Blogging Tips
Bloggers have various reasons they post their Blogs. I think that an underlying theme is to share information with interested parties. Others blog to generate business, leads, self promotion….
Before I write a post I ask myself this question; Would a reader like to know about this subject? From that point I pull together research. There are times that I will finish the research and can the post because the answer to my question changed.
Be consistent. If you want to post once a day, week , month, stick to it. To me nothing is worse than reading one or two good posts, then the blogger doesn’t post for three months.After checking the blog site three-four times, I give up.
Pick a time when you will write. I usually write my posts at night. This takes some thought and practice. I try to write at least 3 posts at one sitting. I enjoy writing so my mind is naturally looking for material.
Follow other blogs. Look at several different styles of writing. Time and practice will help you develop your own style. I like to include charts and pictures. BP has made this simple to do.
Here are some resources that helped me: BooksHow to Read a Book, Mortimer Adler, MJF Books, NY, 1940,1972 The Truth About Getting More Done, Mark Fritz, FT Press, NJ, 2009 YouTube vids on blogging.
