Blogging in 2022: 5 easy ways to improve your blog

blogging in 2020

Blogging in 2020 has become more fun than it was a few years back. Having a blog means writing content that provides value to your audience, enlightening them on educative and fun topics.

I started by blog in 2013, and it has been awesome. Needless to say that, I agree with the fact that there are a lot of upgrade available now that I wish I had access to when I initially started my blog.

If I were to start my blog all over in 2020, there are a couple of things I would do differently.

Let’s talk about them. 

5 thing To do before and while Blogging in 2022

1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT BLOGGING PLATFORM: 

The first thing to put in mind when you are about to start a blog in 2020 is picking the right blogging platform; having a successful blog depends on the platform you choose.

Most blogging beginners prefer using free platforms, which I don’t recommend. Yes, I started my blog with a free blogging platform, and it was not easy for me because there were a lot of limits to the changes I could make on my blog.

Search engine optimization wasn’t in my favor, so it felt like a waste of time because when you use a free platform, you don’t have total control, there is little or no access to customization, and it makes it hard to monetize your blog.

So before you start your blog now, research the blogging platform of your choice.

2. THEME AND BLOG TEMPLATE: 

Having a beautiful blog theme makes reading from your blog more fun. So try to invest in your blog themes because that’s the first thing your audience sees before clicking on a post.

When picking a blog theme, either free or a paid theme, I recommend you choose a straightforward and clean theme that is also mobile-friendly – people mainly check blogs with their mobile devices – according to my blog analytics, 70% of my blog readers use their mobile devices. Try to research the type of theme you want before putting your blog out there.

3. BRAINSTORM POST IDEAS:

When starting a blog, you should have contents that will last you for a while, and to do this, you need to find Your niche, find bloggers who post content related to your niche and create a post calendar.

  • To find your niche, you need to outline the things you are passionate about, making it easy to create fun content.
  • When researching other blogs, observe how detailed and outlined their contents are.
  • Creating a post calendar helps you set aside days to post on your blog – I recommend you post your actual content on Wednesdays; statistic shows that most people are online on Wednesdays.

Always add a picture to your blog post and between highly long posts to help your reader assimilate your content better.

4. HOW TO MAKE MONEY: 

When I started blogging, I didn’t know I could make money, nor did I understand how it works, but this is 2020 people know about making money through blogging.

I would advise that you begin researching the different means of making money and also start abiding by their policy. To monetize your blog, there are certain things to do, and I recommend you mind the things you do with your blog, do not copy other people’s posts and also try to type more than 500 words per post or at least more than 300 words.

5. INVEST IN SEO: 

Search engine optimization is the second most important thing for a blog after good content, and you can’t have great content without inputting SEO-friendly keywords.

SEO is vital if you want to find your blog online. Here are some tips to optimize your blog :

  • Do keyword research
  • Add those keywords to your blogpost
  • Add alt text to your images
  • Create Backlinks for your blog
  • Ensure your blog is mobile optimized.

There are a couple of things you can add to your blog to help you rank in the search engines.

Finally, Everything I listed in this post is essential in ensuring that you have a fantastic blog in 2022.
