How to be a good Blogger

1. Make your opinion known
People like blogs, they like blogs because they are written by people and not corporations. People want to know what people think, crazy as it sounds they want to know what you think. Tell them exactly what you think using the least amount of words possible.


2. Write Less
Give the maximum amount of information with the least amount of words. Time is finite and people are infinitely busy. Blast your knowledge into the reader at the speed of sound.

3. 250 is enough
A long post is easier to forget and harder to get into. A short post is the opposite


4.Get Found Easily: Choose a blog name, and tagline that can let people in your niche find you easily through search engines. Use the most effective keywords for you blog and post titles.
5.Follow the Conversation: Read a bunch of blogs and add comments to them before you start your own and as you are writing your own. Try to establish a conversation with other peer leaders in your category. Use blog searching and ranking sites to find out what the most popular themes in your category are at the time and address those. This will also help you get story ideas.

6.Keep it Simple, Keep it Focused: Each post should contain just one idea or one set of links.
Demonstrate Passion: Post often, post about what you care about. Take a position on issues.
Demonstrate Authority: Blog about what you know. Be generous with what information you give out.
Allow Comments: A good blog is a conversation, not a one-way channel so let others make comments back to you.

7.Be Accessible: Make it easy for people to contact you through your blog either through an e-mail or phone number posting. This includes being honest and open with who you are. No lies or misleading.
8.Tell a Story: Tell your story – a compelling story helps entice people to read on. A personal story makes you seem more human. Even your set backs and defeats make you likeable.
9.Be Linky: By directing your readers to other sites, even competitors, you become their absolute best resource and they, in turn, will reward you with lots of inbound links. These links increase your search ranking and credibility online.
10.Be Personal

A good blogger should provide insight and a touch of their personal side while writing. The information offered should not be recycled, but fresh and informative (especially on a marketing blog).
Have a Personality

The blogger personality is a huge key when it comes to having your audience like you or hate you.
