After looking through several top blogs on the Internet, I have noticed that they all have a “Blogging Category”. Well, accept for John Chow’s, he has “Wordpress”. Not sure if he meant the same as “Blogging”, so I looked through his posts and found that his posts are talking about new wordpress plugins, new wordpress themes or the latest update on wordpress. So, I guess it still falls under the big topic… BLOGGING.

What will I write under this topic?

Since it’s blogging, I’ll definitely be writing about stuff that I do with my blog. I do notice one common mistake that most bloggers do (including me when I first started), they all try to pitch a sales, or a sign up! In that post, it’s full of why you need to buy this, why you need to sign up… it’s just a typical hypey sales letter on a blog. That’s not how it should be done. It will be the last thing that any reader would want to see… a hypey sales blog post.

The key to writing for your blog is to write as though as you are writing to someone. Never ever try pitching a sales directly on a blog post. Well, you still can do it but be creative. Create a story around your sales pitch and make it as personal as possible. After all its Blogging!
