Many bloggers don’t blog over the weekend. Enjoy the weekend off, but don’t let the time go to waste. Here is some suggested homework for you.

Watch and Learn: HSN

There are two types of people in this world: those that obsessively watch and make purchases from HSN, and those who have never watched and swear that they never will.

If you are reviewing products on your blog, I suggest that you watch and learn from HSN.

It is no wonder that HSN sales have increased over the last few years and that sales reached $747.3 million this year. It is time to emulate their methodology in your blog.

Storytelling

The secret to their success is their ability to tell a story, Mindy Grossman, the CEO of HSN was quoted in an ELLE article Grossman says, “I don’t care what we’re quote-unquote selling; we’re about inspiring people through storytelling.” They tell a story, they know how to gain your emotional attention, with their descriptions and their depictions of situations when and where the product can be used.

Here are just a few things that HSN does really well:

• Use of keywords (They are the leaders in SEO!)
• Use of adjectives
• Connecting the audience emotionally to the product
• Using wit and humor in their reviews of the product
• Being personable – they have a conversation
