3 Blogging Lessons You Can Learn From a Chess Game

Chess is one of the world most popular board games. Do you think that you can learn 3 blogging lessons from a chess game?

1. Opening is very important

Getting a good opening is a very important thing to win a chess game. If your opening is bad you want to try very hard in the middle game to win.

It is same as blogging too. But blog opening is not your first post. Blog opening is selecting a niche and selecting a domain name for your blog.

That decision also can change your life too.  Look of the following two sentences, how Darren Rowse describe about, how his life has been changed.

Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life.

However, selecting a good blog topic and selecting a good domain name is very important for the success of your blog.

2. Pawn can be promoted as a queen

In chess, the pawn is a minor piece and the queen is a major piece. But in the end you can promote a pawn as a queen. That means if you play well you can get much work from a pawn.

What is the blogging lesson, you can get from this?

Think like this, a person lands on your blog to view a small post via a search engine. Then he will be a regular reader and he will buy a product from your affiliate link. So, that shows how much the small post worth.

So respect all your posts. If you write quality posts, don’t think much about traffic. Traffic will increase after few days, sometimes it takes few months. But don’t quit blogging because you can win.

3. King is the most important piece

King is the most important piece in a chess game. If you want to win, you must safe the king till you win.

In blogging, Content is the king. You can’t do anything without quality content as a blogger.

You can do many things to promote your blog like social media marketing, guestposting, blog commenting, forumposting, etc. But there is no point of doing such things without quality content. So always you should try to maintain quality of your blog.

In a previous post of mine, I shared 10 on-page optimization tips, but actually the most important thing is quality content for SEO. So remember that Google wants only the good content and it has been proved by the penguin update.

And also you can’t always depend on Google or social networks. You should be able to convert your new readers as blog subscribers. So the quality content is a must for that.
