How to write a blog; A simple Formula to Follow

According to ignite Spot 77% of internet users read blogs, 6.7 million people blog on blogging sites,
and 12 million people blog via social networks.

Blogging Is clearly here to stay.

As Marketers, blogging is essential for outer jobs--but it isn't easy. We have to come up with a topic,
write something engaging, optimize it to SEO (search ebbing optimization(SEO) is the process o if
affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search a engine's "natural" or
unpaid("organic") search results), and take a ton of other steps to make sure we are writing the best
possible post that stands out from other similar topics online. There are 6.7 million people blogging,
yet we have to stay original.

Though We cannot explain blogging to a science, there are certain steps you can follow to makes
sure it has essential components necessary to perform well. Here are 10 steps that can get you on
the write path to blogging like a pro.

Step 1: Understand your audience.

Before you start to write, have a clear understanding of your audience. What do they want to know
about? What will resonate with them? This is where creating your buyer personas comes in.
Consider what you know about your buyer personas and their interests while you are coming up
with a topic for the blog post.

For instance, if your readers are looking to start their own business, you probably don't need too
give then information on getting started on social media--most of them already have that down. You
might, however, want to give them information on how to adjust their approach to social media
from a more casual, personal one to a more business savvy, networking focused approach. That
tweak is what separates you from blogging about generic stuff to the stuff your audience really
wants (and needs) to hear.

Are 2: Start with a topic and working title

Before you do anything, you need to pick a topic for your blog post. The topic can be pretty general,
but it is essential to come up with a few topic ideas to get you started. After you choose one to run
with, you need to create a working title. What’s the difference? A topic is general, while a working
title may have been something like "The process for selecting a Blog Post Topic." And the final title
ended up being "How to choose a Solid Topic for your Next Blog Post."

See that evolution from topic, to working title, to final title? Even though the working title didn‘t end
up being the Final title, it still provides enough information so you can write your post around
something more specific than a generic topic.

Step 3: Write an intro (and make it captivating).

First, grab the reader's attention. If you lose the reader in the first few paragraphs of the
introduction, they will stop reading even though they haven't given your post a fair chance. Then,
show the purpose of the post and explain how it will address a problem the reader may be having.

This will give the reader a reason to keep reading and give them a connection to how it will help
them improve their work.

Step 4: Organize your content.

Sometimes, blog posts can have an overwhelming amount of information -for the reader and the
writer. The trick is to organize the info so readers are not intimidated by the length or amount of
content. The organization can take multiple forms -sections, lists, tips, whatever's most appropriate.
But it must be organized!

Let's take a look at the post, "Productivity Tools and Techniques to Stop Wasting Away Your
Workday." There is a lot of content in this post, so we divided it into 4 sections: Checking Email;
Blocking Distractions; Sourcing Content; and Meetings, Collaboration, and Brainstorming. The
sections are then separated into sub-sections that to go into more detail, but also make the content
easier to read and less intimidating.

Step 5: Write the content.

The next step -but not the last is actually writing the content. We couldn't forget about that, of
course.

Now that you have your outline, you're ready to fill in the blanks. Use your outline as the guide and

be sure to expand on all of your points as needed. Write about what you feel comfortable talking
about, and do additional research, if necessary, to gather more information.
Step 6: Pick a catchy title.

We have a simple formula for writing catchy titles that will grab the attention of your reader. Here‘s
what to consider:
