Blogging Lesson 6: Your Blog Post Ideas Won’t Be Totally Original
Something I often hear from new bloggers is that, “all the good ideas are taken.”
I felt just like that when I started blogging, too. And it’s true: very few, if any of your blog post ideas will be completely original.
But that’s a good thing. If your idea was so strange and new that no one had ever written anything like it before, then it’s unlikely to be something that will find an audience.
Even though your ideas might not be unique, your content itself will be. That’s because you bring your own unique perspective and thoughts to the topic—one of the best blogging lessons that’ll keep you engaged with your content creation process moving forward.
Your blog post could stand out from the crowd in all sorts of ways. Perhaps:
You’re great at explaining complex things in simple, step-by-step terms. You egypt phone number database cut through the jargon in your tutorials and get key concepts across to beginners.
You have lots of personal experiences and stories to draw on, bringing your posts to life and forming a stronger connection with your reader.
You’re a naturally encouraging and supportive person – and that shines through in your writing. You give your reader confidence that they really can achieve their goals.
Those are just a few ways in which your blog posts could be unique to you. Nobody else could have written them in quite the same way.
Blogging Lesson 7: You Won’t Get Blogging Perfect the First Time (or Ever)
When I started blogging, I worried about getting things wrong. I even worried I might somehow “break” my blog by clicking the wrong thing.
The good news is that (a) WordPress has gotten a lot more beginner-friendly since I started my blog and (b) even though I made lots of mistakes, they were all easy to recover from.
However hard you try, your first blog post won’t be perfect. And that’s a good thing. If you started at “perfect”, there’d be nothing left to learn and no room to grow.
Spending hours and hours perfecting anything – whether that’s your blog design, your outreach emails, your posts, or anything else – is a waste of time. Instead, simply create something good, put it out into the world, and look for things you can improve on next time.
