Do You Need Typing Lessons?

Posted on by

On the Internet there are many free typing games that are supposed to improve your typing speed. I believe that there are also other efficient methods to increase typing speed. If somebody wants to increase his typing speed then I suggest that he becomes a blogger. He will see the results in no time, and in the meantime, he might get even addicted to blogging. There are many bloggers who never took any typing lessons in their life, but who can type very fast. I believe that the more posts you write, the faster your typing speed will be. While starting a blog from scratch might sound scary, it is worth it in the end.

Building a Community

Building a community should be one of the most important goals of a blogger. As a blogger, you want to spread your views on various topics and give advice to people; however, to achieve this you need to have many readers. You need to create a blog that will encourage people to join your community. This can be accomplished by writing posts that have some of the following characteristics:

  • Ask questions in your posts. This is in my opinion the best way to encourage your readers to contribute something to your website. People like to be engaged in a discussion and they like it when someone wants to listen to their opinion.
  • Give advice to your visitors. Visitors like this, especially if it is useful advice. That is why most of the top articles on Digg or similar websites give some useful advice.
  • Provide your opinion on something that your readers can add something to. Allow them to express themselves. Make them feel like you actually want to listen to them.
  • Taking questions from readers and answering them in your post is a good idea as well. Is there anything that you were asked in comments, but did not ever respond for some reason?

    • Vote For the Most Popular Blogs

    There is an interesting website I came across, specifically BloggersChoiceAwards. It is a website that allows users to vote on blogs in different categories such as Best Celebrity Blogger, Best Religion Blog, and Best Blog Design. There are many other categories as well, I believe a few dozen in total. I think that with so many categories it should be easy to find blogs which you would have interest in. If you want to be famous, or if you are looking for a challenge, then you can submit your own blog and hope that your blog will be nominated with the most votes possible.

    On the other hand, if you are looking to contribute in a different way, you are free to leave comments. In the future, I expect to see more and more websites that give some sort of awards. I noticed that when a website of this type launches, it very often wants to receive valuable backlinks. I do not have anything against it, but many of the websites which give some sort of rewards do it in order to receive backlinks. If you do not mind to put the reward on the homepage of your blog, it is alright.
