@BlogTrendsBlog Trends

Q1 Ive just started blogging. How do I develop my voice and writing

style? #blogtrends

@privateschprep Ashley

A1: Basically just write how you like and ask people to edit it to make it

better #blogtrends

@NHDaveHDave Herndon

A1. Just keep writing, eventually you'll find your voice. It takes practice,

practice and more practice. #Blogtrends

@msfemministaCourtney

A1: The easiest way is to write how you naturally speak. I find bloggers

who write like this are very easy to relate to. #blogtrends

@patricksplacePatrick Phillips

A1 Only one way: WRITE and let it emerge! RT @BlogTrends: Q1

How do I develop my voice and writing style? #blogtrends

@DigitalKaitlynKaitlyn Pierce

A1 I struggle with this, I like it to be conversational but I also want to

have some whit and creativity #blogtrends

@KpSittingPrettyKelley

A1: 1st decide if you want you're readers to feel like friends, students,

or customers. Most important, remember to be yourself. #blogtrends


A1 Write the way you speak, as if you are talking to a friend. And pay

attention to writing that captivates you... #blogtrends

@thecuriouspugAlycia

A1 write how you talk, be yourself, don't feel like you have to post

about certain things because everyone else is. #blogtrends


A1: Also, don't publish your first draft. Go back to refine and shorten.

#blogtrends


A1 Why are you captivated? Look at the language, the layout, the

voice. Study what compels you, to inform your own words. #blogtrends


A1: The easiest way would be to approach your readers as friends b/c

you can write how you would speak to any friend. #blogtrends

@BBorowiczBrittney Borowicz

A1: I blog/write like I speak... which Wordpress does not always seem

to appreciate. #blogtrends

@BelleandEIBMonique+Silvane

A1: make it clear about what you are writing about and stay constant,

your style shouldn't change, this will confuse readers #BlogTrends

@HouseOfJeffersJen Jeffery

A1 Writing styles develop over time and practice. For me, I write the

way I speak - as if I'm talkin to a friend. #blogtrends



@ConfettiBlogAmanda

Q1 I just try to write the way I speak and offer up information I know

about! #Blogtrends


A1: It's also good to read what you write before someone else does

and get proof readers. #blogtrends


A1 And READ, READ, READ! The best writers are avid readers.

#blogtrends

@bloggingitfwdBlogging It Forward

A1. Be yourself when you write! Readers want to discover your unique

style. Don't try to be like anyone else. #blogtrends


A1: Read a lot. Magazines, books, other blogs. Everything. Take note

of what you're drawn to style-wise. #blogtrends


A1: Know that it will take time to really hone your voice so be patient

and keep writing, you'll get in the swing of things. #blogtrends

@KatiePetixKatie Petix

A1 A great way to start is to define who your audience is very

specifically and write for that one specific person #blogtrends


A1 - I see a lot of comments about writing as if you were talking to a

friend. This is such great advice! #blogtrends

@laceandzippersLace and Zippers

A1 Your writing style should reflect you. It's a matter of translating the

way you think into a format that's intelligible #BlogTrends


A1 Practice makes perfect. Write often, and study grammar rules.

They DO matter, especially if you want to go pro. #blogtrends


A1 try to do one topic per post, not a whole bunch of random things.

#blogtrends


A1: Don't stress because that will make you adopt a voice that is not

yours. #blogtrends


A1 A word of caution: Write in your speaking voice, but be aware of

spelling, grammar, and punctuation! Avoid looking sloppy. #blogtrends


A1 You attract readers through your own personal take on topics so it's

important to be an original! #BlogTrends


A1 write when the mood strikes. dont force it. sometimes i'll go days

w/o inspiration, then all of the sudden i get 3 post ideas #blogtrends


A1: Oh and don't be surprised if your voice is not how you thought it'd

sound! Be personable and have fun! #blogtrends



@YaniraGarza23Yanira Garza

A1. You can't tell the difference between how I speak and how I write.

That is my voice. For some it develops over time #BlogTrends

@nikkiananikkiana

Q1: Practice, practice, practice. It's something that evolves over time.

#blogtrends

@LetsChickChatLetsChickChat

A1. Be original. Be yourself. #BlogTrends


A1: For SEO purposes 300+ words is ideal. I usually write 300-600

words depending on the post. #blogtrends

@stylishhwifeStylish Housewife

THIS. ;) RT: @gritandglamour: A1 Write the way you speak, as if you

are talking to a friend. #blogtrends

RT @BlogTrends: Q2 What are some writing tips to encourage

community and comments on my blog? #blogtrends


Q2 What are some writing tips to encourage community and

comments on my blog? #blogtrends


A2 Ask your readers opinions and specifically asking for comments are

direct ways to encourage community on your blog #blogtrends


A2 - I always try to include a "call to action" at the end of my blog

posts. But it has to be authentic! #blogtrends


A2: I always like to engage readers in sharing what they think. I ask

questions. I try to be relatable. #blogtrends


A2: I actually just posted a tip! Oops :) #Blogtrends


A2, Don't be afraid to pose questions to the readers, they are likely to

respond to them. #Blogtrends


A2 just be friendly, reply to comments and tweets, don't be afraid to be

vulnerable (within your comfort level of course). #blogtrends


A2 Ask your readers a question. Ask for their opinions. Cover

controversial topics from a fresh perspective. #blogtrends


A2 Ask questions, and leave content open ended to kick start convos.

Create posts that invite opinions. #blogtrends


A2: Ask a question at the end of your posts. Let them know you want

and care about their opinion. #blogtrends


A2: At the end of each post, I ask a question that will encourage the

readers to respond with a comment. #Blogtrends

@MikiDeMannMiki DeMann

A2: Find blogs that you want to follow. Comment often on those blogs

and make yourself known! #blogtrends


A2 Be honest. Be genuine. Let your audience know you are interested

in what they have to say. Ask them questions. #blogtrends


A2 Also, to get comments, you have to give them when you're just

starting. That's just the way it is. #blogtrends


A2: Also go to their blogs and ask them a question. Respond to their

comments. Engage, engage, engage! #blogtrends




A2 Writing on controversial topics and voicing your own opinion can

also encourage comments & conversation #blogtrends


A2 I find the question method doesn't always work. We have to be a bit

more engaging than just ending a post w/a question. #blogtrends


A2 Also, responding to comments on your blog shows you're listening.

People are more likely to come back & comment when you do.

#blogtrends


A2 Write with an appreciation that your readers might feel the same or

contrary to your opinion. It will foster discussion #BlogTrends

@EternallyZobiaZobia

A2. If you simply ask a couple of questions at the end of your post,

short conversations with your readers start! #BlogTrends #blogtrends


A2 Also state your opinion on the topic clearly so that your readers will

know your stance and will able to agree or disagree #BlogTrends

@BostonBloggerGGGeorgina

A2: end your post by posing a relevant question to your readers

#blogtrends


A2: If you choose to post a question at the end of a post, make it fun

and interesting! When I first started it worked wonders. #blogtrends

@nikkiananikkiana

A2: Find blogs you love and comment often. Respond to those who

comment on yours. #blogtrends


A2 It's also good to mix in question posts. We recently started our

"Masterpiece or Mayhem" posts. It will get comments going

#BlogTrends

@Chasing_JoyChasing Joy (Arlett)

A2. Ask a question, ask for tips, and or advice #BlogTrends

@BlogTrends


A2 Remember your content. If you're posting outfits without a

narrative, that doesn't leave much for people to comment on.

#blogtrends


A2 If you want interaction/ENGAGEMENT, be ENGAGING. Be a

storyteller. You don't have to bait anyone if you're engaging.

RT @BlogTrends: Q3 Sometimes I write a lot...Does it matter how long

my posts are? If so, what is the ideal length? #blogtrends


Q3 Sometimes I write a lot and others just a little. Does it matter how

long my posts are? If so, what is the ideal length? #blogtrends


A3 Short posts may not give any value to the reader. Long posts may

lose the readers attention. 400-600 words is a good range #blogtrends


A3. I think it's best to be natural. Write a lot when you have a lot to

say. #BlogTrends


A3 For SEO purposes 300-500 words seems to be preferred.

#blogtrends


A3: I think it does matter because you don't want something that is too

short, but you also don't want a novel. #Blogtrends


A3 - There's no "right or wrong" answer for how long your posts should

be. Write what's in your heart and gauge reader reaction. #blogtrends


A3 as a blogger I will write as long or short as I feel, as a blog reader,

shorter is better. #shortattentionspan #hypocrite lol #blogtrends


A3 I think it also has a bit to do with your reader and niche though.

#blogtrends

@MikiDeMannMiki DeMann

A3: Make it long enough to tell the story WELL and short enough to

keep your audience's attention. #blogtrends


A3 There is no "ideal" length. But there are tricks to making long posts

digestible: chunking, subheadings, bullets. #blogtrends


A3: Write the amount that feels comfortable to you. If you don't you'll

ramble on and on about nothing. #blogtrends


A3. I don't think it matters how long your post is. It's always quality

over quantity! #BlogTrends #blogtrends


A3: Some people only need a few words and photos to tell a story or

convey a feeling, others need more. #blogtrends


A3: I don't like reading super short posts, but I also don't think there's

an ideal length content-wise. #blogtrends


A3 If you have a long post, don't you dare do it all in one paragraph!

You MUST break it up with subheadings and smaller paras.

#blogtrends



@clintonwilmottClinton Wilmott

A3 The length of your posts can very. The most important thing is to

post regularly. #blogtrends


A3 That's classis writing for the web: users don't read, they scan. And

they read 25% slower online. #blogtrends

@LetsChickChatLetsChickChat

A3. As long as the content is clear, and your message is complete,

length of post doesnt matter #BlogTrends


A3:I find that lots of blog readers like things quick & to the point. If

you're going to be lengthy, you'd better be interesting #blogtrends

@nikkiananikkiana

A3: 400-600 is ideal. However, don't treat it as a hard fast rule. Use the

appropriate amount of words to tell your story. #blogtrends


A3 If a post starts getting too long, try breaking it up into a series. Part

1 and Part 2. plus the link back is great for SEO #blogtrends


This is important too! ;) RT @patricksplace: A3 For SEO purposes

300-500 words seems to be preferred. #blogtrends


A3 I personally don't like super lengthy articles. If I have to scroll

through a lot to get to your point, I won't come back. #blogtrends

@BelleandEIBMonique+Silvane

#blogtrends A3: some people write differently, some write a few words

and others write plenty of words


A3 Length of posts is probably a blogger's biggest challenge. One

school of thought is to write until you feel it's perfect #BlogTrends


A3 It really depends on the nature of the topic. An editorial needs more

expression while a light feature can be shorter #BlogTrends


A3 One main consideration is that you feel that it represents your

opinion, style and voice. That's what really matters #BlogTrends


A3 Consider your topic with regard to post length. Don't waste words.

No need to blow it out if it's all fluff & filler. #blogtrends

RT @BlogTrends: Q4 What is scannable content? How can I write my

posts to make them scannable? #blogtrends


Q4 What is scannable content? How can I write my posts to make

them scannable? #blogtrends


A4 Scannable content is short paragraphs with headings. Numbered

lists. Bullet points. Small digestible clumps of info #blogtrends


A4 Readers should be able to scan your post and gather all the main

points. #blogtrends


For Q4, what does scannable content mean? #Blogtrends


RT @gritandglamour: RT @BlogTrends: Q4 What is scannable

content? How can I write my posts to make them scannable?

#blogtrends


A4 I make my posts "scannable" by putting key sentences in boldface.

For longer posts, I use sub-headings, too. #blogtrends


A4 Scannable content is "chunked," with subheadings that summarize

paragraphs so you get the gist quickly. #blogtrends


A4, subheads, but that's just sound journalism, not really "scanable

content," #Blogtrends

@ConfettiBlogAmanda

A4 easy to read, clear breaks and headings, a nice and relevant photo

is great too #Blogtrends


A4 For example, if you have tips, the subheading above indicates that.

So people can scan right to the juicy stuff if they want. #blogtrends


A4 - Readers are busy & have short attention spans (thanks to

Twitter)! Make sure a reader can "scan" your post and get the gist

#blogtrends


Q4 Scannable content draws the eye in, and calls out copy/content.

Almost like doing all the work and guiding readers. #blogtrends


A4 i didn't know that's what it was called, but i do know that I like to

read posts like that :) #blogtrends


A4: Keep magazines in mind. Layout, headings and font is important to

keeping your content readable. #blogtrends


A4 Scannable content are those posts that peak your interest through

an eye catching picture, headings and succinct pointers #BlogTrends



@nikkiananikkiana

A4: It strains the eyes to have to read through long paragraphs. It's

more inviting to keep them short. #blogtrends


A4 Infrographics definitely get the job done through a combination of

both. #BlogTrends


A4: Making your post scanable is about the words photos and more.

Making it easily identifiable and easy to pick out is key. #blogtrends


And they are great for Pinterest RT @laceandzippers: A4 Infrographics

definitely get the job done through a combination of both. #BlogTrends


A4: I think of it like a "grab"able snap shot a reader can pick

out/remember easily. Attention grabbing tidbits. #blogtrends


A4 When all else fails, GOOGLE! Google "writing for the web," or

"scannable content." You'll find plenty of instruction. #blogtrends


A4 Orientation of the content is also important. Don't be afraid to mix

up the fonts, placement of info and the general flow #BlogTrends


A4. I like to use bullet points, lists, and bold font to make my posts

more scan-able. #BlogTrends


A4 Another critical thing: best readability: black text on white

background. Bigger, rather than smaller fonts. #blogtrends


A4 Don't use script fonts for body copy online. It's terrible for

readability. #blogtrends


A4. I'd love to hear what others have to say. I'm clueless to SEO!

RT @BlogTrends: Q5 Do you have any writing tips or tricks to increase

my blogs SEO? #blogtrends


Q5 Do you have any writing tips or tricks to increase my blogs SEO?

#blogtrends


A5 - Have a unique, descriptive title, and keywords in your first few

sentences. Also, don't forget Alt Text for your pictures! #blogtrends


A5 Use keywords in the URL, H1 and H2 tags, and in the body. Have

complete metadata. #blogtrends


A5 Wordpress SEO by Yoast plugin is easy to use and teaches you

quite a bit about SEO. #blogtrends


A5: Write naturally and go back to optimize later. #blogtrends


A5 Also name image files with keywords. #blogtrends


I try to remember to do this RT @gritandglamour: A5 Also name image

files with keywords. #blogtrends


A5: write how you would talk and promote your posts #Blogtrends


A5 naming images with keywords has been huge for my traffic, such a

quick and easy tip! #blogtrends


A5 When you choose a topic to writing about do a little keyword

research first to see what ppl are searching for. #blogtrends


A5 Pay attention to your search results & posts that drive traffic.

It'll help you think of other related, SEO content. #blogtrends


A5 Never, ever aim for 300 words when it's unwarranted, just for SEO!

Leverage your metadata instead. And keywords. #blogtrends


A5 If you want to remain under the radar, don't put your name in your

image filename. You can never retrieve them from the Web.
