P is for Purpose #AtoZChallenge


MASTER LIST

P is for Purpose

Our team theme this month is “Aspirations: Blogging hopes, dreams, and goals”.

I read a book a few years back, called Start with Why by Simon Sinek (and no, he's not sponsoring this blog post!). It really digs into the purpose of what we're doing as we lead others. I think it's really valuable for us, as bloggers to identify our purpose. Is it to inform others? Is it to entertain? Is to express ourselves and invite others on the journey? Is it something else entirely?

Understanding our purpose as a blogger can help guide our choices and help us on our path.

  • Add value to the "conversation" by being unique and original
  • Aim for the "blogging sweet spot" of 300 to 1500 words
  • Include at least one image per post
  • Connect with other bloggers
  • Encourage comments by asking questions at the end of posts
  • Have a blogging schedule (weekly, monthly, anything so people know when to expect posts)
  • Showcase what makes YOU vital to your blog (why a robot can't replace you ๐Ÿค–)
  • Know your audience
  • Blogging requires dedication, patience, and continuous effort!
What blogging objectives would you add to this list?

Noteworthy Blog Posts #AtoZchallenge

#AtoZChallenge 2026 letter N
MASTER LIST https://tinyurl.com/mu5vjy48 -- How many have you HOPPED to?


Our team theme this month is “Aspirations: Blogging hopes, dreams, and goals”.

Noteworthy blog posts bring readers back time and again. Guests are more likely to "favorite" a site and share content on their social media. Readers seek posts that are initially engaging, so don't bury the good stuff. A post might educate, entertain, or grow a community. Having a blog post that is unique, that readers are unlikely to find similar information on dozens of other sites, is especially useful and memorable. Encourage conversation by asking questions, especially open-ended ones that appeal to emotions. Philosophical inquiries tend to keep a reader's attention longer. Be a trustworthy authority in your blogging area to keep people coming back for more.

What was the last blog post you saw that evoked happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, or contempt in you?
