It also makes us difficult in developing our topic, choosing the proper term and our discussion will ends up at a narrow discussions. Hence, I quite rarely publish new post here.

  • Make it straight

Most of our blog visitors do not having a lot of time to spend in reading our blog, for this reason don’t waste their time by a bit too much opening or chit chat. Let’s make it straight to the point by giving proper opening paragraph.

  • Involve the reader

By involving our reader towards something that we write, we make them feel closer to us and make them feel as if they’re talking directly to us. You can use some words to involve them into your writing, such as “you” or “you guys” and so on.

It is better for you to use easy understanding language style, due to our people on internet are heterogeneous. All the visitors who land to your blog are varied based on their intelligences level, some can be smart, quite good, and even low.

Some characteristics of easy understanding language style for blog are:
  • Using simple vocabulary,
  • Avoiding unfamiliar term which is known just by you or particular group, however it would be fine if it’s still relating to your topic,
  • And so on.

  • Don’t write too long

Unlike in formal text which is emphasizing on the structure, blogging has a bit flexible than it. The point is to write a good article to read and makes your reader interested. Don’t write too long within a paragraph, it is better to take 3 up to 6 lines within a single paragraph.

  • Use Subheading and bullet

Other trivial things but quite effective which most bloggers don’t realize are subheading and bullet. It has important part in writing article, for instance makes a distinctive point on every part of the post.

  • Use image

Image is used to give a good the first impression and represent the whole thing that you’re going to tell to the reader. If you want your post looks better and interesting, placing at least one image is a must.

  • Avoid using article generator

Leaving your article a bit messy will make your visitor not interested and hard to understand what you’ve written. In other hand, letting an article spinner to do the rest of job will make your works are less unique.

  • Always double check your work

Right after you’ve done with your article, ensure to reread what you’ve written and do some correction if it’s needed. For instance, some typos, misspelling, as well as a bit longer sentences than it should.

In brief…

Write a good and user friendly article actually isn’t that difficult, what makes it difficult solely caused we’re not getting used with it. So, the first steps you can take by not copying others Bloggers, and try to write your own.
