That’s half the marketing battle. I find myself getting bored half to death with most blog posts.

Heck, sometimes I wish somebody would just curse once in a while in their blog posts…

As long as it’s relevant cursing.

It gave me a lot of ideas on choosing the right opening for my future post. I think opening is the most important thing on a blog post after the title. Once the reader interested in the opening, they will continue reading and participate in the discussion.

Based on your comment, I’ve just checked out Jon Morrow and Guest Blogging. Wow… He sounds like the John Carlton of blogging, and inspirational for a number of other reasons.

I’d like to learn more, so I’ve signed up for Jon’s introductory video. I’ve got a sense that this will be a serious financial investment, but the feedback on Jon’s page speaks volumes for his quality of teaching.

Anything further to add?

Many thanks,

Matthew

The good part is, it’s all in it’s own modules and they’re already released so you can do it at your own pace.

I loaded up all of the videos on my iphone so I can bring them with me. Having the course portable is good and it’s Amazing what you can learn when you’re on a bathroom break ;-P

Let me know if you’re really interested in joining. I’m an affiliate and was part of the very first group that did the course, so I’d love to help you get in 🙂

Read fiction, read other blogs, read the news paper or other news stories.

Deep read into an article in a magazine. Don’t just read what’s written, but also between the lines.

Hopefully that helps 🙂

Sometimes it seems like people are in their own little world and disturbing it is the fun part.
