I’ve really developed a personal interest in blogging, social media and twitter, but unfortunately I’ve hit my first writers block when it comes to blogging. Yes, I’ve blogged about social media and some cool ads that have come up, but I’m uncertain about my blogs effectiveness. I understand that it is a class requirement to write my blog, but I want to continue after the “requirement” stage, and create a personal blog that can strike interest from people that aren’t forced to read my blog for grading purposes.
I fully understand the importance of blogging in the business world, in the marketing world, and even in the personal branding world. So I began to wonder, how can I make my blog better? How can I make it so people actually would come across value in my posts? This self searching led me to a blog post by Tyler Tervooren titled The Better Blogging Formula: Think, Do, Write, which exactly answered my question. It outlines a blogging success formula that emphasises the importance of actually doing what you’re writing about. No one wants to read about a travel blog, until the persons been there, and no one wants to read about a cooking recipe until someone has actually cooked it.
So my goal for next week is to add the doing part into my blogging formula and see how the test run goes…of course I’d love to endorse the Think, Do, Write formula right now, but then it’d be contradictory to the ideology behind it. So I’ll let you know next week once I’ve actually done it!
