			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Using the word vampire here might sound like some comedy going on in TV channels, people relate different words to different things but overall what they are trying to portray remains the same, when we talk about Vampire, it literally means a nasty parasite or a mosquito – the one which is trouble some and pinches you. Talking in general terms, when we don’t like somebody we name him as a vampire, for employees the manager is a vampire for school children teachers might be vampires and so on, there are so many games released with the word vampire, so the word itself gives someone a impression that something is dangerous or may be harmful and gives them the idea to avoid it.</p>
<p>Coming to our main discussion for today, whether vampire sort of words should be used for blogging or no? Looking at my experience for the past 5 years or so, I had advised you not to use as it will drive away your audience rather than attractive or getting traffic to your website. Blogging is a world where you can express your own self and vent out your anger on someone, although blogging is not clearly a tool to throw some anger on someone you can quietly and simply get forward the point you strongly feel about whether its good or bad and that is the main reason why people have blogging lessons, where they learn how to blog, as we know blogging is huge industry and looking the growth of today’s internet users its surely going to be in demand for the next centuries to come and people will still be making good <a href="http://www.bloggingwithchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/web-content-writing.jpg" rel="lightbox[1644]"><br />
</a></p>
<div style="float:right; padding:3px;"><a href="http://www.bloggingwithchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/web-content-writing.jpg" rel="lightbox[1644]"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1645" style="padding:3px;" title="web content writing" src="http://www.bloggingwithchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/web-content-writing.jpg" alt="web content writing" width="284" height="423" /></a></div>
<p>money from blogging. Have you ever written some essay, I am sure almost everyone has had this experience in life of writing essay in schools or colleges, did you ever use any kind of rude words or offensive words against someone in an essay, obviously not, some of you might say but directly or indirectly may be not in essays somewhere we tend to use such words which will create a bad impression and there comes downfall of your business empire.</p>
<p>Blogging world invites the people only with a sweet tongue, no matter how much ever you speak wrong of someone, you ought to speak in a particular manner so as to not offend someone, while many bloggers I have met argued as to why they shouldn’t speak out, when its their blog? I would agree to this to the half a extent, you may vent out your anger, use rude words for someone, but its going to do no good to you in future or when you feel you have made some good long lasting relationship with some client or a customer, suddenly the past springs up and you were not waiting for this day after all! Its better to pretend good to someone rather than losing out to him forever and especially when it comes to your blogging business, you ought to be very attentive of the words you use, the type of language you use and the tone at which you speak.</p>
<p>The silent world of blogging can create great uproars as we know the true saying, “Action Speaks Louder than Words”, you shouldn’t speak bad by uttering, show it in action and the rest would follow automatically. Creating examples is no tough job, you can set your examples today by being an idle and with blogging, I would request you all to avoid making use of words which will create parasites, so many parasites that you may get entangles and then it might become difficult for you to come out of that web.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This question might take some of you by surprise, no body is born with razor sharp tongues, its you who can built up your shooting skills over the years and mind you, many a times it happens so by the experience an individual gets in his/her lifetime. As the saying goes, “Action speaks louder than words” but not always, you have to use your tongue if a person cannot see you, did I get that correction right? Well, talking about razor sharp tongue isn’t literally meaning the sharp tongues to tear upon something. Use tactful words that will indeed make a difference to a situation.</p>
<p>Some people pin this as using swords for writing sharp words, they are not actually using swords or knife but yes, make it feel as if it was a real sword while written. Writing is an art, we are well aware about it so when the writer is writing something there are 2 objectives which gets to be fulfilled one is crafting their message right across to the audience and the other is putting across the things which actually doesn’t consist in their message. I have been attending many a workshop that has helped me a lot and it is especially beneficial for the people in the field of journalism, <a title="8 SEO Blogging Tips" href="http://www.bloggingwithchris.com/8-seo-blogging-tips/">blogging</a>, editing, etc. the best of written words comes very much from inside its an idea of self expression and once you are done with expressing yourself, you can use sharp words as knife to cut through people’s mind and heart that will make them aware of the reality, the actual thing that you wanted to portray, may be indirectly. It’s a innate ability of an individual which helps to let him put across his message and its often natural for them to fall in love with their words and sometimes its not possible for them to speak out sword like words, so here I present to you some of the tips which will help you cut out on emotional quotient and move ahead!</p>
<ul>
<li style="padding-bottom:15px;"><strong>Stick to your content</strong> -  when you have decided upon writing something for the audience, be open and let them know exactly what your feelings are. Your whole content should revolve round one focused topic that will let neither you or your audience deter from reading it ahead. If you have something that you only have slight idea about its better you don’t use it anyway.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom:15px;"><strong>Cut out on first few words</strong> – its often the habit especially with the young writers who have just headed out or for novelists, who start their content with some background idea of what the content is all about. Its only an idea at first and once they get the grip of the audience than the actual words comes in. so my advice to you is to cut down on those starting words or paragraphs and come to the direct stuff you would like to discuss and see how things change.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1469" title="how to improve writing skills" src="http://www.bloggingwithchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/how-to-improve-writing-skills.jpg" alt="how to improve writing skills" width="511" height="446" /></p>
<ul>
<li style="padding-bottom:15px;">Spicing up you words can be too harmful sometimes, people may get overly anxious about what is going to come next and if your content doesn’t meet their expectations than you are surely going to loose out on your audience, so the best is to make your point clear in a clear language.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom:15px;"><strong>Don’t use Creep</strong>-in words that will make your text look dull, you can find it out on your own, just go through some of your text copies which you have written and after reading them you will get a little annoyed somewhere or the other there it is, and you will see you have done the same type of mess even I other copies. So find your own such creep in words and avoid the annoyance of your audience.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom:15px;">Avoid exaggerations in your text, even if you are trying to convey to them how something was seriously beautiful, they wont get the exact picture of what you are saying and some people might not understand it altogether, so its best to write a simple word of your experience.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1467" title="developing writer skills" src="http://www.bloggingwithchris.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/developing-writer-skills-1024x682.jpg" alt="developing writer skills" width="509" height="339" /></p>
<ul>
<li style="padding-bottom:15px;">Don’t gobble over words, find out the precise, accurate and the best word that is suited to define a particular situation or an object. When you hit the perfect set of words in your text, can you have the ability to strike that perfect chord which will portray your message across.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom:15px;">Don’t let go off the cut text, you must have often seen how the left out food is utilized to make some other variety of served to the poor, the same thing applies here too. The best of novelists or writers will never let go off the single thing they write, if they had to cut a portion of the novel they are <a title="Earn Money By Writing Review Blog Posts" href="http://www.bloggingwithchris.com/earn-money-by-writing-review-blog-posts/">writing</a>, they will make a point to use that part of text in some other writings.</li>
</ul>
<p>Sometimes, it gets really difficult to get your audience’s attention to the thing you actually want to speak out, so the best solution is to follow the steps I have given, this way you will become more bolder and smarter. Have a go-getter attitude and get your points across to the people and remember to carry that knife in your words always.</p>
