Easy Ways To Improve Your Blogging Techniques
It might seem apparent to readers of Blog Fabulous, that I am new to this form of communication, known as blogging.
I’ve learned quite a lot since I joined b5media.com, but I am such a neophyte compared to so many of my colleagues here.
To start and maintain a successful blog takes a ton of work. And also, some people seem to have a knack for it and some, well…not so much.
I can tell you that if you write about movie stars your traffic rates and Page Per Views will explode off the charts. (See don’t I know what I’m talking about?)
The title of Margaret Mason’s book annoyingly reminds me that I have such a loooong way to go.
No One Cares What You Had For Lunch offers imaginative ideas and tips about how to make one’s post more interesting and useful to readers. And I mean beyond your immediate family or your dog.
A couple of how-tos from the book:
- Write a serial novel
- Conduct unnecessary experiments
- Creating your autobiography
- Public eavesdropping
Public eavesdropping? You know you do it too.
If you write a blog or are thinking of starting one…I would check out Ms. Mason’s book. And who knows? You could end up being the next Perez Hilton.
As for me, I am NOT going to tell you about my Turkey On Triscuits (TOTs) that I had for lunch today.
I agree, Margaret Mason’s book is a must for those who are getting into blogging. I got my copy for christmas last year
Hi Julie,
I here it’s a fast and interesting read.
Good luck with our blog.
No one may care what we bloggers have for lunch but we all care deeply about what some of us are having for breakfast. Cast in point: http://beautyaddict.blogspot.com/2006/12/breakfast-of-champions.html
Had to be the beautyaddict!
Well, I haven’t read any books about blogging and I haven’t read too many articles about it either. I’m just writing about things that I think might interest people or ways that I save money. Maybe I should research this kind of stuff more.
Hi Guin,
Ohhh! We need to have an intervention with Beauty Addict…Coke for breakfast is bad, bad, bad…
Dr. Oz from the Oprah show, says we should be eating oatmeal everyday…makes us beautiful.
Karen,
You and ThriftyMommy.com are case-in-point that great, thoughtful content — make for a fabulous blog!
Speaking of Thrifty…I just bought a bunch of stuff from Hanes, cheap, cheap, cheap — and the most comfortable stuff I’ve ever bought. Me! designer label girl in Hanes!
Thanks for the compliment.
I love a great clearance sale!
I’ll have to learn some of your tricks…clothing sales are a big 0 for me…they never have my size.
