This make the writing process so easy. Personally, I like to write the main points of my new post then I write the subordinate points to write on all of them. This make the writing process so easy.

He shares: Try to cover too much ground in the one post and you run the risk of overwhelming your readers. While there’s nothing wrong with having multiple points in a post - I generally try to keep them to one larger idea per post.

You can then address your additional idea in a seperate post as a Part 2, or a "related post". This keeps your content more focused, less scattered and your focused treatment of the second idea seperately will probably result in more content that is clearer for your readers.

Perhaps you think another idea would be more interesting to your readers so you choose to take that path instead of the thought you originally had. Then, because you still want to get that first idea in there (because it was what inspired you in the first place), you don't really want to take it out even if it doesn't connect with the second idea. I find myself sorting through ideas even during a post, and while this can actually work for some, for most (including myself) it may just come across as scattered. Thoughtful post.

I spend so much time thinking of what to even blog about, and then not really putting time or thought into how im putting a message across. Lots of great reading and applying to do here.

By using that as a focal point, I hope to inject my own style into a sometime dry subject. I've been reading blogs for about 5 years and those that continue to hold my interest always seemed to reflect the personality of the writer. Of course, the topic had to interest me as well. I hope that I am able to engage readers and have them continue to come back, but my ultimate goal is to provide good info to parents who want to work from home to be with their families, and to do it in a fun way. Even if I don't interest everyone, if I do reach my desired audience, then to me it's working. Then again, I'm just starting to build a readership (well, trying to any way) so I expect things will evolve as I go forward.
