“Take control of your destiny or someone else will”

This is an older post by Brian Clark, but I just recently came across it and thought it explained 5 major points of Blogging quite well.  He addresses the business reasons to blog (not just the social ones) and hits these areas succinctly:

• The Law of Value
• The Law of Headlines and Hooks
• The Law of “How To”
• The Law of The List
• The Law of the Story

Take a look at the entire article here ~ www.CopyBlogger.com.  There is a plethora of other valuable information there as well! Enjoy…
