How To Week at Instigator Blog - Inspired by Darren Rowse at ProBlogger

by Ben Yoskovitz

Every so often Darren Rowse at ProBlogger runs a group writing project. Lately, he’s been getting some very nice prizes donated from people.

This week’s group writing project is all about “how to” blog posts — posts that provide instructions, advice and step-by-step help. The posts can be on any topic, so it’s flexible enough for everyone to participate. “How to” posts are generally quite popular anyway, so it makes perfect sense for Darren to take this approach.

I like the “how to” format…it’s often quick, easy to get to the point and straightforward for readers.

With that said, I’m declaring this How To Week at Instigator Blog. Every post from this point forward will be a “how to” post.

I’ll submit the first one to Darren’s group writing project. I hope you enjoy the rest of the week! And I would encourage you to check out the ProBlogger Group Writing Project…

Thanks Jersey Girl. It’s a good challenge for me in terms of trying to write good “how to” posts and a bit of a kudos to ProBlogger for the idea…

On a side note — I clicked your name to get to your blog but got a 404 — maybe you mistyped it? Let me know where you’re at in the blogosphere!

[…] A couple of weeks ago, inspired by Darren Rowse’s group writing project I ran a “How To” Week here at Instigator Blog. It was fun, but challenging, to focus on one style of post for the entire week and make sure I wasn’t cheating myself (or you!) into writing something that was less than a real “how to” in order to fit the theme.

Please use your real name or a handle that's not driven by trying to gain SEO / Google Juice from my blog. If you put in a "name" designed for SEO purposes, I will edit it. I support the DoFollow movement, but this is also a community, and comments are meant to inspire discussion, not gain link love. Thank you!
