Blogs For You

Archive for the ‘How to Blog’ Category

If you are new to the concept of blogging that is okay.  It is a very easy thing to learn and more and more people are doing it.  Unlike Facebook or Twitter, Blogging involves you taking the time to think through what you want to write about and then actually writing it out, reading through it for errors in spelling or grammar and then posting it.  You should not use shorthand for your blog posts.  They are similar to essays or articles that you read in a newspaper.  We cannot tell you what to write about only give advice on what we have found to be good in the blogs we have read.

We teach our customers the mechanics of how to blog but you must come up with the subjects.  We do recommend that your articles be at least 200 words or more and not more than 500 words.  You want to capture your readers attention but not put them to sleep.  Choosing a title of your posting is important as well.  Generally, the title of the posting is part of the internet link created once you publish your blog entry.  It should be catchy but informative and not too long.  Long links have a way of being truncated when someone shares a link to your article with someone else.  And finally, leave them wanting more.  You want to write about one thing at a time so that you have more material to write about in the future.  Most blogs really should be updated at least once a month but the really good ones are updated weekly or even daily.
