Make Your Blog Look More Professional business woman with laptop thinking neededinthehome

If you’ve been told that you’ll never make any money from your blog, then the first thing to know is this: they’re wrong. You absolutely can make money from blogging! However, it is true that standards have been raised in recent years. Today, you need to have a touch of professionalism if you’re going to make an income from your website. So how can you make your blog look more professional? We take a look at some tried and tested methods below. If you see something about your website that needs changing, then make the change – you might just see that you’re getting more visitors in no time at all.

How to Make Your Blog Look and Feel More Professional

 

Pay a Website Designer

 

There is nothing wrong with free website themes, in general, but there is one issue; many people are using them. The nicest car on the road will lose some of its magic if everyone drove one! As such, you’ll be well served by working with a website designer to build your own site. You’ll be able to make it uniquely your own, and look stylish and modern at the same time. When people land at your site, they’ll know that it’s a step above the others.

 

Avoid the Annoying Aspects

 

Keeping your visitors happy is an underrated aspect of running a blog. You might have the greatest content, and the best design on earth; but if you’re annoying your visitors, then you’ll find it hard to make much money. What does an annoying website look like? It’s all about features such as intrusive pop-ups, autoplay videos with sound, and terrible display. Your website is unlikely to be so brilliant that people will overlook these aspects to stay on your site. Though it’s tempting to go overboard with some features, keep in mind that you might just be pushing your visitors away!

 

Think Like a Business

 

If you want your blog to function as your business, then you need to think like a business. Simple! So incorporate some business aspects in your blog. You should have a “contact us” page that’s filled out with as much information as possible, including a place to receive mail; if you don’t have a business address, then get one at https://physicaladdress.com. You should also have company branding, even if you’re just a one-person operation. It’ll make your blog seem more robust, weighted, and like a real company.

 

Use High-Quality Videos and Images and Words

 

You can tell a good website from a bad one pretty quickly. The bad ones have grainy videos and images, and there are spelling and grammatical errors everywhere. Make sure this isn’t happening to you! When it comes to your media and text, if you want to make your blog look more professional, only the best will do. What’s more: there’s no excuse. There are plenty of websites that provide copyright free images and videos, and there are websites that’ll check your spelling and so on, too.

The Best Content

 

Why are people going to visit your website? They’re not doing it as a favor to you. They’ll only visit, stay, and then return to your site at a later date if you’re giving them something that they can’t get elsewhere. If you’re just rehashing the same type of articles you’ve seen on other websites, then forget it – those other sites are more original, so they’ll do it better than you! Be original, and make sure you’re putting out quality content. It’s much better to have ten great blogs rather than thirty substandard blogs. Spend the bulk of your time making sure your content is as good as it can be – it’ll be your bread and butter.

 

Don’t Get Too Personal

 

There is sometimes a place for getting personal on your blog. It’s a nice touch, but only if it’s in keeping with your branding. If it’s not part of your vibe, then it’ll only undo your professionalism. Make sure you’re establishing a voice, and then work hard on staying true to that voice. If you’re letting yourself go too much, you might find that you’ve compromised the seriousness of your blog – and when that happens, it can be difficult to get it back.

 

Update and Refresh

 

Your blog can’t just stand still. From time to time, you’ll need to update the look and refresh the feel of the website. This is risky, for sure, so you’ll need to think about the right approach to take – but if you don’t, then you run the risk of falling behind the times. If you want your blog to be professional, then do as other professional companies do, and look to the future.
