The objective of blogging is to add value and entertain people so therefore you must write stories that captivates your audience right ?
Every person on face of the earth has experienced something that some one wants to hear .
A story line might be boring to you but exciting to m so I guess you can say story telling is subjective
With that being said people should understand the basic process of story telling to be more effective.
If you ask me every person has the ability to rell a story because every one has experienced something in life that others can relate to .

Instead of thinking of yourself as a blogger /writer look at yourself as a dj .
What do you want people to feel when they visit your website ?
Every body likes a bit of entertainment and Story telling is one of the best ways to keep people engaged .
Not every writer uses the exact same formula to but every audience wants to be entertained some sought if way .
You can entertain people in any niche or topic you choose to write about .
People want to read valuable content but they want to be captivated too or else they will get bored .
If you can sprinkle in a bit of story telling your audience is more likely to find your content a lot more engaging.
Story telling is something that I know However I haven’t implemented it as much as I would like.
II want to keep readers engaged on my website too , If I can’t keep readers engaged some one else will .
From here on in I am going to keep finding ways to weave story telling into my blog post .
I have tested a little bit on Twitter and didn’t like the responses Wasn’t getting so I stopped so you could say I didn’t have the patience to test it long
As bloggers we can easily get trapped into thinking and writing one way all the time .
It took me a while to realize that I don’t have to be a regimental writer .
In other words you can cover a topic and weave different parts of your story into it .
There are countless ways to generate ideas for a good story .
There is always some one with a story line you relate to and if you can’t I am sure you know some one that can.
Being creative and outside of the box thinking will help you to blossom as writer .
I think being relaxed and observant to different things going on around you can really get your creative juices flowing .
I had an issue in the past were I was stuck in a bubble making it harder for me to come up with ideas .
People read newspapers ,magazines because it’s a form of entertainment .
When you take away entertainment people will be more reluctant to read your content .
People want to be intrigued .
You need test and try out methods to help you connect with your readers on an high level .
You pretty much want to make it irresistible for them to resist reading your content.
You have to free write and not limit yourself to .
As writers when we are being regimental it takes away from the fun and the creativity .
If you can’t have fun you can’t be fully productive .
Being in a good space is fundamentally important too.
The most important thing as a blogger Is to be free of all distractions if possible.
Get yourself in a space where as you are comfortable as possible .
Comfort ,ability and creativity is everything in the blogging world.
I would bet that most bloggers that burn out do so because it is no longer fun .
In order to get longevity out of blogging you must be willing to be creative and not focus on perfectionism.
Too many writers write in a robot like fashion .
The reason why I am so free when I write is because I don’t put pressure on myself .
Even when I run out of ideas I find ways to produce mainly do to my willingness to be creative.
When it comes to writing expression is everything and you should feel free to Express yourself without endangering or slandering others or yourself.
Other than that write what’s on your mind because those who don’t care to listen won’t listen but those that do will listen .
Yes it takes time to build a big audience but it’s not difficult to get website visitors.
The difficult part is keeping website visitors and readers engaged and also converting them into active buyers.
We will talk in more depth about that in another post .
The one thing we all face as writers is writers block ,so it’s not like Stephen King has a super power .
Sometimes it’s better to go along write and not edit right away .
If your writing is crap you can always come back and edit .
When you come back re-energized you are more likely to pinpoint and upgrade some of things you wrote the previous day.
I have experienced the exact same thing I am telling you about but when my mind is fresh and I come back and brush up my content I notice my creativity and value increases.
