Tips for Writing a Blog Post:
1. 500 words is PERFECT. anywhere between 500 – 1000 is ok, anything
over 1000 everyone has stopped reading. (yes we know, this is the most
broken rule of blogging! But believe us and it will save you a lot of
wasted time and effort.)
2. Break it up. Blogs are meant to be read quickly, big blocks of text
put people off, write concisely and use short paragraphs for maximum
effect
3. Always include a picture. We’re all small children at heart and
it’s really true a picture says a thousand words. Even if the picture
isn’t completely relevant it helps to make your blog look more
interesting!
4. Find your own style. You’re not writing for a paper so it’s
perfectly ok to write as you would speak, the best blogs are the ones
where you can recognise the style of the blogger and feel like you
know them.
5. Be personal, tell your story. If people want the news they’ll read
a newspaper. A blog is an opportunity for you to tell the story from
your point of view in your words, include personal reflections,
anecdotes and anything else you want to help you connect with the
reader.
