10 Blogging Tips

 

 

  1.  Keep it short! You want people to read the whole thing.
  2. Write like you talk!  The more approachable your writing is, the more people will enjoy it.
  3. Show your personality! Some people like to crack jokes, some like to make pop culture references, and others have a way with vivid descriptions.
  4. Write on a narrow topic!  Do not make your topic too broad because it will need too much information.
  5. Use data as evidence!  When you are making an argument and claims, root it in data and research.
  6. Do not plagiarize!   Do not think you can get away with copy-and-paste.
  7. Learn how to cite others! It’s essential to recognize your source of information.
  8. Don’t think you’re done once your writing is done! Most times our first drafts aren’t that good.  It still needs editing, and maybe a lot of it.
  9. Take 5 minutes to edit your piece! Everyone needs to edit their writing, even the most experienced writers.
  10. Don’t try to make your post perfect! There will always be more things you can do to make your posts better. More images. Better phrasing. Wittier jokes. The best writers I know, know when to stop obsessing and just hit “publish.”
