I have been on AR for less than two months. I was invited to join AR from one of my business partners. Well, I got hooked on it. I love the ease of blogging to express my opinions on the Internet. I became an official Certified Rainmaker this week. Can I put that on my business card?
Here are my top 10 Tips to writing more effective blogs:
- Title must catch people's attention so they click to read
- First couple of sentences must be interesting enough so people want to read it
- Write about topics that interest other people
- Write about your own experiences so other people can learn from it
- Write a blog about an experience and ask for AR input from other professionals
- Proofread it and Spell-check to avoid errors
- Include bullet points and numbers so people can can obtain information faster
- Link like a mad man
- Keywords throughout the post
- Drink Coffee
MMMMM TAST GOOD IN THE MORNING JACK AND JAVA!
I like #10 myself.
Which is your favorite number on the list above?

I appreciate this list of "to do's," it's definitely going to help my cluelessness. I just joined the free portion of AR and I've never blogged, so I'm pretty clueless when it comes to blogging, but the blogs I have read about being clueless say I'll become a better blogger over time.
Michelle Welcome to AR. You will love it. Be true to yourself and write about what you know
great list thanks
I think #1 is very important, Harry. It's what catches people's attention. The rest are great, too.
Heather great input. Keep up the blogging
Coffee gets me to blog better also
Coffee helps me in the morning. Great minds do think the same and drink coffee
I think I need to pay more attention to #2, but please explain to me about linking. Link to what? And can you please tell me how people put a video into their blog? Oh yeah, and what is a Rainmaker? Do I want to be one?
Yep those are all great things to keep in mind while blogging for sure ....do you become a rainmaker when you pay to join? Hmmm I wonder......:-)
Harry, what if you don't drink coffee? Is there a substitute #10? Or ?
Harry, one more thing: any suggestions on how to select that catchy title?
Any particular phrasing? Number of words? ...
Harry,
All good points and coffee helps. I would also add blog consistently, practice makes perfect.
Way to go, Rainmaker! I think coffee should be #1 on the list.
All great comments for this subject. Everyone of you is a great blogger. Keep up the great work.
