<html> <p>Want people to read right down to the bottom and to the end of your post? Supply them catchy intrigues.</p> <p><img src="https://s20.postimg.org/g0vrnyy5p/Artists_website.jpg" width="320" height="226"/></p> <h1>Blogging is like writing books. </h1> <ol> <li>The title of the book must be dynamic. </li> <li>The quality and colour of the image on the cover must have emotional impact. </li> <li>Your first sentence (introduction) must be a grand statement to <strong>instantly get people’s attention and offer an intriguing fact</strong>. </li> <li>Your first paragraph (sub-heading or content listing) <strong>sets the scene and stirs expectations</strong>. </li> <li>The first page mustn’t be boring: People tend to close the book when they discover it has long-winded descriptions<strong>.</strong> Rather,<strong> action and animated dialogue</strong> quickly sets the scene and grips people’s imagination<strong>.</strong> </li> <li><strong>Questions </strong>put forward at the beginning,<strong> set firmly in people’s minds</strong> and provide a debate or problems that need answers to. </li> <li>The first chapter (paragraph of the blog) setups the <strong>drama of the plot and introduces the main characters</strong>. </li> <li> There must be a variance of characters’ temperaments. Good, dynamic, fascinating personalities. Including funny persons who make silly `cheekery’ remarks. (Sorry, the word `cheekery’ is our peculiar family jargon, used to describe exultant cheeky statements, that provokes chuckles and uplifts the soul. Our family is always ready for a laugh or to initiate it). </li> <li>Within each chapter there should be one or two <strong>intriguing facts to keep one reading on and on. </strong>And make a<strong> dramatic remark</strong> at the end of each chapter that will <strong>build tension and profound desire to read on,</strong> well into the next chapter. </li> <li>The whole story must give people a <strong>sense of adventure</strong>. The plot provides a road map, from one situation to another… keeping the flow of interest, as concepts are absorbed, analysed and valuated. </li> <li>At the end of the book (blog) people expect a <strong>conclusive declaration</strong> that will round up the plot with a happy (and beneficial) ending. </li> </ol> <h1>The mood of the book (blog):</h1> <p>Remember your readers are humans. Select topics and conversations that people like and feel comfortable with. Yet provide intriguing concepts that make people <strong>desire and need</strong> answers to. </p> <p>Write in such a way that people feel they’re part of the adventure. Supplying easy to understand situations they can relate to. </p> <p>Your enthusiasm and mood is felt, because of the way you write and the jargon you use. Because you have experienced certain things in life you are more able to express the developments and passions of those moments in time. </p> <h1>On the best sellers list!</h1> <ul> <li>If your books weren’t selling: You have to promote them with enthusiasm (clickable headlines and sub-headings). And then give them what you have suggested in your promotion. Then they will start `selling-like-hot-cakes’. </li> <li>Remember you readers’ involvement is important. Their word of mouth (comments) confirms the book was fantastic and authentically successful. </li> </ul> </html>
