Clarity of Thought:

You can only teach and explain your readers if you are yourself clear of what you are explaining. That is the main principle before you start teaching. If you don’t have full knowledge and know how of what you are teaching there is no use of explaining it because it is useless.

You have to master on your topic which you are explaining on only then you can achieve perfection in your teaching.
Once you have hold on this the second step is communication ie. how you can converse it with the readers.

Use of Examples and General Concepts:

One of my buddy analyzed that readers actually like to be told what they should be doing. This is an effective way of writing an article. Use of general concepts that we use in our day to life with specific and well explained examples not only make your article interesting but also help the readers to understand what you are trying to convey them. These are the keys of communication with the audience.

Use  of illustrations:

Using illustrations here mean use of hand made diagrams. This is the best way to explain your article to your readers. Use of diagrams make the thought more clear and bring in the clarity of thought of what you are trying to convey in your writings. Use of illustrations is something which most blogs don’t make use of but this is the most important step if you want to make your blog attractive. People will admire your work and amount of effort you are showing on your blog.

Be like a Web Writer:

You should learn how to write like a web writer. Web writer is a person who writes article and publish it on the internet. You can write like a web writer if you know what people are looking for. To make it easy for you try reading Jakob Nielsen’s web site where you will find guidelines on how to write an effective writing.

Stop acting like a Link Snob:

Bloggers are mostly afraid of sharing links with other blogs reason being they think that this will lead to less traffic on their site which is absolutely bogus. Sharing links increase traffic only if your content is worth reading and is systematically presented.

Your main agenda should be making your point clear so that the audience could understand you.

When one is writing a novel, blog or any article matter there are certain rules that has to be followed. These rules if followed will make your blog attractive and worth reading which means inspiring people to visit your blog regularly.

1. Go through what you have written:

It is necessary and most important to revise the content that you have elaborated. No article or writing is perfect on the first go. It’s a well known fact which even the most experienced writers follow. Revising does not mean correcting your article, it means what more you can add or make amendments and changes to make it more exclusive and innovative. While revising you should check that if you could amend it in fewer words because no one likes to read lengthy articles. The first impression of audience of seeing a lengthy article is that it’s going to be borring and they probably skip the blog. Other thing to be kept in mind is that it should be explanatory enough and that too in understandable language. You should also keep this in mind that how can you make your article effective. You can make your article effective by kicking in some examples, this will help the reader in understanding things better.

2. Proofreading:

It’s checking of spelling or grammar mistakes which one make while writing an article. Thou its not simple but not difficult too. The articles which are first written always contain some or the other mistakes which are need to be corrected before posting it in your blog. If you post it without reading it and then finding mistakes and correcting it again and again is not going to prove beneficial to you, As this practice gives a bad impression and also sites loose their efficiency because of which your site experiences less traffic. Less traffic means big loss, your ability and credibility comes at stakes.

3. Presentation of An Article:

Article should be well elaborated containing the beginning, middle and the end. Your writing should have an attractful beginning in such a way that it should hold the reader. If your beginning is effective only then your article will set a good impression on you readers. The middle body of an article should contain an effective information, facts or anything interesting so that the reader does not find your article boring and last is the end of an article. The end should be such that a reader sets in a best impression so that your readers opt for your site first. End of an article should have conclusions in it. All this give your article a best presentation and kicks in more traffic.

4. Changes are necessary:

Sometimes making amendments and changes are necessary as events keep on happening and the world keeps on changing. You should not restrict your self on making changes as this is a process which is need to be followed. You should not feel disgusted in changing your content because every change makes your article effective then before.

5. Revise:

Revision is must. I am stressing on revision again as this is the main rule to be followed. You have to revise again and again till your article achieves perfection. This is the key to attract your readers.

Blogging have always been a part of my curriculum not because its a duty for me but its something which i am very passionate about. Blogging is something through which you can share your views with the audience and converse with them on the same. Before i personally started blogging i went through various upcomming blogs on how to write them and what will be that key factor through which i could make my blog attractive. If you read the blogs you will find that most blogs have bogus content which is mostly uneccessary to read, wasting much of our precious time. As I am learning side by side I thought why not i share those things with all of you which i have learnt and still learning on my journey on writting blogs.

1. Put a lock on showing your smartness:

First thing is that stop being smart because your smartness won’t be of any use to the readers, infact its going to make their job tougher than ever. Using slang, or funky language with words which are rare and hardly used while we are conversing in our day to day life makes your blog difficult for the readers to understand as a result they are going to run away and probably opt for another blog. If you want to use the big words use it on a specific content writing rather then blogging because blogging is meant for simple and easier conversation with the audience. They are going to love your blog if you would write it in a rather simple but yet elegant way and that you can do by systematical approach on people’s views. It’s also going to relieve much of your burden and plus its going to make your blog attractive enough to be read.

2. Be free to fire your views in your writting:

You have to be free enough to write your personal views on your blog as it will help the readers to swallow the things better. Using quotations and saying of great authors or any phrase will help your blog prosper because thou you are using simple language but the use of quotations will enter the elegant and profound words which will make your writing interesting and fascinating. You have to learn to fire you views in your writing.

3. Be merciless while editing:

One thing which i have noticed while reading blogs that even the best elaborated blogs writing with full of spectaculating ideas do not have a good aproach of people, reason being most of the writing is filled with too much of explanations which is not needed. Like this you are wasting your readers time who will not prefer reading you blogs again and will probably run way to the other. The informations should be to the point and for that be merciless while cutting down the extra content that you have stuffed in.

4. Make use of Doing Verbs:

Avoid using the helping verbs in your writings like is, was, were, instead make use of mighty verbs.This is the landmark of best writings ever written. Helping verbs should be used with the Mighty verbs when needed. The benefit of it is that its going to make your blog worth reading and interesting that people will love to read it rather than just flipping of the content.

5. Read the Blog before posting:

There is a very good technique to check what you have written is by reading your writing aloud. Its going to help you in making your views clear thou you will find it strange but it is something which is must. If you find that you are not able to make your points clear to yourself than you have written something which your readers will struggle through to understand. Such writing is as good as a trash. Make your views explanatory and less bothering for your readers. Learn to write the specific points neccessary in making your views clear.

6. Makes your self easy going:

Many of you would have read of using killer headlines in your blogs as it attracts the readers but its of no use if your content is not worth reading. Using such headlines will get the click but more important is the writting you have posted in your blog. Readers will possibly come back to your blog if your content is rich, elaborate and understandable enough for the audience. Be easy on writing headlines of a blog and give more stress on simple and decent writings.
