3 Tips for Writing Better Blog Content

Okay, I want to especially thank Justin, an Apache engineer, for helping me out with some backlinks tracking issues.  It pays to have contacts in blogging!

Here are my 3 tips for better content:

1) Don’t create blog topics, Be open and let them come to you.  Carry a yellow pad on a clipboard and/or an mp3 voice recorder with you.  A lot of the new cell phones now have that function. (I have the new Walkman phone and it does).

2) Keep your sentences and posts as short as possible.  Make this question your mantra: “Is there a better way to say the same thing only shorter?”  With that in your system of composition, you cannot go wrong.

-and-

3) Write whenever you have an idea even if that means multiple posts per day.  You have some options here.  You can future-time-stamp posts through the Wordpress admin or you can just publish them.  Put no limitations on your urges to blog, especially at the beginning.  When you start getting text-link work or recent Sponsored posts you will be glad you have so many posts to insert them in and place in between.  I could explain what exactly I mean by that but it would take another post.

As I close, I want to scoop out some link love to 3 new bloggers who have taken my advice as they started their self-hosted blogs.  Thanks you guys!  I appreciate you listening to my advice.  Believe it or not, some have not taken it:

    It looks like I’m going to have to change some links! For the life of me, I can’t figure out what it is about Wordpress that bothers me. I had my site, kept playing with the template, etc., but it just never felt….maybe comfortable is the word.

    I still have all the stuff and maybe one day I’ll hit the jackpot as to what I’m looking for with that..

    Ah forget about it until you get the spark. If it frustrates you … who wants that?
