Do you live for celebrity gossip? Are you the first to know what styles just left the nearest runway? If you are looking to take your hobby to the next level, here are 6 tips for starting your own entertainment blog…
Be professional.
If you are looking to blog for someone other than yourself, please be professional. You can ensure this by taking time to look at submission guidelines before you submit. You are never the exception to the rule unless you already have a good working relationship with a publisher. The quickest way to be ignored… is to ignore a publisher’s guidelines.
Use good quality images.
If you are a blogging for yourself, you’ll need to find your own images. The celebrity photo archive can help you find what you are looking for. Click bait may be cliche… but click bait works. So check that celebrity photo archive. You might find something Google didn’t show you.
Hone your craft.
There is always room to improve your work. Be sure to spell-check and consider a grammar proofing app to help you never miss a blunder. Everyone has a typo now and then but if you can prevent it – do. You want to remain professional even if your blog is very conversational. Good writing and grammar creates trust with your reader.
Write with your own angle.
You and every other journalist in the world is probably telling the same story. That means it is your job to tell the story differently. If you can hit a story from an angle that is both different and unique for you… you will draw a bigger audience.
Stay on brand.
You may not be a big deal right now… but if you want to be, brand yourself and stick with it. Make sure your socials all convey a similar tone and message.
Don’t give up. Every writer. goes through rejection
It takes a while, often times years, to really grow a client base or to create a brand that grows. Stick to it… you’ll find your audience.
As you begin your journey to create an entertainment blog that captivates the audience that you hope to find, remember… Rome wasn’t built in a day. And a blog can’t be built in a day either. However, everyone has to start somewhere and the best starting point is always going to be square one.
