Day 5 – Writing Your Blog

Advertisement

When it comes to blogging, the writing is where the proverbial rubber meets the road. You can have the best software, the fastest servers, and a fabulous team of experts, but if you’re not posting the right things, the right way, at the right time, you’ll be at a serious disadvantage.

In this chapter, we focus on how to take the tools at your disposal and align them with your skills and talents so that you can create killer content that gets attention and respect.

Passion and Purpose

The best blogs, the ones that get a lot of readers and buzz, have authors who are passionate about their sites and are dedicated to creating great online destinations. Passionate and purposeful blogs are built on three pillars of success: they are regularly updated; they have excellent content; and they deliver value for their intended audience. Understanding how theses pillars work together is critical to having not just a good blog, but a great one.

Commitment To Content

Commitment to content means understanding that posting is now an integral part of your life. It means you’ll want to constantly scan the horizon for items to write about, and to figure out how to mak those items relevant to your readers.

If providing compelling content is a strategy for success, the key tactic is to focus on bringing something new to the table. A good post is one that contributes new information or, to a lesser extent, extensive commentary about some issue on which the participant is an expert.

Better yet, when practical, try to create a posts that are not derived from other blog writings at all. There’s an old saying to write what you know – and chances are you know a lot about your business.

Use your unique personal experience and knowledge to create original content that others can regurgitate.
