Writing Content for Blogs
By admin | November 25, 2008
Have you got a blog? Struggling to find and write content?Blog writing can become a bit of a chore and finding ideas for blog content can get more difficult the longer you have a blog.
I am no expert certainly but I have been looking at ways to get ideas for blogging generally as I am starting another unrelated blog and want to make sure that I have enough in me to keep going!
Article marketing or writing posts on blogs demands perserverance and commitment. I am sure that you will have heard the phrase ” content is King” and I think it is. The more I post and the more articles I write, the more traffic I get to this blog and the more people I get on my list. I cant lie and say that the numbers are overwhelming but they are increasing.
So what do you need to be thinking about?There are a lot of things that have come out of my research and I will be putting all of them into practice in my posts from now on.
Perhaps the most important thing to think about is what you are writing on your blog. One of the rules of marketing that I picked up is that you have to start with the customer, find out what they want and give it to them. Give them something unique and useful.
What is unique and useful is of course somewhat subjective but perhaps you could think about the following;
- Inform
- educate
- entertain
- inflame
- update
You probably cant do them all the time in every post but if you can keep some of those elements in then you may be giving good content. I try and inform and educate by giving information that I have gleaned over the last few months. Hopefully it is usually good content and I do try and inject some humour occasionally if only because I find it difficult to keep a straight face most of the time!
There are a huge number of blogs out there and it can be difficult to distinguish your own. Certainly I am trying to practice what I preach and write good content giving you some of what I have discovered in the last few months.
How do you find ideas for content then?
more on this in my next post
til then
