Did you realise we have moved the Blogging Tips to a separate blog post each week? These tips earlier used to be clubbed with the Wordy Wednesday prompts.
This week’s Tip:
Learn to engage effectively
Blogging is only half the job. The real hard work lies in engagement. We all blog. We do it for a number of reasons. But with over a million blogs out there and counting, your voice isn’t going to be heard if you’re not engaging with your audience the right way. So here are things you can do:
- Use social media to share your posts
- Engage in a conversation with your friends and followers
- Follow the people you admire for their work and share their content too when it is something you really admire
- Pick the social media platforms that work for your niche and optimise their reach
- Dedicate a time of day to pure engagement. Don’t only push your posts. Show your personal side- be kind, funny, inspiring, emotional. People identify with a person better than they do with a blogging entity.

Agree. Agree. Agree 1000%. And the opposite it also true. Stop engaging effectively and watch your blog stats drop. Very well said — thank you!
