How To Write An Article In Proper Way

Actually how do you write an article that can be easily understand by your readers by just read once? I've read a lot of others' bloggers' article before, I like some and don't like some because of the writing skill, I don't mean their grammar but format skill.

I read some articles before, they write in very long sentences without full stop and even too many sentences in one paragraph. I'm not afford to finish it because my eyes were tired.

How To Write In Proper Way

1) Keep your sentences as short as possible.

2) Write in simple grammar, don't use genius grammar, not much people can understand it.

3) Use < /h1 > , < /h2 > or < /h3 > for your sub-title, it helps your reader to find which part that they're interest to read.

4) Write in point form, it's really works to attract readers because your articles are very easy to understand.

5) Try to write less than 5 sentences in one paragraph.

6) Write in your way as clean as easy as simple as possible.

My Suggestion

I like to write in point form because it's really easy to understand for readers and myself, because I don't have to write in long story (Nobody like to read long sentences). Straight to point as your blog post title.

If you have a blog and write in this way, share me your blog in the comment box below, because I like to read those blogs. It's comfortable to read and easy to understand!

How To Choose Your Niche Topic

Choosing the right niche topic for your blog is very important, it influents your blog's visibility, traffic, readability, and also future. You must think something interesting, enthusiasm, and fun to write about. In my opinion, personal blog won't be too famous unless you have weird character. If you're not weird character, better choose the right niche.

Normally how many topics we can choose? Unlimited! You can write anything else in the world, i.e. food, travel, games, video, computer, cook, place, work, technology, make money, blogging, photography, and etc. There are tonnes of topics you can choose, but it's depend on some factors too :

Factors That Affect Choosing Niche


1) Your favourite
When you choose a topic, be sure it's your favourite, be sure you can keep writing about the topic non stop. Ask yourself what is your favourite, photography? Food? Travel? Games? Choose one, so that you can keep writing about your favourite.

2) Material
If you don't have #1, then you go for material. You've done some surveys about the topic and get some material to refer, if you get nothing, it's difficult for you to continue your writing. Take note, you can refer but cant copy and paste the material into your blog, Google like fresh and unique content, but not copied content. Your blog can't grow if you keep copying content.

3) Possibility
Do a survey see how many people like your niche, simply make a poll in forum and ask what people like to read. Choose those topic that people interest and you can write well too.

Types Of Blog


1) Niche Blog
Niche blog consists of food, travel, games, video, computer, cook, place, work, technology, make money, blogging, photography, and etc. That's mean you are concentrate on 1 niche topic, if you choose a topic about food, so your whole blog will be all talking about food. This type of blog is potential to grow up and become famous.

Why? When you want to search info for food, you found a blog, the blog only has 1 post about food and other post about personal, will you stay or leave? No one interest to read your grandfather's story.

2) Composite Blog
Composite blog means a blog that consist of personal rant and niche topic. Let's say you have a travel blog, when you travel to Bali, you write about your experience there and you write about Bali and took some nice photo over there. This blog can be famous and attract readers too, because this is what I like to read.

3) Personal Rant Blog
Personal rant blog is blog that writing about personal life, history, experience and anything else. This type of blog will be a little bit bored, as I said, no one interest to read your grandfather's story. Unless you have weird weird character, excessive funny, enthusiasm, obnoxious, prettiest, and etc.

My Sugguestion


By choosing a topic and type of blog, it's depend how serious you treat a blog, if you're serious in blogging, you can choose a niche topic, if you just want to express your daily feeling, personal rant must be the most suitable blog for you. Blogging is very flexible, it don't have time frame, you can write anytime, anywhere. So ... Happy Blogging!

Basic Blogger Attitude

Many blogger are just blog for fun, but some of them are serious. How many of bloggers are really serious and really blogging without give up? I could say perhaps many or few. Darren Rowse from Problogger.net did an analysis on how long did Top 100 Technorati Blog had been blogging. The result was showing that the Top Blogger blogging for average of 33.8months.

That's mean the successful blogger's basic attitude is Patient. Be patient and don't give up, this is the basic attitude a serious blogger should have.

It relate with the frequency of updating a blog too. Blogging is all talking about time. "You take time, you get the apple.". By referring the graph, it shows that if you take time and be patient in blogging, traffic will follow. Kahoongchai from myblog2day.com wrote an article about "5 Don't In Blogging Sphere", it shows that blogger not only require time but also patient.

My Suggestion

Patient is the basic attitude that every blogger should have, because patient is one of the most important factor that bring you the successful journey in blogosphere. A lot of example of successful bloggers out there, it proves that patient is the key of successful.

How Frequent Should Update A Blog

Blogging time can be very flexible, it don't require time frame, no one force you to blog, you can update your blog anytime because it's your blog, not your friends', not your brothers' and even not your parents'. Many bloggers ask "how frequent should I update my blog?", I can say there's no time frame, it's flexible. It can be daily, weekly or even monthly.

The frequency of updating your blog is depend on how serious are you with your blog. Blogging is talking about quality but not quantity, this is what Google want from us. If you are serious in blogging, it's better you have both.

If I'm Serious In Blogging, How Frequent Should I Update?

It's up to you, but I recommend you to update your blog by daily basis, update 1 time a day, there will be 365times in a year. If you can't do that, at least 5times in a week, then it'll be approximate 240times in a year. I personally think that reader like to read a blog that is still alive, they will leave it if the blog is dead or update once a month.

Bear in mind, quality is more important than quantity, make sure you share fresh and unique content with your reader. Readers will still leave your blog if you have lousy articles.

My Suggestion

Still I've to say, blogging time is very flexible, if you article is interesting, informative and unique, then everything will be okay. Happy Blogging!
