All about share

If you already know how to write a successful blog then you I don’t need to tell you how hard it can be if not then believe me when I say to you keeping your blog updated regularly isn’t easy. It’ll suck away your time like a 3 year old sucks an ice pop.

Before we move on to a few tips on how you can keep it up to date there is a pre requisite. You need to set a schedule on how often you’re going to post and you need to stick to it, it’ll be expected by your readers.

Now I know of a very successful blogger who completely goes against this but he’s an exception to the rule, he provides content far superior to most bloggers and states often that due to the nature of his posts it’s difficult to set a schedule.

So unless you’re intending on writing 3,000 plus word blog posts filled with pure content you need to set schedule. Your readers will expect it. When you move away from the normal routine and don’t post as often, you’ll lose readership.

If you start posting more often, your readership will take this as the norm and when you go back you’ll lose readers. So, I’ll say it again, stick to a schedule!

Now let’s get down to business. How to write a successful blog.

Finding The Time To Write.

Set yourself daily time to update your blog, or if you only update 3 time per week set specific days when you’re going to write your blog posts. If for some reason you know you can’t do it on that day do it earlier and put a time delay on your blog post to be released when it normally is.

Several of you have written asking me to share some of my ideas and tips about blogging, so here goes.

Observation leads me to believe many bloggers do not know a good sentence from a turnip. If I find myself rewriting someone else’s sentence instead of reading their blog, I quit reading.

Another observation I have made is many people who consider themselves writers do not know how to tell a story. Now, I am not talking about Mark Twain kinda’ storystelling, just the basics.

Writing is difficult-those who would have written “writing is hard”-just proved my point. The task is difficult; the object is hard-eighth grade English class.

If you want to write well, be prepared to work. One of my favorite sayings is “if I had more time I would have written less.”

My overriding rule to myself is not to be redundant. If all I am doing is writing about the same topic as others, or offering the same perspective, I am just wasting air. I go out of my way to be contrarian, and I do so for the same reason.

Just because Word or dictionary.com warns you that the word you just typed is not a word is irrelevant. If it helps tell the story, use it. Also, only people with small minds believe there is only one way to spell each word.

I write conversationally, and I do so purposefully. I find it helpful to use tools-analogies and allegories to tell a story, to set a stage, or to draw in the reader. I use other such devices, but I do not know the names of devices any more than I know participles.
