Passionate Blogging

Right now, writing a blog post seems pretty scary because I have never done it before. But through time and practice, it will get easier for all of us. In an article that I read, Five tips to write a blog post people will actually read, it gives 5 tips for a good blog. The 5 tips are as follows: know your audience, find your writing style, choose a topic that interests you, write a great intro, and pick a catchy title. I feel like choosing a topic that interests you and a catchy title are the most important thing. Writing about something you’re passionate about is very important. It really shows when the writer isn’t interested in the topic he/she is writing about. It is usually dry or not interesting. Showing passion when you are writing is important. The blog is much more interesting and can make the reader understand the writer even more. For an example, I would never write about basketball. I woudn’t do this because I am not passionate about basketball, I am passionate about soccer. If I wrote about basketball, there would be no real life examples or emphasism in my writing. Compared to soccer, I could write many real life experiences and there would be a lot of excitement going on in it. People would actually want to read it because I enjoy writing about the topic and it wouldn’t be dry. Next, choosing an important title is very important. It is the first thing that the readers see. If it is something boring, nobody is going to want to read it. It needs to be intriguing. My title isn’t just “My blog”, or “Blog Post”. “Passionate Blogging” is what mine is called and this is intriguing because the reader will know it wont be boring. I am writing about something that makes me happy. Everyone will get better with blogging by practicing.
