Editor’s Journal #6: Things I’ve Learned Blogging

I have been blogging for a while now, and I currently publish 6-7 blog posts every day. I optimise all of my blog posts and hope that people will find them on search engines. I love it when people find my work on the WordPress Reader, and I work hard every single day to improve the quality of the blog. During all this, I have learned a few valuable things, and in this blog post I will share some with you:

Behaviour is important

One of the words that comes up the most in blog posts is ‘behaviour’ or ‘behaviours’. This tells me that for me behaviour is important. And indeed it is, for instance, a lot of of what I do behind the scenes is analyse reader behaviour. Yes, what people do matters.

Patience is a must

To start a blog and see it grow takes time. Somehow, as a blogger, you will inevitably learn to be patient if you are to survive. Most things related to blogging certainly require patience.

SEO is a long-term project

Apart from being patient, I have also have had to learn to manage my projects in a long-term basis as things like SEO take time to take effect.

Not everything is going to turn out as you expect

Blogging is a very experimental process, and there are many failures before an achievement. It’s important to maintain optimistic about goals. It takes several failures before achieving success.

People are valuable

Different people with diverse interests are valuable to blogging. I mean, what’s the point of blogging if no one is going to read you? The reader is essential to the business of blogging, and so I value my readers and ensure I provide high quality content.

Journal’s Prompt

Both of my parents were working at my age, trying to make a living. They were very good looking, and active socially. My mother was a volleyball player, and she was a model too. She was always at an event when she was not taking care of me. I barely remember much of when they were my age, though, as I was only a toddler when my mother was my age. At the time, my Dad was a hippy. They are both very hard-working individuals and this has always been the case.
