6 Ways to Better Blogging part 1

Blogging can be an extremely interesting hobby to have. A blog, which has been
defined as an online journal, is a place where someone can post exactly what’s on
their mind. While some bloggers could care less if their posts are read, others
actively try to gain more readers. Some advertisers are offering money for blogs that
get high traffic amounts, so learning to blog better can be an important task. If you
are interesting in learning more about better blogging, check out these six helpful
tips.

Use a Casual Tone
The most interesting blogs are not written using formal grammar rules. Frankly, the
formal tone can be a little boring and web surfers don’t want to read through a bunch
of “hoity-toity” text. If you want your blog to be popular and a success overall,
consider writing in a more casual tone. Think of the writing as being a conversation
you are having with a friend. Write exactly the way you would talk, not the way you
are supposed to talk. Using slang and other words that may not be considered
“proper” is a great way for your blog to reach a wide variety of viewers. Using
humor and other personality characteristics in your writing will make people want to
keep coming back to read your newest entries.

Don’t Overdo It
Keeping your blog short will help you retain any interested viewers. People don’t
want to spend massive amounts of time reading text on the web. If they wanted to
read a novel, they would do just that. Try to stick to your point and keep it nice and
short. A blog that is more than 500 or 700 words is just too much. If you need to
carry on with the topic, consider creating another post that finishes your point.
Although this is basically creating one long blog, the break in the text will be
welcoming and readers will be less likely to get bored.
