What Are Good Poetry Blogs On Quora?

There are many blogs on Quora for poetry. I'm associated with Poignant Painter as a budding poet cum host :)

Currently, this blog is not having any rules or regulations. It's a free world as that's the conductive environment for the budding poets.

Tips for Budding Poets:-

1. Don't restrict yourself to just one or two emotions. Please explore andwrite about different emotions- love, joy, happiness, friendship, betrayal, innocence, sadness, hope, growth, Inner voice, healing, Inner strength, self respect, satisfaction, etc.
2. Write stuffs from your heart. Don't worry....nobody judged me here.
3. Don't write for audience but know your audience.
4. Don't use cuss words as there are many other words in the dictionary for each one of them. This will grow your vocabulary.
5. Push your limits and get out of your comfort zone to write on topics which are not easy for you.

What you have done for 30 days that changed your life?

I gave myself open challenge on 10th June 2015 to write 111 beautiful posts when I neither had the skill, nor determination to start writing. Fast forward 8 months. I successfully run half-a-dozen blogs* [Blog Description at end] which ranges from Career advice, CAT/GATE/PSUs Preparation Tips, blogging and writing tips, Blog as a successful platform for budding poets, Psychological Patterns, Life Lessons, etc

Excerpts from Challenged myself to write 111 beautiful blog posts in 30 days

Hello Everyone,

I am a simple person who always tries to push his limits.  Easy stuffs do not motivate me. I am driven by quality, passion and purpose in life.  I have challenged myself in front on my blog reader that I will write 111 beautiful blog posts in 30 days i.e. by 10th July 2015.

Hope to delight you with my blog posts whose underlying theme is that Life is beautiful and we are here to make it more beautiful.

I will keep you posted of the updates on my goal here. You can follow my blog on Google plus or can subscribe through email.  Enjoy this blog  Life is Beautiful !!

CHALLENGE : To publish 111 beautiful blog posts in 30 days!!

UPDATE          : 43/111 Completed- 30 Days!!!

OUTCOME     : I aimed for 111 posts in 30 days but could write 43 posts in that time. I am very happy with the experience as this challenged encouraged me to write regularly. I am looking forward to keep writing.

Although, I failed to complete the challenge. I lost the challenge but also won as it made me who I am today. That challenge kept me awake till 2'o' clock in night when I used to wake up at 7 in the morning for office.

It is one of the best thing I did to kill procrastination. I've skipped meals as I was so much into writing that I didn't realized that it's already midnight. It has been a time when I was writing, writing and writing.

My roommates felt that I've gone crazy, some felt I'm trying for any competitive exam. Although, I was not preparing for any exam but the intensity was much like my IIT Preparation days. Ah...those golden days.

I was working for 12 hours due to some hectic schedule still I would cut down on Lunch time, phone calls and all that I could to get a little more time for writing.

The lessons I was learning was impeccable. I was wise to pick up early that I won't get readers from the blog and rather than worrying about audience. I started building my blog- brick by brick. It is that strong foundation that got laid then which enabled me to transform my future as a writer or blogger by leaps and bounds.

I've written around 400 posts in 6 months which gave me the confidence to scale up things. I am now into niche blogging despite by busy schedule. The lessons I learned as a blogger is a experience worth the effort. I didn't paid in money to learn blogging. I paid with my hard word, sheer determinate and the courage to keep going despite some personal setbacks.

In fact, blogging helped me get past those hurdles quickly and I was on a fast track. I've got the aggression in my efforts and tranquility in my writing.

I'm still a newbie writer who used blogger and Quora to be a writer, story teller, blogger, Ardent observer, Motivator, Poet, and career consultant.

All those were the things that I identified that I would do for free if money is not an issue. After procrastinating for long, I found my calling. I know how I'm going to scale up things. In my Life- Quora, My Day Job and Blogger all compliment each other.

I use Quora in a way that is different from the way most people would use. See how I used Quora as a Writing Platform Rohan Sinha's answer to What is a good site to improve your writing?

Miles to go before I sleep.... this was the line from Robert Frost that  kept me motivated throughout the journey. I feel more proud in being a blogger as I have struggled a lot, every single day and still struggle to manage so many things from office to personal interests to Friends and Family.

I am not in a position to give back to all those people who have unknowing supported me throughout this journey. So, I've decided to give back to the Quora Community. I am sharing what I do in the field of blogging after 8 months 18 days after I started that challenge.  There are twist and turns on the way but sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can. ( Quote by Shiv Kheda)

Why Did You Start Blogging?

Why did you start blogging?

• To distract myself from my problems.
• To find my voice which was getting lost.
• To Tell my story..even if nobody was interested.

What made you a blogger/writer?

• Blogging is the melting pot of my other interests like photography, reading, mentoring, gardening, travelling, etc.
• I would take photos and would write about my memories attached with it.
• I travel and write about my travel experiences.
• These days, I'm writing a lot about the journey of my siblings- one jobless and another in a dream job. Both are an inspiration for the blog Career Consultant

How To Promote Your Blog Through Quora?

What you're offering to your audience?
What's your USP?
What is something that you do better than many other? Blog is a place where you can freely tell your tale. If you're touching life of others, you would get readers and followers. 
I've not done anything extraordinary yet I get readers from quora on my blog. When you add value for others through your answers/posts then you're bound to get followers and readers on your blog. Like Quora, I don't monetize my blog and pursue blogging as a hobby without worrying about money or followers. This strategy is doing wonders for me. My friends say I'm crazy for not signing up for adsense despite my consistency at blogging, they're not wrong. But, trust me, you can do wonders at blogging when your focus is only on telling your story and finding your voice in the process. I have never wrote for audience but I have always known my audience. Let your audience find you. Leave them with a lot of curiosity and they will ask google about you and would find your blog. You can give link to your blogs on your quora bio and see the magic. :p

How I Maintained And Grew My Blog?

1. I challenged myself to write 111 blogposts in 30 days. It paid off.
2. I could barely write 43 posts during the time frame but the trick worked.
3. Hence, I managed to write around 400 posts in  6 months.
4. Point No-3 happened because of Quora.
5. I used questions as props and thus could write on a wide variety of topics.
6. I've never sign up for any monetizing plan as it helps me stay focus on blogging as a passion.
7. I don't want to pursue writing or blogging as a full time activity as I always want to pursue these for free. Still, you never know...my plans often fail and I take a different route from the one planned.
8. Most people say that "Write for your audience"- I didn't wrote for them....I didn't tried to find audience.
9. I'm not arrogant...I'm just aware of the fact that as a newbie, I need to establish my expertise rather than running behind anyone.
10. When you add value through your posts then sooner or later, your blogs will get the right audience.
11. So, Focus on building a resourceful blog rather than building the follower or reader list.
12. I'm telling all this as I'm coming from ZERO. And, I'm learning and enjoying the whole process.
13. After all, I have the freedom to express myself. I'm destined to grow.
14. Keep writing and put a heap of low, high and average contents. You can always remove the excess fat and give direction to your blog.
