26 Feb 10 Blog with a Friendly Face – Part 9

A blog is considered a friend not only because it shares information with us, but because it shares it in a way that touches us personally. Like a friend, a good blog entertains us while telling us things that matter. It also cares for what we think and how we want it to behave with us. This is the theme for today’s post. Let’s begin exploring it.

Consistency is the key

Be consistent with what you write and what you support. Very few people can stand talking to a person who keeps on hopping from here to there, saying this and that, supporting him as well as him, and you will not like those very few people be part of your audience. Be consistence. Be true to your core, and say only what you mean.

Be the beacon and guide people

Do not hesitate in sharing your expertise with your audience. Share with them the knowledge you have acquired on the way to reaching here. They are going to like it. Write insightful posts, share things that matters to all. Be prolific. Write with grit. Write with gusto. Write for fun, and write to teach.

Picture gives the cue

Why a novel has a cover image or a blog post has a theme picture? Well to explain what the post is all about. Do not just use any picture, use the one that goes with the message you want to convey in the blog post. This will help you build rapport with your audience.

As they say it, picture speaks a thousand words.

I hope you have started to give shape to your blog in the light of what is being taught here. Share your link here, let’s see what you got. Waiting to hear from you.
