WORDPRESS TIPSFOR BEGINNERS

@DONIW

Use many tags in your blog posts

# T A G S

When you tag, it becomes more visible to otherusers in wordpress - it is likely that there arepeople who follow certain tags hence your postmay pop up in their feed

Hence more tags = more visibility

Make sure the things you write about are true,relevant and appropriate

C O N T E N T

The content you write about should be concise,waffling can annoy people

Try to diversify your content - don't write thesame things, mix it up

It may not work for everyone but for me, when Ifollow back a follower I get follower loyalty henceit is important to create a good friendlyrelationship with your follower because a loyalfollower can do many loyal things to you

F O L L O W E R S

Before you follow someone, check out their blog,give them some likes and comments, people lovethat - be true to what you are doing though

In your blog post, choose a cover photo carefully.See what it looks on a follower's feed, will they beable to see the photo, the words? My advice is tocentre the words in the middle of the photo sothat people can see the words well

L A Y O U T

Make sure your blog post and overall yourblog is nicely laid out, not too big or small -easier to read and see

Be polite - do not post insulting, discriminative,inappropriate content - not only is it not morallyupright but people can report you and alsopeople may be negatively affected by your post

G E N E R A L

Don't use swear words, it will draw awaypeople - use polite phrasing

Include links to the images/content you haveused from a different website/blog

Be aware of copyright and privacy issues - youdo not want to attend a lawsuit!
