| Someone asked me the other day what is the difference between writing for blogs and writing letters. e-mails etc. Thinking about it for a bit, I came to the conclusion that there is little difference between the mechanics of writing a good blog article and other forms of writing. Also if you need some help with essay use this service:oh my essay.The following points immediately came to mind:
1.Use an attention grabbing headline;
2.Ensure your opening paragraph describes what you are writing about – the opening paragraph is what will make the reader decide whether to read on or not;
3.The main part should clearly meet the objectives established in the opening paragraph;
4.Make sure you have a logical flow to your thoughts, and reject any points that are unneccessary. Above all, reject anything that doesn’t relate to your objective(s);
5.On average, use short sentences, but vary their length to create interest;
6.Use bullet points for lists, they are easier to read than horizontal lists;
7.Follow the rules of punctuation;
8.Check spelling and that you have use the correct word – I often see ‘complimentary’ used when the author means ‘complementary’ and vice versa;
9.Make sure that you have used the verb form when you are describing an action – advise is the verb, advice the noun; practise is the verb, practce the noun etc.;
10.End the post with a summary and if appropriate, what you consider to be the next step;
11.Try to end on a positive note
12.Most Important of all, never, never, never be boring!
What are your top tips? Have I left anything out that applies to blogs that doesn’t apply to letter writing?
