Money From Blogging

What is a good blog post ?
I would say a blog post is good if it is informative, well-written, specific to the topic. In my opinion, a blog post is different than article, a news story or an essay. Bloggers may not be necessarily a good writer, or a language expert. But he must be knowledgeable on the topic he is writing and express his knowledge clearly in his bog post. For example, a beginner may not write a good blog post on Make Money by Blogging or Search Engine Optimisation, as he is not expert on that!
A good post will have no grammatical mistakes, spelling mistakes and no vague or ambiguous statements. An expert on a subject may not necessarily write a good post on the subject! Even a person who is learning the subject may write a good post about it!

How to write a good blog post ?
Everybody wants to write good post and fill his or her blogs with good posts and expect them to be popular. By popular I mean, read by many people. Number of views or number of comments may not be a good statistics of how many times people read the post, thanks to SEO, Directory Linking, Social Book Marking etc.
To write a good post, try to gather as many information as you can over the topic. Read them, understand them. Then write in your own language the way as you would have explained things to your children.
Put small facts of the topic which are important, but people normally ignore them. This will make your post a special post to read.
Write your own opinion on the topic and let your view be known to people. There may be many article on the same topic, people may already be knowing about it, still they would like to know your opinion on the topic.
End the topic with a closing observation.

Remember, a good post may not be very popular and all popular posts are necessarily good posts.
