Advice to Newbie Blogger 2018 special?
I am a newbie too.What advice do I have? Oh, plenty.
The human nature loves giving advice. In the online world, you learn everything because of this innate nature of human beings to spread knowledge(often unsolicited) and help others(or so we think).
But as Lord Krishna famously said
You can only help those who are ready to accept this help.Who are open to receiving help!
One thing I read somewhere(I have forgotten the source)
You are always one step before the person just behind you and one step behind the one just ahead!
Thats an interesting concept when you reflect.
Your life is a humongous interlinking chain.The chain is as strong s the weakest link.To grow stronger you just need to help the one who asks for your help.
While seeking help may be awkward, only the very blessed can help people.If you are able to help one person every day, know that you are collecting blessings in your kitty.It always comes back.
Now if it is one advice:
Go deep and narrow!
Be the real you.You may be popular or not ,but your content will be unique.In this world of content explosion, only the real, the authentic, makes-sense kind of stuff stick !you may be writing the best prose, you may the best writer this world has seen, nothing will make sense till your audience finds the real you .
Share your expertise in topics of your niche( but do not forget to connect with your audience at a molecular level.It is easier to go deep and narrow as a specialist than a generalist.That’s why pick the core categories of your blog carefully .they will be your cornerstone categories.My cornerstone blog content is all health-wellness related (that’s my specialty).But I also write about the topics which indirectly affect wellness.My mompreneurs blogging journey series is the third leg of my blog structure.
Now deep and narrow may not work for you.Maybe you are a generalist or a specialist-generalist?You do not want to be restrained by the confines of deep and narrow.Thats cool too!
But then my Advice needs to change.For the Newbie Generalist:
Be authentic!
The real you.Share your experience that will make your blog stand out.This is why I am writing a book about what worked for me in the last 3 years.You can check out the very beta version of two chapters I have shared here.
A lot of knowledge plus loads of passion and an infinite amount of hard work is needed to make your blog shine.
Believe me, your nature shines through your writing .
[bctt tweet=”Writing happens when your soul touches the paper (or the keyboard).” username=”misra_amrita”]
If you are faking it, that’s obvious.If you are not writing about things which makes sense to you, that peeks through the lines of your words through.
Writing is cathartic.It is because it needs your brain and soul to connect.Now the soul has a strange definition.Its a 6D concept and is clear only if you think deeply.All creative person need the doors and windows of their soul to be open.
If you have difficulty opening your heart, if its full of distrust bitterness, writing will help you heal, if you let it.But till then it will also reveal shades of it through your words.Until the time you keep your real words hidden your writing, will always be less than what it can be.
So writing may very well be the dance with the devil.Are you ready?

Anything written from the heart and true to ourselves goes a long way. In fact, I would say being genuine is my best quality – i never bought followers/readers on any platform (in contrast to many out there).
Yes staying true to ourselves and also creating something new with whatever we are passionate about can make us stand out
Oh wow that was an interesting take on blogging.. Thanks for sharing your tips.
You have said it so well. you need to be YOU, and your voice will resonate and connect with some people and that’s fine!
I am sure we all will learn from these useful tips. Thanks for guiding one and all.. 🙂
Being authentic is the key. People look forward to a blog when they find the authenticity and value in visiting that blog. Wonderful tips.
I am a newbie and those post really a motivation for me… I will surely follow your advice to make my blog successful.
I am sure you will do wonderfully well
Wow ! This sure is a great article that I spent so much time on. The video on youtube is also very helpful. Well, I think it might be tough for beginner. Infact, many of it even a person blogging for long time may need to correct after referring the date here 🙂
I agree writing is cathartic and it heals. These are some great advice for a new blogger. Experience teaches us a lot of things and it shows in your post.
You are the right one to give advise, your motivation alone is quite contagious. I remember when began writing for MMM, you always motivated me to write more and from heart. Thanks for being there always Doc.
Thanks, Dipika.
If you are a blogger or writer you need to be authentic and true to yourself. This will connect you with your readers forever.
Very true
Totally agree, write what we feel is blogging in true sense. It’s gives freedom of expression. Thanks for sharing your experience, definitely going to help us in long run
Wow this is super motivating and totally agree content is definitely king. If it is you then it’s unique if you are just following trends then it won’t work. Loved the quote about being one step ahead or behind all. The time. Which means one is continuously learning and moving ahead
Exactly.Thanks Sharvari
So important and true – the need for an original voice when surrounded by millions saying the same thing.
Exactly either you whisper in a microphone or stand out.Nothing else works.
Amrita, I wanted to comment on this article last night. Just to bring it to your notice, I was unable to see the “Post Comment” button in my mobile. Now I am at a desktop I am able to see the button and I am commenting. Your advise to newbie bloggers is very valid. But for people like me who are jacks of all trades and masters of none blogging on a niche topic is very difficult. Because you see I lack deep knowledge in any one topic. But I can generally write on everything. I guess it is difficult for blogs of that kind to be come popular.
Hi Sithraam thats why the corollary to the initial advice.Be authentic and anywhere anytime you will shine.Thank you for trying so hard.Will look into the comment loading issue.
Wow such great tips! And I agree in being unique and yourself. It’s kind of hard for me to not be me while I blog. The video will checked out soon 🙂
Thanks Zainab
