Effective blog use requires understanding key attributes: voice, frequency, style, features and passion Blog’s Personality

Blog’s Voice Customized Voice Conversational Not Just Articles Departure from factual journalist voice. Conversational Create everyday conversation to make messages personal. Not Just Articles Most blogs are not collections of articles---readers expect opinions. Ways of Getting Attention Blogs use humor, sarcasm, self-deprecation, irony, over-the-top seriousness, or other approaches to capture readers’ attention. Blog’s Voice How entries are presented and worded

Blog’s Frequency Immediacy Significant Events Posting Times Timely material provides sense of immediacy. Significant Events When significant events occur, update blog right away. Posting Times Helpful if writer has predetermined time between postings. Study Usage Monitor blog traffic statistics to determine best entry frequency. Blog’s Frequency How often to publish new entries

Most hosting sites offer preformatted configurations (themes) Themes help avoid looking amateurish Blog’s Style Determines readers’ perceptions of a business

Example WordPress Themes

Blog’s Features SEO Monetization Ensures social and traditional Web searches can find content and share via syndication SEO Various mechanisms enable search engine optimization (SEO), social media optimization (SMO), and monetization. Monetization Can be direct (ex. advertising revenue) or indirect (ex. capture of potential customer leads). Blog’s Features Add interest

Blog’s Passion How to Infuse Passion into a Blog Read Fresh and Thought-Provoking Material Go beyond current news and what everyone else reads Absorb new and fresh ideas Observe the world Talk to people working in related areas Read old and unusual books Spend time reflecting and thinking Discover subject matter unrelated to your blog that will add value because of author’s style or approach to topics. Seek unexpected inspiration and new ways of viewing topics from alternative sources. Blog’s Passion

Blog’s Passion (Continued) Blogs convey an opinion. People read more than just your company’s blog. Choose a direction and make a strong case. Create a discussion online. Reader comments can provide alternative points of view and build a case for opposing sets of arguments. . To influence readers, provide best arguments. Blog’s Passion (Continued) Blogs convey opinions and so don’t need to be balanced
