However, what I have been coming
across since my blogging journey started is, every single person, having
an account on Google, creates a blogspot.com blog and calls him a
blogger. There are certain ethics that are compulsory to follow when you
are addressing readers from all around the world on your blog. It’s a
fact that none of us can be a perfect writer, but what we can do to
improve our level of writing is-to try; Try to meet up the basic
requirements of a standard, well-written article.
Here
are easy 10 tips that you will surely find useful in earning much more
credibility for your content, from your readers. There is no
technicality in these tips and are related to common linguistic,
grammatical and silly mistakes.
1. Make your point clearer to yourself first!
This
lacks most of the time when you read a difficult, out of interest post
on big sites and feel like sharing it on your blog too. For example,
imagine the disaster I would create if I plan to write on Typhoid
Vaccine, being a Computer Engineer. What happens is, sometimes the post
we are targeting to, is totally out of our own niche. It is always a
good practice to first understand the entire story yourself before you
start writing about it. If you find one link difficult, explore more
about it, you will get a place where things will be simpler to
understand. Once you know what you have to write about, you will
experience an internal command which will reflect your post externally.
When
you have something to share with others then you must start with
reading the matter, making notes and choosing your subjects wisely.
2. Right to-the-point
Bloggers,
who know the importance of an ideal word count, suffer here the most.
It’s true that your post’s length contributes a lot in Google search
business, however, what good it would bring you if your potential reader
is brought to your blog by search engines and he finds your post like a
puzzle and straight away switches over to some other blog? See, Your
readers want you to share the information as specifically as possible.
Do not elaborate more than it’s actually required.
Your writing must be specific. You must write specific sentences as this will makes your writing more interesting.
3. Be Simple rather than being difficult
Your
blog is equally visited by people with good vocabulary as well as
people who do not have a command on strong vocabulary. Its evident that
your readers are in no mood to consult dictionary always while reading
your posts. Use simple words that can easily be read, pronounced and
understood by your readers.
4. Work on Sentence building
Write
short sentences, this lowers the chance of forgetting the grammar;
secondly, your reader stays connected with your post in that way.
5. Difference between Active Passive Voice
I
expect you to remember that these were the things taught to you in your
secondary school. Utilize your knowledge to produce sentences in an
active voice. For example, build sentences like, “I Write for Smart
earning methods” rather than the passive voice, such as, “the posts on
Smart earning methods are written by me.”
6. Adopt Short Para-technique
Keep
your paragraphs short, this keeps the reader engaged in your content
without making him bored. You need to understand that you are not
writing a comprehenshion or a story, your post is read as an article.
Avoid writing too long paragraphs and give reasons in points rather than
stating all of them in a paragraph.
7. Choose Powerful words
Using
words like very small, too large, etc. leaves an immature sense in your
posts. Always use decisive words like Tiny, Great, Huge, etc.
8. Speak Only for Things you know
I
have witnessed pride in many bloggers, who often show that in their
posts; giving readers an impression that it is their blog and they can
write anything they wish to. However, This makes them suffer the most.
Always talk about things you are sure about so that readers start
believing you and thus, become your regular readers.
9. Do Not Repeat
It
happens sometimes that either to increase the word count or to give
emphasis to a particular reason, bloggers often keep on revolving on a
same point. It leaves a negative impression on readers, try not to
repetitive in your posts. Keep them fresh.
10. Avoid Over writing
Once
you follow the above stated nine points, you will see that there will
be no need to point 10 to be implemented. Over writing your posts leaves
an impression about you that you are a confused writer, who is not a
man of his words. People slowly notice it and unfollow your blog.
That was all for now, hope these quick, yet effectives work out for you in giving you a professional touch as a blogger!
All the Best,
