The Songwriter Guide to Starting and Finishing a Blog Post
I’m in a hurry and don’t know why
Do ever listen to the opening and ending lyrics in your favorite songs?
If you pay attention to more than a few of your favorites you’ll notice that they begin and end with the same lyrics. It’s an effect songwriters, musicians, and singers use to add more depth to a song. It’s also a technique that takes the most important part of the song – the hook – and puts it at the beginning of the song to capture attention while also putting it at the end to leave a lasting mark on listeners so they’ll listen again.
This technique is used by songwriters and by blog writers alike.
The best blog writers, like the best songwriters, often hit their listener or reader with a bang by telling them the most important part of the story right away, then telling them the details, and then hitting them again with the most important part of the story again at the end.
Successful bloggers use this technique to drive home the story they’re trying to tell or to drive home the point they’re trying to make to their readers.
It’s a proven technique you can use in your writing as a way to connect with your readers while creating quality content.
