Conclusion
What is a Blog
A blog is a website that primarily uploads written content for people to read. Most websites have a blog section along with a course page, a sales page, an about page, and other pages. Websites like these won’t be considered a blog since their primary content are not blog posts. Huffington Post, New York Times, and BuzzFeed are some popular examples of blogs.
What is a Blog Post
A blog post is a piece of written content on the internet. It’s usually made for a general audience and is free to read. A blog post typically has a separate webpage of its own. The written contents you see on social media are also blogs. They are called micro-blogs because of their short length.
Types of Blog Posts
There are essentially hundreds of types of blog posts. You can even invent your own type. But there are some standard blog types; written below. 👇
1. Story Blogs
Story blogs are about personal stories. But they can also be fiction.
Example:
2. How-to Guides
The how-to posts are a widely used blog type. These types of blog posts provide information about doing different things.
Examples:
3. News
News posts can be anything from sports to business. They can be about the latest updates or trends. They are usually time specific and become irrelevant after a few days or months, depending on the industry.
Examples:
- Tesla cars will not be approved as fully self driving this year
- The programming languages running the crypto- economy
4. Comparison Post
Comparison posts can be posts about comparing different products or they can be comparisons of different methods of doing things. People usually search for comparison posts with the intent of buying products or services.
Examples:
- iPhone or Samsung: Which smartphone should you choose in 2022?
- Self-Learning vs. Classroom Learning: Which Is Better?
5. Educational Post
Educational posts are what or why-type posts. They are made to answer people’s random questions with in-depth explanations.
Examples:
- What Is a Neuron? — Definition, Structure, Parts, and Function
- What is an Electric Circuit? Types of Circuits and Network
6. Review Posts
Review posts are usually product reviews. Bloggers make 90% of their money with this type of post.
Examples:
- 2022 Tesla Model 3 Prices, Reviews, and Pictures
- iPhone 11 review: this is still one of Apple’s top models
7. List-Post
Anything written in a list format is a list post.
Examples:
- 13 Types of Students and a Quick Action Plan on How to Approach Them
- 21 Different Types of Cars and their Pictures and Names
8. Interview/FAQ post
Interviews are expert perspectives written in a narrative style. And FAQs are a compilation of frequently asked questions.
Examples:
I’ve only covered some background facts about blogging till now. You’ll find all the steps you need to write a blog post here. 👇
How to Find a Topic to Write a Blog about
The first thing you need to do before writing a blog post is to find a topic. And to find a topic to write a blog about, you need to figure out your blogging niche first. I presume you’ve figured it out. If not, you can check out this post — How to Choose a Profitable 🤑 Blog Niche You’d Love Writing About 😍 (2023 edition)
With that out of the way, you want to choose a topic that:
- Will make you money
- That has low competition
- People would want to read (enough people are searching for it)
We’d skip the money part in this article. Because for a decent amount of money, you need to focus on your whole blog. Not just a single blog post.
And to select a topic, you need to know about SEO first. What most folks mean by SEO is “Search Engine Optimization.”
Every blog post gets almost all its views from Google searches. People go to Google and search for “How to write a blog?” or “Who is Plato,” or anything they can think of. Search terms like those are called Keywords. They can be words, phrases, or sentences that people search on Google. (For the sake of clarity, I’ll be referring to topics as keywords from now on).
If you want to write a blog, you should write about keywords that people search for. So that they can find your blog post when they search for those keywords. But that, in its entirety, won’t bring you views.
Why?
When people search for something on Google, the first page of Google, by default, shows 10 search results. Excluding ads.
And the results on the first page get all the traffic.
“Only 0.63% of Google searchers clicked on something from the second page.” — According to a study by Backlinko where they analyzed 4 million search results.
So, even if you write a blog that a lot of people search for, and it winds up on the second page of Google, you’ll be lucky to get a few dozen clicks.
All the clicks are on the first page of Google. But that too, shouldn’t be your aim.
And the numbers decrease as you go down.
So, you should be aiming to make your blog post rank in any of the top 3 Google search results.
Now let’s look at how you can choose a topic that’ll help you rank on Google.
Do Keyword Research Like This
Remember that you need to choose a topic/keyword that
- People search for
- Has low competition
Well, how do you know what people search for and what has low competition?
Through keyword research.
Let’s suppose you write in the calisthenics niche.
Now, look up this keyword in Quora or Reddit, where you’ll find plenty of people talking about it and asking different questions. You can find hundreds of keywords from there.
You can also find keywords from Google’s people also ask section.
These are similar questions people search on Google.
Now, choose any keyword you like from there. Let’s suppose you choose How to do more pullups as your blog post topic.
Now, paste this keyword on SEMrush.
When doing your keyword research, you need to look at 2 things:
- Monthly search volume
- Keyword difficulty: It’s how hard it is to outrank your competitors for a particular keyword.
What you’re looking for is a search term that has a search volume of over a thousand. And a keyword difficulty under 50.
Now that you know how to pick a topic for your blog, let’s look at how you can turn your topic into a perfect headline.
9 Tips for Writing the Perfect Blog Post Headline
Your headline is the most important part of your blog. People decide whether or not to read your blog post based on your headline. Even if your blog post is an award-winning one, people won’t read it unless it has a click-worthy headline.
On average, 8 out of 10 people will read headline copy, but only 2 out of 10 will read the rest. — Copyblogger
So, having a catchy headline is a must. Nevertheless, before we dive into the tips for writing the perfect headline, keep in mind that:
- You need to address your target audience in your headline. The headline of this blog post is 8-step complete beginner’s guide to blog writing. If I wrote A Complete Guide to Article Writing, an entirely different audience would be interested in reading this post. So, it’s a must that you screen out your readers with your headline.
- Your headline should communicate how your blog post is structured. And your readers should understand exactly what’s in your blog post immediately after reading your headline. If your blog post doesn’t contain what your headline promises or contains something different, people might click out. And high click out rates will lower your ranking on Google.
Now, let’s look at 10 headline-writing tips:
1. Perfect Headline Length
There is no ideal length for writing headlines. However, as a general rule of thumb, I suggest you don’t write headlines under 6 words or over 12.
Also, as a blogger, you have an upper limit to writing headlines. Google can only display up to 600 pixels of your title tag/headline. That’s roughly around 50–80 characters depending on the length of your headline.
2. Why Add Numbers to Your Headlines
Our brains love numbers. Numbers organize information much more smoothly than words.
And so, most viral blog posts have numbers in them. Just visit BuzzFeed and you’ll find posts like these👇 all over their homepage.
Almost all their viral blog posts have numbers in them.
So, it’s high time you start adding numbers to your headlines.
3. Make Your Blog Post Seem Fresh
No one likes reading old blog posts. People like fresh content.
The best way to make your headline seem up-to-date is by adding the year 2022 or 2023.
Example:
- Photography for Beginners (The Ultimate Guide in 2022)
- 8 Tips for Improving Your Writing Style — 2022 — MasterClass
- How to Write a Blog Post in 2022: The Ultimate Guide
4. Why You Should Use CoSchedule
I’ve been using this free headline-generating tool for over 6 months now. And it works wonders.
It measures all these variables 👇
- Word Balance
- Word Count
- Character Count
- Headline Type
- Reading Grade Level
- Sentiment
- Clarity
- Skimmability
And gives your headline a score from zero to a hundred.
Though this tool doesn’t always help you craft the most viral headlines, it does help you learn the fundamentals of writing headlines.
5. Emulate Successful Headlines
Go to Google and YouTube; search for your article topic and you’ll find some of the greatest headlines on your topic.
Write down 5 of the top headlines from Google and YouTube.
Now, take bits and pieces from all of those headlines and make a headline of your own.
Headlines aren’t copyrighted. As long as you’re not copying someone's headline word for word, you won’t even be doing something unethical.
6. Don’t Use Alien Words
Using an esoteric word that you learned in some book is a deadly mistake.
Your headlines should have easy-to-read and easily understandable words. Make it so that a 10-year-old can understand all the words in your headline.
7. Practice Writing Headlines
Many copywriters spend more time crafting their headlines than writing their articles. Your headline is the most important part of your article. So, this is a good investment of your time.
CoSchedule suggests writing 25 headlines for every one of your blog posts. And Neil Patel (who gets more than 6 million monthly visitors to his blog) suggests writing 5 headlines.
But I say, write 10 headlines. 10 should be enough as long as you’re putting a bit of effort into writing each one.
8. Write Headlines in Title Case
Most headlines are written in the Title Case. And I write all my headlines in the title case. It’s the standard in most industries. And to me, it looks more aesthetic. I suggest you write your headlines in the title case too.
If you don’t know how to write in the title case, then you can use the Change Case extension.
9. Use Emojis
One of the biggest purposes of your headline is to grab attention. With thousands of words on Google’s Search Engine Results Page, adding an emoji to your headline will make it stand out like a beckon.
How to Write an Outline
After you’re done with the headline, you’re ready to start writing your blog post.
Outlining your blog post is the first step you need to take to turn your headline into a well-structured blog post.
An outline is a collection of all the headings, subheadings, and, in most cases, content of your blog post.
Now, I’ll be honest with you. I didn’t like making outlines. And I didn’t write any until I realized it was taking me much longer to write a blog post than it should. And even after all those extra hours, the finished product was pathetic.
Writing outlines helped me speed up my writing process, and the flow of my blog posts became much better because of it.
But you can still write blog posts without writing an outline. You can do freewriting.
Freewriting: Read a lot of information about a keyword you’re writing about, take notes and start writing. You’ll have a lot of fun writing this way. But your draft will turn out to be a total disaster. A lot of people will say that you don’t need a perfect draft. I agree. Your draft should be crappy. But it should have a logical order. Otherwise, it will take you dozens of hours to edit.
If you don’t want to spend 10+ hours editing, then invest an hour or so in writing an outline.
Follow these 3 steps to write the perfect outline:
1. Write the Section Headings of Your Blog Post
A blog post has:
- An Introduction
- Body
- And a conclusion
The introduction and the conclusion shouldn’t be more than 150 words combined if it’s a 1500-word article. Though, you don’t need to worry about your introduction and conclusion during the outlining phase.
You’ll be focusing on writing an outline for the body of your blog post in this part. And the first step is finding sections to write in the body of your article.
To find the sections:
- You need to search your keyword on Google and analyze the top 3–5 blog posts that show up. Read them and note down all the sections they cover. (Or you can use the Turbo Outliner extension).
- And note down all the questions you have about that topic.
- And you can also look at the People Also Search section on Google.
- And if you’re feeling fancy, you can search the same keyword on Reddit and Quora and read the questions and threads there. You’ll find plenty of section ideas from there as well.
After doing all that, you should have a list of at least 15 sections to cover. But you don’t need that many sections in a blog post. For a 1500-word blog post, 9 sections should be enough.
The Best Length of a Blog Post
2. Expand Your Outline by Planning Subsections & Blog Content
Now that you have a list of sections to cover in your blog post, decide how many words you’ll write in each section. And research them enough to fill in the necessary word count.
Research to find subsections for sections that are big enough. (Find them the same way you found your sections).
And when you have your sections and subsections, you should research to find:
- Data: Quotes, stats, and research studies for building authority.
- Explain concepts: With anecdotes, metaphors, analogies, or images.
And make sure to add links to the resources in your outline.
Bear in mind that your outline should be written in a multilevel list.
Look at the image. Developmental Edit is a section of my blog post. And the bolded texts are the subheadings of that section. And the bulleted blurbs are the paragraphs within.
Your outline should look something like this too.
Add your research findings inside sections and subsections with bullet points. Each bullet point represents a paragraph. And you’d turn those blurbs into coherent paragraphs later while writing your first draft.
3. Organize Your Outline
After you’re done with all that, start rearranging your sections, subsections, and paragraphs. Make sure your article has a logical flow.
After that, if you need to add anything to your outline, add it. If you need to remove anything, do so.
How well you organize your outline will determine how long it will take you to edit your blog post later.
How to Write Better Blogs
You’re done with your outline; it’s in perfect order. Now it’s time to turn your bulleted outline into your first draft.
I’m going to give you a few tips and tricks to improve your writing in this section. But don’t dwell on those because your first draft need not be perfect. Just write your first draft as fast as possible without fixing your mistakes as you go. It’s a massive waste of time and it’s the least effective way of editing.
So, separate your writing from your editing.
“The first draft reveals the art; revision reveals the artist.”
― Michael Lee
Here are 3 things you can keep in mind while writing or rewriting your blog post.
Readability
Readability is a score based on how easy your writing is to read and understand.
For bloggers, readability becomes especially important because we’re writing for extremely distracted readers with hundreds of options.
According to research by Chartbeat, 55% of people read only 15 seconds on a page. And according to a study by HubSpot, only 29% of people read blogs thoroughly and 43% of people skim.
These are shocking studies. But you can do something about it.
You can break down your sentences and paragraphs to make your readers engage with your blog post.
- Articles with an average sentence length of 12–15 words perform better.
- A paragraph should contain a maximum of 5 sentences. And 1-word paragraphs are perfectly acceptable.
The second thing you can do to make your writing more readable is to use plain words.
Your target audience might be really smart people and they might know a lot of words, but common words are special. They’re easy to process by our brains, making them less energy intensive.
Whenever you have the chance to replace an alien word with a common word, please do. But there’s one other thing. Conciseness. Less is more in writing. As Ann Handley writes in her book, Everybody Writes — “Trim the bloat and fat. Are you potentially using far too many words to say things that might be said more concisely?”
Why You Should Address Your Readers Directly by Using “you”
You should always address your readers as you. Don’t write we, us, people, guys, or gals.
Addressing your audience directly makes you more likable. It makes your writing more personalized.
Check out this comment I found on Neil Patel’s blog post:
Also, check this out:
More than 5% of words in Neil Patel’s blog posts are “you.”
How to Write for Your Target Audience
You can do a few things to make your message more targeted (According to writing instructor Ugur Akinci, Ph.D.):
- Keep the education level of your readers in mind and
- Keep their age, culture, and gender in mind.
- Keep their goals in mind. What do they want to accomplish by reading your article?
- Use humor, slang, and jargon accordingly. If you're writing for an expert audience, you shouldn’t explain every other technical term.
- Use metaphors and analogies that are relatable to your target audience.
And, you can know more about your target audience by reading comments on similar posts or by reading threads on Quora or Reddit.
Art of Adding Images for Better Comprehension
An image is worth a thousand words. Our brains are naturally better at processing and remembering images than words. Use them generously.
But don’t use needless images. Every image should add value to your article. Don’t add it if it doesn’t help the reader understand your article better or arouse any emotions.
Some free stock image sites:
You’d need to add a lot of charts and infographics to illustrate your point. Use these to make stunning infographics:
- Canva
- Imgflip
Additional image facts:
- Although there’s no fixed number of images you should add to your article, Neil Patel suggests adding 1 image between every 150 words. But that’s extreme and even he doesn’t do that. Adding an image every 300 words suits me. I suggest you do the same.
- Add alt text to images. It’ll help search engines understand what your images are about. Keep them under 150 characters. Keep them clear and descriptive.
- Use landscape images. Readers have to scroll more if images are in portrait.
- Research suggests, 53% of mobile users abandon a website if it takes over 3 seconds to load. If you add multiple images with super high resolution, your article will take more time to load. So, download images in medium to low resolution or resize images with the free Adobe image resize tool.
How to Get Better at Writing
Well, there are only three exercises you can do to get better at writing:
Read More
Reading more will give you a profound knowledge of English. You’ll learn thousands of words and you’d be able to decipher almost every sort of written material with ease.
Writers need to research a lot. Reading widely will give you the skills to go through texts faster and with better comprehension.
And you’d also have a vast collection of words to explain almost anything.
“If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.” ― Stephen King
Do Copy Work
Many say that you have to write more to be good at it.
But there’s not much truth to it. You don’t get good at something merely by doing it. You simply get used to it. To get good at writing, you need to emulate good writing.
And the best way to do it is by doing copy work.
Copy work: Copying out, word by word, a sentence or paragraph after memorizing it.
Suppose you like an author’s writing. You can pick up his or her book and start doing copy work.
Literary greats such as Benjamin Franklin, Jack London, Robert Lewis Stephenson, and many others did copy work.
By doing copy work, you’ll learn how your favorite author handles all the intricacies of writing.
But don’t worry about losing your unique voice. You can’t have an author's voice simply by doing copy work.
I’ve copy worked Seth Godin's top 100 blog posts. They were around 30–40 thousand words combined. But sadly, my writing became nothing like his.
I learned a lot from that experience, though, including grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure among many others.
Copy work will give you better results than any other writing exercise. You should try it.
I’m having a hard time finding a good blogger to do copy work from. Comment down below if you know anyone.
Learn Writing
Just reading and doing copy work won’t make you a better writer if you don’t understand the mechanisms of good writing. There are thousands of resources online where you can learn how to write better. Practicing after learning will ensure that you’re taking in the right things and discarding the junk.
Edit Your Articles in 4 Steps
Editing is paramount. It can fix your grammar issues, improve the flow of your writing, fix spelling errors, and do everything that you intentionally or unintentionally didn’t do during your draft writing phase.
The following 4 steps will take you through your editing process:
1. Editing Tiny Mistakes
Firstly, you can edit small mistakes in your article using these:
I like doing this basic typo and grammar editing first because it’s distracting to have so many stupid mistakes lying around. It’s tempting to fix all those, even though I should be doing a different type of editing. So, I fix them first.
2. Editing for Clarity
After you’re done with hundreds of small mistakes in your article, you should move on to the next step.
In this step, you’ll use your natural editing tool. Your voice. Recite your article and:
- Reorder it. Read it and see if sections or subsections need to be rearranged. You don’t have to worry about it if you’ve done a good amount of editing during your outlining phase.
- Place your sentences and paragraphs in the right order.
- See if there’s anything in your article that needs further explanation. And see if you need to do some further research or provide better examples.
- Remove anything redundant. Cut like crazy. Cut 10-20% of your article. Make it a rule to do so.
- Remove all jargon. Replace them with easier and more simple words.
- Improve the flow of your writing. Improve the rhythm of your writing. Does your writing sound sweet, or does it sound dull?
- Break paragraphs and sentences. No one likes reading big chunks of text and lengthy sentences. Shorten your paragraphs and sentences.
After doing all those, your article should be at least 5 times better.
3. Fact Check Your Article
- Check if there are any broken links in your article. The most important links are the links in your table of contents. Check them first.
- See if all the dates, numbers, proper nouns, and information are accurate. “The truth,” Dumbledore sighed, “it is a beautiful and terrible thing and should therefore be treated with great caution.”
- Check if your headline and sub-headlines are in the title case. You can use the Change the Case free extension to change the case. (Optional. Unless you’re writing for a publication that demands it).
4. Take Time Off to Distance Yourself from Your Writing
After doing all the things above, leave your draft and come back after a day or two.
And after multiple reiterations, you tend to skip a lot of material and you don’t pay close attention to your writing.
Taking time off will help you get detached from your writing and adopt a fresh perspective.
You’ll often notice huge problems with your draft after coming back later.
How to Write an Introduction
The introduction is where you sell your blog post. It’s what highlights a blog’s significance.
If you nail it, people will buy your blog. If not, you can kiss goodbye to hours of sweet reading time.
The beginning of any writing is so important that copywriting genius, Eugene Schwartz often spent weeks writing the first 50 words of an ad.
Now, let’s go through a few things you can do to write captivating introductions.
The Best Length for The Introduction
Your introduction is the last place you want to write filler words. Your introduction needs to be concise and direct, just like your headline. So, choose your words meticulously.
Furthermore, your blog introduction should be under 80 words according to Word Counter, Kounal Gupta, and the University of Central Queensland.
You can bend this rule when you’re writing a story-type blog. But never when writing a how-to guide or list post. People come to these kinds of blogs to know specific things or to solve their problems. They won’t read your 300-word introduction. So, don’t bother writing it.
Why You Should Write Your Introduction Last
Introductions address a lot of intricate things like the audience you’re writing for, the subject you’re writing about, and your unique point of view. You won’t know all of those until you write the complete blog post.
So, I suggest you write the into last.
The Structure of an Introduction:
Yes, the introduction has a structure too. And it looks like this:
The Hook/Lead
It’s the most important sentence of your blog after your headline and sub-headline. It’s often used as a Sub-headline too.
What can you include in your hook?
Questions:
Good questions make people think. They make people nod and get them hooked.
If you’re writing about how to do more pushups, “How many pushups can you do?” would be a good question to ask in the lead. But if you write, “Do you want to learn how to do more pushups?” your readers might get irritated.
So, make sure the question you’re asking is not dull, obvious, or out of context.
Stats:
Stats are a great way to show you mean business. They instantly build authority. Especially if you add a link to the source.
SEO expert, Neil Patel often uses stats in his hooks.
Analogies:
Analogies connect two different things for better understanding. They’re great for adding a bit of imagination at the start of your blog.
Example:
- Finding a good blog post can be like finding a needle in a haystack.
- Writing a good blog post is like bathing an elephant.
Expert Quote:
Just like stats, quotes from credible experts can make you look knowledgeable. So, adding quotes is another option.
Transition
You can do the following things to transition from your hook:
- Agitate pain points. Your Blog is a solution to people’s problems. You need to make them understand how severe that problem is. And then you’ll tell how your blog will solve that problem.
- Cliff hanger: Spark enough curiosity in the reader to urge them to keep on reading.
- Story: Adding a story to your transition will build trust and make your article seem relevant. You can write your own story. But writing someone else’s story will do just as well too.
Your transition can include a few sentences and will be the bulk of your introduction.
Thesis Statement
This is where you invite the reader to read your blog. This is the core message of your blog post. State in your thesis statement, whatever your blog post seeks to accomplish.
As an example, you can check out the last paragraph of my introduction.
Further reading: How to Become a Better Blogger: Start With a Thesis (hubspot.com)
The Table of Contents
Even if you don’t write an introduction, write a table of contents, (i.e., if you’re writing a non-story-type blog post).
People will know exactly what’s in your blog without scrolling if you do so. Almost all of HubSpot’s blogs have a table of contents. Other high-ranking blogs like Wix or WordPress routinely add a table of contents to their blog post too.
(This isn’t technically a part of the introduction though).
What Not to Write in An Introduction
- Don’t write a dictionary definition. People don’t read articles to understand the meaning of words. They read articles to fix their problems, learn things, and for entertainment. Writing a dictionary definition, especially in the introduction, is a total waste of words.
- Don’t write about the obvious things. Be creative and unique. Stating the obvious will take out a lot of points from your credibility. (Though Neil Patel suggests the opposite, I stick to my assertion).
How to Write a Conclusion
So, you’ve written a lengthy blog and edited it. All that’s left is the conclusion. And most readers will be a bit lost after reading for 5-10 minutes. They’ll forget most of what they read. Therefore, it’s your job to deliver your loyal readers an awesome conclusion.
But how do you write your conclusion?
Your conclusion can include 3 parts👇.
The Takeaway/Summary
You can write a summary at the end of your blog post, but you shouldn’t reiterate your blog post.
Just write the most important takeaways of each section in your conclusion and give actionable advice they can do right away.
I’d suggest writing your summary with bullet points.
Write a CTA
A person who reads your whole blog post will often be susceptible to a call to action. And so, you can ask him or her a little favor at the end of your blog post.
Your CTA can include:
- Links to other blog posts you want your readers to read
- Email newsletter signup
- A teaser if you’re writing another article
- A close-ended question for generating comments
- Donation Request
- A link to your sales page
- Social media follow request
- Or anything ethical
But don’t write multiple CTAs in your conclusion. 1–2 should be enough.
Reference Section
And finally, you can add a reference section at the end of your article. You can list all the videos, articles, books, or any other resources you’ve used to research your article.
This is optional for blog posts because we can embed links to sources in the texts of our articles.
Lastly,
I’ve covered a lot of info in this article. Though they are only the tip of the iceberg. But if you’ve read till the end, you should be able to write a praiseworthy blog post from scratch.
As a fair warning, you can rearrange a few steps I wrote in this article according to your preference; write in that order, but you will suffer the consequences if you skip any of the steps.
Thanks for reading. And if you want me to write about any other blogging-related topic, feel free to leave a response.
