How to Blog: Part III

In this post you will learn about how to stay original and consistent, as well as more about content. This will be the last post in this series, but if you have any questions comment down below. I might write more posts about blogging, like the challenges that you can run into and how to get around them, but I don't think I'll make another how-to blog post, unless if a lot of people have questions, or just want another one. 

Staying Original
Staying original is an important part of blogging. There are a lot of fashion blogs out there, as well as youtube channels, so there's a lot of competition. And not just fashion blogs have competition, all blogs have competition. Even though there are a lot of fashion blogs, not all of them are good. Staying original means writing about what you believe, not what a lot of other people believe. 

Content
In part 2, we covered a little bit of content, but mostly just few ideas for posts to get you started. When you start out as a blogger, chances are you're not a great writer. Instead, you're just diving in to writing. If you write everyday, you will get better. You don't have to write blog posts everyday, it could be that you are writing in a diary daily, but it will still help you become a better writer. 

Blog posts come in all sizes. Some of the best posts are just a few sentences, or really long. My advice is to write a quick, short post, getting down all your ideas first, Then go back through and add more information. Do this until you feel that the post has all the information necessary for the reader to understand. While you are going back through, keep an eye out for any typos or grammatical errors. 

Think about your readers. Preview your post before you publish it to see how long it is, and how it fits your blog Don't just make your posts all one big long paragraph. If someone is reading it on a phone, then small font and long paragraphs can be difficult to read. Make sure you give all the information necessary on the subject. If there's too much information to fit in one post, separate it into two parts. 

Ask someone to preview the post, or just do it yourself. By asking someone to preview the post for you, they're checking for grammatical errors, misspelling, and typos. They are also checking to see if you left any information out, or if you didn't explain something very well. This saves you the embarrassment of a reader pointing it out, or worse, it going unnoticed by you. 

That's all for this post. Am I leaving something out or not giving enough information? Please, let me know so I can improve this post.
