I love to read the helpful hints Chris Brogan writes about in his daily blog posts. I had a chance to meet Chris at Blog World 08 in Las Vegas – but alas my best friend Tawn got that chance instead. We were both in a very crowded room during the last session of the last day of this wonderful event.
I choose to keep standing against the wall… while she (being the selfish girl she is) (Kidding Tawn!) choose to schooch (our word for moving around a room while trying not to be noticed) her way over to a place where she could sit on the floor. Guess who she sat next to??? Yep, Chris Brogan.
This is how connections at these large events are sometimes made… LOL. I sooo missed out.
Anyway… I just had to share this idea filled article that Chris wrote about providing killer content (articles) for your blog.
He gives 40 tips and ideas! Yep… 40 – and they start out like this:
The Basics
- Brevity rules. Can you say it briefly?
- Start at the main point, then work the story up. (Make the main point in the first paragraph.)
- Use small words. You don’t have to impress people. You have to be clear.
- Analogies help people understand things better.
- So do stories.
- You don’t have to write complete sentences, even though your teacher taught you to do that. But treat it sparingly. Like this. Like a condiment.
Want to see all 40?
Well you have to send me $100 bucks via Snail Mail or Homing Pigeon (which ever you prefer) and in a few weeks I might get around sharing the link to his “Free for anyone to see” blog post.
Kidding again… when did I get to be such a “jokester”?
Here is the link to all his 40 tips
Easy Ways to Write Killer Content For Blogs
Plus he shares another great article – Advice About Blogging
Thanks Chris for all that you do!
