Blog for a living

Ok, it’s just an estimate, but 30% is the minimum of what you’ll get from these articles.

When I decided to start blogging, I knew what’s the area where I have to put the most effort and hard work to improve. And it was writing. Since I’m not a native speaker, I thought I’m far behind everyone else who speaks this language as his mother language.

Then I found a few blogs where people made such grammatical and spelling mistakes that even I’d be kicked out of fourth grade for that

But it’s not an excuse for me to not learn English and improve my skills constantly. So I’ve compiled here a list of 10 articles written by various authors from Dailywritingtips.com. This was the first site I came across when I wanted to learn how to write like the pros, and I still consider it the main source of my learning material.

These 10 little lessons are chosen by me. I suggest you to gradually build the techniques and methods they describe into your daily routine, but don’t you dare to stop then! There are plenty of other interesting and important stuff on their site to grasp, more than enough for you to learn.

And since I also neglected this very important part of blogging, I’ll do these lessons with you simulteanously, adding a lesson and using practising it every 3 days, so I can implement all the ideas in a month. You can progress in a rate you feel comfortable with, of course.

Here are the 10 lessons:

1. Write First, Edit Later
   The basics.
2. Write Super-Fast
   No, it’s not about speed-writing. It’s a complementary post to the previous one.
3. 8 Proofreading Tips And Techniques
   The second step. Proofreading your blog posts after typing them up is an essential part of the writing process. We all do it at some level, but this post shows you how to do it more effectively.
4. Four Tips For Successful Web Writing
   This one is just for us. Follow these rules, and you’ll have better qualty content.
5. Five Words You Can Cut
   I’ll have a hard time with this one, cause I use three of them very often. But I’m ready to make this sacrifice
6. Eliminating Superfluous Phrases
   We have been taught by teachers for years how useful and commonly used these sentences are.
   Thanks very much conventional education!
7. Write To Be Scanned
   This is one of the most important lessons. The most successful bloggers all write in this manner.
8. Why We Need Paragraphs
   It’s still related to the 6. You’ll write much clear, perspicuous articles.
9. The Dummy Subject
   Another common mistake you should be aware of.
10. How To Write Every Day (and why you should
    Maybe we should’ve started with this one, but it’ll help you to keep this good habit going.

That’s it, my little collection form Dailywritingtips. Note that these posts were chosen from the Writing Basics section only, but you can find more advanced and more specialized topics on their blog, as you’ll see.
It’s definitely worth a look.

Writing is a skill that’s strongly disregarded by beginner bloggers. Yes, you heard it: beginners! Because all the professional bloggers know that this is one of the most essential skills you have when it comes to blogging. Treat it that way!
