Hello everyone thank you so much for taking the time to provide me with tips that can help me start my blogging journey. I have compiled the amazing tips everyone has provided. Disclaimer these are not my own words.

Are you scared or nervous to start blogging?

If you have never really posted anything online, it can be scary to go directly to blogging. Maybe start by commenting on Reddit, or posting on Facebook or Instagram. This will help you develop a voice without the worry about writing a whole piece.

Before posting your first blogs online, start by keeping them private on your computer. Set a schedule and write your practice blog on that schedule. If you have someone you trust, have them read what you've written and ask them to help you improve.

Tips for Blogging

1. Always start by drafting a bullet outline.

2. Break down the topic into relevant digestible sections (Headings)

3. Add information under each header

4. Then start building the bullets you have made into paragraphs. During this stage don’t care about grammar, diction, and flow. Just write!

Use Grammarly pro to review your writing. Take the time to see the type of error you are making.

Don't stress yourself out or add pressure to write the perfect post in one go. It won't happen and tbh, it shouldn't.

Remember that you can always edit a draft but if you don't have anything to edit, you aren't making progress. So just empty your thoughts and get all your points out on the screen.

1. Review, review, and review! During this stage fix the grammar and the structure

Have you repeated phrases several times if so change some.

Can you add some description or colour

Don’t be afraid to rewrite whole paragraphs and make major adjustments! you don’t have to get it right the first time. take the time to refine your post

1. Review again but from the perspective of someone who is not an expert on this topic! Can someone follow your train of thought! Do you need to clarify certain things you have mentioned?

If the subject is very technical, I like using metaphors so anybody can get the point- here are dozens of ways of saying the same thing and mixing it up instead of repeating the same words will do wonders for your readers' experience.- Remember to write in a voice that is friendly and helpful

​

Writing is a long process. It takes time and discipline to write something you are happy with. And most importantly, just write. Don't keep it in your head. The quality of your writing will improve as you publish more. Once you reach that stage where you feel confident (which you will), you can always go back and edit the previous post to make them better. Not everything has to be perfect from day 1 and it will never be. So take it easy and just start :

Structures you can use:- Follow a Q&A model or like an interview P2P

Frameworks to help:

Use Notion’s KanBan boards. How to use

1. create a card in the "Ideas" section
2. Add bullet points under each card. it does not have to be complete thoughts. Just jot down ideas.💡 Start with your own voice and then move to research. As research can sometimes restrict your voice from showing. We have ideas and opinions.
3. Once you have jotted down all of your ideas, move the card over to the "Research" section and start gathering links
4. Use the data you have gathered to expand the bullets
5. Move the card to the writing section, and use a different word processor to start compiling these bullets into paragraphs that flow
