The question
day
"Should you start a Blog?"
People all over
planet are blogging. Companies, CEOs, lawyers, journalists,
stewardesses. Even dogs
babies.
Why? Because they can. It's
simple.
Blogging requires little or no learning curve. If you can type, speak into a phone, bark, chew, record a holiday movie, you can blog.
Blogs have taken publishing out

those who know HTML

make this powerful tool available
rest
us.
That holiday
Far East, your grandma's birthday, you company's latest
product offering, your new recipe
rum cake, your daughter's first step,
your pet's antics, what you thought
Garfield movie - you can blog all
this
more.
A blog
an online journal or diary. Which makes
ideal
voicing your
opinion, recording your pregnancy blahs or announcing your company's latest
acquisition.
People are using them
communicate with family,
education,
business,
almost anything else you can think of.
But one thing not all blogs get
a readership.
Unless your blog
only
your family or your business colleagues, you're
probably writing with
hope
someone will read about what you think.
So many blogs are started with little or no purpose. If you want
blog
survive, first start by answering your why.
If you're writing only
search engine spiders, then be prepared
no one but them
read your keyword-rich spam.
Blogs demand a readership. And
that you have
write about something worth
reading.
Here are some tips
follow if you want human beings
read your blogs.
1. Stay
topic
Opinions are fine, but unless you're
CEO
Microsoft, very few people
will want
know what you ate
breakfast. If you started your blog
air
your raves
rants about
latest movie you saw, better mention movies
at least every post you write.
2. Write
a conversational tone
Forget what your English professor taught you. Write
way you speak, or
you'll end up sounding uptight
unnatural. And no one reads tightass copy...
even from
CEO
Microsoft.
3. Be opinionated
Your blog
not a company brochure or a press release, but a way
people
a.k.a. your target audience,
get
know
real you. The worst sin you
can commmit
bore your readers. Most people respond better
an honest
airing
views than pleasant platitudes. And if you get a few rude or nasty
comments
response
your posts, just accept
fact that you can't please
everyone
4. Be funny
Infuse your posts with your natural wit
a better response from your target
audience. And if not everyone appreciates your particular brand
humor, read
last sentence
point above.
5. Stay informed
If you're writing about your profession, you'd better know what you are talking
about. Word spreads at
speed
thought
blogospere
if you're
trying
become an authority
something you know very little of, prepare
yourself
brickbats.
6. Stay current
Write about
latest developments
your field. No one wants
read stuff
that has been around
a long time, or that hundreds
other bloggers have
chronicled.
7. Update frequently, but don't burnout
Most blogs die because
blogger burnout - bloggers trying
update too frequently.
Stick
a publishing schedule that
humanly possible
you. If you've just
updated your blog
find a story you want
share, save
later.
On
other hand, don't post just because you think you have
stick
a
schedule. Going a few days or even weeks without posting
fine if you really
have nothing worth sharing.
So are you still wondering if you should blog?
If you think you can meet
requirements above,
know your why, then like
shoe people say - just do it.
Resistance
futile.
