how to write an interesting blog post

Do you hesitate to start a blog because you are not sure about your writing? Did you hate writing essays when you were in school?

Well, here's the good news. Writing in a blog has nothing to do with writing an essay for a class at school. You probably do not consider yourself a writer, but if you can write an email to a friend, then you can write in a blog.

About what blogging

The theme you choose for your blog depends on what you want to do with it. Do you want to write about your daily activities or your transfer to a new city or country - as a kind of diary?

Or do you want to share ideas with friends and / or strangers about a particular topic that you are passionate about? Then you are in the right mood for a blog.

If this is your intention, the subject does not really matter - it is very likely that you will find readers who want to read and share ideas on that topic as well. We must bear in mind that readers will not find your blog overnight, but persistence will pay off in the end.

How to write interesting publications

• Start your post with a question that leads to a story related to the content. Lists and facts are useful to illustrate a point, but the reader is more likely to remember a story that projects an emotion he has already experienced. That connection will prompt her to return in the future to read more articles.

• Once you have advanced with the post, focus on the reader. He will want to know how the information will affect him, whether it be about how to get over a divorce or how to make the best quilt.

• Use second person as much as possible in your writing. In other words, use "you" as much as possible and "I" as little as possible.

• Even when you are describing your own experience, try to avoid using the "I" as often as possible. For example, instead of saying '' I realized my mistake once I saw all the pieces settling in, '' you can write '' The solution became apparent to me as soon as all the pieces were accommodated. "

Avoid blocking the blogger

You can probably think of many ways to restart your brain, but here are some of our favorites.

1. Get up and go for a walk. If it's raining, at least change surroundings for a half hour or more. Do not limit yourself to working on something different in the computer.
2. Work on a puzzle or anything else that requires concentration.
3. Call a friend and talk about anything.
4. Make a list of ideas, without censoring yourself.
5. Read other blogs on the subject to get ideas.
6. Go to Facebook and ask people what they would like to know about your topic.

Conversational writing style

Remember that your blog should sound like you're writing or talking to a friend - do not write an essay for a writing class. Online readers like to browse instead of reading every word, and they do not want to feel like they are reading an academic treatise.

• Use short phrases and short paragraphs.
• Use subtitles so that the reader knows the subject of the section.
• Use bullets
• Use simple words.

Do not analyze too much

Let your text rest for a day or two, and then read it again. You can be surprised by how well it flows. If not, you can find the parts where it does not sound good, once you have left it for a while.

Make changes and then read aloud. When the text is read aloud, the places where a reader might stumble will become apparent.

Your blog post does not have to be a Pulitzer Prize winner. Do not check it again and again and again. Make the necessary changes and then click on 'publish' and start writing your next post.
