Whether you've been blogging since the invention of the internet or you are just getting started, there is room for improvement. Depending on how you approach it, your blog could be a huge sensation, or a complete flop. 

In recent months, SCN Community Managers have received a lot of feedback about blogs that didn't quite meet expectations. In SAP Mentor, fred.verheulfred.verheul blog, “What Kind of Blog Posts do we want on SCN?”, he asks bloggers to stop publishing marketing blogs. Though he doesn't give specific instructions for how to blog, the comments posted to his blog (which has 38,000+ views) make it clear that Community visitors want blogs of substance.

So how can you make sure that your blog contribution is viewed as positive?

1. Watch the Rock Star video lesson
2. Play the Rock Star game – a little bit like Candy Crush with tricky questions peppered in to test your blogging skills.
3. Posting on SCN? It’s a great place to start with 2.5 million+ visitors per month. Be sure to read the Rules of Engagement.
4. Check out which content is most popular in the topic you are going to cover. It will help you gauge your audience and determine what they value.
5. Be ready for feedback and respond quickly and professionally.
