Blogging Tips No 7: Customized Your Blog Theme

For every new bloggers out there, they will tend to use a free theme for their blog, I did that when I first started. Of course there are cons in using the free wordpress themes, but today I will share more on why you should use a customized one rather than a free one.

Customized blog theme looks unique from the other blog themes, because it is the one and only (unless your blog theme designer was not ethical) in the world. You see that everyone is unique in their looks and character, so your blog should also look unique and have it’s own character. Your blog should reflect your personalities, and your blog readers will relate to you more. You will have to communicate with your blog designer and tell him/her what is it you are like and the niche you are in as well.

Readers will remember your blog more as it is different from others, giving them a deeper impression. The readers will not think ‘this is just another blog‘ and move on, instead this will increase the chances of them returning to your blog. Of course your content must be good as well to draw them back for more.

Most of the time when I see a blogger has their own unique blog, they tend to look much nicer than the average ones. There are of course free blog theme that are nice looking too, but will have defeat the purpose to stand out from the rest if you use them.

Another reason why you should use a customized blog theme is to brand yourself. Branding is not just for corporate companies, but also for individual. Branding yourself as an expert in your niche, will bring in more targeted readers to you, that is why your blog theme must be related to your niche.

One of the main reasons for new bloggers not to use a customized blog theme, is that they are expensive. The customized blog theme can sometimes go as high as over USD $1,000, would’nt that discourage you? I sure did.

A quick advise on customized blogging theme is that you may not want to use it now, as you may be new and not getting a lot of traffic, but in due time when you are more successful, getting more traffic, getting more sales, you should use them to keep your readers coming back for more.
