Hey, I'm porel and I'm so excited that you're here. One of the biggest mistakes I see people make about the first blog posts that they publish on their brand-new baby blog is simply the fact that they forget that the blog that they're writing is not actually about them it's about the readers.
so you feel like it kind of should be an introduction of yourself. And your past, your struggle. Because you are introducing yourself to the world right.
You may think that I should write about my past, what I had and now here I am. And you want to write the post perfectly as much as you can.
It is so tempting to kind of make it more about yourself right. Like Who I am what it is I'm going to write about and why it is I'm going to write about that but that's not the approach that you should take.
Note: but you can write about yourself a little bit but not your struggle to achieve this or that kind of tone.
And I have done the same mistake that I am telling you not to do that when I wrote my first blog post about the best way to earn money online.
Trust me nobody wants to hear that kind of thing except they know you and they are interested in you alright.
I think you should talk about want kind of content you want to provide your audience who will visit your blog. Like what your niche is, the specifics details.
And the most important thing is your mission and vision that you should mention in your blog post when you write your very first blog post.
so stay connected I've got some tips for you and at the end, I will share exactly what I think that first blog post should be.
HOW TO WRITE YOUR FIRST BLOG POST
So if you want to become a blogger then here are the few things you should mention in your first blog post. So sit down take a pen and a paper and start writing those very specific details down.....
»1. Who are you in Short?
Who are you in Short. Number one is who are you? You are going to enter into the blogging world. Nobody knows anything about you. So tell about yourself a little but not much. And tell about your expertise on a particular topic that you are going to write about.
»2. What you are going to blogging about?
So the very first thing that you should do is very clearly define what it is your blogging business is all about to yourself.
you need to define is what exactly you want to write. And what you are passionate about. What your very specific niche is.
So it's not enough to just write down that you are a food blogger. Suppose that's what you want to write about food recipes.
But you have to define in your mind or a paper that what kind of food recipe you want to write about. Because it's so important to clarify the niche in your mind first.
You have to write exactly what type of food you want to write about. And maybe what kind of audience you are targeting.
»3. Your targeted audience/who are you writing for
That's the second portion of writing, should be write down those details is who exactly is your target audience.
You should not be writing food recipes for everyone because it's just not specific enough.
It's not a bad choice but also it's not a great choice when it comes to building a blogging business.
So it's important to try to be a little more specific I write various articles on various niches but all are specific.
So when you start writing your first blog post tell your audience about your niche and what they will get in your blog.
And you know what that's a far more specific idea than I'm just a food blogger or I'm just a paleo blogger and I am a tech blogger whatever it is. You should be very specific.
the reason it's important to clearly define all these details. Because that clarification kind of dictates everything else that comes afterward it dictates how it is you decide to design your site.
It dictates what kind of content you create. What kind of videos you create with social media posts.
So it's a very important detail to have in mind and it's not important to define to everyone else out there what you are going to do with your blog.
But it is more important to define it to yourself first that way you're kind of in the right state of mind and you can move on from that point forward knowing you're going in the right direction.
»4. Encourage to do Comments and give Feedback
Your blog shouldn’t be a page of the diary. Tell or request your reader to give feedback about the post. Tell your readers that they are free to like or dislike your post.
Make sure to include a comments section, where your readers can do subscribe to your blog. Respond to everyone's comment even if the comments are negative.
Tell your blog readers that you welcome and appreciate their comments whatever they give – in the end, they are your audience.
The stronger your bonding with your readers, the stronger your blog will be one day.

»5. Clear mindset towards your blogging goals
The second thing you need to do is focus on your state of mind. So you have to make sure that you're in the right frame of mind.
And you are doing what you planned. So that when you go to write your content you know what kind of voice to use with it.
What I mean by that is it is not about you. your blogging business is not about the writer or the website owner or content providers.
That's no personal attack on you. So please let me explain before you think what it's my blog I can write about me anything I want. What's the problem.
It is really important that as you build a blogging business you're conscientious of the fact that you're building a blogging business for someone else not for yourself.
And in that sense, you should look at all of your content and ask yourself what kind of questions do they(your reader) have.
what kind of issues do they have what kind of solutions are they looking for as opposed to a different state of mind which would be what kind of experience do I have.
what do I have to write about what do I like writing about and things of that nature all of those questions are important and you should answer them for yourself.
but they're not important enough to put on the blog itself. You want to kind of change that perspective and say okay here's my experience and here's what I've gone through and here's how that can help you.
so you want to change that state of mind or change that kind of direction.
what's the word I'm looking for an approach to ensure that when you write that content you're thinking of their issues first as opposed to how it is it makes you feel
and what kind of details about yourself you'd like to include. Again it is important to have the answers to all those questions and
to you know personalize your brand by putting your stamp on it and including little details about yourself to humanize your brand and connect with your readers.
But when I sit down and think about what blog post should I be writing. what am I in the mood to write what experiences have I had
that I think other people would like to just hear about it's not that kind of gets into that gray area where your blog becomes a little more like a diary.
And it's not supposed to, it's supposed to be more like a blogging business that helps other people. And most of them don't like to read your personal life stories.
Either a person knows you personally, that they are interested in you. But if you want to build your brand then your share. But here we are talking about the blogging business.
So make sure that your state of mind is my blog is not about myself it is about how I can help others and what other people are looking for.
»6.write your blog category wise
The sixth thing you really should keep in mind at all times is that blogs are seldom read like a book.
And no one's going to read your blog posts in sequence order so they're not going to land on your site and say okay I've got to just find her very first blog post and then they stay over there and then they're like okay then what did this blog write next and then what's next.
Chances are that the large vast majority of the people that find your website are going to find a random blog post that you wrote two years after starting your blog.
And then suppose because they're interested in that particular category on your specific niche. Because they're searching for that particular things.
And they're going to say okay do they have any other blog posts that cover this particular question because that's what I'm looking for right.
Now, so they're gonna bounce left and right and here and there and all over in your blog posts just looking for the content that will help them right there.
And right now as opposed to saying okay let me make sure I read all of her blog posts so that rarely happens unless they are your number one fan like your mother.
So keeping those three points in mind. My recommendation to you is that when you write that first blog post makes sure that you think about your niche and then you think about the very first question somebody might have about that niche.
So you want to write a blog post that is sort of like step one into this specific niche.
So for example
If you were a fish-catching blogger and to be a specific knitting blogger. And to choose a good niche you wouldn't just say you're a fishing blogger. you would say I only write about how to catch fish that's a very good specific niche.
Okay well, now you have to ask yourself what's the very first question that somebody who might be interested in this would have personally in real life.
I know a little bit about fishing. I'm assuming that you don't use the same fishing wheels as other projects or maybe you use a very specific method of fishing.
Now you define your niche and you would say okay I should write a blog post covering that topic.
Step one that way once they realize that this blog is going to teach them a lot of stuff and have valuable information and that I'm a place that they should come back to continue to learn about this specific niche.
so that's my recommendation for you. that's what your first blog post should be about leave a comment down below and let me know if you have already written your first blog post.
If this is an exciting time for you and you are about to write that first blog post it's always so exciting because that's really when you take that plunge into the blogging world.
It's not about like oh now I have the perfect design and I'm a blogger. It's more like I just wrote my first blog post I'm an actual blogger now and that's exciting as always.
