A simple, but in my opinion quite important tip for bloggers, I have today in the luggage. It’s about writing blog articles and an easy way to make this easier

Blogging – Is that hard?
To blog. Let’s take a look at the Wikipedia definition for “Blog”:
This or the blog / blɔg / or weblog /wɛb.lɔg/ (crossword from English Web and log for logbook) is a run on a website and thus usually publicly visible diary or journal in which at least one person, the blogger, also internationally known as Weblogger, keeps records, records facts (“posts”) or writes down thoughts.
Wikipedia
I think that defines the whole thing quite well.
In response to my new blog (this one), I am always being asked why I can write so well. Firstly: I think that I’m not so good, especially since I prove German only as a lousy basic course and without a school-leaving exam (was occupancy – unfortunately). Second, free writing is not that difficult. My mantra is: Practice makes perfect. And even who thinks “I can not talk so much, let alone write,” is mistaken.
About a year or two ago, when I recommended writing English-language articles on the Medium platform, which, by the way, I recommend to anyone who has no idea about servers and co., My articles were still in a rather broken language with dozens of spelling and grammar Peppered. Not that I would now write flawless texts, but they have in my opinion but both in terms of content and language improved – especially now I write mainly only German documents.
Even though that may be different now, I am not a black man in “reality”. I can not bear it when my classmates spend hours and hours talking contentless, which is ninety percent empty. I am a friend of short and precise utterances and do not content myself with senseless chatter.
But how do you learn blogging?
There are many different ways to blog. The spelling and content of a tech blog are very different from that of a beauty and lifestyle blog. It always depends on the context, how to write and what kind of linguistic style you use for it.
So, to put it in a nutshell, blogging cannot be learned that blanket! The only thing you can learn is a bigger language and a better way of expressing yourself.
Earlier, when I had more time and was not so busy with the internet (little joke), I read a lot. No fantasy or science fiction novels, but realistic reality novels (doubly mixed). Today I read newspapers, magazines and countless online articles. If I had to guess, I would estimate at least 700 to 1000 articles a week.
As time passes, the vocabulary expands through constant reading (and also writing – as I do here on my blog) and the words gush out of you faster and faster. Where at the beginning my lack of linguistic creativity disturbed, today it is the stupid keyboard or my lack of ability in the finger writing.
But also the topic about which one writes plays a big role!
Compared to other articles (on my blog) this is rather long – there is much to tell about this topic. If you really want to write a post, do not look for a topic that you can not philosophize without researching for a long time. Of course, it is sometimes necessary to write about not so exciting things, but you can do that.
Rather, ideas are the problem. To write a qualitative and readable text, you need a perfect idea. Not a few bloggers, or even journalists, it is so that they start many designs and then all but one reject (or even). There are even extra programs where the previously written text is automatically deleted as soon as you have not added a word for a certain amount of time. That may sound weird, but unlike the reader who consumes comfortably, writing is sometimes a tough job. So you should also want to be active in the blog business, do not hesitate at the beginning due to lack of ideas. How about inspiring yourself on other blogs? (But do not copy-paste!)
