Hi everyone!
“Blogging is a conversation, not a code.” – Mike Butcher.
I believe this is true. There should be a connection. Sadly, a lot of bloggers ignore this crucial key point! All they want is to let out their opinion and blabber without really connecting with their readers.
An effective communication contains two key components – speaker and the listener. The same holds true in the “blogsphere.” Unless the speaker (blogger) can effectively convey his idea, then there’s what we call a failure of communication.
Imagine this, you are the blogger, how will you cook up a blog that will perk the interest of your readers? Give that thought some precious seconds to sink in. If still unsure, let me offer these tips:
Blogging Tips
Compose Head Turning Headlines
Your headline is your readers first contact point with you. How well you craft this will determine
if you’ll turn a prospect into a follower. Always right a compelling one. Usually readers only want to know what they can get from you. Address that properly and you’ll get their attention. Make sense? Read on.
Start with a Strong First Statement
A strong opening statement will definitely add to the effectiveness of your blog, no doubt about it, so it’s pertinent that you take some considerable amount of time thinking of a killer statement. Take this approach along with your compelling headline as a one-two punch combination.
Readers can’t resist this approach. It’s the lure and the bait.
Learn how you can draw up a compelling headline and then boost it up further by giving it a killer opening statement. This can take a while, but with constant practice, you’ll get it eventually.
Use Powerful Words
According to the modern English language, words are not created equal. Some are more powerful than the others. Use these words to your advantage. Sprinkle your article with these powerful words. Some example are – you, free, new, because and instantly. Have you used these words lately in your posts?
Nothing beats a killer sentence!
“Sentences are the engines of creativity. “– Demian Farnworth. Nothing is truer than that fact. Take this sentence for example “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” See how instantly it painted a scene in your head? Killer sentence evokes emotion. It also creates an image in your mind. Lastly, always address the 5W’s, who, what, where, when and why. In short, be factual too!
Be Authentic
You are a unique creature. You have your way of structuring sentences that instantly inform readers that it’s you that they’re reading. Use this uniqueness to your advantage.
You see, the problem with today’s budding bloggers is that they want to be the next big Matt Marshall or any of those big name bloggers.
While it can help to have someone to look up to and imitate, in the long run you need to discover who you are.
