Practice Makes Perfect When it Comes to Blogging

Good advice from Problogger

Your first 10,000 Blog Posts are Always the Worst

“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.”

Henri Cartier-Bresson - Photographer

I came across this great quote today and as a photography nut it rang true.

However I quickly realized that the quote could easily be applied to the medium of blogging.

“Your first 10,000 blog posts are your worst”

Like anything - blogging is something that the majority of us are not brilliant at in our early days. I look back at some of the posts I wrote in my first year of blogging and shudder with embarrassment. The mistakes were spectacular and frequent.

However with each mistake and failure comes a lesson, with every post comes comes a new skill and with each experiment comes a discovery of a technique that works (or doesn’t work).

If you’re a new blogger - don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t ‘click’ for you straight away.

Practice, Practice and Practice some more.
