5 Key Takeaways From Kobby Kyei at Y-Reach’s Training Workshop

As I ponder over the day, my mind buzzes with excitement and inspiration from the workshop organized by the National Youth Authority in collaboration with UNESCO on their Y-Reach Project. It was an opportunity I couldn’t afford to miss – a chance to connect with fellow bloggers and influencers and learn more about Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR).

The workshop spanned two and a half days of eye-opening and insightful experiences. Presentations were given by experts from various organizations and religious leaders on Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR). A highlight for me as a blogger was the session by blogger Kobby Kyei, who shared his expertise on developmental and impactful blogging with us.

Motivated by the wealth of knowledge shared, I am eager to pass on five key insights from Kobby Kyei’s presentation at the Y-Reach project workshop:

1. Be Consistent, but Don’t Rush:
Kobby emphasized the importance of maintaining a consistent posting schedule. Instead of rushing to churn out content, allow your followers time to digest and engage with your previous posts. By establishing a reliable posting routine, followers will come to expect quality content whenever they visit your page.

2. Give Your Followers Time to Rest:
While regular posting is crucial, Kobby wisely advised giving followers occasional breaks. A day or two without new content allows your audience to rest and eagerly anticipate your next offering. Quality over quantity is key, ensuring that each post captures attention and adds value.

3. Empathy in Blogging:
Kobby encouraged bloggers to put themselves in the shoes of both the subjects they write about and their followers. Considering how you would want someone to handle issues on their page if you were the follower is crucial. Additionally, he urged bloggers to approach sensitive topics with empathy, questioning if they would report the same way if the subject were a family member.

4. Engage with Your Followers:
The heart of successful blogging lies in building a community. Kobby stressed the importance of actively engaging with followers through comments, messages, and other interactive measures. Responding to feedback and fostering a sense of connection makes your blog more appealing and establishes trust with your audience.

5. Don’t Follow the Crowd:
In a world where trends can dictate content creation, Kobby advised against blindly following the crowd. Choosing a niche that resonates with your passion and values is crucial. Furthermore, he advocated for bloggers to consider unique locations for their work, challenging the conventional belief that success hinges on being in the capital city. Opting for development-focused blogging over purely entertaining content can set you apart in a crowded digital landscape.
