ideas
Now that you have signed up for a blog, what’s next?
Maybe like me, you started a blog because you have so many ideas brimming inside your head. Ideas that you are dying to share with whoever cares to read them. You also have lots of time on your hands. This is wonderful for you will never run short of ideas to write.
There are of course many things that will need to know. The first naturally would be your topic must be something which will be of interest. Assuming someone does bump into your blog, they are not going to pay scant attention if you write gibberish. Believe me; those who do pop in have the attention span of a goldfish. They come and will click out within seconds if the first line does not attract them. So, be warned-write something catchy and interesting.
It is sad but interesting that the big items are sex, scandals and politics. There are no shortages of celebrity glamour blogs. Examples are jezebel, perezhilton and justjared. On fashion you have sartorialist and luxist. A Lifestyle blog I like is habituallychic authored by Heather Clawson for its beautiful shots of New York and her musings on books.
If you are not a famous personality, which goes for the great majority of us, then you could blog about your talents. You could be a great engineer so you can blog about engineering. You could be a marketing expert then you can blog about selling or advertising. You love cats which makes popular blogs. You may have a unique and interesting hobby which could be your main theme. You can write on politics (but be careful not to slander), real estate, movies, religion, technology…the list is endless!
But don’t ever blog about what you do in the morning, what you had for lunch unless you are Jack Bauer.
