This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.

Nowadays, SEO services are being accepted by more and more people. From being unfamiliar with SEO to using this new technology to optimize their sites, people began wondering how to use SEO services better. I have studied SEO for just a few months, but I am still willing to share my opinion about four important factors affecting the optimization effect of SEO.
First and foremost, the content of your website should be updated continuously. If your website is updated, it will make search engine spider form a good habit to search your website timely. In that case, your other efforts to optimize your website ranking will not be in vain. However, some people either do not update his website for a long time or update a lot of contents at a time. This also doesn't work. The best way is to update regularly.
Second, you should select the space or server of fast speed and good stability when you want to buy them. Imagine that no matter how many times you click on a site, it cannot be opened, then will you come back to visit this website again? Absolutely not! It is the same that if the search engine spiders cannot catch the content of your website for a few times, it will consider your website as the spam. Therefore you should guarantee your website's access speed and space stability.
Third, the content of your website and advertorial should be mostly original. More and more major search engines prefer to original contents, so high-qualified content can enhance the site's PR and keywords ranking. It is known that no matter how many pseudo-original articles are posted, its effect is not good as one high-quality advertorial.
Last, remember there are some websites providing SEO services in the world. If you have no confidence in your SEO skills or you want to enjoy professional SEO services, you can choose to find some websites offering SEO services. All of these websites have professional SEO experts which can help you increase your site's ranking. Of course, it is possible to optimize your websites by your own, but if you want your site to be optimized faster, finding some SEO services is still necessary.
