How to Write a Great Blog Post

Every blogger understands that it’s hard to produce great posts. Sometimes you make one, sometimes you’re almost there, but most times it’s never that great. What does it take to make compelling, engaging, and informative posts; in other words, a great blog post?

Great, good, killer, it’s always subject to how we perceive something as great. We all know what is great when we see one. I, on the other hand, refuse to call it as “great”. I’d rather call it “quality” since it’s a lot easier to define it that way.

Based on the research that I’ve made before I wrote this post and on my own understanding of what is great or quality, I came up with these 10 tips on how to write “great” or “quality” posts.

• Make a terrific headline – Before anything else, people will have to read the headline or title of your post. That’s where their eyes first land in order to make sense of the post. Due to this, make your headline reflect what people will see in your content or post. Be catchy, make them ask and feel the need to read your content without feeling disconnected and confused.


• Write with passion – Write like it counts. Make people understand what you really mean. When you’re passionate about what you’re doing, you’ll be consistent all throughout while enjoying at it. You’ll be able to voice out your opinions clearly and people will know what you think.


• Don’t forget your sense of humor – What people hates the most are people who makes things so heavy and boring. It’s ok if you don’t laugh but make sure that they laugh while you’re at it. I don’t know but in most cases people like it and easily buys it if it’s light and funny. Of course, humor doesn’t mean making a clown of yourself.


• Tell a story – People love an engaging story. Now, you don’t want to tell a long story but a short and catchy anecdote that illustrates your main point. By telling a story and painting them a vivid detail of what you want to say in their minds, you will often get your reader wanting to read more.


• Write Less – Ever heard of the saying “less is more”? It’s not applicable in some cases but when it comes to blogs writing less often gets more people to read it. Some people say its best to keep it under 500 words, others would say 800 and still some would insist that it’s 250. I say you’ll know when it’s long enough. When you encounter a blog post that spans 5 to10 times your monitor’s height, intimidates you to read it, and makes you wanna look for another post, now that’s definitely a LOOOONG post. A long post is easier to forget and harder to get into. A short post is the opposite.


• Keep it Simple – Avoid jargons and complicated terminologies. Avoid complex sentence and thought structures. Not all your readers share the same intellect as you. Make your thoughts easy to understand. Use the simplest possible word and sentence structure but not at the cost of over-simplifying it. Also, avoid very long descriptive sentences that will eventually mislead your reader. Cut to the chase and get to the point.


• Make your posts easy to scan – Use sub headings if possible to better understand the flow of thought in the post. Use white spaces to avoid strain on the eyes and intimidation. Use bullet point lists to convert your information into an easily digestible format. Don’t forget to use quotes, bold text and italics for emphasis on words and phrases.


• Litter the post with keywords – These keywords will help readers search for your post easily. Think of keywords that are relevant to your post and place them seamlessly within your body text and headers.


• Link out to outside sources – Link prodigiously. Link to any other blog, website, and materials on other sites that you mentioned in your blog. This will help your readers understand what you’re talking about.


• Proof read your post – Before you hit the submit button, take a few minutes to re-read your post and check for wrong spelling and grammar. If the need arises, restructure or rewrite your post once again if you feel that it‘s not working.

In all of the tips listed, I remember my “cadet military training” days. We have a motto back then when relaying a message to our superiors: “Use the three Cs. Be Clear, Complete, and Concise”. I guess it’s also true for blogging.

Choosing a Profitable Niche

Choosing your niche or the theme of your blog is one of the very important concerns that you must address when starting your blog. Even for those who aren’t interested in monetizing their blogs, the right niche will often determine your performance in writing your blog and the potential audience you will draw-in to your site.

There is no harm in blogging about whatever you feel like when you are blogging for fun. But always put into mind that people will also be just visiting your blog for fun. There is no potential growth in such effort since what if you’re no longer fun? Or people no longer feel that it’s fun to read your blog. Eventually, you’ll just be blogging to yourself as your audience will go spend their time reading something more informative, more focused, and a lot more fun than your blog.

Your niche determines how long you can last in the blogging business. With the right theme for your blog, it’ll take a long time before you run out of things to say. There will always be fresh content every time. When you easily get bored in updating your blog, it’s obvious that the theme you chose isn’t the right niche for you. If you can’t seem to update your blog enough to cover all the news and events about your topic, then maybe you’ve got a very broad niche that needs narrowing even further.

Obviously, your blog will neither be profitable nor workable when you’re blogging the wrong niche for you. You’ll be wasting your time and effort pouring your thoughts on something that literally doesn’t work at all.

How to choose a Profitable Niche to Blog About?

Basically, we could sum it all into 4 steps.

Step #1: Brainstorm Your Blog Topic

What interests you? It’s always important to start with this question. Know what subjects can drive you to the ends of the earth to blog about it. Knowing what you’re passionate about is important in the long term stability of your blog. This will build the momentum that will catapult you onto the peak of blogging success.

Narrow your interests. It can’t be avoided to have a lot of interests popping in your head. But try imagining yourself blogging about it after several years. Can you see yourself still breathing and living its air? Remove the topics which you think seem too toxic for you to be in after years and years of talking about it. By now you should have as few topics as possible.

Don’t be too narrow. Okay, I said be narrow but don’t tighten it so much that you eventually squeeze the living juice out of it. It’s also important to spare some room for expansion. When your topic becomes too singled-out, eventually you will run out of things to say or build around it.

Don’t be too restrictive about narrowing your topic. Give room for a little creativity. If you have several topics that you can’t really get-off your head, why not try combining them and come-up with a really unique concept. Or perhaps, build a catch phrase or a cause which revolves around the remaining concepts.

Also, try to find related articles or sources about it. It’s going to be your fuel for the rest of your blogging career. Let’s admit it; we’re not an all knowing guru about our chosen niche/niches or a walking encyclopedia for that matter. We’ll eventually need a source of knowledge to get, verify, and/or base our knowledge upon with the things we’ll be babbling about from time to time. If there ain’t any around, well, it’s time to replace that niche in your head.

Step #2: Assess the Traffic Potential of Your Topic

Know how many people are looking for the topic or theme you have. If there’s only a few who are searching for it, logically, there will also be a few people who will visit your blog. Better check the topics you have if they can provide you with lots of traffic. Unless it’s a personal blog which you only share with family members and close offline and online friends, your aim for building a blog is to reach as many people as possible; and that’s a fact. If your blog whispers to nothing but air since nobody cares if it’s updated or not, your blog can’t be called profitable (at all).

There are available tools online to help you search for the traffic potential of your topic. Here’s what I’m using:

• Free keywords suggestion tool – This is a free version of Wordtracker. Just type in a keyword (your topic) in the search box then hit enter and it will give you numbers of searches made about it along with related keywords. The numbers serve as your guide for the actual search volume of the topic you have at hand. The length of the list determines how deep you can go with this specific topic and also how many keywords you can effectively target for traffic. This is an important point: Never focus exclusively on the main niche keyword but the overall search depth for the niche topic.
• Goggle analytics – This is another free keyword tool which gives you graphic data of the search volumes on specific keywords instead of numbers. Although you can’t exactly tell how many searches are made on a particular keyword, Google trends can help you see its search volume within a specific month, year, within the last 12 months, or within the last 30 days.
• SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool – This is a new keyword tool I’ve discovered lately. What it does is it provides overall daily estimates of a keywords search volume including the three major search engines: Google, Yahoo, and MSN. It provides other keyword suggestions related to your topic with its corresponding search volumes, and links to other keyword suggestion tools based on the topic you used.

Step #3: Assess the Competition

Besides the traffic, it’s also important to know if there are also others who have thought of the niche you are eyeing at. Obviously, nowadays, it’s often difficult and close to impossible to find a niche that’s going to be exclusively available for you since more and more websites are created everyday; and more and more people are probably looking at the same direction as you.

Try to find out which of the topics you have at hand have less competition. The less competition the better your blog will perform since there will only be a few of you whose going to share the traffic.

Or, if you really feel determined to pursue the topic and go head on against an overcrowded competition, try to find an approach that others haven’t gone through yet. Search engines especially Google becomes handy here. Try searching for questions related to your niche. Refine your search each time and see if there are some questions that barely have any answers. You can work on that to give you a fair advantage in the competition.

Alternatively, you can add a different flavor to your topic. This is where the creativity I’m talking about in the first step comes-in. A more novel approach can either break the competition in your favor or give you more advantage compared to others. One good example is adding your own artwork in each of your posts. It might not be much but it adds a whole new dimension to your blog.

Step #4: Determine the Blog’s Money Making Potential

Basically, your target here is to know how much your revenue generating ads will perform against the traffic you’re drawing in. You have to understand that not all advertisers are willing to pay a considerable amount of money on certain keywords such as your topic. Some keywords will yield you more revenue than others. Of course, this is not your problem once again if you puke at the very sight of ads in your priceless blog. But if you’re into blogging because you wish to earn something, it’s best that you pay attention to these matters.

Tools you can use here:

• One quick and easy method you can use to help determine a blog’s money making potential is to go to Google or Yahoo and do a search for your primary keywords. The more advertisers you see paying for sponsored results (PPC) the better. If you don’t see anyone bidding on those keywords then it may be more difficult to monetize your blog but not necessarily impossible.
• Google Adwords Traffic Estimator – Although its results are limited only to adsense, it can also be of use to the other ads (especially the ad networks) you’ll eventually place in your blog. It’s pretty technical to begin with but the only portions I tamper with in its “start page” is the keywords line, the language option, the location set to “countries and territories” and the Countries section which I set into “all”; then I hit the continue button. You can place as many keywords as you want. And in the results page, it will show you the keywords search volume and how the keyword will perform for “adwords”. Forget about the other information you’ll see. You’ll only need to focus on the figures in the estimated average CPC column. The higher the CPC amount, the more the advertiser has to pay and hence you’ll earn more by creating content which reflects the high yielding keyword you entered.
• Google Adwords Keyword Tool – This one’s quite similar to the traffic estimator. The only difference is it will only show you graphic representations instead of numbers. Also it gives you other keyword suggestions which you can also use. Although the other information are also valuable, what you need to watch here is the graphic representation of the advertiser competition. The more advertisers compete for the keyword the more revenue it will yield.

Additional Tips:

One way to know if your niche has an obvious traffic potential is by looking for community activities based on your topic such as other blogs, forums, and discussion boards. If people are discussing your subject area then that is a good sign. Try doing searches in your favorite search engines with something like “(your topic) blog”, “(your topic) forum”, or (your topic) discussion. Replace the (your topic) with your topic.

Also you can do more specific searches inside social communities like forums by typing the syntax “site:(sitename) (your topic)” in Google. Take this for example: site:groups.google.com make money online. After I entered the search syntax, Google registered something like 15,800 results which means that there are 15,000+ instances that making money online has been talked about inside “Google groups”; quite many people talking or perhaps looking to earn online if you ask me.

It might also occur to you that in all the steps above, your niche seem to be a little less profitable. What you can do is perhaps try tweaking your topic. Try the keyword tools once again and try the other keyword suggestions and see if you could stumble upon a better topic which is still related to your topic. Or maybe, perhaps, a better promotional effort can drive traffic to your blog. If you write informative and straight to the point articles based on your chosen niche and you’ve got a good marketing and promotional strategy, then by all means your blog is still bound to work.

Lastly, don’t forget to make sure that you have time for your niche. That’s one of the many ways for you and your blog content to really improve and be profitable.

Starting Your Own Blog

Topics about starting your own blog are rampant in the web. Just try Googling about it and you’ll basically end-up with thousands of results in an instant. It’s more like “choose the path you like” to blogging although some of it, usually those of veterans in the field of blogging, are already tried, tested, and proven to give you a better head start.

Obviously I’m not an expert when it comes to “blogging physics” but I will try to give you some basic ideas and general techniques on starting your own blog which you can always refer back to when you’ve already started. Of course, this is not the golden rule set in stone for you to follow. You can always do your own research to discover other approaches.

How to start your own blog:

• Choose your niche. The first thing you need to consider before starting your own blog is choosing your niche or theme. You can always write about what happened to you from day to day but that’s not going to make your blog interesting unless you’re a porn star where you post about your daily porn activities with pictures and/or videos, or a celebrity. Instead, think about what you like to do, what are you passionate about? This way you’ll never run out of ideas to talk about and you can write regularly about it.



• Find blog platform. I use Blogger as my blogging platform. There are many other blogging platforms out there. Each have their pros and cons. Try to research about them. Basically, what you’ll want to consider in choosing your platform is the freedom to customize it. You may want to have a different look, some pictures here and there, a few advertisement to earn you some extra money, some extra features for your readers, etc.
  
  Another thing also is if you can work on it with less hassle. If it leaves you perplexed every time you publish a material or do something to it, then it’s definitely not good for you.
  
  Consider also if you want those platforms that come for free or those where you’ll have to pay a fee to set-up. Since you’re a beginner, I would recommend those free ones where you could hone you skills in writing. Eventually, when you’ve become good at it and famous enough, you can try migrating to the non-free platform which provides far better services.



• Post post post. Always write regularly and consistently in your blog. When you’re barely posting (writing) anything, then you’ll barely have any reader at all. Try also to avoid deviating from your theme all the time. Although it doesn’t hurt and can sometimes help if you’re posting something not related to your blog’s theme from time to time, doing it all the time will make your readers unable to follow the conversation you’re trying to lead them into.



• Practice writing. Don’t get used to the poor kind of writing style you’re always doing. Eventually, you’ll need to sound more authoritative, direct to the point, and at times humorous. Always assess how you’re writing. There are always mountains of resources online to read on how to write a blog effectively. You’ll know when you’re there when your audience seem to engage easily through the comments.



• Burn your Feeds. Not related to burning in optical discs or burning your blog for real if that’s what you’re thinking. Set up your RSS feeds. This will give your readers a way to pull your content into their “feed readers”. That way they don’t have to visit your blog each time you publish something. They can just open their RSS readers and see your post in there along with the other RSSes they’ve subscribed to.
  
  Most blogging platforms today are offering RSS services so it’s not going to be that hard for you. The only thing left for you to do is to send your RSS feed to FeedBurner. FeedBurner serves as a feed aggregator that offers an easy way for your readers to subscribe to your feeds.
  
  Sign up your feed then they will give you a code for the orange button you usually see in most blogs which you can place in your blog. This button will allow your readers to subscribe to your blog’s posts in as easy as “one-two-three” just by clicking it. FeedBurner will provide instructions on how you can install it easily. They also provide free stat tracking for your feeds where you can monitor how many people have been reading your blog from their feed readers. Signing up for FeedBurner is free, by the way.



• Publicize your blog. Time to promote your blog to the greater public. It’s best to go out public after you’ve produced 5-10 posts already. People are gonna have a better understanding of what your blog is about this way.
  
  Send your blog’s URL to Search Engines. They’ll index your site so people can see you when they begin searching for topics related to your theme or niche. There are many sites providing free submission online. Try this one: metanet.You can also register your blog to blog directories. Give these a try: FuelMy Blog, Blogcatalog.
  
  Before I forget, claim your blog in Technorati. Technorati is an authority on blog ranking. They track and rank your coveted incoming links. The more links the better your rank and the better you’ll be in search engine results.



• Join Communities. Comment on other blogs. Of course, you have to make related comments or they’ll just consider you as spam. When you leave comments, add your blogging address so they can visit you too. Who knows, they might just become your regular readers.
  
  Join forums related to your theme or niche. Here you’ll have the opportunity to share what you know to other people and learn from your fellow forumers as well. When you provide useful information here it can become a potential source of readers and visitors for your blog. Just don’t forget to add your blog’s url in your personal information or in the footer signatures.

Again these are just basic principles about starting a blog. If you wish to get a more comprehensive how to on beginning a blogging career and earning from it I suggest you read Darren’s list of articles about it: Blogging Tips for Beginners | Problogger.com.

Make Money through Blogging

In the past 2 years of my blogging, I haven’t paid so much attention to other revenue streams for blogging besides advertising and so the consequence was a meager earning a month, which is, sad to say, less than $100. My reason was always, I have no time for it (because I’m also doing offline freelance work) or it would be another tedious work for me which, eventually, will land me in a very stressful and complicated situation. I’ve got too much unreasonable excuses which kept me at bay most of the time.

In short, I’ve laid my eggs only in one basket. Yes, you’ve got it right, it’s the Adsense basket. (I’ve also tried a few affiliate programs that I won’t mention here but I removed them since they don’t generate any earnings at all.) I’ve also got one affiliate program still running and Adbrite that generates, well, a small percentage of my income (but still worthwhile). And so for you guys, to avoid the pit falls where I’ve been, I would advice that you should give more time exploring all the possible earning opportunities for your blog and not just stick to one channel of revenue, if you’re really into generating an income from your blog.

After discovering my mistakes, I begin to wonder and begin to search for an answer. How do you add more revenue streams to your blog? It lead me to several articles which eventually brought me to the things I’ve been reading early in my blogging career which I might’ve forgotten along the way and several new stuffs as well.

What I’ve discovered is that basically, you can earn from blogging even without a blog of your own but it really helps if you have one. You can also earn from blogging even if you have little blog traffic and low page rank; but then again, it really really helps if you have a popular and highly visited blog.

Here are some easy ways upon which you can earn from blogging:

Advertising Programs

They are sites that conduct advertising programs for both publishers and advertisers. Advertisers go to them to get their ads running on the web. Publishers, like us bloggers, will then place these ads by the advertisers to our sidebars or anywhere else in our blogs where the visitors will see and decide whether they will try it (click it) or not.

There several types of advertising programs. Cost per click (CPC) advertising gives you a percentage of the ad revenue (or earnings) every time your visitor clicks on the ad in your blog.

Cost per action (CPA) advertising is similar to CPC in a sense that you also earn a percentage from of the ad revenue placed in your blog. The only catch is they’ll only pay you when one of your visitors does an action such as signing-up, downloading, or purchase something instead of just clicking the ad.

Cost per thousand impressions (CPM) is different from CPC or CPA. Advertisers pay a certain amount for every thousand impression their ad makes. It doesn’t mean that you won’t earn if you don’t get a thousand impressions. It just means you’d still earn an amount every time their ads show up in your blog, the more the better.

Advertising programs work best if you have many visitors. Adsense, Adbrite, Bidvertiser, Yahoo Publisher Network, WidgetBucks, and Text Link Ads are just a few of its examples.

RSS Advertisements

Actually, it’s just another advertising program that could have a CPC, CPA, or CPM. The only difference is that it shows up not in your blog but in your feeds. Earning a considerable amount from this form of advertising requires that you also have a considerable amount of feed readers. So if you have a lot of new visitors getting into your blog and quite many loyal readers, then you’re in good hands.

I haven’t tried it yet since I’m still having second thoughts about it as it might scare away some of my readers; but I’m hearing some bloggers earning a lot from this form of advertising. Perhaps I’ll try it out on this blog’s feed later on when I finally have sufficient readers to apply it upon.

Feedburner.com, Feedvertising, Pheedo, and Kanoodle are some of the online networks that are offering RSS advertisements.

Affiliate Programs

Yes, there are virtually countless upon countless of them scattered all throughout the web. They are companies, networks, blogs, and all sorts of revenue generating sites that offer commissions to affiliates that send traffic and sales to their site or network.

Bloggers can become an affiliate and start pasting html or javascript codes with their respective id code (which the affiliate program or network will automatically provide) into their blogs. (The id code serves as you’re identity for the affiliate network to recognize) These can be strange flashing images ranging from the smallest button to the widest header banners scattered all through out a blog whose owner is desperate for an income.

The trick with these is to become an affiliate of a program whose theme or business is related to the niche of your blog. Also, don’t grow too fund of placing too many image links of your affiliate network. Use text links as much as possible and a few of these images in the appropriate places within your blog.

Pay per post or Paid Blogging

You are to blog about a website, a product, or a service and they pay you after you made it. You will make money by making a review. This is new to me actually but it’s kind of interesting. They said it started in 2006. Now I’m wondering where I’ve been why I haven’t heard of it.

The paid blog post can be a review or an introduction on the advertiser's website, products or services. The blogger will be paid a least $5 for each sponsor post. Blogs that have massive traffic, high Page Rank, and large number of subscribers can charge a few hundred dollars for just writing one sponsor post.

The only drawback though is that writing too many sponsor posts that are not relevant to your blog content can seriously affect your traffic.

ReviewMe, PayPerPost, and SponsoredReviews are examples the networks that offer this type of earning opportunity.

Blogging for Networks

Blog networks are also blogs like the blogs we bloggers have; the only difference is that they are in a network or an aggregate identity and they serve professionally written posts that get the heads of big names in the industry turning. They have a newsier feel to the content they produce.

From time to time, the need for new bloggers from among their ranks emerges out of the blue. If you believe that you already have what it takes to write the same level as they do, then by all means you can try. These networks are willing to pay bloggers good amount of money using a variety of payment models if you really deserve to be paid like so. Unlike blogging for your self, writing for established networks has some advantage since they will handle a lot of the set up, promotion, admin and SEO, etc.

Examples of known blog networks are b5media, Gawker Media, and Weblogs, Inc.

E-Books

If you’re an expert at some field and felt that it’s valuable information which you can share to others, why not make an e-book. You can sell it through your blog and, maybe, before you know it, you’ve got a best seller in your hands.

Donations

You can place a donation button leading to your “Paypal” account somewhere in your sidebar. And watch the donations start flowing-in. Although it’s not applicable for every blogger, if you know that you are providing a comprehensive and useful blog why not give it a try.

I’ve seen many of these donation buttons in “ad-free” blogs. It’s their method of monetizing their blogs without the intervention of “capitalist greed” anywhere. There have been full-time and part-time bloggers who earn from this kind of revenue stream.

Welcome

Good day, this is nepspeed82 and I would like to welcome you all here in our blog. You can read all about why we made this blog here.

About me, well, I’m a proud author of 2 blogs here in blogspot namely, Love Potion (Gayuma) and Oriental Express. I also have other blogs outside blogspot but I won’t mention them here since I think they’re all just crap.

What to say, what to say? Well… Um, basically, I started this blog along with the 2 blogs here in blogspot to make money. I found blogs to be a pretty attractive source of livelihood since it promises a lot of things regarding how much you can earn and popularity building stuffs, uhh… not so much about popularity though.

I started blogging about 2 years ago, way back in February 2006. I haven’t made much from the web since then unlike my fellow bloggers who started their blogs during the same time. From my experiences, I could say that blogging is no easy thing and you need to really persevere a lot to make good earnings out of it. And from these experiences, the stuffs I’ve read, and the things I’m still about to learn, I’ll be posting here as a sort of reference, guide, or inspiration to my readers. It’s a sort of our (me and my brother’s) journal about our efforts to actually earn more, write more, be better at it, and all the other things involved with blogging.

I just hope that it would be a start of an even more productive blogging experience for us and for our readers. I’m crossing my fingers on that.

LINKS

Exchanging links, if done correctly, and devoid of spammy intentions, have been known to boost a blog's traffic, search engine ranking, popularity, and of course earnings. This is especially true for the start-ups.

In so saying, our blog is currently in its start-up phase, and needs quality links badly. All requests for exchanging links will be highly appreciated. So please… find it in your hearts to exchange links with us.

And if you do find it in your heart to exchange links with us, just let us know through the comments section or just send your message here.

Here are the generous bunch who have exchanged links with us. Please feel free to browse and click if you're looking for other blogs to link with.

The heavens roared and came flashes of blinding light hurling bolts of lightning into the ground. Nearby a volcano shakes the earth violently and cracks its very foundation as if to erupt in an apocalyptic fury. Rolling half-molten brimstones carpet the surrounding planes as the hellish crater spews forth its pyroclastic magma in an unbridled frenzy. Set the stage ablaze for the coming of ULUPONG.com.

Okay. Enough of that, ULUPONG.com is basically a blog about our effort to earn from the internet through blogging, of course, and several other methods which we hope to discover later on.

It’s a sort of sharing our way into the system. I, nepspeed82, and my brother, francisco, will share to you our experiences, the things we’ve learned, including those that helped us big time all throughout the efforts and the process involved.

Expect rants of course which might, ***just might***, comprise most of the blog; but we will always maintain its informative nature, promise.

Why ULUPONG.com?
Based on the definition given above here are the reasons (that we could think of) why we chose the word “ulupong”:

• We are the poisonous kind and we will surely poison your thoughts with intuitive ideas that you’ll keep coming back for more.
• We are so poisonous that we don’t get on each other’s way nor stay together even for a short period of time because a fierce battle will inevitably ensue and we’d both drop dead afterwards because of our highly-poisoned poisonous poison.
• We are so poisonous that we find it hard to write non-disorienting well-formed posts as the poison is already corroding away the very fabric of our sanity and thought processes.
• Or, however disappointing it might sound, we’re so poisonous that you’ll find our blog so repulsive and despicable you’d regret ever reading anything we post at all.
• Another meaning of the word “ulupong”, although I’m not certain if most Pinoys know or are even aware of it, is a huge snake – like a python. In line with that meaning, perhaps we could relate it to our dreams of making it big in the blogosphere. We aim to be successful A-list bloggers one day and earn like they do, 6 figures monthly perhaps.

What benefits will you get if you read our blog?
I’d instantly tell you “nothing”. But that would be rude and will force you to go away so I prepared a few thoughts I could muster why you should read and stick on reading our blog.

• You’ll learn new things that we’ve already learned just in case you didn’t happen to come across it in your life or just simply forgot that you’ve learned it already.
• You’ll be amused at how stupid, eventually, we’ll become in our efforts to give you the “greatest blog” in the world.
• You’ll be again amused at how we’ll unnecessarily expound on things of no importance or are just simply unexpoundable; J + K= ~Q for example. Put it like this, if you put J and K together do you think it will form a Q or an R perhaps. Maybe a W is the closest we could arrive at, or maybe a K with a tail, but certainly not Q…
• You’ll be inspired to make a clown of yourselves like we do rendering you unable to write “content-rich” posts. That way, things will be to our advantage making the competition to the top easy-pickings for us. (Pause for a few seconds with a diabolic grin… then, a cold wicked laugh.)
• If you’re still not into blogging, (where have you been dude?) you’ll be inspired to start your own blog adding to the mess we bloggers made, which is the blogosphere, considering all the noise we’re making. (Just kidding XD… I know I shouldn’t have said that… Damn… sorry… I think I should just shoot myself in the head…) (Walks away in front of the PC and stares blankly down the floor consumed by remorse and self-pity ‘sob’…)
