The following are notes and tips from fabulous blogger Danielle Bruflodt.
How could blogging help you?
1) It puts your name out there.
2) You can control the content found when someone discovers your blog or social media accounts. What impression will you make?
3) It creates an online portfolio that speaks for itself.
4) Blogging teaches you valuable skills that you might not have had and helps improve the skills you already had.
5) Even if your career path doesn’t lead to blogging, the skillset is in demand for almost any occupation.
Tips for starting a blog.
1) Put thought into your name and brand so that you can avoid changing it later.
2) Learn to create your own graphics. Find a way to get free access to Photoshop and learn it.
3) Don’t focus on traffic. Put the content out there and focus on what you are creating and how you are presenting yourself.
4) Be consistent.
5) Look to the month ahead. You’ll be more likely to post if you plan in advance and the quality of your posts will likely improve.
6) Let your personality shine through in your writing.
7) You don’t have to be a great writer to be a blogger. You don’t have to be great at creating graphics to be a blogger. You don’t have to be great at social media or HTML or photography.
8) The Internet is your friend. Google and Youtube will become your best friends.
9) Be consistent with your branding and bio across all social media platforms. (logo, username, icons, business cards)
10) If you aren’t interested in being the “face” of a blog, look for a local blogger who needs help with ghost writing, graphic creation or social media and offer your services.
