Step 1: Planning

Planning is critical to ensure mastering every task, and writing a good blog post is no different. However, before starting, remember that the entire writing process (from the idea to the final posting) can often take hours or even days to complete. So, even if you can write 70-80 words a minute with great writing skills, it is important to spend quality time planning your blog post and its content. Listed below are a few things to consider:

• Select a topic that interests you.
• Write a rough outline for your blog.
• Do Your Research.
• Double-Check the Facts.

Step 2: Give Your Blog a Great Headline

Almost everyone can have varied opinions about headlines. Some people vouch for making headlines as specific as possible. Others recommend following a more abstract approach. In general, there are two ways (or rather timing) to write your blog’s heading: 

• Before writing your blog.
• After writing your blog.

The best approach is to be flexible both ways and stick to your inspiration. If you can come up with a powerful headline from the outset, go with it! If not, writing your entire blog can help you give a dramatic heading to it in the end. 

However, remember to keep your targeted audience (or readers) in mind when selecting your blog’s headline.

Step 3: Strategize Your Content

Once you have researched and selected your headline, now is the time to start writing. Again, there are two ways to write a blog — you can write the entire blog in one sitting or chip away at it gradually. 

Try getting as much done as possible in a single sitting to stay focused and avoid forgetting the critical points to include in the blog. Once done with the first draft, you can take ample time (as much as your deadline allows) to revise it and add relevant details wherever necessary. 

Sounds like a challenging task? Don’t worry! Digital marketing experts are here to your rescue to help you write the most interesting blog posts for your business.

Step 4: Use Effective Images

One of the most critical reasons to add relevant pictures to your blog post is to break up the long text and make it look more engaging. In this era of the Internet and short attention spans, most people will only read your blog post if it includes something that stimulates the mind; visual media, like images and videos, does that. If you need more clarification about what comprises a great picture for your blog, consider taking the assistance of a well-experienced blog writer or a digital marketing agency to ensure creative and effective posts for your business.

Step 5: Quality Check

While writing a blog is difficult, editing it and putting it through an unbiased quality check is even more challenging. Some people mistakenly assume that editing a blog is about simply checking for grammatical errors and adding or removing a few words/ lines here and there. While these are equally important, editing a blog post is more about seeing your entire blog as a single piece, eliminating repetitiveness, and ensuring it is informative and readable for your targeted audience.
