It takes experience and practice to be good at anything. Good writing does matter; anyone can be a successful blogger with the right framework, dedication and attitude.
.
Throughout the blogging process you will learn what your readers respond to and what topics will appeal to a wider or to a more specific audience (depending on the purpose of your blog). You will become a better writer along the way. There are several other benefits you’ll gain. For example, you’ll become a better thinker. The blogging process encourages you to stop and think deeper. You will delve deeper into the matters of your life or your business and the worldviews that shape them.
.
When you start a blog think about:
.
1. What questions or topics does your audience have? What are they concerned about? Passionate about? Make a list.
2. Eliminate every word and sentence that does not move the story along. Don’t make your post more than 1,000 words.
3. Spend time creating an accurate, interesting headline. If your headline does not compel people to “click,” they will never get to the blog post.
.
If you are just starting out or worried about your writing skills, ask a close friend or family member to read your first few blogs to give you feedback. Don’t forget to double check the spelling, grammar, and an easy to read format.
.
So, get going! Starting is the hardest part. You cannot become a great blog writer in one day, but you can become a great blog writer someday!
