A decent dashboard


Before you do anything, think about the topic you want to build a site for and the most effective way for you to create content. Start
writing posts before you begin building the site and find the perfect app for you that allows you to focus on writing in an unhindered
space. Bear is an easy to use and efficient example.

Create to succeed


1


A clean interface
Bear offers a clean interface and a
selection of themes that allow you to create
a personalised space to work within. None
of the themes are overbearing.

2


A consistent setup
Click the ‘i’ to check the word count and
to export your work at any time. All of your
content can be automatically synchronised
between all of your Apple devices.

3


Keep it organised
Using hashtags you can keep your
notes and articles organised by topic for
referring back to later. It takes a lot of the
stress out of managing your blog posts.

A quick glance
Imagery is extremely
important for any online
presence because it can
make all of the difference
between someone glancing
at your site and leaving or
wanting to see more. Your
images should also be
consistent throughout.

Plan ahead
No matter what platform you
use to run your blog, you will
need a reliable CMS (Content
Management System) that
allows you to schedule posts
ahead of time. This will enable
you to ensure that there is a
steady flow of content.

Automated design
A crucial decision will be whether to design the
site yourself, pay a professional to do it or to rely
on an online platform to offer you themes and
automated design. If you want true uniqueness
avoid the automation.

Learn and grow
You will need to understand how much traction
your site is gaining over time. A decent platform
will give you granular statistics which you can
closely monitor to understand what works and
what does not. It takes time to grow.
