I’ve been reading a lot of entries lately, especially on the topic of how to write a good blog, or in another way to phrase it, how to be a good blogger.
I’ve decided to come out with my own list of how I will improve myself to be a better blogger.
1. Read a lot. Try to vary the type of writing – humour, serious, politic, advertisement, management related articles, gossips. You should notice that every kind of writing targets certain type of people. It would be great to have a versatile writing type which will attract varieties of readers to my blog.
2. Write something new. Even though the topic is not new or it has been a well-known topic to everyone else, try to see it from another point of view. Different perspective will lure people to continue reading even if the topic is too common at first glance.
3. Write something you believe in. Sometimes bloggers write for money, but for the sake of their own integrity, for me, it is better not to write the paid post on something that you have no absolute trust in even though it will pay you well. After all your words are your credentials.
4. Be honest with yourself. Write from the heart and a straight mind. If you are trying to write something that you know nothing about it in the first place, research about it even if it takes your precious time. There’s no point of writing something with the hope that your readers won’t realize how stupid and shallow you words may sound.
5. Check the grammar and spelling. Now you don’t need to have a thick dictionary to check how a word is supposed to be spelled correctly. You can even check the usage of the phrase and in a way check whether the grammar is grammatically correct.
I think that will do for now. I’m still struggling with no. 1. Hope my speed reading ability is still up to the par..hahaha..
