Do you ever wonder why you blog?
For some, the answer to that question is to simply have fun; for others, it’s because they get to make a living doing so.
But for the majority of Christian bloggers, we blog because we have something to say; something we strongly want to get out.
But can what we say actually make a difference? Especially in an online environment?

As much as we like to talk about writing, one of the best things you can do for your writing is to read! (see tip #3)
It’s a great way to add new growth to thoughts, ideas, knowledge and more.
That’s why I love the symbolism and nifty design of this “Blossoming Bookmark”:
If you’ve been blogging for a while, chances are you know what a ‘scanner’ is.
If you’re not familiar with the term, here is a quick definition to give you an idea:
‘Scanners’ are readers who quickly ‘scan’ an article/post to pick out things of interest, and essentially skim, or ‘scan’, over the content.
These scanners look for things such as bullet points, quotes, bold sentence, and other, easily recognizable formats. As a result of this habit among readers, writers have begun to change their writing styles to conform to the culture of online reading.
While I don’t think it’s bad to adapt to the changing environments in which writing is presented, I do think that this growing trend among writers to post shorter, scanner-minded content can become detrimental to excellent writing.
As John Saddington adequately put it, it’s starting to look a lot like ‘a circle of death‘.

With the boom of Kindles, iPads and the likes, book publishers are scrambling to keep-up with the times. They desperately are trying to keep in step with these technological changes while retaining their profits. Book publishing is changing.
Meanwhile, authors are scrambling. Their scrambling has more to do with excitement than fear, since their hopes and dreams have moved profoundly closer. A writer longs for one thing: To be read. Now with ePublishing, the cost of getting a book into the public is far easier and cost effective than ever before.
So, you’ve published an eBook. Now, what? How do you get noticed?
Give your book away.
