How to Write 'Good Posts'

No post is perfect. Well, not ours anyways. Everyone has their own way of writing, what they think is best for their daily posts and it works for them. When reading blogs, the first thing I look for is Good, Eye Catching Titles in feeds such as twitter, facebook pages, bloglovin, etc. I scroll to find the ones that sound intriguing, interesting and something that will satisfy my search. Trust me, if it doesn't sound good, I'm not clicking, eh?!

So how do you find the perfect title for your posts? A shorter title is much more attractive than a longer title. Not to say a one word title does it but anything more than a one line title is overwhelming, cut it down. You also increase your views by having some suspense in there. Don't go all boring on me now. Spice that title up a notch. Don't just write "My Weekend in Photos" and think people are going to be attracted to that......let's write something like this, "A Glimpse of Life in the Dates House."or something to that effect. Trust me, I have a hard time with titles too but the more creative you can be, the more readers will click and actually read.

Adding some exotic words in your posts is fun and interesting too. Try searching the word in a different language and use a little drive in that title.

Onto the actual post. Let's start with a photo if you are going to be including photos into this post. Why? Because it looks much cleaner and you want to attract your viewers right away. So when publishing photos in your posts, put the photo in the beginning and write underneath it. I personally like to use this layout because I'm more interested in the story after seeing the photo head on. If I see a glop of words before and after the photos, I tend to get lost {I know, I'm horrible}

Separate your writing into paragraphs. Like we mentioned before- if someone sees a lot of writing bunched together, they will not even bother to read.

Don't make your text font so small no one can see. Usually a good size is 12px. You shouldn't use anything smaller or bigger. Maybe a 14px if it's a different font but if you can barely see what makes you think we can? Fonts. Use a font that isn't so Fancy if you know what I mean. Sometimes it takes longer to upload and some people have a hard time reading those types of fonts. Clean, neat ones are highly recommended, most times, plain jane is better.

Start your posts with a hello lovely or something to that effect. You are talking to your readers and it's nice to introduce a new day with them. Same as saying goodbye at the end of that post. Wish them a fabulous day and maybe a stay tuned, so they come back tomorrow.

Lengthy posts are call for no views or goodbyes quickly. Do not post a book. Keep it as short as possible.

Don't use these little :) smiley faces. Super annoying and so disturbing. I know. I like them too. But NO NO NO.

Don't write about mixed topics in one post. Stay focused on that topic and don't think to mention about something that doesn't relate. People bunch their posts up with ten different topics and we get lost. Don't do it. Save a food post for a food post and a playing at the park post for a park post.

Links are def. something you must include. If you take a photo from a site to use on your post, link back to them. If you don't and people know that the photo didn't come from you {most will know right away} , they get a feeling of mistrust and won't come back. And linking back to "GOOGLE" is the worst thing I've ever seen on a site who took the pic from google images. You did not get it from google, that pic has a site link and you should have linked properly versus being LAZY! So unattractive.

Good posts are neat, on topic and proper. Follow these simple steps and your posts will be awesome.
