Writing Blog Posts that Suck Readers In
Just few years ago I met one of my friends who told me that he had so many ideas about nightclub business that he wants to put on his blog, but whenever he tries to write something on his blog, his hands seem to become paralyzed for some unknown reason.
Do you have a similar problem? You see, most people have several great ideas inside their minds which can bring fortune worth millions of dollars out of nothing! But unless you share those ideas with others in a coherent manner, your readers won't stay on your blog for long!
The problem with most people is that they don't know how to turn their abstract ideas into concrete pieces of writing! They don't know how simple it is; all you need is just a little bit of knowledge and practice. If you are looking for a way to improve your writing skill then read this article. Who knows, it could prove to be the most important article you have ever read this year!
Don't Think Too Much and Just Write
The first thing you need to do is to start the process of writing itself! Don't think too much about perfect grammar, spelling or any of those kinds of technical things. It is your IDEA that you want to convey to your reader, rather than your knowledge about linguistics or your writing expertise.
In fact, if you have ever read some of those top selling books, there are a lot of errors in grammar and spelling. But that's what makes your readers like you; you are not writing for technical paper or medical science journal; instead, you are writing for your best friend and average Joe and Betty.
Have a Catchy Title
I once read in a marketing magazine that you get no more than 10 seconds to captivate your reader's interest and attention! This means that, if you couldn't catch their attention within 10 seconds, they would move on to another blog. Therefore, it is essential to have a catchy title for your blog post that would attract their interest.
Learn from real life examples by looking at some of the best seller books on amazon.com. Try to mimic how the author writes the title! Once you become good at creating catchy titles, you can develop your own writing style.
Pay special attention to the following words and try to include as many of them as you can in your title: how to, tips, secret, money, sex, power, etc.
Keep Practicing
Learning the art of writing effective and captivating blog posts is no different than learning how to ride a bicycle. As with any new skill that you learn, you need to keep practicing it over and over again in order to master it!
I remember my first bicycle lesson; I was so lousy that I would get several scars every day. Eventually, after several months of training and a lot of mistakes, I've gotten very good at it. The same holds true for writing! Keep practicing it and eventually you too will become an expert at it!

5 Sure-Fire Strategies to Get Strong Backlinks To Your Blog
Have a blog? What is the purpose of your blog? Making money, sharing ideas, online diary? Whatever the purpose of your blog is, you need readers, right, or else what is the point in writing all of those blog posts?
Few months ago, I stumbled across one very good blog, full of great ideas and resources. For my own interest, I decided to check the traffic rank of the blog at Alexa.com. To my surprise, the blog was unknown even to Alexa.com! What was wrong? Then, I tried to check the backlinks on Google; no single link was received by the blog. That reminded me of the importance of link building.
No matter how great your blog is, nobody will read it if no one finds you. And to make people find you, you need links, it is that simple. Let's take a look at the 5 easy ways you can increase you backlinks:
Tip No 1 – Build Your Presence on Forums
I like this method. It is quick and easy. Basically, all you need to do is answer people's questions on forums related to your expertise and put some signatures referring to your blog at the end of the post.
Tip No 2 – Write Article
It has been said that content is the king. Write as much content as you can, and spread it across various article directories, or even better, give the article for free to your local newsletter or electronic magazine. You might not get paid first, but the authority figure you would become would pay you off eventually many times.
Tip No 3 – Get Links from Directories
Getting links from directories is easy and fast. Some of the best directories out there are free. But if you have some budgets, it is advisable to pay for several high rank directories. In that way, the big search engines will acknowledge your blog's presence and your blog will start to show up on various search engine results.
Tip No 4 – Build Friendship with Fellow Bloggers
Build friendship with fellow bloggers who have the same expertise as you. Remember that two are better than one. You can find blogs with related topics through Google or Technorati! Chances are that there are thousands of blogs that have the same subjects, which in turn means thousands of potential backlinks for you!
Tip No 5 – Use Viral Marketing
Last but not the least; use viral marketing. What does it mean? Create something unique! Giveaway a lot of free stuff that your readers would find helpful! When people like your blog they are more than willing to tell their friends, families and co-workers about you and your blog.
