Why hyperlinks are important?

 Use images to tell the story We live in a visual world where Images often tell a story, enhance and complement what you’ve written. Do not use photos downloaded from Internet because majority of them are protected by copyright. Create your own pictures that explain the text and stay on the right side of the law.

Think carefully about links

Hypertext makes the Internet different from all other media—hypertext is the "h" in "HTTP", the whole foundation of the Web which take us to a specific page on another website with a single click. Hyperlinks direct the reader to further information by linking to the primary source, you direct the curious reader to the original, in-depth source of the information. Be creative with your links, use links to add credibility to your posts by allowing the reader to examine your sources. Give your readers something informative they can’t easily find for themselves, try not to link to Wikipedia. Try to create a community with your blog by linking other bloggers specific blog post, Google’s search engine takes links into account in its ranking of websites in a search. There’s nothing wrong with linking in a new post to one of your previous posts once you are done with writing your blog post.

Few questions to ask yourself before blogging

The first step is to determine the type of blog you want to run, you should try to answer the following important questions before proceeding.
Solo vs. Collective
Solo blogs » relatively easy to start, » You are the boss, » you express your thoughts on the Web.
Collective Blog » team effort » crank out content very quickly because of many authors » greater variety of topics and viewpoints
General vs. Niche
After deciding you will run a blog by yourself or with the help of a few people, move on to another important question and the choice you make has a lot to do with your personality and interests. ls your blog going to cover a specific topic or it will be general ?
» Niche blog is narrow in scope on a specific subject.
» General blog gives you more room to express your thoughts.
According to me it’s much harder to succeed with a general blog than it is with a niche one because niche blogs tend to make it more obvious why a visitor should subscribe.
Your Niche?
You should identify the main topic for your niche based to know what the boundaries for the blog are, as well as what does and doesn’t belong on your site.
Jot down a list of ten articles you could write for your blog, after picking the main topic.
Write just the titles, don’t write actual articles yet.
Ask yourself whether doing this exercise left you excited or frustrated, was it hard to come up with ten titles or could you have kept going for ages?.

Size of Your Niche?
You may want to assess the size of your potential audience before committing to your blog
This step can help you determine if it’s worth pursuing or not, if you are trying to establish yourself in a very small niche and you are uncertain about its size.
We are after an estimate rather than exact numbers, estimate the size of your niche will also turn out to be invaluable when  researching keywords and topics for your articles later on.
Your Blog’s Main Topic?


Your site is going to have a main theme, whether you opted for a niche blog or for a more general one. The scope will be well defined and easy to identify in a niche blog. For general blogs it can be less defined and much looser. You need to have an initial idea of what topics you’re going to cover in your blog according to your interest.

Give your blog a standing design and a headline, a share button and time stamp

A blog should have a distinctive look to make it stand out from the hundreds of millions of other blogs on the Web. Reader's eyes go to the top of a web page first, So give your page an attractive headline and a standing design. Your photo at the top of your blog or a great logo on the page helps establish your personality.
Use a time stamp
The time stamp is particularly important when you're blogging about the news, sports, or even the weather, time stamp tells the reader the date, year and time you published each blog post.
When readers come across something you wrote they'll want to know when it was written, your most recent blog post will always appear on top of your blog. Changing a time stamp is unethical, in most blog software time stamps can be changed.
Offer share buttons
Most of your readers won't come to your blog directly, instead they'll find it either through a search engine or social media.
Share buttons are one of the best ways to build readership to your blog, with one click share your blog post via email or on any number of social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, Tumbler, Pinterest or Reddit. Make sure to include share buttons on your blog, if blogging software doesn't include share buttons, you may need to add a plug-in share button and plug-ins are easy to install.

Why Headlines Matter?

Readers tap the mouse to leave your blog behind and head off to somewhere more interesting on the Internet, If your first sentence doesn't engage the reader. The sign on a storefront is important it tells you what store sells, likewise with attractive headline readers would know instantly what the blog post is about. The headline on a blog post is more important and has to be interesting enough to convince you to read further. Headlines are that important because it tells you the post is about and draws the reader into the post and contains keywords that Google and other search engines will look for. Good blog headline combines cleverness, usefulness and smart SEO. Write a crisp, clear headline to lure both readers and search engines.

How to write a blog post?

Collect your research and collect your thoughts.
Audience makes every post effective, you'll need an original but focused topic, a clear headline that attracts reader in; good pictures or graphics, tight writing; links to other media and the opportunity for others to talk with you or talk back at you. Nowadays too many bloggers just fire up their blogging software,write article and hit "Publish Post", unfortunately their posts are rarely worth reading. Writing is a process and it begins with your choice of a topic, you have to organize and clarify your
thoughts to gather information.
Take example of a restaurant review and start collecting information=
What's on the menu?
What's the signature dish?
How is the food prepared?
What are the prices?
Similarly you can collect your own thoughts.
