In today’s digital world,
blogging has become the
one of the effective ways
of communicating and
networking among
students,
professionals,businessmen
, public official, etc.
In other words, blogging
has become an
indispensable medium of
communication. In the
same manner, blogging can
be used effectively for
academic purposes.
According to Richardson
(2006) , the used of blogs
has been an engaging and
effective way to promote
writing skills of primary
students, particularly when
student peers provide
feedback to the blog.
What is Blog?
A shortened form of
weblog, blogs are personal
journal websites. Usually
readers of a blog can post
comments.
In making Blog
Remember to:
1. Be short and direct

“Want to maximize sharing

of your content on
Facebook? Here are seven
tips that are sure to help.”
2. Ask a thought-
provoking question.
“What do people say
about you when you’re not
around?”
3.Ask a Multiple Choice
Question.
“Pop quiz. Which of these do you
agree with?
1.Intelligence is fixed at birth.
2.Some people are creative,
others aren’t.
3.You can become a world-class
expert through enough practice,
whatever your starting point.
4.You can change your personality.
 “If you agreed with the first
two statements, you’re coming
from a fixed mindset. If you
agreed with the second two,
you’ve got a growth mindset.”
4. Share shocking fact
or statistic.
“Workers distracted by
email and phone calls suffer
a fall in IQ more than twice
that found in marijuana
smokers, new research has
claimed.”
5.Share something
personal.
“I was recently diagnosed with
testicular cancer. Yes, the
dreaded c word. It’s probably
not what you are thinking. I
don’t look at this health issue as
an anchor. I look at this as an
opportunity for growth.”
6. Withhold a
Compelling Piece of
Information.
“What if I said that every
TV network, movie, blog,
book, and other forms of
media use this same tactic?
7.Refute conventional
wisdom.

“What if I said that every

TV network, movie, blog,
book, and other forms of
media use this same tactic?
8. Lead with a success
story.
“When we started our business 16
months ago we decided to use a
blog as the central marketing tool
for our business.
We did it because we didn’t really
have any money for advertising
and we never really believed that
attending networking events
would work for us.
We placed the blog at the center
of our website and only had one
commodity on our hands to make
it a success….time.
9. Start With a
Reader’s Question
“Darren, do you have any tips for
creating more content for my
blog? I have grown my blog to
become reasonably successful but
as it grows find myself with more
and more requests and questions
from readers that take me away
from writing content. What
should I do?”
10.Share a quote

“It’s not about ideas.

It’s about making ideas
happen.”
THAT’S ALL THANK YOU
AND GODBLESS 
