May 29, 2013 Blogging Guide

Web logs or blogs are essentially personal online chronicles, published through sites designed for individuals to share their day to day experiences and, vent their own ideas and thoughts -which at times may be a mundane topic yet presented to give it a complete new angle to look from thereby absorbing readers directly into the subject, or a revolutionary idea which may be way beyond what the common man can ever think of. Authoring a blog and maintaining it by adding contents and updating frequently is what is called “blogging” and it is the “blogger” who shoulders up the responsibility of the blog.

With blogs being in trend in the present world, every now and then we end up running into one or other blogs- enticed either with their impressive taglines or image contents. But do all blogs succeed to keep their viewers spellbound to their blogs? Well, definitely no! Although strong titles and pictoral illustrations may draw viewers for few seconds,but what they look for ultimately is connected  with the blog content completely!So, we now take up 5 basic points that are of paramount importance to attract large no of visitors to a blog.

1. Blog only on your Passion

“If I am passionate about the topic,only then shall I take it up!” should be the mindset of the blogger. The blogger needs to identify himself and take up topics for which he “has been“ interested rather than topics for which he “might think” himself to be interested.Only when working on one’s passion,the blogger can actualize himself through the blog,thus keeping his viewers spellbound with his blog!

2. Be Yourself

Primarily one’s ideas define oneself and only someone brave vents his ideas in public. So only when the blogger speaks his ideas blatantly, without caring how radical it might sound to people around him, he gains the firm recognition of his viewers-the fact having been hard core truth always being  held superior to sugar coated lies.The blogger needs to be just brave enough to speak up to  be people’s hero!

3. Choose Tone to Suit Viewers

Blogger first of all needs to outline who his target audience is and for what reason they refer to his blog.Depending on those factors,blogger needs to frame the contents of his blog and, in appropriate tone and style to meet his viewer’s expectation.
