Guerrilla Blogging: Write Something
“For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can.” – Ernest Hemingway
So are you sitting there trying to figure out what to write for a new blog post? You have a few moments before work or on a lunch break? You see everyone else come up with lengthy blog posts and graphics and wonder how can I even compete?
Simple. No, really. Some of the best blog posts I have ever read where small and simple. Make you feel a bit better? There is no reason to think you need to be writing a thesis to solve world hunger. Keep it simple and fun, for example:
Draw a picture: Some of you may be artist or at least you were in high school when you drew pictures of your teacher! Doodles and comics are great first posts, usually simple and to the point. Plus I am sure you can crank out something in that next one hour long meeting discussing TPS report cover sheets!
Take a picture: A picture is worth a thousand words, or so they say. Did you take a compelling picture? Ah, but you say its not that great. Look you are not going for the cover of Time magazine. Share your picture on your blog and tell a small story about it.
Tell a story: Short stories are amazing. Short stories delivered strong messages in the smallest of books. Tell a short story to teach a lesson or make someone laugh.
Make a list: Lists are popular online. If you doubt take a look at the front page of Digg. A simple list that is helpful or is funny can go a long way.
Last Word…
Keep your writing, pictures and drawing on topic to your blog subject. Remember that everyone starts out with no traffic and has to build it up. What separates successful blogs from the millions of abandoned ones is simple. They kept writing something.
