What You Write Says A Lot About You

Everything has got to have balance, just like Ying and Yang. Writing posts, I guess, is no exception.
Being prolific as a blogger is fine. But what you write can say a lot about you. Yes, your content input has got to measure up to the theme or philosophy of your blog. Mashing up is not a very good idea if you get my drift.
The writing part is important, too. Avoid convoluted sentences, keep it snappy, concise and straight to the point. Inject a bit of wittism, make them grin a bit. Maintain a conversational style.
Your topics can be diverse but still follow a set pattern of the theme or philosophy. That’s how to maintain focus without going off tangent.
Some may not agree but if you want a captured audience you have to sort of “toe the line” and deliver the bacon.
For example, take RSS feed subscriptions. Do bloggers continue to subscribe faithfully or do they unsubscribe from blog RSS feeds after a while?
And why? Well, it has been written elsewhere, based on the bloggers’ experiences with RSS feeds, that for various reasons some people stay on or drop out of their subscriptions.
The top reason why most subscribers quit is because of too many posts coming from RSS feeds. And surprisingly, as opposed to the main reason, people also turn off the RSS because there are too few posts.
So, what do you do? There’s no easy answer. The safest bet is for a blogger to…well, strike a balance. Give it a thought and dream about it!
