General Writing or Finding Your Niche?
As a writer, I got to say that writing does take some skills to be good at. I am sure many writers started writing as a general writer but as time passes by, I strongly believe that we have find our writer’s voice inside us; finding the right niche that suits us best.
General writing is much easier as we can write anything under the sun. There is no limit on topics and it is really much easier to write. The simple fact is because you can write anything and everything regardless of the situation. The best thing I liked about it is I can basically write anything according to my mood!
Writing a specific topic or niche is a more challenging task. I liked the fact about niche writing is because it is much easier to get your readers to follow you. At the same time, you can generate more loyal readers (since most of them only interested in certain topics) throughout your writing journey.
There are also negative sides for both general and niche writing. As for general writing, it is much harder to get constant and loyal readers. Since readers only find and read what they like or have in mind, it is impossible to cover every topic in the world. General writing is more to writing without a sense of direction. You have typically no focus and you just write what you feel and like. At the same time, if you are maintaining your own blog, general writing is less likely to generate more traffic due to the fact that there are many tags in your articles. Search engines normally pick up the most repetitive keywords and tags in the article and that are where you get your rank.
Niche writing has its negative sides too. When you write specific articles or blogs, you will face the challenge of attracting readers. Since everyone has their own liking, it is hard to gain the attention of others. Writing niche is also much more specific and you got to have a strong base in order to be successful in it. Even though research are important in both type of writing, expect to do more research in niche writing as you got to think of various ideas and the topic range is small.
As a writer, my personal advice will be start as a general writer and write as much topic as you liked. Then, as time passes by, look into your writing and determine what interest you most. Become a niche writer, in my opinion is way more challenging but rewarding at the end.

Why Must You Start Promoting Your Articles
Promoting is in fact a very valuable factor in a writer’s life as it plays an important role in creating a ‘platform’ for you in the face of the net. I am sure you are still in the dark about this but worry not as I will be explaining all about promoting, just for you!
Promoting a site or article is just like marketing your product. Alike in real life, when we are selling a product, we need to market them in the first place. Promoting in the writing industry is a little different from real life but the mechanics are still the same.
The first reason for promoting is you are bringing yourself to the surface of the industry. As a writer regardless if you are new or veteran writer, you are competing in a very…very competitive world of writing. Only the best will survive and in order to the best, you got to use every method possible to bring your good name and article up to the eyes of the readers.
Backlink is another term of promoting. For example, simply by putting a link of your other articles at the end of the page, readers might click on it and continue reading. With this, you are giving yourself a chance to further promote your article.
Another reason why you must start promoting and backlink your article as these actions will drive and increase your traffic effectively. You will need to time your promotion at the right time and using every moment to your advantage. It might sound tough but if a simple action can increase your readership, I am sure it is all worth it, don’t you think so?

Measuring The Success of An Article
How do you actually measure the successfulness of an article you wrote? Basically, there are debates going on especially on this subject. Some people believe there is no way to measure the successfulness of an article while there are others who believe there are ways for it.
For me, I always believe there is a way to measure it. I always make sure each of my articles has about 50 views per day. Any lower than that and I know it is not doing well. The measuring might vary depending on many factors such as popularity and even the topics you are writing.
Another way to measure the article is that if you get your article featured in xyz website, yes it is confirmed that you are writing something really good. Getting featured not only boosts your traffic to the article you write but it will increase your ‘visibility’ to the rest of the readers. You will gain ‘a moment of frame’ and you will get big numbers of traffic into the rest of your articles.
If you are getting many followers, then that is also a sign of being successful in writing. Readers who like your reading will tend to follow you and once you create a fan club, you are indirectly creating a loyal readership for your articles. However, do not be tempted by the number as some people would ‘just follow to get followed back’.
Lastly, ensure that you enable the comment for your articles. Good comments are always welcome and it gives you room for improvements. Comments will tell you how well your article is doing and if there is anything else you can do with. Besides that, it will also tell you what your readers are expecting from you.
