How to write better blog posts in 2019

Introduction:

Whenever we want to write a Blog, we think that to write a perfect blog post, we need good writing skills. However, it differs from the truth as you do not need to be perfect while writing a blog. You do not need good writing skills; all you need is a good experience in whatever you are writing about. Your tone may be informal, depending on your topic.

Other than this, you need to be passionate about your topic as you need to be descriptive while writing a Blog Post. This is because blogging is all about sharing your experience with the World.

Writing an effective Blog Post may seem like a tall order and a lot of hassle, this is only because most of the time we do not know what we are writing and what type of audience we are basically focusing on. Also, at times we do not have the complete knowledge about the topic or the Keywords we need to focus on while writing a Blog Post.

Writing a Blog Post is not so difficult at all, if you have the complete knowledge and experience about your topic and the Keywords.

Before Writing a Blog Post, the most important thing we need to focus on is “What is a Blog Post?” If you do not have the perfect idea of what a Blog is, you cannot write a perfect Blog Post, no matter how hard you try.

What is a Blog?

Okay, so What is a Blog Post?

Blog Post is a piece of writing and the logging of one’s thoughts, ideas and experiences all in one place on the web. Plus, a Blog Post helps you share news, opinions, thoughts and all such related things. A Blog Post basically is the ultimate expression of you on the web.

Focusing on the elements of a Blog Post, It contains five main things. This includes the Theme, Header, Side-Bar, Footer and The Body.

The Theme of your Blog controls how your Blog looks. However, you can choose a Theme that fits your Blog and personalize it by adding your own colors and images and attract more audience towards your Blog Post. Plus, Selecting a simple and more-organized Theme may help the visitors in finding what they are looking for.

The Header consists of your navigation menu and the Title of your Blog. It may also contain a logo, if you have one. Through the Navigation Menu, the visitors would be able to locate the content of your site menus. The Title must be Magnetic at any cost as it is the impression of your Blog Post.

“First Impression is the Last Impression.”

The Title must show the overview of your blog and must be catchy so the reader would want to continue to read your blog. If the Title seems Old or Dumb, then surely the number of Audience would be less.

 

The Side-bar contains widgets and things you want to highlight such as your favorite links, a recent activity on your blog or a crucial part of your blog, you can also add your social media links. In simple words we can say that a side-bar is used to show extra or important information that the main content does not contain.

 

The Footer rests on the bottom of the page, it focuses on the content that does not change but it includes the things you want your readers to have easy access to, such as a link to read more about you or a link to a contact page.

The most important thing is The Body as it contains the content of your Blog Post as it is the Primary reason why people have come to your blog post. It contains your ideas and thoughts about some specific thing that you want to share with your audience. You need to make sure that your first Paragraph looks dashing and does not bore the reader, so he may continue to read your blog post further.

How to Write a Blog?

To write a Blog, you need to focus on the following:

 

- Find a Title that fits your Blog Post perfectly. Do not start writing a Blog, until you have a proper name because if you do, you are surely going to face up with problems throughout the time you are writing a Blog and by the end, you would not have produced a good blog.

-Finding a good Title would increase the number of audience. As a matter of fact, eight out of ten people who see your Blog Post would only read your Title and move away, while the remaining two would read your article. Unless you do not have a good headline, no one is going to be interested in your content. However, if you lack creativity, try reading out some magazine articles or newspapers. Many magazines may come up with catchy titles, drawing the readers’ attention at the very first look.

Example: “How to shed five pounds fast!”

See, this is how it works. You may create more than one variation for a title and let your friends and family have a vote for it and choose the one with the highest number of votes.

The next thing to focus on while writing a Blog, is introduction. You need to put up a bold statement in your introduction and hook people up. Once you hook the people in, surely the readers are going to further read out your blog post. Other than this, in the Introduction, you need to give a quick overview of what is going to be in the following Blog post.

Focus the most on Body. Body contains almost all the content, thus to make it look more simple and better you must include sub-headings, rather than adding all the things under the same Title or Headline. You need to make sure that the readers can easily skim through the article easily because if they cannot, then surely no one is going to read out the article further.

Regarding the paragraphs, you need to keep them short (around 6 to 7 lines). A bigger paragraph does not look like a paragraph, but looks like a story or an essay about something.

 

In your body, along with adding your link, add other links as well.

For example: if you mention Google at some place in your Blog, make sure to add a link with Google. You can mention other websites and add their links as well to make your blog post more manageable and more advanced. This opens up more sources and makes you more credible.

 

Lastly, do not forget to put up a Conclusion at the end of the Blog post. Your Conclusion summarizes all the things that were in the Blog article and you should end your conclusion with a question, so more people are likely to comment on the post. Through this, you could create more sales through your Blog. Do not forget to mention the word ‘Conclusion’ while writing the Conclusion, or else people may find it as a part of the Body.

 

Bonus Tips:

• Before writing a Blog, search for the keywords related to your topic and see its SEO (Search Engine Optimization). You can find more about it at “ https://neilpatel.com/ubersuggest/ “ or any other website like this. 

• Add images throughout the blogs as it makes the blog look more dashing and advanced and does not bore the reader, after all no one wants to look at words only.

• Make sure to share your link of the blog on other social media websites such as Twitter or Facebook, do not hesitate as they may help you in boosting your blog’s traffic.
