You can’t have a blog without any blog posts—so at some point, you need to take the plunge. A great way to begin writing your first blog post, is by introducing yourself and your family, and sharing a little about why you decided to start a blog. Don’t be afraid to see how some of the top AI content writing tools can help supplement your personal writing process, too.
Beyond that, you’ll need some ideas for blog topics to write about. You might think about the questions you had as a newer dad—or you might want to share some funny stories or poignant moments from your parenting journey so far. Maybe your very first father’s day wasn’t quite what you’d expected or you’ve got a moving experience to share about your kid with Down syndrome.

6. Promote Your Dad Blog and Grow Your Audience
You’ve got everything ready to become a dad blogger: your blog has a fun, catchy b2b email lists poland name, you’ve made it look great, and you’ve written a few early blog posts.
But something’s missing… readers. You might think that great content will, one way or another, find its audience. But that’s a bit like hoping that your kids’ discarded socks will magically find their way into the laundry hamper—without any prompting from you.
To get an audience, you need to draw people’s attention. That means promoting your blog content, so that other dads (and moms, and grandparents) can benefit from all the great posts you’ve written.
For everything you need to know on this, take a look at my guide: 32 Ways to Drive Traffic to Your Blog. If you’re in a hurry, though, here are some great starting points:
Learn About SEO: Search Engine Optimization (usually abbreviated to SEO) means using a range of best practices to get your blog’s content to rank well in search engines. If you want to build a money-making dad blog, then you’re going to need the high-volume traffic that strong SEO can bring you—start with doing some smart keyword research and using one of the best free keyword research tools on the market.
Get New Visitors Onto Your Email List: Your blog’s email list is how you stay in touch with the dads who visit your blog and let them know about your new posts. You’ll need an email sign-up form on your blog (somewhere prominent) so that new visitors can easily join the list. To get more sign-ups, offer some kind of incentive, like your handy packing checklist of “solo day out with the baby” items.
Write Guest Posts for Other Dad Blogs: Guest blogging lets you borrow the audience of another—more established—dad blogger. It’s a win-win-win scenario: you get access to that audience, along with a link back to your own blog (great for SEO). The blog’s readers get to benefit from your perspective and ideas. And the blog host gets to take a day off from blogging.
