Anyone Need a Google Wave Invitation?

Google's latest buzz is called "Buzz". I'm still wondering if there are people who still uses complex service Google Wave, after the launch of Google Buzz. I'm a big fan of Buzz and am pretty regular at it. Last time I logged in to my Wave account and noticed that I'm given the power of inviting others to Wave account. I don't know if there are people still interested in trying out Google Wave. However, if there are people out there who are still hunting for a Google Wave invitation, request one here.

Does Your Post Inform Your Audience Something?

2

Niche-Blogging is what makes one’s blogging effort successful. Unless you are a celebrity, your “Random Thoughts” blog won’t generate expected amount of money. Sometimes, not even a dollar. That’s why you need to have a central topic for your blog.
In the same way, you have to judge all of your posts before you hit the Publish button. You need to ask yourself something before you publish a post. And the question is: Does this post inform anything?

A reader will be engaged with your blog only if they get satisfaction from the posts of your blog. Your posts need to be useful, well-written, clear, and obviously relevant. Otherwise niche-blogging will fail too. In this post, I will tell you how to find the answer of the question above.

Revise the Post

Whenever you write something, you mean that you know something and you’re going to giveaway the knowledge to your audience. But before you do it, you have to make sure if the knowledge is useful enough. To do this, you have to revise or read your post again before publishing. This will help you two ways: 1. Checking Grammar & Spelling; 2. Finding out if your blog post is worth reading.
For example, let’s imagine you’ve written a post like the following one and the main theme of the post is:

There is a blogging engine named WordPress. That’s good, easy-to-use, user-friendly and I really like it.

Guess what? People are going to ignore it. If you want to write an introductory post on wordpress, then you need to provide more description on it. Yes, the above-mentioned lines can be used as your personal thought about WordPress in a different paragraph, not an entire different post.
If you’re still confused how to find out if the post is useful enough, let’s make it easier.

Does your post inform your audience something?

Ask yourself “So What”?

This is a shorter version of the question I told you to ask yourself earlier. But the meanings of both questions are same. Let’s go back to the example post again and try this question with it.
Judge the following post as a reader:

There is a blogging engine named WordPress. That’s good, easy-to-use, user-friendly and I really like it.

If I write a post like this, as a reader, simply you will ask yourself: “So what?”

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m telling you to do before publishing any post. Read the post from a reader’s point of view and ask yourself so what. Try to find out if your post informs your audience about something helpful, creative, and supportive and the likes. See if your post matters.

Once you become used-to in revising all of your post from a reader’s perspective before publishing, you will see how things change.
