Here is a little introduction to get you in the right mindset and set you up for success. One thing to remember in blogging that's super important is to make sure that you have a voice and that you're known echo of everyone else out there. And secondly, it will always seem impossible until it's actually done. And that's true across so many things, especially in blogging. Trust me. When I first started, I took probably more than a week to actually just to even create a simple website that I'm satisfied with from my block. But the perfection that side of me actually help me back. Um, Amy, take a lot longer than I should have to create something that I'm finally happy with. And here's a little truth, and no one really tells you about blogging. You are actually your own best secret weapon. Your blawg. It's full of you and your personal brand of goodness. No one can ever take that away from you. Think of all the things that someone could copy from you. They could rip off your website, design your logo, your writing style, your images or your social media posts. They can, and they probably will. But you see, no one can never take away your uniqueness. No one would ever have your exact traits that makes you uniquely who you are. Are you incredibly serious and studios, or maybe your huge fun of romantic comedies? Or perhaps you traveled the globe the lost 30 40 years. Or maybe you're just really interested in the difference of various species of lizards? I don't know, but there's something about you that makes you uniquely you. And that is why readers will come back to your block time and time again. So here's a question I want to ask you. What is your secret superpower that no one else has? Start with what you believe in your mission. Well, you're passionate about. Then dive deeper into how you can stand out from the crowd. There's something special in every single one of us, and it might just take that blogger yours to get it out. So don't be an echo. Start with your own voice and your audience will love you for it and lost Lee. I just want to mention that making a blawg, it could be the easy part, but it will require a lot of effort on your part to carry 1/3. So made that decision today that you will be consistent with your blogging time and time again. It's an activity that requires law, time and efforts, devotion, commitment and lots of discipline. And just to be clear, these are all good things to embrace. They will help to get the most of your life and your time creating the bloody just the beginning. And the hard part is actually called me up. So make sure that you set yourself, ah, great standards right regularly to your dedicated readers. Create the blawg with a long vision in mind and you will succeed. 4. What is Blogging?: what is blogging and why you should do it in this section. I want to take you back and help you understand blogging. Ah, lot better and the type of opportunities there are out there for your new block. I like to define blogging as a unique platform to share your thoughts, feelings, opinions on experiences with your audience. Think about it. We all love to recommend something we found enjoyable or beneficial, whether it could be a nice restaurant. Ah, great book or a new outlook in life. The fullness of joy is no experienced until we have share that joy with others. A block provides an opportunity to do that very thing to share. It provides a platform to share the joy we have experienced on recommend good things we have discovered to others. Blogging tops into the hair and joy we have since the beginning of time by passing of ICTs through wars of mouth, except now doing it on a digital platform with ability to expand our audience to millions or even billions. The power of technology has changed the way we broadcast our views. Play has not changed the way we connect between ourselves as human beings. There are many forms of blogging on doesn't just involve writing. Surprisingly, as you may find out, there are video blocks on YouTube all your block, such as Paul casts and photo blog's like on Instagram and many more different forms. So don't limit yourself, which is one form of medium. Instead, go for the ones that speak to your natural form of communication. The best enjoy this powerful platform and the men's responsibility that comes with it. 5. Your Blogging Potential: and just a showcase. How popular blogging became as a career or just a Zahavi. There are actually, on average, 3.9 million block posts written every single day, as quoted by Technorati. Although there this many blog's being written every day, don't be discouraged. This can only mean that there's so many opportunities and so many topics to ride about around your passions on your mission in the world. The amount of opportunity in the online world is expanding every minute of every day until it's in 16. There were 3.5 billion users online, and this number is expected expand to 7.6 billion by 2020. That means there are over 2.9 billion users for you to potentially reach out to in the next four years. That's 2.9 billions off new readers, and the opportunities are just endless 6. Choosing a Profitable Topic for Your Blog: And now I'm gonna show you how to choose a profitable topic for your blawg and something that you be into the right for for a very long time. How to find your ideal topic. There's so many factors to consider when selecting a topic that would produce desirable profits for yourself or you allow you to build a large and dedicate the audience for your blog's. I'm sure right now in your head they're selling different ideas that you're thinking about . But here, the things that you need to consider you must think about the public interest. Your knowledge of the topic is longevity, and the audience is interest in that topic. It's also very important to look at your competition and develop a way to deliver content that is very different. That's a lot better and even more engaging. Start by bringing storming several possible topics you might like to use and then consider these following factors. First audience. Who's the audience for this topic? As a blogger? Will you be able to cater to the audience and right or produce content in the way that the all aliens will relate to second long term appeal? This is topic have a long term of hell. Can you write for a long period time on this topic over and over again without running out of ideas? Will it still be relevant in, let's say, six months time or a year's time, or even two or five years or 10 years from now? Thirdly, global region size. How big is this target audience for the topic? How will you reach the intended audience to tell them about your block? The bigger doesn't always mean the better. Sometimes a niche might be just what you're looking for. A swell, so make sure to consider carefully fourth, constant generation. How will there be enough to write about topic in the future? I mean off the top of your head? Can you write down at least 25 things you like to block about in the future? And trees? Will you be able to come up with a new thing to block about every week, for instance, if that's how regularly you want to block, or just something to keep your content fresh over the long term so your readers will not get bored. Fifth competition. Very importantly, how much competition is there? a base in your topic. If there are a lot of people rising about it, that's actually a good thing, because that means they're actually an interesting market of tall, your target audience who are willing to read about what you have to say. Consider other blog's research on the websites, magazines and your industry. Newspapers newsletters Look on YouTube for a different type of logs, TV shows, radio shows, Paul casts, Facebook pages and any of the content that's out there that's already targeting your audience. What they're saying to them, what's their most popular topic? How did actually reach out there? All the ins effectively learn and take notes on Lost Lee. New approaches Do you have a new angle or perspective that you can do differently to make your own content? Even Maura peeling, engaging, entertaining or more interactive 7. Your Target Readers: and now I really want to focus on your target readers and make sure that we get this one right before you even create that Blawg. Believe it or not, writing for a few is actually easier than writing for many, and that's true in so many ways. So without target audience, it can be really difficult to keep our topics and block post ideas on track. Think about the rights. If you're reading a block post that's targeted a many different type of people, do you feel like it's actually speaking out to you? Probably not. So what's stopping us from writing apart lizards one day and business another, For instance, when we find and understand our target audience, we now our focus on make topics elections so much easier if our audience our lizard and through the ass, for instance, what topics are you going to choose now in your audiences instantly make us more strategic and focused. The audience have needs and preferences. They're very unique to them if we're still targeting. Although mechanics on, let's say, lizard through the ESTs, no, only do we know that we need to write about cars and lizards but specifically how to fix cars, for instance, this can lead us to write articles about certain car accessories, radios, repair of methods and maybe even in Southern used are important to them. Like specific races, they're happening around the world. Even within a very niche topic. There are so many things to write about. If you just bring storm the right way, which I will show you later on, you should be asking yourself these four main questions when think about your ideal audience and readers. If you don't yet know the answer to these questions, and then the most important thing to do right now is to figure them out before you go on to the next slide. So number one. What type of things are they interested in? To what topics do they think about the most? Three? What are their most common problems that may need solving. For instance, if you're writing a travel block, for instance, then think about the things that people are researching for when they're searching for flights online. Perhaps you'd like to know about the best deal of star going on with different and flight companies the moment or perhaps one of the best things that he can eat or stay or play in the specific city. And lastly, what keeps him up at night? What type of problems do you think that they might be having? So these are over interesting questions that you need to make sure you know about your audience before you start writing your content. Another great way to understand our audience is to do some basic research, while other bloggers are your audience reading of the moment. Can we find any similarities? In order to understand our target audience, we must follow along with what they do by following them on Twitter or read in the same block, say read. We have to know where they're coming from and what they enjoyed the most. Once we chose in the audience and you talk to them, understand where they're coming from, as well as developing understanding of who they are and what they want to hear from us the most. Then we will need to apply it to our writing. This goes beyond the topics and categories that we select and should be embedded directly into the words that we will put on the page on our website 8. Idea Generation - Blogging Topics: here are some general areas of topics for you to consider that I thought might be really helpful. For every potential blogging topic, You can offer a range of opinions, experiences, your commentary and how to information. Plus, you can delve into sub topics or related themes. You can also focus on any controversy or trending topic. There are surrounding this current area as a way to engage your audience. Even better, the falling in just a few general areas he might consider blogging about one industry oriented topics focus on the specific industry on block about that industry as a whole, much of the time preparing the content. It will be spend searching for industry news, fully industry trends on doing, reporting on industry breakthroughs and discussing any potential news I might be flowing around. Personal Blog's. This will be based on a lawyer interests and hobbies. Many successful bloggers don't cover just one specific topic, but rather they might cover a variety topics in a very entertaining way. If you're good at making people laugh that maybe try doing humor, blogger, or if you're artists, photographer, musician, songwriter, poet or other creative types of people, you could share your work online bill. Defend based that way. Political topics. If you have in an in form and insightful opinion or an interesting way to communicate your opinions, thoughts and ideas, then you should consider a political blawg. And if you like to run a political blawg but not assert your personal opinion, consider doing your blawg as a filter for your readers to think about all the political spins air happening at the moment. Fourth, perhaps the hobby or special interest. Blawg. Many people have achieve incredible success by simply choosing and topic. They were ready passion about their hobbies. In the blogosphere, you'll find entertaining, informative, gossipy and how two blocks about all sorts of stuff. The trick for these type of blog's It's a fun in each that you know about on are interested in and can share unique perspective about that topic. And lastly, just a general interest block. Don't limit yourselves the topic areas discussed so far there are thousands of possibilities have yet to be explored. You never know what will catch on or spark the interest of millions of people, especially given the wall far effect off the Internet. If you have a crazy idea that my just work, then go ahead and give it a shot. The most important thing to remember when choosing a topic to block about is to choose a topic that won't dry up. Public interest rarely stays on one topic for a very long time, so be sure the choose a topic that has held the interest of your target audience for a very long time. I will continue to do so in the future. 9. Choosing Your Blogging Platform: Hi.
