6 Ways to Better Blogging part 2

(continued from part 1)

Never Advertise Improperly
Too often people use blogs as a space to advertise their services or their products.
This can be a cheap way to get your work out there. It is noted however that blog
readers can get annoyed quickly at advertisements on blogs. If you must advertise on
your blog, consider doing so in a more subtle manner. Write a short post about your
product and put a link to your website. Don’t take up your entire blog space with the
advertisement. Although it may seem like a great idea, you will essentially be
scaring people away from your blog altogether.

Check Your Spelling
Although the tone of your blog should be kept casual, you should still edit your work.
There is a way to be casual, without being sloppy. You should always check your
spelling before you submit your post. If your posts are sloppy and full of misspelled
words, people will think that you are not educated and probably won’t take anything
you say seriously. Some blogging software comes will a spell check features, while
some doesn’t. If your blogging software does not come with any spell check feature,
simply create your post in a word processing software and use the spell check there.
Then cut and paste your edited work into the blogging software text area. This will
allow you to post without spelling errors, which is highly recommended.

Be Versatile
If you want to reach the largest amount of people, you do not need to advertise
endlessly. You simply must be versatile with your post topics. Those blogs that
cover only one type of thing may be popular with one specific targeted group of
people. That is fine, if it is what you want. If you want to reach everyone however,
you need to post on everything. Consider posting on current affairs, music, books,
and other hot issues. This will draw people in. When you post about popular things
in the news, it will draw people to your site when they do a search on the web.

Post Often
People who become fans of your blog will likely be looking for a new post every few
days. Some will only look once a week. If you want to keep your blog fresh and
interesting, you should post often. Posting often is something that takes very little
time, because your entries should stay short and sweet. It is a way however to keep
things new and exciting for your biggest fans. They will be waiting for your new
posts and will continue logging on as long as you provide them with new
information.
