Every Good Blog begins with a First Post, or Ten
Some people can spend hours or even days rewriting their title, description and first post for a new blog. An easier alternative is to just get stuck-in with those first ten posts.
So why do we say the first 10 posts?
- In most blog themes, it takes at least 5 to 10 posts in order for you to be able to see most of the body, form and structure of how the site will look. In other words, the template needs content.
- Having the goal of doing 10 posts may also help you to churn out that first post compared to the scenario where there’ll only be one featured post and hence all the pressure will be on it.
- The mindset of completing 10 posts will allow you to briefly touch on different areas that the blog will cover, instead of over concentrating on a particular topic. This will give you a better overview of the project to assist in the important early planning stage.
Tip: If you’re not sure what to write about, one common strategy is for new bloggers to share about their experience in starting a new blog.
Tip 2: Share info that will be useful to your reader. This does not include walking your dog or what you ate for dinner.
