Writing conversationally works best for me and it may work for you as well.
Writing conversationally will only appeal to certain people, it's not for everyone nor is it for every website.
Try to imagine that you are telling your best friend something about a product you saw or bought, an event that has happened to you or some secret you have just learned that you want to share.
Now write that (imaginary) conversation down. This will be the bones of your content.
Treat your audience as your best friend. These are the people who are going to buy from you and if they think that you genuinely appreciate them reading your content then the chances are they will buy from you. Never think of them as customers to sell to, think of them as your best friend forever and that you are doing them a favour.
You can't afford to be flippant with your audience, you need to engage them from the start. You can do this if you treat them as your friend and not as a $ dollar sign.
You can make them laugh, cry or sympathise with you. The choices are yours but always treat them with respect.
In my summary I will go through how you can get your content and set up your pages. This is generic to all kinds of writing.

Think what helped me most of all when learning to write posts is when I started my personal blog. By then, I already knew enough (from taking Desktop Publishing) to make sure to state my rants so that I would be LESS apt to suffer a lawsuit ... and I learned how to (as you stated) write though speaking to a friend with lots and lots of practice.

p.s. I don't think I should attempt to write as a comedian not just yet anyhow.

You might find this helpful if you feel a bit stuck or demotivated, this is another way of looking at it. Good content shouldn't be a chore. I hope this helps you out.

One thing I have found to gain trust when writing on certain subjects, mainly opinion pieces, is to make sure that you reference your material at the bottom (web pages, books, articles, and so on) of the page so if one of your readers wants to see whether or not you are worthy of your words.
Keep up the great training!

Bertie's nicked my bread roll ! He really should pack his own lunch instead of nicking ours. I'm taking it out of his wages. How much does he owe you?
A product review is when you analyze a product or service with an overview. You write about the good, then the bad (advantage v. disadvantage) and give an educated opinion on the product or service.
An opinion piece is where you write on a certain subject offering your point-of-view whether it being from education or experience.
I hope this helps.

LOL!
You know how fickle Bertie is.........So where is he dwelling now? Has he become roomies with the dog?
Great content is king and is the MOST important thing in gaining followers and actually turning a hobby of blogging into a Professional Website Online Business.
This is quite simply put........some of the best training I have ever taken and I am a better writer for it. Great training!!
Thank you, my friend.
