Yarr and avast there me hearties! It be International Talk Like a Pirate Day again. pirater facebook and
that can mean only two things Firstly, it be meaning that people across the globe will be saying "it be"
when they mean "it is". And secondly, it be meaning that I be divulgin' the most well kept secret in all
the pirate code.
The dusty pirate's map to the treasure that be bloggin' success!The Pirate's Guide to Blogging You'll be
delighted to find out that I'm going to drop the pirate schtick and deliver the rest of this post in the
concise, clear prose that I tell bloggers they need to use.Because the first thing you can learn from the
pirates is that having a clear, recognisable voice is key if you want to succeed on the high seas of the
blogosphere.
The distinctive 'Pirate voice' might owe more to Robert Newton than Edward Teach, but there's no
denying that a cod West Country accent and some choice grammatical mistakes puts everyone in mind
of the high seas.But that doesn't mean you should be splicin' the mainsail in every blog post. Unless
you're writing a blog about pirates. Because using the wrong voice will undermine your posts
instantly."Yes, it is," not "That it be".
And you don't have to talk in that stupid voice to me, I'm not a tourist!What you need to do is create a
tone and style of writing that makes it easy for your reader to know they're dealing with your work, and
2. thatyou're to be trusted. Your voice will develop naturally over time, but it doesn't hurt to go back, read
over old stuff and make a note of your individual quirks.
Then it's just a matter of using methods, paces and tones that are distinctly yours - things like adding
hyphens at random, resorting to reams of eye-rollingly rotten alliterative sentences, or mentioning
Leeds United at the drop of a (tricorn) hat.
Even if your voice doesn't merit an international day of recognition, if it's distinctive and recognisable,
it'll lift you above your competition.Of course, what you say is only part of the story. It's what you say
that entrenches you in the minds of your audience.So choose the right words. No self-respecting pirate
impersonator would go without a 'Yarr' or a 'Me Hearties', because those words instantly tell the
audience that they're dealing with someone who knows their grog from their doubloons.
The same goes for you. Choose the words that hook your readers and give you an air of authority. But
don't let your carefully crafted vocabulary be undermined by the presentation.You wouldn't take a
pirate seriously if he was dressed in a polo shirt and chinos, would you? You want a hat with corners, a
beard, at least one wooden appendage and a parrot.Pirates knew that, which is why they dressed to
impress and intimidate.
Blackbeard used to strike fear into the hearts of his prey by boarding their galleons with his beard on
fire. Why? Because he wouldn't have been taken seriously if he'd have strolled aboard with a smart
3. haircut and clean shoes.The same goes for your blog. If your voice and vocabulary screams professional,
don't let your website sigh amateur hour.
Otherwise you'll never know what you could've missed out on.Whether it's a fat Spanish galleon laden
with Mayan gold.or a cushty privateering contract with her Majesty's Royal Navy, pirates knew that they
needed to keep their eyes out for the great opportunities that their chosen career could throw up.
