While it’s always good to be creative and innovative to the utmost in all types of writing (especially blogging), you will also do well to remember that there are several writing standards (or best practices) that you should conform to. These 11 practices detailed here may not apply to every single industry/niche, but implementing the majority of them will greatly benefit your overall writing. 1. Use Images Pictures speak a thousand words! Don’t be afraid to frequently insert images into your post where they would do better than any line of text.

If you find the whole image finding and crediting process a bit daunting, then be sure Clean Email to check out this quick ‘n’ easy Writtent Academy guide. 2. Don’t be Afraid to be Controversial I’m sure you’ve all heard before that if you try to please everybody, you’ll end up pleasing no one. Don’t dumb down your blog posts into complete objectivity. Take a stance on a topic, and stay true to it (no matter what hot-headed commentators say).

Infuse Personality into Posts Blogging is virtual. It’s not like a speech, where the speaker can put in sarcasm, personality, and other speaking techniques as they see fit. With blogging, you have to infuse personality into your posts if you want any chance of getting return readers. 4. Find and Stick to a Voice Once you’ve established your personality in a blog post, you’ll find that you will also have a specific voice.
