A blog is not a blog without content,the difference between a blog and a website are a blog is regularly updated with what is supposed to be fresh,quality content.It is not hard to come across a blog that is not updated for a month,a few month or even a year.It is also not hard to see blogs without quality content too,especially if the blog is about a certain niche.
I've written many times before on why you should blog about topics that you know to be able to write regularly about it.What I want to share this time is about how to write your article,or making a post to your blog.
I've written many times before on why you should blog about topics that you know to be able to write regularly about it.What I want to share this time is about how to write your article,or making a post to your blog.
- Topic.Write about things related to the topic of your blog.You can write about something else once in a while,maybe something about you personally,but keep it to the minimum.People subscribe to your blog because they are interested about the article which are relevant to your blog topic,but if you wandered off this topics to many times or constantly writing something unrelated,don't be surprised to see your subscribers declining.
- Knowledge.You must have knowledge about your blog topic,and you can share your knowledge,experience by writing it in your blog.Knowing what you write will leave an impression among your readers that you know your stuff,earning you credibility and will certainly make you an authority figure about that particular topic.You can always add this knowledge,and get latest news by doing research and reading.Read and research your blog articles.
- Keyword.An important aspect that you should not leave out while writing your article.Mixing related keywords in your articles will help boost your SEO,but don't fill your articles with keywords until your article become meaningless,write good informative article and blending in nicely all those necessary keywords into it.
- Title.Some write the title and then the article,some wrote the article and then choose a suitable title,which ever it is,give your article a good,attractive,attention grabbing title.That is how newspaper are sold,the title attract people to buy it,they just have to know what is the story behind the title.
- Points.If you have an idea about what to post to your blog,write it in your notebook or on a piece of paper in point forms.Write your post according to those points,elaborating about it as you write.
- Formats.Write your article and break long post into paragraph.Use numbering or bullets when giving breakdown,align your post to the left or justify it to make your posting look neat .
- Fonts.Choose the right font and the right font size for your article.Use simple font and a good font size so it is not too small or too big.
- Highlighting.Highlight important words by making it bold,or using italic on names or title.Only use coloured text when it is really necessary,because sometimes readers will confuse it as links,and don't use colourful text if it is a niche blog.You can find it normally on personal blogs,but I don't see the reason in doing so.
- Be yourself.Write the way you want to,as you like and as you see fit.You are not submitting the articles to get exam grades or writing an English Literature.Some people will complain about your grammar,or how bad your English is,you have no flow in your article.Take it all in your stride,everybody loves to be a critic,it is easy to give critic and the most important thing is,nobody is perfect.The important thing is readers can understand you.
Writing an article,posting it to your blog is something that you have to get used to.Once you do it regularly,routinely,the flow will come,and it won't be as hard when you first start writing.
