101 blog tips I’ve learned (Part 1)

It’s been six months now since I first put this blog live online. BusinessAccent is not my first blog. I was blogging a page-ranked four Philosophy blog back when I was a new passer as an accountant and was searching for my first employment job. I lost that blog because I just don’t have extra money to renew my blog’s domain and pay my web hosting – plus I was already very busy with my first employer during that time. After a year, I started blogging again – with this blog as my comeback blog. For six months of running this blog, I already learned a lot from my own experiences and from the other great bloggers out there. Some of the following blog tips are lessons that I still need to apply since I don’t have enough time to blog (I’m still a full time public accounting practitioner).

I have broken the following 101 blog tips into two parts. I believe that… a gradual intake of words will result into a better digestion of knowledge. Enjoy the first part of the list!
