CoSchedule<\/a> are incredibly useful for planning your release schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n4. Experiment with Different Types of Media<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In-depth blog posts and editorials are all well and good, but gaming is a visual and interactive medium. As such, it’s worth experimenting with video content. If you don’t think you can create effective videos yourself, why not link to ones<\/p>\n\n\n\n
hosted on third-party sites? Just make sure you’re crediting the source. Once you’re attracting a significant number of readers and generating a big enough income, you can think about outsourcing video creation to freelancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Invest in Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Want to review games? Thinking about posting video game walkthroughs on your blog? You’ll need to ensure you have all the technology and software you’ll need to create content regularly. If you’re a PC gamer, a second-rate setup isn’t going to cut it. If you want to post about console releases, an Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 are the bare minimum you’ll need to remain competitive in the blogosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Engage and Interact with Blog Readers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To create captivating content, you need to understand your audience. One of the easiest ways to get to know your readers is to engage with them directly. When writing a blog post, include a call to action to encourage readers to leave comments and feedback. Alternatively, think about creating a newsletter for subscribers. This way, you’ll have a readymade mailing list that can be used to connect directly with your audience. Ask your readers what’s working for them and what kind of content they’d like to see in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Promotion is Pivotal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There’s no point investing time and effort in a blog if nobody’s reading it. Thankfully, promoting a blog is fairly straightforward. Around 77% of bloggers use social media to spotlight their blogs. Twitter is the preferred method for most bloggers. Use your Twitter stream to promote newly-published posts or connect with other bloggers. This way, you’ll be able to capitalize on established audiences who might be interested in your own content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
