\"Creating<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve heard of TMI? Well, we want to give readers\u00a0JEI \u2013\u00a0Just Enough Information <\/a>\u2013 when creating a blog post. Using a pithy style lets you be there for them with helpful content and ensures you don\u2019t overload them with just plain Too Much Info.<\/p>\n

Based on the above, you can imagine how important it is that your blog posts are not too meandering. Instead, they should be short, sweet and to the point, conveying valuable information as succinctly as possible.<\/p>\n

However, you still want your blog posts to be effective<\/a>, to say something about your brand and to provide useful information. How do you do that in just a few words, though?<\/p>\n

Three Things You Can Blog About Right\u00a0Now<\/h2>\n

1. Share a Quick Tip or Strategy That is Working For You<\/span><\/p>\n

Tips are some of the most valuable and looked-at content on the internet (you\u2019re reading this article, aren\u2019t you?). As such, providing a quick tip to readers can really go a long way. It shows that you\u2019re knowledgeable about your field and that you want your client or potential client to be able to access valuable information as quickly as possible. You have lots of options for taking one tip and turning it into an entire (but short!) blog post.<\/p>\n

2. Highlight Industry Research<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t have time to do a deep dive into recently released research? That\u2019s OK; you can write a brief summary of the report, pull out a few stats that caught your attention and link to the full report for website visitors to learn more. When people click on a link from your site to another site, that often leads to clicking on another link and then another. If your site is what started their quest, they\u2019ll likely credit that site with everything they\u2019ve learned along their \u201csearch journey.\u201d (Choose good links and they\u2019ll keep coming back for more.)<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Make Use of Images, Video and Slides<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as a couple of links can help \u201cflesh out\u201d brief blog posts,\u00a0visual\u00a0media<\/a> can do the same. As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. And if that\u2019s true, a video is certainly worth a thousand more.<\/p>\n

Find compelling, relevant videos on YouTube, pictures and memes on social media, and content featured on SlideShare<\/a> to feature in a blog post. (This doesn\u2019t mean to not create your own as well! \u2026 but that\u2019s another topic.) <\/em>Simply say a few words about the video, picture or meme, ask for comments, and voil\u00e0 \u2013 you\u2019ve got a great, effective blog post.<\/p>\n
