Blogging Tips
A quality blog article should be precise. If your ideas are clearly explained in 200 words, there’s no need to stretch it out to a short novel. Additionally, most of us have an inherent tendency to talk (or on the web, to write) about ourselves. Sprinkling some personal touch is great, going on and on about your life – isn’t. Keep the reader in mind. In other words: Thou shalt love thy reader as thyself – and more.
The title is the gateway to your article. You want it to be a short, mobile-friendly attention grabber.
Remember that Kylie Minogue song, “Love at First Sight?” It’s one of the pillars of early millennium pop music. Besides the catchy tune that’s now going to stick with you for days, you can actually take away an important tip from her smash hit. Make your readers fall in love with your text right from the start. The intro, the very first words you write, holds the first and only opportunity to set the tone and reveal your approach for the whole article.
Hyperlinks are your connection to the outside world.
Spelling mistakes are a great way to let your readers know you don’t take them seriously. To err is human; to use spell checker, divine. With modern tools, publishing content containing spelling mistakes is just unprofessional. Don’t let them kill your post. Oh, and illogical sentences that were cut in the middle aren’t welcome either.
To err is human; to use spell checker, divine.
Can’t stand to look at the screen for one more second? No problem. Send the text to family members and friends to have another look at it. Fresh eyes will provide new insights and are always sharper when it comes to spelling errors.

You’ve probably wondered why how some people seem to be the only experts in their niche. The simple secret lies in being passionate about what they do.
The more passionate you become, the deeper you dig into your field and the more expertise you develop. Passion won’t allow you quit. It’ll keep you going all times whether the journey is rough or smooth.
You won’t care. If you can successfully identify what you’re passionate about, try to be the best at doing it.
I remember how Joseph friends used to call him a jobless internet addict then when he started Josylad dot Com. They laughed at him that he should do something better with his life rather than “writing and publishing articles”.
Joseph refused to listen to them because he was passionate about blogging, it’s something he enjoys doing that is why he has been able to successfully manage 4 blogs in just 2yrs.
Some remember the night he called to tell how his dorm mates gathered round him pleading to learn how to blog after he got a freelance job worth $900 dollars. It was so funny to hear that the same set of people who mocked him earlier want to learn from him.
This is what passion does for you; it lifts you above mockery and brings your career into the limelight.
Dear friend, I hope you've learned one or two things from this post concerning turning your career around. Write them down and read every day to let them serve as a guide to your blogging success.
