My 5 Top Tips for New Bloggers.

Okay, after much thought and analysis, below are my 5 tips for new bloggers, which I am one of them.

1. One must always keep it simple and proof read.
My philosophy is that everything in life should stay as simple as possible. It stops misunderstandings and if what you are reading is complex, eventually your brain will turn off and you will not remember anything of what you have just read.

Proof reading your post before publishing it, will avoid looking like and uneducated person. Good grammar and spelling is essential to all forms of writing. I am still re-learning the grammar side of things, so there is room for improvement. haaa.

2. One must always be polite.
Being polite is an essential ingredient any form of communication. One must always remember that there is actually a human being on the other end of the message/post/blog and that they have feelings as well. One idea would to be very clear in what you are writing and balanced.

3. Keep it light, fun, and interesting.
Nothing says boring like an uninteresting blog. I think blogs are meant to be light, fun, and interesting. Adding a bit of your personality lets the reader understand a bit more about the way you write. I think your blog should put a smile on the reader's face.

4. Stay true to yourself.
One must never pretend to be something one is not, as it will always come back and bite you on your bottom. If you do not know what you are writing about that will be apparent to the reader, and you will look silly. If you stay true to yourself you will win more and more readers, as I think everyone prefers honesty to dishonesty.

5. Always reference your sources appropriately.
If you ever use someone elses work, make sure that you reference their work appropriately. This will avoid plagiarism and any legal ramifications. Plus it is just good form and shows that you respect the original author's views and opinions.

Anyway they are what I think every new blogger should think about before publishing a blog, unfortunately I did it backwards but hey sometimes it pays to just jump into the deep end and see if you either sink or swim.

Happy blogging.....
