Blog posts about blogging abound on the internet, usually with titles like “5 Tips for Writing Blog Posts that Make $$$” or something. They pretty much all have the same advice, which I might summarize as follows:
- Update often.
- Optimize.
- Share among social media platforms.
- Have guest bloggers.
- Have compelling content. (This is my all-time favorite, for its shameless redundancy.)
I might as well add some advice of my own to the mix. My additions to this would be:
- Drink plenty of water.
- Try to write in the predominate language spoken in your market.
- Type with your fingers.
- Make sure the CO2 concentration in the environment in which you blog stays below 360 ppm.
- Do not allow ferrets to proofread your work.
