Creative Blogging
What is creative blogging? Well, creativity is something that is unique to everyone, so you really have to find your own personal slant on it. However, there are some ways to make your blogs creative, as opposed to typical, generic or boring. For one thing, consider the purpose of your blog. If you are a creative writer, whether poet, fiction or essay writer, chances are you don’t need to be told how to be a creative blogger! However, suppose your purpose is selling or marketing. Here you have to be careful not to sound like a typical or generic marketer, full of hype and sales talk. Even if you want to sell people something, you have to be an individual telling your own story, giving your personal, unique take on the service, product or idea. Whatever the purpose of your blog, never forget that it is aimed at readers! Your blog is not only for yourself (well it can be, but then it’s not likely to be very interesting to the rest of the world). Before you publish, consider if this might be interesting to you if you were reading it for the first time. One thing to remember is that you should not assume your readers know all of the details about the subject you’re blogging on (unless you are working in a very specialized community, that is, where a certain level of expertise or knowledge is assumed). You should explain jargon, such as found in fields such as computers, math, engineering, rock climbing, music or whatever your topic is. Finally, give your readers a way to look for more information, either from you or elsewhere. This can be a link, or a promise to write more in the future. Keep these in mind, and you are well on the way to becoming a creative blogger!
