Three Obstacles to Excellent Blog Posts

Posts Are important Communications

When someone writes a Post in hopes of communicating an idea, there are three obstacles that have to be overcome by the writer. The Post writer should see these obstacles as challenges rather than discouragements. Listing them alerts the writer to a convenient check-list for writing effective Posts. Note carefully, these three obstacles:

  1. Unimportant Information. The Title of the Post must be something that is important enough to catch the attention of a skimming reader. That line must shout - "Wait". "Pay Attention" If that is not the effect of the Title - "down-voted".
  2. Goobly Gook or Inarticulate Business Speak. Many business people speak a language that the common man does not understand. Most businesses have their code words and phrases. A Post writer must translate those code words and phrases into clearly understood terms that will grab the attention of a reader who is generally nothing more than a novice in the Business world. Gibberish will rate a "down-voted".
  3. Vistual Confusion. Most Posts are visually distorted. They fail to list or underline or bold important points either in Titles or text. This kind of visual confusion makes the reader respond with a "down-voted" rating.

Writing a Post is something that is important enough for the writer to take the necessary time to prepare his/her ideas and produce some kind of an outline so that those ideas are adequately structured for communication. A little research on the subject of the Post at hand goes a long way toward success. Good grammar, short sentences, proper speech is appealing to the visual reader. Remember - When someone writes a Post in hopes of communicating an idea, there are three obstacles that have to be overcome by the writer. These obstacles can be overcome if you are careful and review your writing.
