Words of wisdom
My father once told me an important message. The way you say things will determine if people will choose to listen to it. So I want to remind you, you can have the best message in the world… but if you act in irrational manner then no one will hear it. So with blogging set your tone as deliberate but not preaching. Think long before what you want to write about. Make sure your message is done without trying to make offense.
Being genuine
I feel that sincerity is a condition that does not come easily to most people. Often I find in order to be perceived as “nice” we develop a façade. So many of us are so used to being “ON”. That it is extremely hard to show the real you. As a blogger, you must try to be accepting and inclusive of your readers. I may not like somebody and what they think, but I’m never gonna write anything rude about them.
what i do
My secret? I use a voice recording app. I speak into it first. It scribes my words, then I edit it after reading. I feel this makes my blog sound as if I’m speaking to you. So with that look at the calendar… the month, the season and write about your everyday. Speak in a natural voice and inform rather than judge. The amount of time that you put in your blog should be quality not quantity. Try to set up a schedule of blogging you can commit easily too. Otherwise you will may feel all of “this” way too much.
Providing food of thought
Finally show as much inspiration as possible with visual pairing. Many photos are copyrighted and you can not use them legally. I usually take my own photos and that comes in handy. However you have other options and I will provide that to you in the last part #5.
