Prompt Proofing Blog Post: Writing Tips: How to Write an Effective Blog

    VANCOUVER, BC, November 16, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- We all know that a blog is essential for content marketing and SEO, yet some people are terrified at the idea and many more are unsure just where to start.

Remember that blog stands for web log - in other words, a diary or journal. Just as you would with a journal, you should write your blog from a personal perspective. Blog posts, by nature, are informal in tone; write as if you were talking to a friend, or at least chatting to a prospective client. You should write about topics you are passionate and knowledgeable about. Your passion will shine through your writing, allowing readers to warm to your personality, trust you and want to do business with you. Writing on subjects you are knowledgeable about means that your content is informative and can help establish you as an expert in your field.

Writing blog posts does not have to become an ordeal, ideally a blog post should be no more than 300-400 words and can often be less - quality rather than quantity is the aim when it comes to the length of your blog posts. Proofread your writing carefully before publishing it for the world to see - don't mistake 'informal' for 'sloppy and careless'! Consider a theme, linking several topics over a period of time.

Spend time once a week, or once a month, and write up a few posts on topics that are current and relevant - you will have a successful blog in no time.
