How to Write a Blog Post (in 27 Easy Steps)

We have some popular templates: interview, list, guide, infographic, and so on. You have to pick something up before the creation process.

You can Google your theme and look for your competitors. What format did they choose to be on the top?

You should try to write the absolute best post on the theme on the internet. You have to beat all others to not only be on the first page of the search results, but also in the top 3.

Start with a plan. After that you can split the big deal – the whole text into small little pieces. What to use:

• Common sense (your feelings). Think what will be useful for your audience.
• Competitors. Look for their outlines. What had they included?
• AI. Ask to make the plan for the best article about this theme and include all what can be useful for the audience

Combine all methods and make a great outline

Split a big text into steps, rankings or a pull of opportunities. Search engines likes it and so do people.

You can turn almost every topic to this format. And don't forget it's easier to write.

Tell readers exactly what they can expect to read in your post. Use your feelings, Google search for competitors' sites and AI to find a good, short headline. Combine them to find something brilliant.

Some additional ideas about headlines

Use the short version of your article for people who are too busy to read the entire text. Then, follow it with a longer story that includes all the details.

Pretend you're talking to a friend. (From the author. In my mind, sometimes you should talk to your granny, your kid, or your school teacher – it depends.)

Don’t add anything that doesn’t belong to your blog post. So, cut everything that doesn't help to your goals.

All blogs look the same. Use something personal, something fresh, something that can only be in your blog and in your text.

Study more, research more, dig deeper. Find, read, and share useful information, and in the end, become an expert.

Expertise doesn't necessarily mean complexity. Your writing should be clear and simple. The best way is to write for 8th grade students.

Make sure to bring tons of images, graphics, and videos into your posts. It's the way people will love your content

You can make charts or infographic in Canva or even Excel. Don't leave people without visual information – it helps a lot to state your text

I've wrote about images for your articles – how to get and what to share

Don't forget to use, if it's appropriate:

• Tables
• Lists
• Code blocks
• Images
• Videos
• Gifs
• Before/after
• PDFs and other files
• Even music

Simply link to the study or research being referenced for the data. Always include a link to the source.

• Also, be sure to include links to your own posts. This helps readers find related information, stay on your site longer, and discover new information.

I have also written about the importance of links.

Read (and edit) your text several times:

• Read the whole post in one go
• Format it, and add elements (images, videos, etc.)
• Check for typos, grammar, language, and facts
• Read it once more

Once you finish, read the post out loud. This will help ensure that it sounds clear, natural, and nice.

This can be a call to action on signing up for a newsletter, downloading a freebie, and such.

Your goal is to keep as big a portion of this traffic as possible.

To succeed you should try harder and make a lot of tries, more than a hundred or a thousand.
