Add Some Body To Your Posts

With the tens of thousands of blogs on the Internet these days, there is always something to read about. Every day, another blog hits the net looking to get in on the “make money” train. Now, mind you, not all of these blogs claim to be experts in the field, they’re just looking for their place in the cyber world.

With that, I’ve noticed that a few of these blogs are just placing any old thing on their sites in order to pack on the content. Some of them simply run the RSS feed from other blogs onto theirs, and in my opinion, this is just wrong. But, that’s my opinion.

Then there are those that bang out a few words in order to say that they’ve written a post. There is no substance to the post. No real information. I don’t mind reading a post that is trying to sell me something, but at least take the time to really tell me about the product you’re selling.

If you’re going to take the time to write a post, give it some body. Give it some personality so that it stands out and catches my attention. Don’t just say, “hey, I thought this CD was cool, so buy it from my site”. Tell me about the CD. Who’s on it, how long has it been out, why should I put out my money for it?

If you’re posts are boring, you won’t be keeping your readers around for long. However, if you’re posts are vibrant and lively, you’ll have readers coming back time after time. It’s all in how you word your articles. You don’t have to talk down to your readers, but don’t bang out robotic articles that sound pretty much the same.

If you add a little pizzazz to your posts, you’ll bring in more readers. And if you’re trying to sell something, more readers mean a bigger potential for buyers. The difference between a good post and a great post is all in how you word it.

  1. Christine, I couldn’t have said it better myself. Awesome job on this post. It’s almost like a rant post, but is done with class… and most importantly, you provide solutions on how people can improve.

    It’s one thing to rant and complain about things, but it is another thing to bring an issue to the table and provide tips and solutions on how one can improve their writing. Nice work..

    I’ll be submitting this post into Digg and StumbleUpon and also making an announcement on my Twitter account. The more people that read this, the better the blogosphere will be. :)

  2. So very true, your site is packed with useful informations, wow, I am going to be back for more. English is not my first language but I am crazy enough to try to write something on it. Thanks for all this meaningful and tremendous content.

  3. Well, thanks Garry.

    It just seems that a lot of bloggers are adding tons of content to their blogs, but not a lot of information.

    Thanks for all the submits. I appreciate it. :)
