Here are a few of our favorite blog­ging tips for the week:

This is probably the most important thing to learn as a blogger, new or old! Learning to ask for help and advice will take you far in life. Not any single person knows everything there is to know about any industry. The most successful people learn to utilize their strengths, and ask for help or advice as it relates to their weaknesses. The sooner you learn to work as a team with other bloggers, the better off you will be. After all, the better we are individually, the more seriously we are as industry professionals! Work together to be the best you can be! It’s not a competition, it’s a team effort!

Lists are so easy to write, and to read! You want your information to be as clear-cut and to the point as possible. Lists give you the most bang for your buck in a single post.

Most of the time, people are commenting on your posts because they want to read more about what you are saying. They took the time to leave you a comment or ask you a question, make sure you take the time to return the favor!

Descriptive text is important. You want your writing to create visual images in your reader’s head. However, actual images are just as important. Use them to illustrate your point, catch a readers eye, or if nothing else make sure you have a pin-able image to use on Pinterest! 

This goes along with the first tip, it’s just so important to realize that it is OK to ask for help, and it is OK not to know everything. The most intelligent and successful people in the world got that way because they knew when to ask others for help.

The most important thing to remember is that your readers can tell if you are being authentic. If you don’t really mean what you are saying, people will catch on immediately, and they won’t want to hear what you are writing. The best way to make sure that you are always being authentic is to write about what your passionate about. If your passion shows in your writing, people will sense that, and that kind of passion is contagious!

Thanks for the great tip @Scrappiedoodle!

This is a great tip from @Notnowmomsbusy! Building relationships with readers, brands, and other bloggers is how you get ahead in the blogging world. People want to know the real you. It is just as important as great content that people keep coming back for!

Take the time to learn about and invest in proper SEO strategies! One of these strategies is having a searchable title that is on topic. Make sure that people can find your site when they are searching for what you are writing about. If you are writing about cute puppies, you don’t want you title to be “cute things I like” – no one who is looking for cute puppies will be able to find you! Thanks for this reminder @Trimestertalk!

At the end of the day, writing is just about expressing your feelings and emotions. Even in technical writing, you are trying to get people interested in what you have to say. Describe those feelings and emotions to your readers. Make them feel what you feel! That is how you bring people in!

People want to know you take your blog seriously. Never skimp on content. You should always take the time and effort to write about something that people want to read about. Your readers will be able to tell the difference between something that you but your heart into, and something you just threw together in the last minute. Take the time and produce something worthwhile. Your readers will thank you!

Take the time to focus on SEO. Make your website and your individual blog posts SEO friendly. SEO is how you make your website and content come up in searches naturally or “organically” without paying for an advertisement. Basically, it’s how you connect your content with the readers who are looking for it. This is probably the most important step to getting your content seen on the web.

Let’s face it, as Bloggin’ Mamas we are ALL busy. There is always going to be something else we could be doing. To-do lists are always going to be miles and miles long. If you are going to commit to producing valuable, SEO friendly, useful content for your readers this year you can to commit the time to doing it. Maybe it’s 3o minutes a week, maybe it’s an hour a day. Commit to the time and stick to it! Set a timer and force yourself to work for that period of time. You might not get everything all done, but it is a great way to keep yourself from getting distracted by… well LIFE!
