What Happened In My First month Of Blogging?
WHAT HAPPENED IN MY FIRST MONTH OF BLOGGING?
Well, I wasn't really interested at all in blogging until this last December that is a month ago. While I was surfing the internet I came across "wordpress" advertisement and I clicked on it, so it took me to the Sign-Up page and I thought that I should give it a shot and I entered my details and signed up. Then they asked me to name my site and I didn't even take a second to think of a name and i named it " Daily Thoughts". I actually didn't really take it very serious so I gave it a random name. Then I started thinking about posting something. And my first post was about "Facts About Cold And Flu" and it was seen by only 25 people, though that was quite a lot for me.
After a few days I switched to Blogger (and I'm still on it) i don't know why I did but yeah blogger is quite nice. Well, after importing my posts here I left blogging and thought that its not something I'm really interested in. Though around mid December I came across one artist on Instagram and was really fascinated by her sketches and I asked her about her drawings and some tips(because I'm an art person too). And she was kind enough to give me some tips. And I decided to post an article about her and her drawings so I told her that I want to post about her on my Blog and she was really nice to email me her details and her drawings and soon I wrote the article and posted it. And because she was quite famous and had quite a nice following I was able to bag a few ore views than usual.
The increase in views really made me happy and for the first time i took these views seriously and wanted them to keep increasing. and earlier views, really didn't matter to me as the posts that I had been posting as just a part of my experiment with blogging. I began to search more about blogging tips and saw a lot of income reports and i thought even I want to monetize my blog but for that traffic is really important. And the way the pro bloggers gives the tips they aren't really easy to implement in real and start gaining traffic, they make it sound so easy that one will think that once they do what they said they'll start getting thousand of views the next moment.
I started spending hours researching about blogs and monetizing tips and I started taking my blog and its posts very seriously and blogging all the more got way more interesting. But I struggled with choosing the topics to blog about (and I still am) because I am quite interested in Art so i thought I should start posting my drawings and a lot of drawing tips but I also wanted to post about some motivational+ everyday life things and how to handle them, I also loved making memes (even though some of them are cringey).
I decided to make different blogs for my different interests and that really needs time and a lot of hard work . I've already made an art blog but haven't started posting really well, you can check it out here.
Though for now I'm just thinking about gaining some decent amount of traffic and will think about monetizing when its the right time. Right now I'm focusing on the content of my blog and trying to make it helpful for my audience.
Writing good content and helpful content is really important to gain audience for your blog because if your content is really helpful for them they'll come back to you for more helpful content .

I made a facebook page for my blog but within a few minutes after posting my blog link it suspended my account , that really pissed me off so I made another account and they did the same thing and even Instagram blocked my website link after facebook did and on Instagram the link had been there since I started my Instagram account. But when fb did that to my link so did Instagram. Now i just post on my twitter account that's it.
When you're totally new its good to research about it and subscribe to some nice 5 to 6 day course so that they'll guide you through the basics and tips. During my research I learnt about SEO, backlinks, Keywords and so many things. Though I still have to learn a lot of things about them. It'll take some time and dedication with hardwork but it will work. Make sure to have definite goals and strategy and planning about your blog and its content so that you're not all over the place and you are aware what you're going to do next.
Reading other blogger's guides will help you understand blogging more nicely. So make sure you keep an eye on the way they write and how their content looks appealing and try to grasp it make sure to check this book out The Content writing guide.
