Ten Tips for writing a blog post
The following post on tips for writing a blog was submitted by Lyndon from Flockblog who in his email to me with it described it as a simple ‘back to basics’ kind of post. Thanks Lyndon.
Get more Blog tips from our Blog Tips for Beginners series.
Here are ten tips that help me with my blog writing.
- Make your opinion known
- Link like crazy
- Write less
- 250 Words is enough
- Make Headlines snappy
- Write with passion
- Include Bullet point lists
- Edit your post
- Make your posts easy to scan
- Be consistent with your style
- Litter the post with keywords
1. Make your opinion known
People like blogs, they like blogs because they are written by people and not corporations. People want to know what people think, crazy as it sounds they want to know what you think. Tell them exactly what you think using the least amount of words possible.
2. Link like crazy.
Support your post with links to other web pages that are contextual to your post.
3. Write Less
Give the maximum amount of information with the least amount of words. Time is finite and people are infinitely busy. Blast your knowledge into the reader at the speed of sound.
4. 250 is enough
A long post is easier to forget and harder to get into. A short post is the opposite.
5. Make Headlines snappy
Contain your whole argument in your headline. Check out National newspapers to see how they do it.
6. Include bullet point lists
We all love lists, it structures the info in an easily digestible format.
7. Make your posts easy to scan
Every few paragraphs insert a sub heading. Make sentences and headlines short and to the point.
8. Be consistent with your style
People like to know what to expect, once you have settled on a style for your audience stick to it.
9. Litter the post with Keywords.
Think about what keywords people would use to search for your post and include them in the body text and headers. make sure the keyword placement is natural and does not seem out of place.
10. Edit your post
Good writing is in the editing. Before you hit the submit button, re-read your post and cut out the stuff that you don’t need.
I hope you enjoyed my tips for writing a blog post – feel free to share your own blog writing tips below.

These ten tips on writing blog post are really helpful for a beginner like me. I have just started a blog named ‘Live Blog’ at http://live-blog.blogspot.com/ . I have also signed up for the Google Adsense Program. Currently I am planning to post some high quality blogs. I have been searching for some good pages about ways to increase traffic to blogs on http://del.icio.us/ and I ended up here.

Good points. Especially keeping posts short.
I would add using pictures where appropriate and asking a question of the readers to increase feedback..

I’ve been blogging for 5 months now, on a previous blog I just sold. I have started a new one and can honestly tell you that it is easy to stray and become long-winded, and boring. As I start my new blog your 10 points are are just what the doctor ordered. I have copied and pasted them as my wallpaper on my notebook so I won’t forget them.
Thanks for the really excellent pointers.

Here’s one that has to go in the Top 10: Write a good summary. Not only is it important for SERPs and SEO, it’s good for RSS. Also, if you show summaries on your index page and link into full-text entries for your permalink, it can make your blog index page much more user-friendly.

Excellent article, I enjoy every article I read here. Can I add something? You mentioned that it is a great idea to provide links. Lots of them… I have an article that talks about how to find good links to back link too. I think with how blogs are formatted, publisher’s archived articles get lost in cyberspace, yet then tend to get a higher PR as time goes by. I think finding relevant archived articles on other blog sites and providing a reference link back to these pages within your article is an excellent thing to do. Not only does it help your site’s PR but also provides such an awesome way to spread great content out to your viewer base. It’s all about sharing cool things and great information… that’s what links are all about and it is a shame that so many have abused that.
I really enjoy finding new sites that I can not only “Trust” but also find very useful, informative and entertaining.
Regards,
Garry

Good Blog Posting at Brendan Perrotta
February 6th, 2007 11:45 am
[...] My teacher recently had us read some articles on blog posting (Good Blog Writing Style and Ten Tips for writing a blog post), more specifically, what makes a good blog post. After reading these articles, I started to think a little about how I’ve been writing my posts, both on this site and my Livejournal account I write for my family and friends back home. Here on this site, I’ve more or less tried to keep them brief and to the point, because writing too much 1) gets difficult sometimes for me to keep coherent and 2) people don’t always have time to read ridiculously long posts/rants. However, if I at some point I really am into what I was writing, the above would be mute, however, my strategy of writing would change somewhat. The main points of the post would still be present in the first paragraph so the reader may get a general overview of what I am attempting to write about followed by more general information and tangents about the main points in later body paragraphs. This is something I’m NOT doing on my other blog, I realized however, but I feel that since I’m writing for my family and friends, I’d want to make it a story, not information sharing. The other thing the articles mention is linking to other sites so readers can follow up the blog post with additional information that is relevant. Since I’m still relatively new to blogging, this idea was something I had to get used to doing and remembering to do so. I think however that I’ve gotten a handle on it and am getting better at it; it changed my LiveJournal blog in that now I can link to the pictures that relate to the story that I’ve been telling people about which makes then make the stories more lively. These tips I feel will also help me accomplish my goals this semester with this site, which for the most part are to report what I am learning in class, report on things I notice about Japan as I walk around, and any other random things I want to talk about. These tips will allow me to organize my thoughts so to more easily convey my ideas and messages to the world and hopefully to start people thinking. And thinking I must do some more of right now so I’ll be back later with my new thoughts. Happy Blogging! [...]

Blogging like any other type of printed media is only as good as the reader-blogger interaction.
I can write four words that will set off someone on a post. Or I can write a thousand words and only the first four will get read.
Controversy is probably the best thing available to any writer. Controversy breeds discussion, apathy breeds nothingness as far as the relativity of the subject.

This is a nice list, thanks for going in-depth to each topic. I recently started a blog dealing with mobile devices, so i decided to browse around to see what others had come up with. I came across a blogger who had reportedly started making 5 grand a month with his cell phone review blog!!! Anyway, when i checked out his site… I noticed almost all of his posts were very short… some just a couple sentences. Short and too the point. That is great motivation to know that you don’t need to write 500 word essays on every post!

This is indeed a helpful post especially to those people who are planning to have their own blog, just like me. I usually read blogs that have “catchy” titles and just scan with the content. I’m practicing how to “write” blogs using this tips so that I can have my own content rather than choosing to buy essay and other content online.
Quality Articles
December 25th, 2008 12:52 am
I just read something somewhere “out there” that indicates that throwing out any old blog post, something of dubious quality, is actually very detrimental to one’s brand. So, if one is trying to become recognized as an authority, it is important to write quality posts.
So, for that reason, I’d like to hand you some kudos for this very effective post. It lines out exactly what needs to happen to create a quality article. The only thing I would add is that it is good to plan ahead a little bit. Creating an outline of your topic and then “fleshing it out” will help the process. Also, a simple 3-step approach helps: Tell the reader what you are going to tell them–tell them–then tell them what you just told them: summary, article body and re-summarization.
Thanks!

Thanks for the tips. Will be starting my blog tonight so am cramming for some late tips.
One of my own, coming from a blog reader, don’t make private anything that’s not necessary. When I’m checking out a blog I get annoyed if I get excluded from banal topics such as ‘my favourite movie’. Why? If you’re setting up an online clique, fine, but if you want publicity let your readers get hooked by lots of free access stuff and then, if you really feel the need, set up members-only sections.
Also, the cliche ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ doesn’t necessarily apply at all times. e.g. Google doesn’t care about your images, just their labels when it’s searching for your site!

The content you have provided is pretty interesting and useful and I will surely take note of the point you have made in the blog.
Today I was browsing the Internet for information on some additional means of promoting my website apart from online promotion which I have been doing. I then came across Web Windows and found that this was the most ideal solution to complement my online marketing strategy. I bought my newspaper ad space here as it has got a readership of millions and what could be a better opportunity than this to get a national coverage at half the cost of the rate card.
I thought this information might be useful for anyone looking for solutions to get more traffic to their website at affordable rates.

Make your comments amusing would be the 11th good writing tip. People like to be amused and if you’re adding an opinion to something that really gets on your nerves, people don’t want to depress them, they want it to amuse them. This way it cheers them up and they’re more likely to come back if you give them something to titter about.
The 12th also would be: be honest. Brutally honest. If people want to read all about you, then they want to know everything – especially what make you tick. Think Big Brother – they are not famous, but they bear all and the public love it.
The 13th and most important: don’t swar at your reader, if the reader finds it distateful they will go away and never come back. However, dropping the odd profanity into 1 in 50 posts can be palatable or even amusing! Use with caution!

“make sure the keyword placement is natural and does not seem out of place.”
I couldn’t agree with this more. Keyword placement without keyword loading is an art. All the keywords and keyword-phrases in the world won’t help if the post is bloated with them. If it’s annoying for you to read it will certainly be annoying to others.
I sometimes re-read my articles many, many times before posting them. It always amazes me that I find some more fat to be trimmed or spelling and grammer mistakes the fifth time through. :/
Great job posting this up Darren, Lyndon hit the nail on the head.
“Litter the post with Keywords”

Be controversial too, but be prepared for naysayers. Titles are super important but it’s had to pick between a throw away line which may attract hits (or not) like “Give Fear the Finger” and a sensible one like “Live the Life You Want.” which is so dull. In this instance I cheated and used both to create “Give Fear the Finger, and Live the Life You Want.”
Well, it makes me happy:)
