final output, whether it's a jersey, pants, or shirt.
What drives you is the stitching itself. Do you see the difference between the process and the output?
As for the world of blogging, from my own experience, I think it is very necessary:
- To blog about a topic you love.
- Have fun in the blogging process and in creating content related to your blog.
If you meet these conditions, you have come a long way towards creating a successful blog.
Indeed, I can only stress the importance of these two points, because if you don't have them you will never make a successful blog.
To prove this, consider the following example:
Let's say you love money very much and want to collect as much of it so you decide to become a dentist because you know that dentists have high salaries.
But if you do not like dentistry itself, then soon or far you will realize that your work is very boring and you will not enjoy your life even though your salary is very high!
If you love dentistry, you will become a skilled doctor who enjoys his work and has a high and luxurious standard of living!
Of course, in order to become a skilled dentist, you must have the skills of a dentist…
That is, you must have knowledge, knowledge and knowledge of what you are doing or writing about!
How to make a list of different topics that you can create a specialized blog on
Although you are familiar with the principle of writing dynamism, the question remains how to determine the topic of your blog that will give you the most chances of success.
I will explain exactly that to you in this section.
First I advise you to make a list of the following:
- Each topic you have a lot of information about. It could be something about your identities, your job, your interests, or something you are highly skilled at.
- Every topic you love to learn, study and read about it.
- Every subject you are naturally good at. That is, you have high skills and competencies in his regard.
- Everything you can do with quality and accuracy.
Of course, some topics may fall under more than one list. Did not matter.
The important thing is to come up with as many topics as you can write about.
In order to choose your favorite topic. I highly recommend that you use the “mind mapping” tools in this exercise if you have mastered them.
How to choose the topic that is most suitable for you and which will give you the best chances of success
It is easy to make a list of all the topics that you can write about, especially if you follow the previous advice.
The most important issue is how to decide which topic is most suitable for you.
In fact, no one can answer this question but you.
But there is a very important “secret” when determining the appropriate topic: the need! You have to find out how much people "need" the information you provide.
Whatever the topic, you have to make sure that there are people who are interested in it and who will “benefit” from it.
Whatever the nature of this benefit.
To help you more, I advise you to do a preliminary study of what is already available on the subject and what is missing.
All of this will help you decide what topics you need to write about in order to present important new material that others need.
Study the sites and forums that already exist on the Internet and what they lack.
If your topic is new, make sure that someone is interested in it other than you.
You can also start with a six-month beta blog that you regularly rate and review based on visitors' interactions and comments.
