• Try Experimenting: Your blog is relatively new, so try different writing styles & show your capabilities. Once you find a style which is comfortable for you & your readers love it, Stick to it! However, give first preference to your reader’s choice. Warning: Remember, this phase should last for a short time. If you keep experimenting, you might lose your own voice!

• Use Keywords: using keywords can attract search engine searches to your site. Of course, you might not get instant results, but using keywords will improve your blog visibility in future months.Warning: Don’t stuff your content just with keywords to attract readers; a good content is a balance of good quality information & few keywords.

• Make a Diversion: You have decided your niche subject & you are blogging well about it, but blogging about same subject everyday might become boring for you & your readers. Don’t get me wrong, niche blogging is great, but variety in blog posts keeps you & readers look forward to some thing new! Just for a day in a week, blog about something that is not at all related to your blog’s niche subject. Warning: Once or twice a week is ok, but creating a total diversion may divert your readers too, so stick to your niche subject.

• Finally, Relax: Blogging in first few weeks is difficult; there is pressure to achieve the best of your abilities & a tension to gain reader’s attention. Don’t worry whether people will like you or not, if your content is good, they will eventually like you. Just be yourself & you will be ok.
