Managing Your Own Blog In College
Do you have a passion for writing? Have you always wanted to have your own blog while in college? Yes you can blog while in college. You just have to learn how to balance your life. This is how to blog in college:
1. Use your life to write your blog
Start by writing things down. If you come across a topic in your mind that seems like a good topic, start thinking of how you could use it or spin it and post it on your blog. Make sure to carry a notepad with you so that you can note down any observations you might come across. Remember that most of the best blog topics are usually personal.
2. Join a blogger network
Blogging networks are amazing. The friends you make in your blogging network can be helpful. This way you get some encouragement and ideas on how to expand and make your blog better.
3. Take advantage of weekends
You should always use your weekends wisely. Even if you have not figured, out what exactly you want to write you can start by writing an introduction. However, if weekends are not suitable for you take advantage of any other time. Do you have a free hour between classes? Think and write down some potential topics when having lunch. A note on a scarp piece of paper might turn into your most popular blog when written out.
4. Manage your social media
You can blog every single day but fail to achieve anything if you do not promote it. Label all your posts with hashtags on whatever platform you use then promote your content. Use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and LinkedIn every day for each post. You have to promote your content until you can build up that audience that will always come back and even more to reach new audiences.
5. Patience is key
Blogging is insane. Your blog will not be successful overnight and some even take years to get some traction. Do not worry if you are not getting positive results right away. Be persistent; promote your content every day, and maintain a positive attitude. Remember that this is your space and someone else will appreciate your insight on things.
Success will not come easy but once it gets there you will know it and it will be great.
