Blogging 101: My 4 Rules of Blogging


1.    
             1 Share what inspires you

Discussing issues that matter most to you will not only make blogging exciting for you, it will connect you to people who are inspired by the same topics.

2.    2.  Share through Search Engines, Twitter and Facebook

Some people ask, “Why utilize different social networks such as Twitter & Facebook?” Twitter and Facebook are social networking tools that have different audiences. A good way to explain the difference is this: Facebook is a network for people you already know and Twitter is a network of people you want to know better. In my experience, most blog traffic typically comes from Twitter.

3.     3. People Like Hot Topics

Each time I look at which article gets the most hits, it’s always hot topic blogs. However, be very careful of emotionally charged statements, because a very wide variety of people who think differently will read it. Therefore, keep it respectful. 

4.     4. Be Concise over Complete

If you are anything like me, you look how long the blog is before you read it. People want you to communicate efficiently so don’t use long, verbose paragraphs.  It’s ok to end without answering all the tension you create in your blog.
