HOW TO MAKE BLOG

With the Internet so accessible today, everyone has an opinion and everyone feels the need to share that opinion with the world. One way people do that is to create their very own blog. Sure some blogs have points, topics and agendas. But most blogs are just little rants about frustrations we all share. Perhaps that's why they're so popular. To make yours stand out. It has to be fascinating. Here are a few tips on how to do that!
Step 1:
Pick a salacious topic. There are a million blogs on the Internet talking about a million things. How do you make yours fascinating? Come up with a topic that grabs headlines. When we sign onto our servers and see headlines on the front of AOL or Yahoo that say "eat chocolate, lose weight," we suddenly get interested. Blogs are no different. Pick a topic dealing with issues people want to read about. Sex is always stellar. "Drink milk, have better orgasms." Suddenly people will stop and start to read. Also beware of sharing your point of view on issues that everyone is already discussing. If the latest celebrity received a DUI over the weekend, everybody already has their feelings about that issue. Chances are it's on TV, talk radio, and the rest of the Internet. Therefore, writing about it in your blog will be kind of senseless since everyone else has already beaten the topic to death.

Step 2:
Be descriptive. What sets your blog apart from others and makes it absolutely fascinating is that you can describe your point of view, or describe the event you were at in vivid detail. Make the reader feel as if they were experiencing it. Truthfully blogs are an escape for the reader. It's a moment in their day when they are procrastinating and have stopped their day. Let them escape. "And then we went for coffee," is not as interesting as "And then we stopped at this insanely romantic cafe, with terribly cheesy waiters, with the most delicious French roast." You get the general idea.

Step 3:
Get to the point. Don't linger. Please, please, please don't linger. Since blogs are an escape for people as they procrastinate and peruse the Internet, don't drone on for page after page with every little detail. This may seem contradictory to the last note of being descriptive, but the trick on writing an absolutely fascinating blog is to get to the point. Assume each reader has two minutes. Literally. And truthfully if they like what they read, they'll be back. It's better to have someone two minutes a day than once for ten and have them never read your blog again.

Step 4:
Take an original stance. The best way to be fascinating when writing a blog is to be out of the gate original. This process actually has little to do with writing and a lot to do with thinking. Don't just "write to write." Think about what you want to say. Think about the themes, ideas, and issues that are important to you. Search your soul to find out where you stand. Be consistent with your point of view. Nothing is more frustrating than reading a blogger who changes like the direction of the wind. (That's not to say you can change your mind, just not every day.) By being original, you'll be the only blogger on the Internet just like you!
