Recently, I was sitting around thinking about all the things that go into a good blog post. I decided to make a list. Here are a few things that you need to think about when you write a blog post:
- Choose one or two keywords and focus your blog post on those.
- Write a blog post that is high quality; length doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you write a blog post that people will enjoy reading.
- Take your primary keyword and write an attention-getting blog post title.
- Will you be using a graphic? Be sure to choose a graphic that enhances your blog post, doesn’t distract the reader from your message, and doesn’t dominate the blog post.
- Try to include a relevant link in your blog post to a landing page on your website and include anchor text.
- If you do write a long blog post, break it up into sections so that you have h2 or h3 tags that also utilize your keywords. I’d say you should include no more than 2 or 3 paragraphs before adding another subhead to the blog post.
- Will you be quoting other sources, other blogs? If so, be sure to give attribution either by mentioning the URL, linking to the source, naming the author or website of the source, or some combination of the above.
- It’s usually a good idea to include bullet points if you have a lot of points to make.
- Do you want to emphasize certain points in your blog post? If so, you might want to bold or italicize those points you want to make.
When you are writing a blog post, it is helpful to think of who you are writing to. What is your audience? Think of one person who can benefit from your blog post and write as if writing to person. For more information on blog writing, visit BCP at www.blogcontentprovider.com.
