How to write great Blog posts

Blog posts may be short but they take time to write properly.

We’ve previously covered the benefits blogging can bring to your business. Here are some tips on how to write great content.

Firstly & most importantly, be interesting. Blogs solve problems & are about your unique knowledge. Therefore avoid long lists of cold, hard facts. Instead include thoughts on areas you are passionate about. No harm in being a little contentious.

Get to the point & use structure to help your readers quickly scan the content e.g. paragraphs, bold, italics & CAPITALS for keywords.

Once there, prove your point & perhaps include a personal anecdote.

Craft a searchable heading i.e. one that people would use to find your content & add a keyword or two.

Write a good opening line – first impressions count.

Add an image & position it where you want extra reader focus.

Keep to under 500 words & aim for 300.

Check for quality & depth before publishing. Spend some time making the post look good.

Finally have a call to action. 

Oh & don’t forget to promote your post after publishing & get involved in the conversation!
