3 Reasons Why Blogs Drown in the Blogosphere

Posted on 20. Mar, 2009 by Ashwin in Blogging

Most blogging newbies do get started with blogging, but they don’t understand what it takes to be successful with it. What must be a part of their strategy and what they would be better without? There are, however, a few aspects no blog should miss. This probably complements what was discussed in my earlier post called 5 Nuts and Bolts Every Blog Must Have.

1. No Images: Blog readers are notorious for short attention spans and hence it becomes  very important to grab their attention, In this case, pictures do say a thousand words; displaying an image in the post is a sure-shot attention grabber. Having attractive images is a sure attention grabber and must be put to good use.

2. Not having  An Authentic Point of view:Blogs are meant to be personal. They aren’t meant to take someone’s trip, or at least that’s what non-daing doesn’t even accept to be a part of the equation. Most of the professional b loggers look for a unique angle to present or to justify their equation whichmaks or break the wall. It is extremely important that the blog has  a vocie of its own and it doesn’t pick up on some one’s point of view.

3. Failing to Enrage Someone or get under someone’s nerves: Blogs are meant to be point of view. They are meant to be opinionated and soul string. If you are being too nice in the voice you had taken up for blogging, you aren’t going to get far; if, on the other hand, if you had strong opinions and if you do seem to be too opinionated, you are skirting on a strong and difficult part of the equation. Your blog really gets to the forefront when it manages to piss at least of your readers up.
