It follows that in order to have a successful blog, you’ll need to fill it with successful blog posts. Things that are boring, too off topic or not a part of your ‘blog voice’ can ruin your blogs success for a reader, who will not be back to see if you fixed it in the future. Remember the goal: to give users what they need and/or want.
Here is a list of attributes successful blog posts have:
- Entertaining.
- More than a list of links.
- They give credit where credit is due.
- They aren’t written in drawn out wordy paragraphs.
- Ranting is done in an informative way - not whiny.
- Not many, if any, grammar/spelling/typo mistakes.
- Users are invited to comment and add their opinions.
- Information is given in the basic way, the post does not ‘talk over’ it’s visitors.
- Insightful and honest.
- The post shows that the blogger is enthusiastic about his/her blog.
