5 Lessons I Have Learned About Blogging

August 25, 2014 by Paul Salmon

When I started blogging in June 2007 I really didn’t know how to manage a blog or even how long I can keep writing blog entries. Like many people, I tend to start something that interests me at the time, but then get bored and move onto something else. With that thinking, I started using Blogger since it required no financial commitment, just time. After a year, I discovered that I did like to manage a blog, so I switched to a self-hosted WordPress blog, and haven’t looked back.

Over the past seven years of managing this blog I have learned many lessons, and have experienced many facets of not only blogging but websites, in general. I have made mistakes, and learned from those mistakes, but have also enjoyed a few successes. I have blogged about both the mistakes I have made and the successes I have achieved, so now I feel I should give an update on the lessons I have learned about blogging.

SEO Be Damned. Why Your Blog is About You.

October 8, 2013 by Paul Salmon

After I decided to change the direction of Technically Easy, I have been thinking more about what content I would like to publish on Technically Easy. Of course, as I started to think about the content, other questions started to pop in my head. How often should I publish posts? What long should each post be? What type of posts should I write? How many guest posts should I accept?

The odd thing is that I started Technically Easy over six years ago, and many of the questions I asked myself were the same ones I asked myself when I first started. It seems that since I reset the direction of Technically Easy back to the way it was a few years ago, I also reset my thoughts on my blog. After six years of blogging, I have come to one conclusion with regards to my blog, and perhaps blogging in general: do whatever I want.

Rethinking the Direction of Technically Easy

October 1, 2013 by Paul Salmon

Over two years. That is how long I have been accepting guest posts on Technically Easy. Unfortunately, during that time I feel that the quality of my blog has suffered. Technically Easy has been online for over six years, and it started as a way for me to write my experiences, and answer technology issues, in a way that would be easy for others to find, read, and understand issues that they may be having, as well.

When it Comes to Blogging Content is King

August 9, 2013April 23, 2013 by Guest Blogger

This is one of the most important things you can learn as a blogger. Content is by and large the most important thing when it comes to increasing traffic, generating more money or simply keeping your readers coming back.

Far too often bloggers put way too much attention into keywords, advertising, user interaction, social media and any of a number of ways to generate traffic. These are all effective and important strategies, but they all have one thing in common. If your content is awful, people are going to be leaving your site pretty quickly.

May 28, 2013February 7, 2013 by Guest Blogger

People talk about blogging like it’s this magical thing that can make you rich without you spending any money. What they don’t tell you is that even though it’s theoretically possible to become a millionaire blogging superstar it’s certainly not going to be easy. You need money to grow faster and if you don’t then people in your niche are going to overtake you at thunderous speed. When someone is pumping thousands into banner ads and PPC campaigns they will obviously reach your potential readers quicker than you.

That is why having your personal finances in order before you begin is really important, but if you are already started it’s crucial you begin now. You don’t want to be given a fantastic opportunity only to decline it because your bank balance is sitting at zero. It’s probably a good idea to look into ways you can save money and be financially secure because you’ll have a much better chance of success. Follow these tips and good things will eventually start to happen.
