Who wants to read boring stuff?! Newspapers and magazines make it their business to spice up their papers otherwise they go out of business!
Beefing up their sales:
Consider what newspapers have done all these years:
1. Their headlines are basically short and dramatic, also brazen with suggestive hints.
2. And the introductions to their stories are persuasive, using convincing, influential and incredible facts to get you to read further.
3. The body of their stories is full of dramatic stuff they have dug up. They use vibrant active doing words. Stressing the emotional stuff that will touch and tug at the hearts of people.
In future, take more notice how they do it... even how it's done on television.
Beefing up your blogs:
Blogs aren’t all that different, if you want them to trend.
Reading a blog should be like reading an adventure… taking them through one exciting fact onto another.
People want excitement:
Give it to them in spades.
People love gossip:
Give them something to talk and gossip about. They love to say:
“Have you heard the latest… ?!” So and so just happened… “Did you hear all about it?!”
Are you an exciting person to meet?
People love been around exciting people, where everything is happening and want to be part of it.
It is easier to write exciting stuff, if you yourself look upon life as an exciting adventure.
- Dull people are too serious. Everything is mundane and matter-of-fact. They don’t see the beauty of Nature all around them. The sky is just straight blue and the trees just straight plain green.
- Whereas good writers make it their habit to see the finer dynamics of everything! And with this greater awareness of life’s vibrations and activities they are able to see different `shades and tints’ of their everyday environment.
For example, take the rollercoaster:
As we know the rollercoaster at the fair, go slowly up hill and then generally zooms down the other side of the loops. And when the rollercoaster car flies down very steep loops, people in the cars scream with the thrill of falling fast into what seems a bottomless void. ·
- So why do people pay money to go on the roller-coaster? They want the fun of thrills and excitement of it all! And sharing it with others.
Open those doors to adventure:
So why write dull flat blogs and expect people to get excited about those bland blogs.
- Show the people who come to your website the wonders of the world.
- Give them the action, drama, fun and thrills they are looking for.
- Give them the adventure and excitement of their lives!
Make your blogs like roller-coastering!
Use build up and thrilling `downs’ in your stories.
- First proceed with suggestion and possibilities.
- And then insert dynamic sub-headings and paragraphs they need to read to get the thrills they are looking for.
- Each coasting having exciting `loops the loop’! That is: each fact following onto another.
- And at the end, they can say, the ride you gave them was worth reading.
