What Should I Write About?

Now that you have finally set up a "blog", you need to consider what to write about? Should you write short stories? Should you write about how to do things? Should you write about a variety of subjects or stick to one subject? Should you write about whatever pops into your head?

The first thing we need to do is to establish the purpose of a blog. A blog is short for weblog and is basically sort of like an online diary. People keep diaries for a variety of reasons. Most of the time people write their thoughts and ideas down in an effort to work through challenges in life or as an outlet for their feelings. We have to take into consideration the fact that a blog is online for all the world to see.

Ultimately, a blog is an outlet for you to share whatever you want. Write about what you know. Write about your passions. Provide tips, experiences, ideas, thoughts, and any other information you feel will be helpful for others. Remember that this will be online, and people are interested in learning something about the subject they are searching for.

Are you a seamstress? Do you adhere to a specific diet because of allergies or because of how it makes you feel? Are you a fisherman or hunter? Are you a classic car enthusiast? Do you enjoy baking? Do you live a natural/healthy lifestyle including adhering to naturopathic medicine? Are you a music enthusiast? Do/are you ______________? Fill in the blank. If you can dream it, if you have a passion for it, if you have knowledge to be shared, if you have an interest in it, you can share it on your blog.

The most important thing to remember is that your blog is an extension of you. Remember to share clear, concise information and stick to one subject per blog. Here on Blogger, you can add a new blog by clicking the "New Blog" button on your dashboard. If you use a different blogging site, investigate how to add different blogs. Whatever you decide to write about, have fun!

Happy Blogging!
