that is suitable to them. Choosing a good name is vital as it will help in reeling in more readers. A good
name will also be the automatic selling point of the content posted on the blog. If it is a food blog then
try and relate it directly to exactly what you want to write. An example is the fruity treats for a food blog
that deals with sweets or pastries one can make at home. Getting a wrong name will confuse your
audience and even sometimes making it hard for one to relate to it. Make the name easy in
pronunciation and explaining. This will make it easier for the audience to spread the word to their
friends and family. One should also get a domain name. The Domain name ensures one’s brand is unique
and no one can use it. The domain name is use to identify one’s brand to a particular network domain.

and effective running of the blog.

entertainment, comedy based blogs, food blogs and sports based blogs just to name but a few. Different
people have the different things they love reading about.
For food blogs ensure that you specify them in such a way that you do not find yourself losing your
audience. This is because some readers might prefer pastries as part of their undertakings. Some may
prefer salads as part of their favorites. If you have to do a food blog that is all inclusive, one has to
ensure there are specific themes of week guidelines on what one is posting. This should be done prior to
posting to ensure the readers anticipate for their favorite reads.
Start finding readers
It is important for one to get a great readership. How does one get readership for a newly started blog?

readers will be, what their needs are, what should their feelings be once their read your blog and what
are the long term benefits of your readers from the blog. Once this is secured then one can go to the
field and gather a great number of readers.

make them feel as if they can reach you whenever they want clarification on a particular topic. Once the
readers are satisfied, one can be fully confident that the word of your blog will go out and more
readership will come in.
