How to be a more compelling blogger

We all want to be more compelling writers and bloggers.

Harry Hoover of My Creative Team decided to do some research on the subject using Twitter. He wrote an article for Social Media Today that summarized his findings.

Mr. Hoover heard from a Rubbermaid blogger who said anyone interested in more compelling blog content should, “Hire a good writer. Seriously.”

Another respondent suggested using compelling headlines like “Common myths of…” or “Mistakes to avoid in…”

Read Hoover’s full article by clicking here. It’s worth it. He says if you can’t afford to hire a crack wordsmith then improve your own writing. He expands on the following writing tips.

• Write tight
• Tell me a story
• Tell me a story about me
• Get active. (Learn more about the “queen of the vivid verb”)
• Use “storystarters.” We all get stuck for a fresh idea or the right approach to a blog post. Hoover enumerates several methods for crashing through

That said, Mr. Hoover is still looking for more ideas about how we can all make our blog posts more compelling – and so am I. Share your thoughts.
