What you should know about writing a Blog post.

Well the first thing you should understand is that there is no one-way to write a blog. Like writers, bloggers each have a unique still and voice they bring to a blog and each have a different format to how they write their post. To get an idea of some different styles of blogs, I suggest you check out the following:

1. Mitch Joel
2. Seth Godin
3. Bernedette Jiwa

Each of these very successful bloggers use a different approach and style to blogging.

So, your probably wondering “well, where do I start”? As I said there is no right or wrong way to go about it but here are some key things to consider when writing your own blog.

• Make sure your posts title is something that is going to grab people’s attention. The post title is the first thing potential readers are going see and if they don’t find it interesting they are not going to read it. 
• Make sure your fist sentence really hooks the reader. Having a good title means nothing if you cant get them to read past the first line. Make it interesting. Make them want to read more. 
• Your second paragraph is when you want to start answering the question you raised in the beginning. You want to start giving you readers the details that they are looking for. Tell your readers why you made your statement and the information you have to back it up. You want to make sure your satisfying their curiosity to keep them interested.
• Create a list of your key point. People like list because they standout and they can easily see the points you want them to take away from your post. A list helps readers easily see what it is you are trying to say/prove in your post and bring emphasis to important points. 
• Try to find a picture or video that supports or relates to the content of your post. The addition of a visual element adds personality to your blog. 
• Make sure that you are encouraging interaction with your readers. Close your blog with a question. This invites and encourages people to comment on your blog and answer your question. And always make sure to respond to all your comments so as to help build a dialogue between you and your readers. 

Hopefully these tips help you in your own blogging adventures. Thank you all for reading. On that note I leave with a question. Are there any other suggestions you have for writing a good blog? Please post below if you have any.
