Do you have what it takes to be a blogger? The team at RMIT Newintstudents explains what it takes to be a blogger in this four part series.
Blogging is like marketing where the dynamics is always changing from one week to the next. One week you will have a lot of sponsored post and the next you might not.
What sort of a blogger are you?
Are you an honest one or are you one that lies?
What do you like to talk about?
You can talk about whatever you like. Most people love to talk about food, but if food is not your thing you can talk about other things
What are the ground rules?
Try and post at least once a week if you can. Always check your spelling and grammar. For International students that are not so good at it, your English will get better and better as time goes on. We are not perfect.
Also try and comment on most people's blogs and hopefully they will do the same. Do reply to people's comments.
Voice
You need to have some sort of a voice as this will be used a lot when you write your content. For all students having a voice is important when you do your assignments. The tutors (or whoever's marking you) will want to see that you have an opinion. They will also want to see that you understand what is being taught. Doing a blog is a great way to get used to using your voice.
Blogging can be frantic as it is often changing. If you keep up you'll be great at it and it will become a natural thing for you. Be organised. You have to be organised in your studies, why not start a blog? I have no time is not an excuse not get blogging.
