If you are thinking about starting to blog, I’m sure you are wondering how to write a good <\/em>blog.\u00a0 You don’t want to throw online just any old thing. Make a blog that you can be proud of.\u00a0 If your friends and family come to it, make sure they would impressed!<\/p>\n

So, how do you write a good blog?\u00a0 Let’s talk about some of the key points.<\/p>\n

Consistency<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is very important to post to your blog regularly and consistently.\u00a0 In other words, don’t post five times one week and then skip a few weeks before posting again.\u00a0 Your readers will not know when (or if) you’re going to post again, so they will probably just give up on it and go elsewhere.\u00a0 Don’t let that happen.<\/p>\n

Try to post at least once a week, a few times is better.\u00a0 Put a form on your blog to allow people to sign up for email updates, so that they know when you write a new post.<\/p>\n

Include Some of “You”<\/strong><\/p>\n

People find blogs interesting that show a little of who you are as a person.\u00a0 Yes, your blog may be all about business, but people want to get to know the person behind the business.\u00a0 Without getting too <\/em>personal, share some details of your life (with discretion) with your readers.\u00a0 It will help build trust as they get to know you and find out they relate to you in some way.<\/p>\n

Use Pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pictures add so much to a blog!\u00a0 Try to include one image in every post you write.\u00a0 You can either take the pictures yourself or get them online.\u00a0 There are some free sites that will allow you to use their images with just a link back to the artist.\u00a0 Others charge a small fee to buy and use the image.<\/p>\n

Make sure the images are relevant to the post.\u00a0 Don’t post pictures of your dog or kids when you are writing about internet marketing:-)<\/p>\n
