As a blogger, connecting with your readers can sometimes be a challenge. If you're new to blogging or you have not "found quite your groove" you may even be evil. You want to have an impact on your readership, but the "how" of this kind you escapes.
Laurent hamels Copyright - Fotolia.comThe response is often giving your readers a good joke or even only agree a smile on their part. Once you have been able to do that you have successfully also connect with them on some level, engage their interest and make them hopefully excited for more information.So here are some tips to inject a little humour into your blog and giving your readers (and you!) a few tickling to the proverbial funny bone.
This may seem simplistic, but injection humour in your blog means find the funny events happening in your life around you and find a way to link their in what you try to say in your ticket of blog.
Maybe you use a funny story to illustrate a point or an amusing example to present "which must not be". Perhaps you just share something funny you heard on the news or tell this witty joke your colleague said you at the luncheon yesterday. Turning to the experiments happening in your own life, if they are positive or negative and try to find humor in them. Then share these moments with humour (and human) with your readers!
When you Polish your vocabulary skills and use different words that can mean the same thing but carry different connotations, you increase your ability to write not only efficiently, but with humor, if you so choose.
Something which could not be interpreted as comic prima facie becomes often comical if you use the right language to express. A thesaurus is an excellent tool to help you in the "text" Department, indeed.
It is that, when you increase your vocabulary, you increase your ability to communicate and find your true "voice". Or even "voice", if you want! And sometimes with colourful adjectives can throw a reader just enough off-guard to incite laughs!
It is not your job to tell your readers that something is hilarious. It's your job to tell the story, to describe the situation or to express the character and enable them to come to their own conclusion that something is hilarious.
You can do so using words to paint a picture for your drive. Draw your world dive them in your words and allow them to discover all funny on their own.
Sometimes what you say could not be single smashingly. It is, but you can still it witty by finding a way to say a little differently the next average Joe. You can also use things like metaphors, comparisons, cliches stupid and irony to inject humour as well.
Remember that when you use metaphors, comparisons or silly cliches to choose those people can relate to any level, which involves the senses and creates a "picture" in their minds. Do not use obscure cliche that almost nobody has ever heard before or that you will be shooting yourself in the foot. People are most humor in things they can relate to, not the things they have never heard of!
Finally, don't forget to write with humor, whether it be a blog, a novel or a letter to your friend, requires a certain amount of cahones. (It is good if you have only the proverbial kind, ladies). No subject is taboo, and when you start writing you should censor yourself too.
Sure you can come back later and change if needed, or if you want to not be quite so "balls are" you can censor a little after you have something written... but don't let it be your first impulse. Write what you think and to feel, let it circulate freely and are concerned that you may or may not offend later.
And don't forget that you do not have to be a comedian and laugh your readers write funny documents. Often you have just to you, and be willing to let your guard a little down. Now get out there and tickle funny bones people!
