What to Blog about?

Often many start-up bloggers face a common dilemma, “What to blog about?” Once they make up their mind they zero in on a subject (theme) which they think they have good knowledge about. The problem arises when they run out of ideas to write about their selected subject. The result: after 3 months they stop blogging.

They may have generated some hits on their blog initially; would have become a bit popular too. But then, when they stop updating their blog, the visitor count decreases. And once the web stats drip, they loose interest in blogging. What should be done then?

In order to keep posting, the first thing that you need to do is to relax. Don’t hurry on setting up a blog. Instead write a business plan or a rough draft about the theme of your blog. Planning is very important. You also need to analyze other blogs and learn from them. The next step is to shortlist a couple of themes for your blog. Before you finalize on any one theme, understand the pros and cons of your subject matter. Jot down the limitations. What next?

Sit down and write at least 25 articles or copies or posts for your blog. Chalk out a strategy to post them at regular intervals of time. By doing so, you’ll have ample posts in reserve. Then launch your blog.

One last thing: at any time, don’t switch over to a new theme all of a sudden.
