How can we write a good blog?

The blogs that we write should always be related to the subject. (for example: sports, food, nature, etc.) In this case, we should write our opinions about the business class. The key factors which makes a blogpost precise and correct are for it to be engaging, informative, persuasive and well-written with business terms.

It is not possible to evaluate whether an opinion is true or false. It is only possible to determine if it is rational or not. In contrast, if we write a blog about facts, it can be considered right or wrong, because a fact is a fact everywhere, it is not an opinion so it cannot be judged; questioned.

How do you a judge a good opinion from a bad one?

A more persuasive, detailed and well explained one with solid examples and accurate information is always a good one.

There are 4 key factors of a accurately well-written blog;

1.Engaging: The blog should be for a certain audience who are curious about the topic. Your blogpost should keep the readers interested so that they wii be eager to continue reading.

2.Informative: It is the owner of the blogs job to find the information that is needed. The things you learn from only one source –the class, in this case- are not always enough. Most of the time, you should provide supportive information from other resources like the internet, books, etc.

3.Persuasive:  Since we are writing about our own opinions, we should always explain it well by supporting it with solid examples, so that we can convince our readers.

4.Using Business Terms:  When explaining our opinions, it is essential for us to use the right language and diction properties in our writing; meaning using business terms. This helps us to get familiar to the usage of these words, and also ascends the quality of our work.
