I found a post\u00a0 about developing your skills at blogging<\/a> which I thought worth mentioning. It is also relevant on the whole for newsletter writing.<\/p>\n

It\u00a0doesn’t mention ‘be yourself’ directly, but I think that is the only major point I would add to the list.<\/p>\n

In summary, Chris Garrett gives 10 points that lead to successful blogging:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. blog by example<\/li>\n
  2. blog with passion<\/li>\n
  3. be organised (well, I can’t always get 10 out of 10!)<\/li>\n
  4. delegate<\/li>\n
  5. take ownership & responsibility<\/li>\n
  6. communicate effectively (hopefully, that’s where my tips come in handy!)<\/li>\n
  7. be brave & honest<\/li>\n
  8. listen<\/li>\n
  9. know your readers<\/li>\n
  10. be a reader<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I found number 7 interesting – I am always honest in my blog but don’t feel I am particularly brave as communications isn’t usually very controversial \ud83d\ude42 But then I read Chris’ comments about this to find him saying pretty much the same thing and suggesting\u00a0there is\u00a0bravery in choosing and presenting topics.<\/p>\n
