From the Wikipedia, blog is a type of website. Blog are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. For me, blog it's like a house. When a person comes to your house, what they can see might be what they would think about you. As she or he walking along the house, they will see the home decoration, the people in that house, the joyful of that family and so on. Thus, blog is that same, it is perception, what people read in your blog, its shows what are you want them to know you. If you write some kinds of maddy things or in maddy mood and positive thinking or whatever, they will know you in that particular way, and of course, in their mind, they will set you as an easy going person or cheerful. Instead of that, if your writing or paragraph would talking all about angry, curse, or something negative, you are setting your audience's mind that you are a negative person and have a bad personality.
Being a blogger, its doesn't have to be cheerful all the way. That is so fake. As a human being, we can have laugh in a day, and tears in other day. Thus, it doesn't matter for you to express your mood or your feelings, but the important things is to have a good manner, a good words in order to share with your audiences. Through it, your audience can give you feedback, support, comments and so on. Then, surprisingly, some of those commentators are someone that you don't even know. Starting with this post and comments, both of you can make a new relationship and become friend. Further, the relationship will expand day by day and here - a group members can be create! How amazing, in just this website, more and more friends you can gain.
Instead of friends, the most precious thing that you would learn or gain indirectly, is the confidence. This may comes as you approaching with new friends, besides, you are also confidence in order give your opinions and that its, you can stand tall!. With this opinions and discussions, you can see in others perspectives too. Some might say yes, and some might say no, so this is also your learning session. Learning with other people, and this is so impressive things when we reach people through blogging.
It's a valiant effort.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading so many blogs from BEST, I feel that the one fallacy that is being invested in is the idea that a blog is fundamentally academic.
Well, it can be, but not the way yours is written.
And the title post of how to reach an audience through blogging can be taken differently.
You have potential, instead of writing about it like it's a cookbook, with ingredients, method and conclusion, try taking a look at how other books and articles have reached YOU.
Perhaps, you could look at how the writer's post reached you through common ground as both of you had a difficult childhood, or both of you have a child who is dysexic.
Or perhaps it hit you on a spiritual level, or by enlightenement on a subject you had buried in you and could only speak about after reading his/her post.
Try and see that not all answers are correct just because they are copybook.
