Part 2: Blog Brainstorming
Ok so the rules for blog content are….there are no rules and there are no limitations to what you can write, obviously you dot want to go insulting people or writing bad things about people or organizations coz that will just lead to bad press and bad remarks for your blog, or you may even get it shut down in serious cases…
Now there are differences in a profitable blog and a non-profitable blog. Ok so I want you to think back to the days of school and university…ok come back it`s not that long ago… 
Your professor wasn’t exactly the most exciting person was he or she…unless you had Miss….um ok sorry I`m back…the point I`m trying to make is you would rather read something from your best novel/favourite author than the boring professor right? Well for most of us anyway…
Most people that will come and read your blog would like to read “soft” or “light” stuff. They are looking for info that can be easily obtained and easily absorbed not like the professors notes…Try be personal in your blogs to keep people coming back, use your humour on some if it`s justifiable, everyone loves t smile and laugh. Another thing you could use is free gifts, now I don’t always advise this but I don’t see anything wrong with giving your readers something for taking the trouble to reading your blog.
Make your blog personal as if it’s a one on one…don’t write it like you would a speech…you don’t want your visitors to think your of a higher authority but more of a personal friend.
Fresh topics need to be spoken about regularly to keep your readership high so spice things up. The very first option that I think a blogger should write on is a topic that he or she feels passionate and interested in. You’ve chosen to make blogging your career because you want to escape a mundane job – forcing yourself to write about something that you’re not interested in is as torturous as your mundane job! Not only will the topic keep you motivated to right your feelings and emotions will shine through. If you feel indifferent to a certain subject but still write about it just for the sake of it, your readers will notice it, just remember that.
Now the first few weeks will be testing but once you get into the swing of things and once you keep writing, more ideas will come flowing into your head and you blog will transform tremendously. What you can do is see what other bloggers are writing about and have conversations with them and or get ideas, now it`s not a good idea to copy and this can cause a lot of friction and not the good kind I tell you. You can find other bloggers here…www.technorati.com and www.blogsearch.google.com
Another way to get good content for your blogs is www.youtube.com … www.skynews.com … www.espn.com it`s all about what you are gonna be writing about. There are endless ideas out there.
A blog I visit quite regularly is www.pharside.co.uk it features this man…
And no he is not the messiah … its Marky Mark the blogger and ultra cool guy from www.pharside.co.uk , he has various types of content on his blog that keeps people coming back…. Not to mention the free gifts I spoke about…not that I’ve actually won or got anything… still a very good example!!!
Join forums to get to know more people, without even telling them about your blog the general curiosity on mankind will get them “checking you out” and soon they will ( after all my advice ) be hooked on your blog!!!
Remember to keep up your momentum of posting at least once per day (or more if you have a lot of content to write about) so that the major search engines will know that your blog has fresh content every day. This will attract the search engines to spider your page on a more frequent basis, hence gaining you extra traffic.
So go…run …get away and make me proud get those blogs going…
P.S send me the permalinks so I can read and comment on them…
