Writing: How to engage your readers?

I wrote this yesterday evening and scheduled it to go for 7.30am or thereabouts and only got 10 hits. "It" is an article on how Google Ads can make your business go wham bam with a bang.

Have you seen the funniest thing today, check out this Obama video. I think that he has been amazing as an American president and totally cool!

Obama was really funny
I saw him and wondered what it would be like if I was funny like him
I am funny like Me sha.

Enjoy!

What is the most important thing about writing?

Today? Great internet
I have had bad network all day and just look funny to having a long night today
Tomorrow is all-night and God has made everything available for me to be there
So I have no excuses
Need to go home and sleep, I am going to have a long weekend.

Laugh

Meditation scripture: A merry heart doeth good like medicine

Job applications: Media World

I am always excited about these kind of jobs.

Jobs that glorify God

Jobs where you can witness and tell of God's goodness

People apply

It is an opportunity to do your work and also do ministry

It will have challenges

But wrapped inside challenges are opportunities to do what God has called you to do

Take advantage

Use this opportunity right

How to know that you wrote something good? #Writing

How I love to write

when do I write my best

I write my best, most authentic stuff when I have been pushed to the wall

I write terrific stuff when I am angry at some injustice

When I want to change culture

When I want to raise awareness for something that would change another's life.

How do I write my worst?

I write my worst when I am compelled to write

Or when I am just putting in my quota

The good and the bad thing about being an artist is that my emotions will sometimes control the kind of writing that I do.

Sometimes the emotion will work for me and sometimes it will work against me

What is the best way to write a good article or good story?

You need to keep writing until you feel the energy in your writing, till the dialogue gets the blood pumping in your veins and you can't wait to finish the books because the words have captured your imagination.

So much that when you are sleeping at night, you can still remember the words that you read in the book.

That's good writing.

Where you should be aspiring to

Where I should be aspiring to

LITTLE TIPS

After you have gone through all these writing stages, know that what you have is a draft

1. Now you must organise
2. Edit
3. Edit again
4. Check for grammatical errors
5. Have an editor read through because no matter how good you are, there are some things you will miss.

Cheers

NB

Try to write something everyday even if it is just a letter.

Blogging just because...

2016 is my year of living more authentic than ever.

I tried to act once, when I was doing that and flowing with the crowd, the Holy Ghost just kept nudging me gently but consistently to live my authentic self.

There is no guile for me. If I practice guile, I am on my own. Why would I stay on my own when I can have Jehovah Shammah in the midst of me.

I want to talk about love today.

Walking in love is not easy for me. Like it is not easy for everyone else who lives in this flesh. Something that this fasting month has done for me is show me my excesses where I thought I had none.

This month I am working on patience. I believe I have so much patience, in fact I believe I am a boz (the major actor in a movie) but in this month the Holy Ghost has shown me that I have more fruit to develop as much as I believe that I have developed so much.

I know that I am spirit not flesh and because I am spirit I can do anything that God says I can do. God says that I can walk in the spirit.

So using this picture above that inspires me so much I say I'm saved and so I can walk in the Spirit all of the time by the grace of God and by the help of God.

When you read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 you can be easily intimidated by all these amazing qualities that no one can possess completely. I set myself free by knowing that Jesus possesses all these qualities and that the same Jesus that has these qualities lives in me.

This is why I know I have the love of God in me. This love in me helps me overcome every challenge that comes my way. The scriptures say that the love of God has been shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost.

So don't excuse your wrongs by saying that because of your flesh you can't do right, know that because the Holy Spirit is in you, you can do right.

You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and you can do right. You don't do right and become righteous. You come to understand that confessing Jesus as Lord makes you righteous and thus releases you, give you power and dominion to walk righteous. To do right. To access God's kingdom. This is your privilege as God's child and gives you the right to live victorious in every area.

This is my writing blog, I am not supposed to be preaching on this blog. This is good writing though, I hope you enjoy it.

I love it when I meet...

I love it when I meet conflict
It tells me whether I am still being led by the Spirit of God or if my flesh is leading me.

I passed this test, I don't know if I will be alert enough to pass the next one but I am glad that I passed this one.

I feel so proud right now. Ecstatic inside.

This is so profound

Most people are constantly talking about their humanity, I feel like I am from another planet. What about we recognize our divinity.

When God gives birth to us, if we really understand what the new creation means, we are more than this flesh on the outside. Our spirit man is made alive.

I am sorry to say not true, I am very happy to say that many Christian practice behavioural modification and call it Christianity. If you are not aware of the new man in Christ, let me inform you that you are in school, cramming what the teacher is saying but putting none of it into practice and thus failing exams.

I'm saved and so I walk in the Spirit

How do I do that?

God is spirit, I am spirit, shouldn't it be natural for me to walk in who I am predominantly?

It's a switch

When you remember who you are, you will function as who God made you.

I hear this thing about demons this, demons that...

It ticks me out really, it does.

If you can acknowledge demons, why do you find it difficult to acknowledge angels.

The way my mama told me the story, satan got kicked out of heaven for attempting to be like God and he took 1/3 rebel angels along with him. 

If I understand my maths perfectly, that means that for every demon there are two angels. The angels are more. If I understand what revelation says, there are a multitude of angels, can you define multitude?

I don't get it when Christians constantly confessing the wrong stuff in the name of gossiping or lame attempts to tear others down. My bible tells me that you will have what you say. Better watch yourself, whatever you saying, you will see. Even when its a joke.

My bible says in Hebrews that the angels are sent for the heirs of salvation. From Daniel, I understand that any time you get an answered prayer, an angel has been at work around you.

Demons are sent to spoil, angels are sent to do the will of God on earth. Empower the one you want functioning around you by the words you speak. God sees you as a king even if you may not always see yourself that way. He sees you as His own and taken care of.

Whatever

Let me cut through the long lecture:

God is sovereign

God is king

His kingdom rules

You are a king's kid

You are a king also

Speak what you want

Your Father-God wants to take care of you.

Remember that you are saved and so walk in the Spirit

You want a definition

Read Galatians 5:16-23

No one is greater than the word of God

If you cannot submit yourself to God's word

How do you want to access the authority of God to live a victorious life on earth?

What happens when someone googles your name?

When you type your name into google, what comes up? When you type your company name into google, what comes up? When you type your business rival's name into google, what comes up?

What shows up is what the public gets to see, or how much they can get to know you from the internet. It is known in digital marketing circles as "Building Authority".

I know your company is good
I guess your company is good
Maybe

I will never know until you can communicate your company and its values adequately using the online tools of this generation.

What are your social media channels saying to your potential market?
What is your website saying?

Yes, Google said it.

1.17 billion people use Google to search for the things they are looking for on the internet. If you take care of your website and social media, you are 40% more likely to be found on the internet.

Don't forget to make your website mobile friendly so that the 93 million mobile users in Nigeria can find you, if your business is in Nigeria and more if your business is international.

Some of the things that should be on your website and on your social media channels are:

- Your years of experience in say, marketing or in website design
- Your list of skills and possibly a portfolio
- Your qualifications

- Your past clients

Pictures and videos are the way to go in #2016, they are very engaging and people use more data than they have ever used in the last 10 years, especially with the influx of #android phones into the Nigerian market.

Be committed to building trust via open communication on the web (website and social media platforms). Be consistent.

Answer questions/inquiries. Be smart about meeting your clients, offices or open and safe spaces to explore business ideas or proposals. 

Treat your customers like royalty and they will give you the same treatment. Be upfront about the benefits that you will provide. Discuss everything.
