I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what makes a good blog post about my photography. I’d like to share some of the things that I think are important to consider when writing about your photography.
1. Know Your Audience
You’re writing a blog post for an audience. You want to know who your audience is and what they want to get out of your post. If yu don’t know your audience, it’s going to be hard to know what to write about. You’ll have to do some research to figure out what your audience wants to read about. If your blog post is only about you and your photography, then you’l have a hard time getting people to read it. Your audience is going to want to hear about you, but they also want to learn something new. They want to be inspired by your work, but also learn how to improve their own photography. You need to find a balance between telling your story and giving your audience something to take away from the post. You also need to make sure that what you write about is something that your audience will want to read. For example, if your blog is about landscape photography, you might not want to write a post about photographing a sunset because your audience might not be interested in that type of photography. Make sure that you know who you are writing for and what you want them to learn from your posts. This will help you to write better blog posts that will be more likely to be read and shared by your audience.
2. Know What You Want To Write About
Before you start writing your post, you need to have a clear idea of what it is that you want to talk about. What do you want your readers to learn? What are you trying to accomplish with your photography? What is the purpose of your blog? Is it to share your photography with the world, or is it to help your audience improve their photography?
3. Write About What You Know
Your blog post should be about something that you are an expert on. You should be able to answer any questions that your readers might have about the topic that you have chosen. If there is a question that you don’t know the answer to, it might be a good idea to do a little research to find out the answer. You don’t want to sound like a know-it-all, but you do want to provide your readers with the information that they need to learn more about your topic.
4. Keep It Short
If you have a lot to say about a topic, try to keep it to a few paragraphs. You can always add more information to your post later, but if you write too much in the beginning, your readers are going to lose interest and move on to the next post.
5. Make It Easy To Read
Make sure that your post is easy to read and understand. If it’s hard to read, then your readers will have a harder time understanding what you are trying to say.
6. Make Sure That It’s Not Too Long
It’s important to keep your blog posts short, but it’s also important to not make your posts too short. Your readers will lose interest if they can’t find enough information in your post to keep them reading.
7. Don’t Repeat Yourself
Don’t write the same thing over and over again. It’s okay to repeat a point, but don’t do it in the same way that you made the point the first time. It will make your post seem boring and uninteresting to your readers.
8. Proofread
Read your post over a few times before you publish it. You might think that you wrote a great post, but when you read it out loud, you’ll notice that it doesn’t sound as good as you thought it did.
9. Include Links
Include links to other pages on your blog that are related to the post that you’re writing about. This is a great way to get more traffic to your blog and increase the number of people that are reading your blog.
10. Include Images
Images are one of the most important things that you can include in a post. They help to break up the text and make it easier for people to understand what you’re saying.
11. Include Videos
Videos are another great way of breaking up text and helping your readers understand your point. Videos can also be a lot of fun to watch, so you might want to include a few of them in your posts as well.
12. Include Quotes
Quotes are great for adding emphasis to a point. They can also help to give your post a personal touch.
13. Include Humor
Humor can be very effective at breaking up the monotony of reading a long post. It can also make you seem more approachable and likable.
14. Include A Call To Action
A call to action is a message that tells your readers what they should do after they’ve finished reading the blog post. This can be something as simple as telling them to subscribe to your email list, or it can be as complicated as asking them to buy a product from your online store.
15. Include Contact Information
Always include contact information at the end of your posts so that people can get in touch with you if they have any questions or comments.
16. Include Tags
Tags are a way of categorizing your posts and making it easier to find them later. They are also a good way of organizing your blog so that it’s easier for readers to find the posts that they are looking for.
17. Include Social Media Buttons
You can include social media buttons at the bottom of your post so that readers can share your post with their friends on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites.
18. Include Calls To Action In Your Posts
Calls to action are messages that tell your readers where they can go to find more information about a particular topic. Calls to action can be in the form of a button that leads to a page on your website, or they can be links to pages on other websites.
19. Make Your Posts Easy To Find
When you write a blog post, it’s important that you make it easy to find later. Include links to your posts in your email signature, on your social media pages, and on the pages of your website.
20. Include Comments
Comments are another way of getting feedback from your readers and letting them know that you care about what they think.
21. Be Consistent
Be consistent in your blogging. If you write one post a week, then you should write another post every week.
