I wrote a blog about keeping your emails short, and I'm finding myself learning another lesson I wanted to share.See, I can attempt to teach you, in hopes that the lesson will sink into me more if I write it out. Selfish, yeah, I am.
When you sit to author your blog, don't feel like you have to write a book! I catch myself thinking on the most simple subjects, then I get stuck because I feel I have to go into 10 Chapters of details.
You will lose your reader. It's back to the same principle we talk about all the time. Back to the Basics & Keep it Simple.
Blog writings aren't book deals. (Hey, maybe they'll turn into that, or newspaper gigs like for Chris Griffith).
Keep your blog to the point. If you want to write about lengthy topics - consider breaking it up into a series (don't do this often, you'll also lose people this way).
Go with it. Just write. Do you hear me Kim Wood? Just write. Don't try to complicate things by over-studying and making things more difficult. Just write.
Now..... GO!
