5 surefire ways to fast track your blogging skills. Guaranteed!
I have said
this time without number that blogging is a skill that involves the art of
content creation but not an innate ability, therefore it can always be learnt
and almost perfected in any stage of one’s life.
I have seen
70year old blogging and if a 70years old man can still blog then what about
you?
One thing I
will like you to know here is that there are no limits to the amount of skills
that you can acquire as a blogger. Just as everyday of your life present you
with entirely different and new learning curve, there is always room for new
skills and improvement in blogging.
Again, one
major head-on you can get in your everyday blogging or in your quest in
acquiring more skills in blogging is by fast-tracking your learning or skills
developmental process.

You will
agree with me that it is by far better for you to start blogging today and
within the next 6 months of blogging, for your blog to be touching the sky than
for it to take a year before getting close to the sky.
In that
vein, we bring you the 5 surefire ways you can fast-track your skills and take
your blog to the sky in no time.
1.
Learning from the right mentor and
sources – it is a
pity today that the blogosphere is getting saturated with the rate at which
blogs are being proliferated on daily basis. This on its own has presented a
kind of problem. It is even getting more difficult by the day to know the right
sources or the right mentor to follow in acquiring the proper blogging skills.
Every Tom, Dick and Harry
today has something to present when it now comes to blogging, whether they are
genuine or scraped and stolen copyrighted contents, all will be presented to
your face at the click of a button.

This whole thing is
making identifying and choosing the right mentor to seem as a mirage. For sure
if you can lay your hand to the right mentor in blogging or right sources
immediately, it will save you huge amount of useful time and energy than
picking the wrong mentor that will end up delaying your skills acquisition
process and progress.
So it is very important,
you exercise whole lots of wits in choosing your blogging mentor and also in
learning from the right sources to avoid all those delays.
“Don’t just be ubiquitous for nothing, try and be
ubiquitous for tangible knowledge”
2.
Practice makes perfect – For your blogging skills to
skyrocket in no time in the blogosphere, you have to practice and practice and
practice again and again. All those little little skills you are acquiring or
gaining from others, you have to make them work for you by putting them into
full practice.
You don’t just continue
learning and learning without practicing out, but you have to try out things
and implement them even on your own to see how well they will work out.

By constant practice, you end up
perfecting the art of blogging and the art becomes in you as if it was innate
ability. By so doing, even codding becomes as easy as ABC and what it is
tantamount to is that you now work at fast pace when you have gotten mastery of
the blogging skills you have been practicing.
3.
Consistency and persistency will
surely take you to promise land- the truth is that in blogging skills developmental stage,
it gets better with time. If you are the type that blogs today and blog no more
tomorrow, then the big question is how
do you now intend to fast track your blogging skills?
One of the sure things that will fast
track your blogging skills is on how consistence and persistence you are in the
field.
4.
Google is your friend – Did I see you forget that Google
is your friend? Yes, Google is truly your friend when it comes to helping you
fast track your skills in blogging.
To me, one of the
greatest innovations, if not the greatest in our time is the Internet Technology. And today, you can
hardly mention the internet without mentioning Google.
What is that that you are
looking for to help you in fast tracking your blogging skills, and that your
physical blogger friend or mentor cannot provide answer to? Do you know that
Google is even a more powerful mentor? Why not just ask Google and see for
yourself if the answers you were looking for will not just come out from the
thin air.
“Yes,
I fully concur, Google is also my good friend”
5.
Setting up target for yourself – Many bloggers are guilty of this.
If you doubt, turn around and ask some of your blogger friend, what they want
to achieve with their blogs and in what time they planned achieving that. It
will amaze you that some have not even set up any target for themselves.
This does not only apply
to blogging but also in other real life situations. It is always a good habit
and good practice to set up targets in whatever you are doing that you intend
to achieve something tangible out of it.
You can also read: Long blog posts or short blog posts,which is recommended?
In the blogosphere, if
you set up reasonable targets and the time you want to achieve them, it will
help you a great deal in working towards fast tracking and achieving those
skills.
In conclusion, I affirm
the earlier saying that blogging is an art that can be acquired and by
following the 5 ways of fast tracking your blogging skills enumerated above,
the sky will no longer be your limit but a starting point.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteBlogging is indeed growing on a very high pace. Many people are blogging these days, many are just doing it like a therapy, I started one for that. But, many others are here to reach the sky.
One can't succeed with the right information from mentor as there are many fake gurus out there. One needs to identify them and choose the right one.
Learning is the biggest ROIC on blogging, one can grow as a person and keep their souls at peace by blogging. Nice article buddy, I found this on Kingged.

Hi Edwin,
ReplyDeleteIn as much you have shared some really great tips with respect to how one could fastrack his blogging skills, the point with respect to Google being a friend isn't something I do agree with you.
Google can't be rely upon as you don't know when they will be releasing those animals in the form of alogarithms.
Another bird was released today and that has of course cost many blog's fortune.

Hey, pretty good blog post. Learning from mentors is really one of the good ones to do because hopefully, you can learn from their mistakes and not make the same mistakes that they made. Many people don't bother looking for a mentor and think they can figure it out on their own - unfortunately that only leads them to to being unsuccessful and maybe even closing down their blogs.
ReplyDelete@Edwin
ReplyDelete4 months into blogging, I was sweating without success. Perhaps I would have quit had I not read your valuable post. My traffic is not going up as of now. But I'm hopeful it will. Your blog was a discovery and I'm going to stick to it hereafter.
Thanks
