I have been asked about Blogging several times via email so I’ll answer here.

  1. Start with a Wordpress blog– its the best. Learn about WP Plugins.
  2. Find a good WordPress theme but don’t stress too much you can easily change it later).
  3. Blog at least 3  times a week to build relationships.
  4. Be Truefaced. Don’t wear masks.
  5. Learn how to write a attention grabbing headline
  6. Never use black background with white text. Some will disagree but I can’t stand it.
  7. Join Twitter to find like-mined friends. They will eventually read your blog. Before joining Twitter read this.
  8. Use lots of paragraph breaks and sub titles. No one likes to read long never-ending paragraphs.
  9. Use white space–lists, bullet points, and images. Make post easy to scan.
  10. Read everything you can at Problogger.net

    Hi Robin,

    I’m curious about #5. What is an attention-getting headline? I’ve read that it’s not the same critter as an attentio-getting title (for a story or book, for example.) As I understand it, you want something that people will type into a search enging–do you agree?

    Thanks!
