The One Thing Every Good Blog Post Needs

These days everyone has a blog. The online world is filled with blogs on every topic imaginable. The selection may be immense but you will find the quality of content may be less than stellar. Providing good quality content consistently is the best way to help your site stand out from the competition. Whether you want to promote your small business, start an online revenue stream or simply write stuff others want to read, the key to making your blog successful is with good blog posts. What makes a post more than just second-rate? High-quality posts all have one thing in common- a clearly-defined, singular purpose.

Ramblings Gone Wrong

One of the biggest problems facing bloggers is the tendency to ramble. Nothing is more deadly to a blog than a series of articles that trail off on tangents lacking substance and interest along the way. While a story about nothing may have worked for Seinfeld, it doesn’t for those looking to build their amount of subscribers online. When you lack a clear purpose for your post, you also lack a voice and talking about this, that and the other becomes easy to do. Avoiding rambling in your writing by defining your purpose before you start.

Tips for Discovering Purpose

There are many ways to go about defining the purpose of your post. Brainstorming different topics is one way to do this. Another way to accomplish the task is with a blog topic generator tool such as this one by HubSpot. Reading the news and stories of interest can also help spur ideas for your next article. Once you have a general topic, narrow down the emphasis to one singular aspect of that area. This will provide greater focus for your post.

    Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.
    - Bill
    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
