Hey friend,
Are you a new blogger, a wanna-be blogger, or an old-timer, like me?
If you’ve been around the blogging block for a while, you may remember what it was like in the
early days of blogging – it was like the Wild West! You could write about anything, slap it online, and people would find it.
But as the internet evolved, so has blogging. And oh, my! How things have changed!
- In the 2000s, blogging was personal. Think online diaries and long-form ramblings. Keywords? No one worried about those.
- The 2010s
saw the rise of social media and search engine sophistication. Niches became important, and bloggers focused on SEO basics.
- Here in the 2020s, blogging is competitive. It's now about thought leadership, building authority, and content that’s truly valuable to your audience.
Even now, in 2024, blogging is changing again, thanks to AI.
Plus, your readers' attention spans are short. And there’s too much duplicate content out there. Video content is also gaining serious traction alongside your typical written blog posts.
The exciting thing? Every blogging shift creates new opportunities.
If your blog isn't cutting through the noise, a few strategic adjustments can make
all the difference.
And if you’re new to blogging and wondering if you should bother and how you should go about it, stay tuned.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll guide you through modern blogging essentials, from what to blog about, where to blog, and how to format and structure blog posts for maximum effect.
I'm looking forward to the journey with you!
Write on,
Renae :)
