That's right ... Keep It Simple you Silly blogger!
There are many blogs that I would really like to comment on but unfortunately I just don't have the time to read very many 5000 word essays. And looking at the comment counts, I'm not the only one. Commenting is a critical component of a successful blog and part of what Google, Yahoo & MSN see as the "beauty of the blogging format".
And YES ... before preaching I have to admit that I'm also guilty of getting too wordy and long winded with some of my blog posts.
If you're inclined to write long essays you should consider adding them as new content pages to your website (where you'll benefit most from them). Remember that your blog is a "web log" or "web journal".
Here are some guidelines that I try to follow ...
- Keep your blog Interesting - Make sure you engage your audience, whether that is other real estate professionals or real estate consumers.
- Keep your blog Short - Can you read your blog entry in less than two minutes? If not, don't expect many comments.
- Keep your blog Fun - Blogs are a "social media" so don't be a "Gloomy Gus". Your personality should shine through.
Happy Blogging!
