10 Killer Points on How to Write a Remarkable Post

10 Killer Points on How to Write a Remarkable Post

Words!

No tweaking, no scientific theory or complex algometric calculations involved.

Following is my simple straightforward 10 point checklist that I use to help me write a remarkable post. Using the right words to write a remarkable post will among other things help you to achieve the following goals:

  • Help you make a sell.
  • Attract and keep citizens.
  • Become an expert in your niche.
  • And blah, blah…this and that!

My 10 Killer points on how to write a remarkable post.

1.) Be yourself.

This post is another injustice to the blogsphere.

How to…10 sure fire tips…Discover…Proven strategy, all of this will ultimately kill you right on your track! Chasing after the wind, so they say. Be careful.

You will never succeed in following what other successful people are doing. If you do come close, you end up being a follower and a copycat.

A remarkable way to write a killer post is to be yourself.

If you have something to write about and most of us do, then write it - the way you belief, not the way other belief it should be written like!

2.) Venture

Get out and venture on what is happening around, within and without your space.

Read other post of your interests. Read other posts that make you wannabe the next big thing. Read posts that make you sleep. Read posts that make you laugh and yes! Those that make you cry…You get the picture.

Don’t forget to research.

Discover great posts, websites, blogs, tools and:

Identify successful, aspiring and sorry writers in your field and learn from them.

3.) Write.

Write a single post a day. Write a couple of posts a day. Write a few more posts a day. Write more again, write until you feel you are almost dropping dead!

When you feel it’s becoming too much, write a couple more posts again.

If you can’t handle, befriend an editorial editor of any local newspaper and publicly or privately interview then about their career, tribulations and eventual rise to the hot seat. That will be enough to get you going for another hundred or so more post.

4.) Get Over It.

Another spelling mistake! One more grammatically not correct sentence!

So you spent two extra more hours trying to tweak and edit your post.

And did you just toss off that post? Not too good, aha!

I will tell you what – Get over it. Perfectionism is dangerous.

It’s a game that “thou shall you not play”

Have you not discovered the secret? Know this today, just like most good, pretty and wonderful ladies like but can’t handle too nice of a gentleman; so is a perfect post.

Being perfect and too good is boring!

They call it the World Wide Web, your perfect grammar on your world will be imperfect to me and my world. You can’t please everybody.

5.) Stupid! It’s about the reader.

There is a wrong connotation between the use of “YOU” and “I”

Your job is simple.

  • Be reader centered. The use of “You”

Now this is big, I must tell you it’s like a wide topic with two faces on each side, kind of like a coin. On one side of the coin when all is said and finished, the cornerstone and starting point is here.

On the flip side, the other face of the coin is all about being:

  • Self centered. The use of “I”

Most will tell you this is a no-no go zone. I disagree.

Unless of course you are in the business of being another charitable organization, ultimately the goal is to make that sale, for me, by making use of words that sell.

6.) Break it Down.

Use engaging titles and subheadings.

Don’t forget to also use bulletins, bolds, italics, different fonts and…

7.) Don’t be Wikipedia.

Leave it for the politicians, academicians and scientists.

As a consequence of the elongated comprehensive, exhaustive and methodological research the chief biological engineer and astronomical experts conclusively all consent that miniature chemical and biological atoms…Oh please!

Unless you are in the business of competing with Wikipedia and online dictionaries, you are more likely to succeed with a more conversational post that identifies with the tone and conversation style of your visitors.

Most surfers still do prefer simple posts that are conversational in nature, like this one – how to write a remarkable post, simple isn’t it?

8.) Vary your Post Style.

Be brief.

Write short sentences.

Write a short post. Post a picture if you have one.

Write a long post; break it down to distinctive sentences and paragraphs.
Include your own videos or use other people videos.

Always remember to alternate. Long. Short. Boring.  Fun. Educative. Bogus. And so forth and so on.

9.) proofread

That is it.

Read over your post. Read one more time before you post. Read after you post. Then read again a few days later. You may catch one more thing or probably you will never get to, ouch! Even the president with all his staff is at times caught on the wrong side, is he? There will always be that one thing, at least to a few readers!

If this is too boring, and you have the resources hire someone to do it for you.

10.) Be positively charged.

No whining! Stop complaining.

What is the matter with you…stop blaming others. Why? Why? Why?

Over the years I have learned to subtract and add to their success secrets and the law of attraction to arrive at my present state of mind, that a whole lot of people like and get attracted to materials and people who through character and words are fun, happy, thankful, mindful, friendly, caring…

Let your post emulate most if not all the positive traits of humanity.

Kinetic state.

I know, did I just go over, 10 was the stopping point, right?

Pardon me! May I please write one more points on how to write a remarkable post?

In college I learned about Kinetic energy – That at this state, particles are always in a state of movement, if I can still recall correctly, from a layman’s description.

So should be your quest to write a killer remarkable post.

This means number 10 on the list is denoted as: 10 + kinetic state = 11 which in turn is equal to; 11 + kinetic state = 12 which in turn is equal to… (This is getting too complex)

In other words:

Keep it real, true and simple.

How To Write A Remarkable Blog Post

A lot of time we all like to complicate matters than we need to. I have read countless posts on how to write a remarkable blog post. You will be surprised to discover that in reality your site visitors are only interested in reading about simple posts that are beneficial to them.

Seth Godin post little bits, expounds more on this subject.

How about the ever controversial programs, tactics and software’s that promise to deliver hundreds and millions of visitors to your site each day? How I wish you knew!

Wrong strategy.

A better strategy would be to use Darren Rowse, 21 ways to make your blog or website sticky regardless of the amount of traffic you are receiving now. With time this strategy could pay big dividends in the near future.

How about this?

Successful content relies on the hook, the angle, the tiny little element no one else takes time to notice. It’s not that others are more talented than you, it’s that they work harder finding the winning difference.

A more interesting way on how to write a remarkable blog post is to be a die-hard follower of coach potato. Now if you still haven’t heard about coach potato, then sit tight. You are in for a long one, here is the full post about coach potato.

Analytical Skills.

Finally, be careful on what you read out there and how you relate two things together before you make a conclusive decision. Not everything you read is final. For instance my post today on how to write a remarkable blog post is neither final nor is it conclusive.

Perhaps developing an analytical skill on how to think critically when relating the cause and effect of an action could be your ticket to writing a better post that is remarkable.

How to be a Remarkable Affiliate Marketer.

You goal must always to be a remarkable affiliate marketer. Let me re-word that again to drive the point home, with the prevailing competition, you affiliate marketing business must be remarkable.

Seth Godin is a remarkable guy and he is one of the most successful remarkable marketers that I know. Here is a very interesting video by Seth Godin that any affiliate marketer must watch, understand and strive to emulate.

Key points from Seth Godin video of sliced bread.

Success is not just about what the product is about, rather it has to do more about being able to spread the idea or being very effective at promoting the right product to the right people. Talk of niche marketing!

There are way too many choices every where you turn to or look at.

Consumers and most of your site visitors don’t care about you. Do you know how many affiliate marketers are promoting any given product at any given time, all with the intent of competing for that particular customer’s attention? It’s obvious:

Your affiliate marketing business must be remarkable.

Wrong thing to do:

  • Investing all your efforts in interrupting your audience with all kinds of advertisement all over the internet. That is the old way.

Right thing to do:

  • Understanding the long tail concept and its power to spread your idea, product or service.

How To Write For Your Human Visitors.

If there is one thing that most serious affiliate marketers, bloggers and webmasters are guilt of then it is one - always trying to write a well optimized post / page for the search engines at the cost and neglect of their human visitors!

Of course we could all love to write a post or page that gets immediately picked up by the search engine bots and then quickly gets indexed and rises to the top of the search engine result for a given keyword.

So how do you get to write a well optimized page for human your human visitors?

Our friend Steve Pavlina has an answer for us. If you are still wondering who the heck this guy is, then off record:

Steve Pavlina is the guy who has managed to create one of the best and leading self growth development and conscious living website on the internet. He started writing articles and then blogging on the internet long before a whole lot of us knew how to:

If you want to write to your visitors, then you will have to learn and develop your writing skills. Writing a good page that resonates with your site visitors is a delicate skill that takes time to master.

Now it’s important to remember that you can only be able to write effectively only if you have a particular niche in mind that you are catering for. It is increasingly becoming very hard to a wide generic mass. Leave that for yahoo.com or about.com which are massive sites with huge resources at their disposal.

According to Brian Clark, there are ten persuasive writing techniques that can help you write a great captivating post:

  1. Repetition,
  2. Reasons why,
  3. Consistency,

  5. Comparison,

Regardless of which niche you choose, 99% chances are that there are others who have also discovered the same niche. Each post you publish will be received by hundreds or thousands more posts with the same similar information as yours.

For example if you are an affiliate marketer chances are that for any post that you want to write for your human visitors promoting any of your best affiliate programs, the obvious scenario is that there will be other affiliate marketers promoting the same product or service.

Therefore the question is how do you write a post that people will actually get to read irrespective of all the other posts with almost the same product, service or content as yours?

Don’t worry, the pdf report is only 4 pages long, it discusses 7 factors that you should have in mind as you go about to write for your human visitors.

Miss U.S.A Video - The Great Fall.

Miss U.S.A Video - The Great Fall.

I have just finished watching Miss U.SA video on Youtube, the same scene that was shown on CNN and played in most television networks across the country and all over the world and also circulated over the internet.

What a great fall, and a quick make over by the pretty queen of beauty!

But as I replayed this video over several times it suddenly dawned and something suddenly became very clear to me. Here is the video, hit play to watch Miss U.S.A video – the great fall.

Suite yourself, hit play to watch it over again but this time round take note on how she takes the fall with self confidence and then how she quickly recomposes herself and takes those gracious steps once again as if nothing happened!

This is my take home lesson that I have learned from her fall.

It don’t matter how you fall.

What matters most is how you take the fall and most important what you do after that. That, my friend is what separates success from failure.

My 2 cents to your internet affiliate marketing success.
