hi, this site of your blog was very interesting and funny for me. But it was really hard to find it with google.es. Maybe you should improve it with seo plugins for wordpress like WP seo.

Your step by step guide is an excellent presentation of how to get noticed. I am definately going to bookmark this. As a former journalist, there are many ideas that apply to print media as well: doing your research, writing a killer headline and having a great opening in particular (of course, in newspapers, there are often people whose main job is to write the headline!).
These steps remind me that the way to approach social media is not always that different than what we’ve done before in other arenas. Even being conversational is more popular in newspapers today. But everything has to be sharper because as you said, you generally have less time to capture someone’s attention. As we hear again and again, first impressions are key! Opening your post, the look is enticing because it is so readable. In addition to the photo, numbering the steps helped break up the text and provided white space.

Definitely best tips to write any type of content oner Internet. Controversial content always hit the deck.
I would also suggest writing a content which demand some suggestion or feedback from the reader point of view.

Excellent “meaty” tips here, well done. There is so much useless “salsey” stuff out there, it can be overwhelming and give the social arenas a bad rap.

I enjoy reading what others have to say and conveying their feelings on several different issues. Heck, I learn something new everyday, not only about how others may interact, but about myself.

Don’t be afraid to write what you truly feel! Get it out there and accept other perspectives and you just may learn something and grow from it.

Your tips can be applied to all content generation efforts!

Whether you’re trying to get to the top of Digg, or actually have people read your website. Be interesting, use images, and involve the community . . . As the web gets more social overall, it’s important for marketers to speak with customers, not talk at them. Writing content that has a conversational feel helps achieve this.

Get your audience involved! People like to have their voice heard too.

Your other tips really just improve user engagement. My number one tip for successful social network content is picking the right topic. Picking something you understand and are passionate about is a start, but it also needs to be popular. Just as you do keyword research prior to entering a new market, make sure people are already talking. Then hit them with something that adds value to the conversation.

Dynamite tips. The good news is that with your post in hand we’ve got killer advice to follow to get better pickup.

The bad news is that we’re out of excuses for unpopular content…

p.s. Only thing I might add as a corollary to #5 is: …And, for god’s sake, don’t be BORING.

[Sherpa reported on the top reasons webinar attendees bail — I posted on this at http://tinyurl.com/why-we-bail — and I bet there’d be a similar finding were they to measure why social media content consumers bail?
