So, as a tech blogger, a travel blogger, and a nature blogger, you've come to understand that I cover a wide range of subjects and topics on my blog. You've also come to notice that I don't place a great amount of priority on any of those, I just say what comes to me as if i'm a natural writer. So when I pick the topics i'm going to discuss, this is the process I usually go through.
- I decided if what i'm going to write about is relevant to my blog
- I ask myself, "will others want to read what i'm saying?"
- I start doing research into the topic (if it's not something i'm an expert in already)
- I check the competition to see how many other people have written about said topic
- I do a rough draft of my ideas brainstormed on either a power point or word document (never pdf)
- I then write the post, read it, edit it, and publish it
Besides those things, I always wonder if I should include a graph, a chart, images, videos, or further visual items to help the reader understand the concept that i'm trying to explain. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. The way the internet and web 2.0 or as you might even say 3.0 and 4.0 etc. is now, it makes it easier to edit the content directly on my blog.
Some of the best posts or articles i've written about became popular after the fact that I thought they would be some of my least read. As if that isn't enough, I NEVER know which post will garner the most amount of readers. It's a game of chance that's played out in real time.
For me though, my passions are anything outdoors and travel. I love to visit new rivers, lakes, forests, mountains, and anything that is beautiful and peaceful. I either travel alone, or sometimes with friends, no matter how I travel though, one thing is for sure, I come online and I share my experience with my loyal readers.
Sometimes I write about mundane things, like being stuck in traffic on my commute to work, sometimes I write about fascinating new things, like backpacking across the Swiss Alps which have the most gorgeous sunsets you will see anywhere. But if you do decide to go, make sure you bundle up and bring the appropriate gear with you. You will need sturdy shoes that can dig into the snow and allow you to keep your balance. You will need a tent to sleep in (if you're staying over night) but most importantly, you will need a map and a plan to make it back home safely without being stranded over night.
