A Successful Blog !!

Blogging is an informational discussion website uploaded to the World Wide Web. Its an online journal displaying posts from oldest to most recent. Bloggs encourage viewers to have a vocal opinion on subjects they may not feel comfortable voicing in person. Getting people together to share ideas and viewpoints has its pros and cons. The pro is that readers can receive a better outlook on the topic and the con is that some viewers may become offended from another’s comment. That being said there are some do’s and dont’s to blogging.

One of the main reasons people subscribe to a blog is because they have something in common with the author. They may want to find out more or get their questions answered about the similar interest. Staying on topic is very critical when blogging because you do not want to lose your reader’s attention. Being lengthy can bore your reader and it may lead to them unsubscribing. Posts should be short enough to keep the reader reading but long enough to get the point across. Shining a positive light on yourself is always a great way to keep people interested. Give your readers a reason to continue reading your posts.

One thing that I can do better after reading the articles is not only making my posts more interesting ,by having shorter paragraphs but also an interesting title to lure them in. It is brought to my attention that many people read blogs on their laptop or tablets and it may be tiresome to read. 

Constructive criticism is something I hope my subscribers will do when they comment . If they feel like I should go into deeper detail and elaborate on a topic I am open to new suggestions.

Career Tools

My dream job is to become a major talk show hostess.Most talk show hostesses have a blog. This is where these do’s and donts come into play. My audience will be my paycheck in my field therefore it is important that I keep them scrolling and clicking on my page.

These are steps I plan to take to ensure my posts are easiest to comprehend:

• Writing shorter paragraphs to keep my audience intrigued 
• Being myself 
• Adding more links and pictures

I am  Dorothy Harris and my major is journalism communication. My dream is to become the next Oprah Winfrey and use my platform to raise awareness about how human activity is destroying the world and how we can help save it together. I also would like to spread positive news in the world. Although bad news sells and gets viewers attention, it is also important to remind the audience that good things happen in the world as well. In my efforts I hope to lower the depression and suicide rate world wide. I hope the readers of my blog will follow in my footsteps and also raise awareness about the environment and positive events that take place.

As  a journalism communication major ,blogs are extremely helpful in many ways. Blogs are especially useful in relation to my major because we will be publishing so much information on the World Wide Web for the public to receive. Common uses are informing others of what’s going on in the world around them near and far. Networking, advertising, gaining knowledge,  to create awareness and promote themselves are more reasons why someone in my profession would find a blog useful.

My Treasured Blog

The Mane Choice

The blog that I subscribe to is a hair product called Mane Choice. (https://themanechoice.com/blogs/videos ) On this blog it informs black women who have a kinky curly hair type  on how to take care of their hair , scalp, and which moisturizer is the best for each indivisual. It even displays different ways to style your hair and how to protect it at night. This information was useful to me because when I was a child I had low confidence in my hair. Every girl had a perm except me. My hair was and still is big and poofy. It was a challenge  to style and detangle everyday. When I stumbled upon this blog where other women had the same difficulties the Mane Choice author introduced us to her product and I have been using it to maintain my hair every since. 

The main purpose of a blog is to inform ,promote, and even getting people with a common issue together to find a solution just like I mentioned with the hair care tips. The audience that I will be blogging to will have somewhat of the same interests and goals as me.
