ONLY TWO REASONS TO BLOG

I don't care what type of blog you write or read, you'll find
that to be successful, it has to meet one of two criteria. If
it doesn't, it will fall through the blogging cracks, unable to
find readers.

Every piece of content you write on a blog has to either solve
a problem or entertain the reader.

You're pondering your blog now, aren't you? You might blog
because people have told you to build a following. You might not
be quite sure of what you're doing, but you post what comes to
mind. You're not quite sure your blog meets the two criteria.

Solve a problem.

You offer a problem and describe a solution, or give excellent
links to sites that solve issues. The problem can be how to
cook a Christmas turkey or how to tell when a self-publisher is
a scam. It can address climate change and what you can do about
it in your own small way. It can relate to you and your divorce,
raising kids as a single mom, or aid people with pet issues.
Find a problem and offer answers. Education on any of a zillion
topics.

Entertain the reader.

You have humor so you might be able to write about anything and
raise smiles on your readers. Or you touch people when you write
about disabled animals. You draw snickers talking about seniors
or kids or your crazy way of life. Any subject will do, but it
has to make the reader want to stop what he's doing and enjoy
what you wrote.

Clues that your blog isn't doing either of the above:

1. You're writing about you, and it isn't emotional in any way.
2. You're ranting without a solution.
3. You're listing what you did that day without answering any
questions or being very funny.
4. You just post a picture or list a quote that isn't that
impressive.

I know that beauty, or entertainment, is in the eye of the beholder.
Don't get defensive. So let's answer this question:

Are you writing for you or for the reader?

Come on, now. Look deep inside yourself. Even go back and study
your blog posts. Are you fascinating? Highly informative? Are you
a come-to person for answers or charismatic in your message?

Make me laugh. Make me cry. Make me want to be you, or very glad
I'm not. Or show me how brilliant you are in solving my problems.
Make me unable to do without a dose of you each week. The final
test is this: do people ask where you are when you forget to post?

WORDS OF SUCCESS

The world is full of magic things,
patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.

Kickstart Your Book: A Writer’s Guide to Crowd-Source Funding

By Anne Bellov

News of Kickstarter is everywhere today. Don’t know what crowd-
source funding is? Here it is in a nutshell: you create a project,
determine a monetary goal, set a time limit, submit the idea, and
once approved, your project appears on Kickstarter. Site visitors
pledge money in return for rewards that you offer on your project
page. Succeed and the money is yours, less a 5% fee and any credit
card fees incurred. Fall short of your goal and you get nothing.
Exceed your goal, you get to keep it all, less the aforementioned
fees.

Sounds simple doesn’t it?

What’s true for writing is true for Kickstarter as well. To be
successful takes study, forethought, and hard work before, during,
and after your project is active.

To pique potential investor’s interest, your proposal must be in
your voice. What wildly successful projects have in common is that
their rewards are so cool that people can’t resist, or their
presentation so enchanting that you are not only compelled to keep
reading, but also cannot keep your finger from caressing the Back
This Project button, muttering I must have marshmallows..

Tips for Success:

1. Your project description is like a query letter: Hook, synopsis,
and bio. Edit the heck out of it! Don’t sound needy.

2. Your video needs to add to your presentation, not to repeat the
description. Study what works and what doesn’t from other project
videos. It should be no longer than two minutes, unless Steven
Spielberg is filming it. Quirky and personal can trump slick and
professional.

3. People you already know are your most likely supporters. Contact
them before and during your project. Personal emails take longer,
but will be more effective that a mass blind mailing. Let friends
know what they can do to help spread the word. Thank them sincerely,
individually, and often.

4. Don’t join a new group right before your project launch and think
they will care about supporting you. By the same token, if your
existing groups have nothing to do with your project’s theme, don’t
assume they won’t climb on board. I thought people who followed my
panda cartoons wouldn’t be interested my fine art project. In
desperation, during the last week of my project (40% funded with 7
days to go) I posted a cartoon about my project and significant
support came from panda satire fans, pushing my project past its
goal with only hours to spare.

5. Be realistic about money. Ask for enough to complete your project
and fulfill rewards, but don’t get greedy. Set reasonable timetables
for fulfilling rewards, and add a month or two. No one will complain
if they get their goodies early, but some will if you are late.

6. Plan to launch and end your project during weekday, daytime hours.
Many people take weekends off from their computers, especially if they
have Internet access while at work. If your project ends at 3 AM on
Saturday and it is down to the wire, you may not be able to rally your
troops. (Granted it is always 3 AM somewhere, just don’t let your
project end in the weekend wee hours of your own time zone.)

7. Project activity levels determine placement on the Popular this
Week page, so have your fans ready to spring into action. It’s easier
to stay higher in the rankings than it is to get there later.

8. Being a staff pick or featured project brings attention from those
unacquainted with you. Stand out from the herd and you may be one
of the anointed.

In 2012 over two million people funded 18,000 projects, raising more
than $300 million. Why not give it a try in 2013?

Anne Belov is a visual artist, cartoonist, and writer living on an island in the Pacific Northwest. You can find Anne’s paintings at The Rob Schouten Gallery in Greenbank, WA, her cartoons on the blog The Panda Chronicles, and read her guest posts on Whidbey Life Magazine, an on-line journal of arts, food, and culture on Whidbey Island. Anne’s first book was funded by her second successful Kickstarter project. Her only regret in life is that there is no MacArthur Grant awarded for panda satire.
