11 tips for successful post
Vincent Maher has written a great post about Managing a good blog entry. I found these tips very useful and I think every blogger (especially beginners) should consider them seriously.
The 11 tips can be found here. and I`ll write down some notes:
Write tight headlines that encourage interest
Remember that many readers will be scanning your RSS feed along with many others, so the poignancy of your headline is critical. If the headline doesn’t grab a reader’s attention there is little likelihood they will click on it.
I think this is the most important tip ever! writing a attract Title will force readers to read the article!
Never delete anything
In blogger culture deleting something after people have read it or commented is a cardinal sin. Don’t do it, rather post a correction on the original entry.
I donno..
Actually I think it depend on the content and the type of the post!
Be active in your own conversations
Don’t sit and watch the comments streaming in and do nothing, get in there! Unlike traditional journalists, the blogger’s role is to steer and be part of the conversations they start.
why?!! is there a real blogger who didn’t answer his readers?!
Create buzz everywhere
Make sure there are lots of inbound links to your post. Find other blogs that are discussing the same issue, or your blog entry, and post comments with links to updated content or highlighting some of the perspectives put forward by your commenters.
Also this is a very important tip, especially for beginner bloggers!
