The core of blogging is centered around having the ability to create compelling content on a regular basis. How this is done varies as each blogger has his or her own writing style. However there are some basic principles of blogging you should always keep in mind.
Creating your blog post
First you must know how to properly produce a blog post. Many writers try to get their content out as fast as they can and are eager to click the publish button. Writing needs the time to evolve and stepping back a bit will allow you to see things you may not have caught in the first place. You’re not in a race, so don’t treat it like you are, as your writing will certainly suffer because of it. Remember to use your words as the tools you need to shape your posts into an adventurous journey for your reader. Even if you’re simply writing a how-to guide on teaching a dog to sit, make it fun while still being informative.
Choose a Topic – Take some time to define your topic and think about how it will relate to your readers.
Create the Title – This in most cases, is the most crucial part of engaging your reader to continue on to your post as this will show up in your RSS feed as well as in the search engines. So choose it wisely.
Explaining your Point(s) – Explain your point(s) in detail and explain why it should matter to your reader. If you are writing a “How-To” guide be sure to present the reader with the problem, then the solution.
Check for Errors – Taking the extra time to fix small errors, and making your post ‘look’ good is what will take it to the next level. Readers will sometimes attribute a messy post to a incompetent writer, when what really happened is your formatting got messed up a bit. Take the time to fix any grammatical errors you may find also.
Timing of Your Post – Timing your post just right will ensure that the right people see it at the right time.
Take a few minutes before you hit that publish button to ensure that your post is in order, and your title is doing its job of being informative as well as catching the readers attention. Learning to take the time your writing needs and developing the skills needed to “create” your posts will ensure your readers will enjoy your content each time you post.
