Education 2.0 & 3.0

A successful blog post follows specific rules. 

 

Rule #1: Catchy headline. Without it, you won't get far. Not many people will want to read past your title if you don't make it compelling. 

 

Rule #2: Visual content. There was a time when blogging without image was a common thing. Not anymore. Pictures, videos, and infographics help entice readers.

 

Rule #3: Short paragraphs. 75 words maximum. 

 

Michael Hyatt will tell you about all the other rules in a much better way than I ever will. 

 

I always try to share my personal experience. Why? Because readers connect with stories. The more honest and transparent I can be, the better. In fact, my most popular posts generally come out of some failure on my part.

There are many bloggers in your field. Don't waste your readers' time by being interchangeable. 

Be yourself.It's ok if you are a slow writer -- I am! Take the time to edit your content. Make it easy for people to understand you. Don't use bombastic words and phrases.Imagine yourself writing for your ideal writer. When I blog, I always picture a friend or a reader whom I know. It helps tremendously. More tips in this great post by Henneke Duistermaat.    http://www.copyblogger.com/common-blogging-mistakes/   ----------------   Cendrine Marrouat - www.socialmediaslant.com
