So here we go again. After a long hiatus, I’m relaunching this technology blog. Talk about consistency, right? I swear, starting over feels like déjà vu at this point. Yet again, I’m back with the goal of bringing you the best tech news, but this time, there’s a twist.
We’re going deeper into AI technology because, honestly, I don’t think there’s anyone left who hasn’t used generative AI by now. Whether it’s ChatGPT, Gemini, or something wild like Sora, everyone’s got their AI story.
And interestingly enough, I’ve decided that my first post after this long break should be about, well, starting your own AI and technology news blog. I mean, it’s what I’ve been researching lately, so why not share it with you guys?
Don’t worry, this won’t be a dull, step-by-step guide. Think of it more like a friendly roadmap sprinkled with personal lessons and real-world advice on how to run a (trending tech) blog that actually stands out.
Finding Your Voice: The Most Underrated Step
First things first: before you hit publish, you need to figure out your tone and style. That’s what separates a forgettable tech blog from one people come back to. Personally, I prefer clear, casual, and witty writing— the kind that feels like talking to a friend who just happens to know a lot about tech.
I’m assuming your blog is already set up (if not, don’t worry, I’ll talk about tools and platforms later). So let’s get into the real deal — the content.
The Tech Blog Identity Crisis
You see, a blog is basically a website filled with articles, reviews, and opinions, but a tech blog is a different beast. It can be about anything related to technology or computers: smartphones, apps, startups, gadgets, coding, cybersecurity, or the ever-expanding universe of artificial intelligence companies.
But here’s the catch — the internet is already overflowing with that kind of content. You could write a “Top 10 AI Tools” post today and find 100 similar ones before lunch. So what actually matters is how different you are.
That’s where your personality comes in. Your voice. Your take. Your weird, hyper-specific opinions that make people think, “Yeah, this guy gets it.”
And no, it’s not about memorizing the names of ten artificial intelligence companies and calling yourself an expert. It’s about living and breathing tech. Reading, experimenting, breaking things, fixing them, and then writing about it. You’ve got to eat, breathe, and sleep tech — that’s what builds authenticity.
Why Your Blog Should Feel Like You
Your blog should reflect who you are, what you love, and why your perspective matters. If you’re starting a tech blog, don’t make it a news dump of copy-pasted press releases. Make it personal. Talk about what you think of a product launch or what that new iPhone feature means to you.
If you’re writing about AI technology, don’t just say “AI is changing the world.” That’s old news. Write about how it changes your workflow. What tools excite you? What do you think is overhyped? That’s what people want — your take.
When you have a clear purpose, your content automatically attracts the right audience. Whether they’re developers, tech enthusiasts, or people just curious about artificial intelligence news, they’ll stay for your voice, not just the topic.
Writing With the Reader in Mind
Okay, let’s be real: blogging is part passion, part strategy. If you want your blog to grow, you have to understand your readers. What problems are they trying to solve? What topics are they constantly Googling?
You’re not just writing for yourself — you’re writing for them, with yourself in the mix. Keep every post helpful, clear, and relatable.
When I started out, I was scared to write about topics already covered by bigger names. Like, who am I to talk about AI technology when Wired or TechCrunch already exist? But here’s the thing — that’s not the point.
You’re not trying to outsmart the experts. You’re trying to share your own learning journey. You’re writing for yourself — to learn, to reflect — and it just so happens that others get to read along. That’s what “learning in public” is all about.
Finding Topics That Actually Matter
So, how do you know what to write about?
Start by listening. Watch what people talk about in Discord servers, Slack channels, or technology Reddit threads. The comment sections of tech videos are goldmines too. People literally tell you what they’re curious or confused about.
Then there’s Google Trends — my personal favorite. It’s a simple way to track what’s hot in the tech world. See which keywords are trending, and write your take on them.
Also, use ChatGPT or other LLMs as brainstorming tools. They won’t replace your creativity, but they’re great for idea generation or quick outlines.
Lastly, stay plugged into industry happenings. Subscribe to newsletters, podcasts, and the top artificial intelligence and tech blogs. Here are some of my go-tos:
- Wired
- TechCrunch
- Vox Technology
- Mashable Tech
- CNET
- The Verge
- Forbes Tech
- VentureBeat
- Gizmodo
- Engadget
These platforms keep you in the loop and help you stay relevant.
What to Cover in Your Blog
If you’re planning categories, start broad but stay consistent. Some of the main areas to cover in a (technology news) blog include:
- Mobile phone reviews and comparisons
- Latest (artificial intelligence) breakthroughs
- Gaming and entertainment tech
- Buying guides and product recommendations
- How-to tutorials and quick fixes
- App and software reviews
And of course, your personal tech journey
In my case, I’ll also be talking about freelancing, SEO, and (artificial intelligence news) — because that’s my world.
I’m also that guy you’ll find lurking on (technology reddit) threads at 3 AM, arguing over whether GPT-5 can really “think.”
So yeah, mix your expertise with your curiosity. That’s where the magic happens.
Building Your Blog’s Online Presence
Here’s a secret: good writing alone doesn’t get you readers. Visibility does.
Make sure your blog has an active presence on social media — especially Facebook, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and Instagram. Share bite-sized insights, graphics, or short takes on trending AI technology stories. This not only drives traffic but also helps Google recognize you as a credible voice.
If you’ve ever dipped your toes into SEO, you’ve probably heard about E-E-A-T — Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. It’s Google’s way of rewarding content that’s written by real people who know what they’re talking about.
If you haven’t heard of it, no worries — I’ll break it down in another post. But for now, just remember: your online presence matters as much as your blog content.
A Quick Word on SEO (Without the Jargon)
SEO doesn’t have to be intimidating. Think of it as helping Google understand what your blog is about.
If you want a proper guide, start with Google’s official one:
It’s beginner-friendly, detailed, and straight from the source.
The basics?
- Use clear, keyword-rich titles (but don’t stuff them).
- Write naturally.
- Add relevant links.
- Make your website fast and mobile-friendly.
- Be consistent — Google loves fresh content.
Combine that with your authentic voice, and you’ll slowly start seeing organic growth.
The Truth About Blogging (Nobody Tells You This)
Blogging isn’t a one-time sprint. It’s a slow climb that requires patience, creativity, and constant curiosity. Some days your posts will barely get views; other days, one tweet can blow up your traffic overnight.
But what really keeps you going is why you started. Whether it’s to build authority, share what you learn, or just rant about the latest Apple keynote — stay connected to that reason.
And most importantly: don’t let perfection slow you down. Publish your work, learn from feedback, and keep evolving.
Final Thoughts
That’s it for now. This post was as much for me as it was for you. I’m still working on fixing my blog’s template and design, but hey — progress over perfection, right?
If you’re also thinking of launching or relaunching your own AI or Technology News) blog, take this as your sign. Start messy. Start imperfect. Just start.
Because who knows — your next post might inspire someone to start theirs.
Wish me luck. Much more coming up. 🚀
