Decoding the Past - Secrets of the Kabbalah

Blogging - How to get your opinion across clearly and memorably

Your brand is:
  • ‘What people say about you when you’re not in the room’ (Jeff Bezos, Amazon)
Our tone of voice:
  • We want our words to make a connection, provoke a reaction, and be positive.
  • Don’t preach, open up a conversation.
What is a blog:
  • Your opinion
  • Linked to facts
  • Brought to life with examples
  • In 300 words
  • Little and often
What isn't a blog:
  • Everything you know
  • Impartial analysis
  • An academic paper
  • Long
  • Infrequent
Planning: What do you want readers to...
  • Know
  • Feel
  • Do
Things to consider:
  • What's your main point?
  • Give it some punch
  • Start with a bang
  • Use a theme to make it memorable
  • Be emphatic
  • Make it personal
Getting your opinion across:
  • Everyday words
  • Questions
  • Short sentences
  • Rhythm and repetition
  • Real life examples
  • Strong language
Top Tips:
  • Start with splurging, not planning
  • Write your main point in a few words
  • And then do your planning
  • Be more emphatic than normal
  • Use personal examples
  • ...and keep it short
