I must admit that I knew about this book. Only that I never got round to reading it. Considering that I was spending so much time on my previous blogs, I finally yanked it from a friend and no regrets.
Inside are heaps of info and the style is easy and friendly. I will quickly and briefly mention some.
1. What to blog if you want readership
The authors teach that it is better to be a niche writer ie write on focused topics. The Technorati top 100 are mostly niche blogs. For you and me, it goes that we would do better than try to cramp all we would like to blog about into one single blog.
If you are one of those who have so much to write then it is better to do so on multiple blogs with each catering to a particular subject of interest. This means that if you blog on golf and football, then have two blogs, one on golf and the other on football.
2. Blog on what you have Passion for
This has to be true. If you blog on something which you have no interest, then what are you going to do 3 months from now?
I think you believe this. There have been times when I cross a blog and find that it contains a few posts and that’s it. Likely the writer ran out of stuff to write. The fire died.
3. The blog has to be Unique and Useful
The blog you are embarking on should have something to offer otherwise those who stumble on your blog will go elsewhere.
Then again, what is unique need not necessarily be useful. Useless stuff are what they are and readers will not visit your blog again.
This book also contains lots of useful links we could research. There are many more useful tips, too much for me to mention here.
If you cannot lazy to find it in your regular bookshop (which is unlikely) you can click on this image (pardon the fuzzy image)which would take you to amazon.com or you can go there direct.
