Ten tips for successful blog content
Have you made it your new year’s resolution to blog more about photography? Or to blog more about anything, really? Or perhaps you’re looking to improve your blog’s content? Jolie O’Dell has ten tips to help you on your way to identifying and posting successful blog content.
1. Have a hook
An eye-catching photo, an attention- grabbing title, and a powerful first sentence are your best friends.
2. Be natural
Be yourself. Write like you talk, and write about what is real and important to you.
3. Be bold.
Readers love it when you take risks.
4. Be generous
Give, give, and give again. Be generous with links, information, tutorials, and your personality.
5. Think about community
Encourage interaction. Ask for and respond to comments from your readers.
6. Style
Keep an eye on design. Emphasize your photography through great layouts.
7. Story
Know how to tell a good story.
8. Don’t be aloof
Be personal, but respect privacy.
9. Stay positive
You’ll never go wrong by avoiding negativity and drama. Never call out another person or business.
10. Consider your audience
If your photography or language are not safe for children or workplaces, let your readers know. Sometimes, your CMS will let them know in the form of a splash screen asking for acknowledgment of adult content ahead.
Blogging for Photographers by Jolie O’Dell tells you everything that you need to know about establishing your own photo-blogging website, from the basics of how to get your photos from your camera to the Internet, and looking lovely, to how you can make money from your site.
