Let’s face it, we don’t have all the time in the world. May be millionaires have time, since they don’t have to work as much as us regular people but eventually they’ll run out of time.

I’ve seen blogs in which a post about a topic goes on and on about reaching something with a lot of BS and a lot of adjectives. In my opinion, the writer who does that just wants to fill the page with his words just to make his post long. I’m not discouraging anyone from writing as much as they can, but it comes to a point when if you can’t get to the main point in your writing quickly then don’t write at all. Blog readers are on the go and they want to get their information ASAP.

Using Lists
Darren Rowse of ProBlogger.com emphasizes greatly on using lists in blog posts. Lists are a great way to jump deeply into your posts. I prefer reading lists instead of a paragraphs because it allows me to read the main point of the posts without spending extra time reading about unnecessary materials.

Be concrete in your argument within your post. Don’t wonder off in other topics and other materials, be clear and get to the point ASAP.

It’s ok to write extra material, but do it after you have stated your main point. It is actually recommended to write more to clear up what your post means. You can state the main point of your content in one sentence and clarify it up in one or two paragraph afterwards.

If you take a look at any of my previous posts, you can see that I start off with a clear short introduction and then I state the main point and I explain it in detail afterwards. If the reader wants to read the rest of the post after reading the main point then he/she can, otherwise he/she can just move on to another post.

What is your writing format?
