Blog Posting Tutorial

By Don Bethune

Blog Post Writing. Whether or not you are a gifted writer, you can write a perfect blog post. By following the steps in the \"Perfectionist's Guide to Blob Post Writing\" you will create compelling blog postings and attract the kind of blog site vistors you seek and they will keep coming back for more.

Start by thinking about the readership you are after and what they care about. For example parents have interests that differ greatly from those of their children. You must get to know the interests of your readers in order to choose topics and writing style.

The topics you choose must be of interest to your regular visitors and attract new readers. Scan the headlines and find opportunities to package current events to peak the interests of your audience. Make sure you choose subjects your readers care passionately about.

It is best to have a specific purpose for your site. Is your goal to inform? Are your trying to entertain your readers? Maybe you just want to make them think? Set the appropriate tone (serious? humorous?). With a clear purpose and appropriate tone, visitors will know right away whether your site is right for them and you will be able to give those who stay exactly what they want.

How to write the perfect blog post. One area where bloggers often miss the mark is on length. Your blog post should be short and sweet. Most readers will be turned off when presented with a lengthy blog post and will simply not read it. Try to keep your blog post at a readable length. Your goal is to keep readers on your site and wanting to come back daily to read your new posts.

The most important aspect of writing a blog post are keywords. Your post needs to be keyword rich in order to attract a large audience. This can be accomplished using website traffic monitoring and other tools. What keywords have been bringing readers to your site? Which keywords will bring even more? Also, remember to place and integrate the keywords so that the post still reads fluently and sounds as though the keywords belong in the post.

The last thing to remember is being different is good. You will bore your readers if you simply rehash topics they have likely read about on other sites. If you like what you read elsewhere, find new and interesting angles on the topic. Keep things current and unique.

Blog Posting. Know the purpose for your site, keep your readers' interest in mind, and update your site regularly with new and interesting material. Avoid wordiness, differentiate your site, and evenly distribute keywords within your postings. You can produce great blog postings by following this simple tutorial.
