How to Start Writing a Blog – A Beginner’s Guide
Posted by Preeti Prakash on August 17, 2010 in Blogging
Today, one of my SEO fellows asked me, how she can start to write a blog post? What topic to choose? So, here it is for you sweetie!
Ok, so now you are all set. You have created a blog and leaning back at the chair just thinking what to write about! Aaah!!! This is the biggest thing that happens with each one of us and that’s why many people refrain from writing. This, in blogosphere, is known as ‘the writer’s block’. Overcoming writer’s block is not difficult. You don’t just have to think. Spare some time from your busy schedule and start writing. Start jotting down whatever comes to your mind. You read an article in newspaper today and want to convey your thoughts on it… write it down!
Hey! It started raining outside all of a sudden. What a pleasant weather! Birds chirping, sun shining, people going to work… Just write down what you feel at the moment. You will love it whenever you read your blog the next time. Tell your friends and family about it. They will be happy to read your nice random thoughts.
For a beginner, topic is not important. Once you learn the art of writing, you can write on any topic of your choice. May be later you can write a book by writing a few words in morning and other few in evening! 
Do’s and Don’ts of Blogging
There are a few things that you should remember while writing a blog:
- Don’t publish any personal or private information. It may harm you.
- If you want to publish something against someone, do at your own risk.
- Be very polite and use an impressive language.
- Arouse the interest of readers with your words.
- Choose the subject you have a passion for. It should reflect your knowledge about the subject.
- Make blogging your hobby.
- Put some of your valuable time in writing the post and have patience.
- If you are not one of the lucky god-gifted writers, don’t worry, you will learn from practice.
- Do not violate someone’s copyright.
- If you want to quote something you find interesting, do always mention the source.
- Read other’s blogs to get ideas.
See, it was that easy! Share your experiences with me about your first blog. Happy blogging!

Hi Sharon,
Before working on any site, you should first understand the industry and what the business is about. So, firstly understand what type of services/products your client is providing, only then you will be able to post any comments for him.
