The first post, it’s usually reserved for introducing yourself and your blog, but I thought it would be fun to make it into a post that tells you how to write your first post.

The first post, is extremely important. It sets the tone for the blog, not only for the readers but for the writers as well. It’s the first impression the site gives and everyone knows the first impression is the most important as it could be the only one you get.

Ok, so what makes a good first post?

Get personal, tell em who you are.

As a reader I want to learn about you and the blog’s writers. Share pictures, past projects and  The more you share about yourself the easier it will be for me as a reader to relate to you.

Why are you here?

Its possibly the most important part of your first post. People want to know why you have this new blog, so spell out your intentions to them. You should also tell them what your going to be blogging about, tell them what to expect next time they arrive.
So as always you need to consider your readers when answering these question, ask yourself, ‘Why would people come to this blog?’ ‘What do they want to see the next time the come?’

Make it interesting.

Do something different, add some personality and humor to it. You don’t want to sound like a robot that’s programed to say something generic.

Exceptions

Their are exceptions to everything, including your first blog post. If you do something that’s out of the ordinary but still goes along with your blog, such as this post, then go for it.
