Very helpful tips.

But does anyone else feel like turning blogging into a ’science’ with flow charts and all, kind of takes out from the idea of natural blogging? I mean, if blogs become very well thought out and planned, then aren’t they articles?

Don’t get me wrong, i myself have a website (www.APigeonCalledFrank.com) that is NOT a blog but a website of frequently updated articles and small fictional pieces.

but my point is, does anyone else feel like we’re all suddenly taking blogging a bit too seriously?

Great tips.

I think in some instances , valuable direcly translates to ‘never-read-before” content.

Ultimately, people would want to read what they want to know. Most of the time they have concrete questions in mind; other times they stumble upon useful information without planning to. Indeed, identifying what your readers want to learn and creating some sort of outline or flow chart (even in your head) can help you come up with valuable content.

It’s definately more engrossing when an article asks questions and answers them. It is especially effective if you can bring the reader along to ask the same questions as they are reading, and answer them just at the right time.
Their reaction is then,

“Ah, I was wondering about that. Hmmm…cool.”

If you get them to do that, then they’re sold.

Based on previous articles you’ve written, you should’ve inserted another entry in the list, to make this more popular among the social media clickers, and named it “5 steps to more persuasive blogging.” :)

Joe Vitale’s Hypnotic Writing is another book written to help readers create captivating copy. I like the use of the flowchart – sometimes I feel copywriting is less about creativity and more about following the formula. Either way, it’s about using what works.

Great advice on writing captivating copy. Sometimes it is a challenge to keep the reader interested if the post is longer than normal. In writing on topics of holistic personal development, this type of structure is a very helpful reminder. Thanks.
