How to Blog...

Here are five top tips on 'How to Blog' I have taken this advice from top blogger Perez Hilton, who is a celebrity gossip blogger, I hope they help improve the quality of your blogging...

1. You don't have to be a scientist!

Blogging is very easy, it is just a case of choosing your software platform such as blogger.com or wordpress, creating an account and then start adding your blogs. It doesn't matter if your site isn't very flash - the content is more important.

2. Unique Selling Point

You need a gimmick if you want to get ahead. Some of Perez's favourites include; peopleofwalmart.com - pictures of people who go shopping at walmart. It's really funny and has got alot of attention. Another favourite of his is fatcatlover.blogspot.com

3. Be Efficient
Blog's could be witty, eloquent and more grammatically correct. However this needs to be balanced with trying to create as much content as possible, as quickly as possible. Whether you're blogging as a hobby or as a potential job, try to do it frequently. The more content you have the more traffic you will get.

4. Visual Aid
With pictures you need to know about what you can and can't use. Perez Hiton for example had hundreds of celeb photo's on his sight and as soon as he and his blog became famous, he got sued alot. He now knows that if he does use a celeb photo that he has to pay for it.

5. Be Sociable
Network with other bloggers; leave comments on blogs and respond to people who comment on yours. Combining Twitter and your blog is a great way to cross promote your content. Plus you can attact and follow individuals who may share your passions and start following your blog.
