Tips for Blogging

Now coming from someone who has written just two blogposts here, it may sound funny. But this is not from me. Like other two posts, this is also pointers to an article linked here.

6 Secrets to Writing a Powerful Blog Post

The article quotes PD James saying “Don’t just plan to write—write. It is only by writing, not dreaming about it, that we develop our own style.”

First tip is on using engaging graphics. Article gives data to support the fact. Pinterest is given as an example of linking graphics effectively.

Second tip is on using a clean design and layout. Example is given of Born Creative,”  design company by Jennifer and Jason Bourn.

Third tip is on having a unique voice. Example is given of Marie Forleo who says, “create a brand you can smell from miles away.” 

Fourth tip is on connecting with social media, for reach, credibility and authority. Triberr is one place suggested in the article for this.

Fifth tip is on using a call to action. Ask views, refer to another link etc.

Sixth tip is to go against the grain. Be frank and forthright. Article gives the example of Mark Manson, the author of “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”
