Tips For Starting Your Own Running Blog
Five top tips for anyone thinking of starting their own running or training blog.
So Why Did I Decide to Start A Running Blog?!
Running a blog
was one thing
that I nevergenuinely
thought about until a handful of
months ago when I picked up a annoying
hip injury
. Relegated
to the house
with no way of participating
in my chosen sport of working
for a good 12 months
or so, I made the decision
that instead of
moping around and feeling sorry for myself I would take action and begin
my individualJoggingWeblog
. Not only was this a great
way for me to keep
myself amused
and occupied
, soon after
the initialcouple of
articles I noticed
that I actually
knew fairlya whole lot
about jogging
, and running a blog
was a perfect
way for me to pass on my know-how
to others. Even though
I couldnt workout
or directly coach
other joggers
down at my local working
club, running a blog
allowed me to spread my message
out to many more runners
and meet lots of fascinatingindividuals
a the same
time.
Starting a RunningBlog
If you are thinking aboutbeginningyour ownrunning
, jogging or health and fitnesswebsite
then I would provide
you the following assistance
:
1.Make certainthat you areserious
about jogging
- This sounds like a straightforward
tip but making confidentthat you
are very
into your chosen soprt
will allow you tonot simply
get though
that troublesome
writers block
but will also help yousustain
your interest in running a blog
when items
aren't generally
going your way and say for instance
your website
isn't generating as many traffic
.as you expected
2.Get your detailscorrect
!- Should you
stick with yourblogging
for an extensivespan
of time then eventuallyyou are
going to be temptinglarge
numbers of viewers
to your blog
. This isnt a difficulty
if you are
just say writing about your training goals and achievements, but should youcommence
giving things
like health and injury guidance
out then you may possiblycome acrossoneselfgetting
into trouble if you
dont actually
know what you are
talking about! To steer clear of
the headache, make certain
you get your details
straight proper
from the word go.
3.Examine
other blogs- Once more
, this sounds like easyassistance
but reading and commenting on other running
or fitness
blogs in your subject
niche won't
only give you inspiration for your personalwebsite
posts but will also bring you a constant stream of site
visitors and boost your rankings in Google. This is vital
if you are
looking to attract individualsby way of
search engines which willnever
have seen or heard about your websiteprior to
.
4.Make it interesting
! - I've
lost count of all theboring
blogs that I'vevisited
out there on the world wide web. You can find
plenty of website
writers who truly
dont do themselves any favours and write submitright afteruninterestingarticle
that makes me desire to
go to sleep each and every
time I go through
it. Running
and health and fitness
has the added annoyance that as a subject
as a entireit'sreallyuninteresting
to anyone
outside the business
so make confident
you publishone thingfascinatingwhenever you
write. As an example
, on my joggingblog
I managed to win a competition where I met two Olympic athletes. This gave me no end of material to write intriguingwebsite
posts about and meant that people
kept coming back to my blog site
for a lot more
. Now I am not saying that youneed
to go on the market
and track some celebrities down, but put oneselfwithin theviewers
shoes when you arecomposing
your working
or conditioningblog site
posts and ask your selfin the event you
would honestly like tobrowse
what you'reposting
. If the answer is no then discard
it, take arestand beginonce more
!
5.Dont overpost
- Practically nothing
is worse than over blogging
. Not just
will it tire
you out but furthermore
it isnt fair on your followers
who will almostundoubtedly
have too much
to read
already thanks to their fast paced
modern lives! Publish
at most twice a week and trulyconsider
the issuesthat you
are writing about. Trust me, it will likely bemuch better
for everyoneif you
do!
So there you have it - My top ideas
for beginning
a health
or runningblog

with your own website
