Blogging Tips..

The content of your blog will depend largely on your purpose. If you’re just blogging for fun, to keep family apprised of all the happenings in your part of the world, or to share your interest or expertise in a particular topic, the posts will probably include stories, events, photos, and more.

If you are blogging to build your expertise in a particular area, you may want to include all the latest news stories on your area of interest.

If you are hoping to inspire others to join your nonprofit organization in serving others, you might include stories of those who have been helped by your organization in the past.

If you want to get the word out about your candidacy, share your passion for movies, or share your philosophy with the rest of the world, you may include links, stories, photos, resources, and engaging bits of information in the areas you want to highlight.

Here are some questions to consider as you plan the content for your blog:

• Who is your “typical reader”?   Getting a clear picture of that person—and that person’s expectations—can help you connect with your reader right from the start.
• What age is he or she?   Knowing the general demographics of your typical reader will be helpful. Chances are that, because blogging is a kind of “real voice” medium, you may connect most easily with those close to your own age level. But many people have a knack for speaking to everyone at once. Know the interests, energy level, and passions of the audience you are addressing.
• What is he or she most interested in?   Is your reader fascinated with technology, passionate about the environment, concerned about the political climate, or focusing on her newborn? Thinking about what your reader may be fascinated by right now will help you develop a sense for what others will find interesting on your blog.
• What do I want the person to do after reading my blog?   If you want the person to come back, subscribe to your newsletter, try your product, sign up for your mailing list, or write to their congressperson, be sure you say so directly somewhere in the body of your blog.
• Are there any limitations on your subject matter?   If you are writing a corporate blog, there may be definite guidelines for the type of content you can include. Additionally, you need to consider the fact that public blogs can be read by virtually everyone, which means you may have children as well as adults reading what you write (including your mother and grandmother!). Think through any limitations—and any ramifications of your posting—before you post.
