Blogging has never been difficult for people, who love to write and
share their personal thoughts, knowledge, and make others to share their
opinion as well via blog commenting. However, on many occasions, it has
been found that new bloggers especially, find it difficult to share
their posts with a large section of blog post readers. This eventually
discourages them at the initial stage itself, and some bloggers leave
this ‘so enticing’ online platform in the midst of everything, whereas,
some stick to it and look for the ways to achieve what they actually
desire for. For that reason, we all should appreciate their level of
commitment and zeal to become a successful expert in their niche.
In the world of bloggers, there are various reasons behind failure;
however, there are only a few of them behind success. In any work you
do including blogging, success can only be accomplished by dedication,
determination, and devotion towards your work. If you ever lack in any
of the three must required skills, you will start to taste the downfall.
Moreover, some people think that there is always a shortcut to success
but they forget to remember that shortcuts can be effective for short
run only, whereas, to survive and accomplish the main goal, you must
have an impeccable plan for the long run.
Apart from this, to be successful in the blogosphere, blog writers
need to be creative, active, a great reader, tech savvy, a quick
learner, adaptive in nature. The online platform is full of innumerable
bloggers, who write and share their piece of writings on a daily basis,
and most of those writings cover a common but hot topic (which is in
trend). Therefore, your approach towards your blog posts must be
creative, which can make it unique from others.
Though, there are various things, which should be considered by the SEO content writers while writing a blog post,
but this article talks about the 10 most crucial points to craft a blog
post. If you’ll follow these points, your blog post will act as a
magnet to pull people towards it from each and every direction.
1. Set you Aim: This
is what your blog will revolve around. Decide if you want to share your
personal thoughts or want to cover topics, which are of general
interest.
2. Select a topic: Though
a blogger can always write on any topic, but every blogger has a
personal interest in some topics, for instance, let us assume you have a
personal interest in the topic ‘SEO’, you would be well aware of the
latest trends and techniques being used in SEO. So always begin with
topics you have personal interest in, as this will make it easier for
you to write and share, what you actually know, rather than that you
might have come to know from friends of friends.
3. Catchy post’s title:
This is certainly the most crucial part of a blog post, as that is what
attracts the user towards a post when they see it in an RSS reader or on
search results.
4. The First line: This is what impresses the reader to read, once
he moves past the post title. If your first or opening line is not
impressive, the chances are high that the reader will either move on to
another post or blog.
5. Say it in points: Most
bloggers tend to write big articles detailing as much as they can,
which often confuses the reader. It is always better to mention main
facts or tips in point. This will make it easy for the reader to
understand the entire post short.
6. Call to action: Driving
your blog reader to perform some action on the blog post eventually
leaves a good impression in his mind and helps you to make strong
relationship with them.
7. Quality: Always
re-check your blog post for grammatical errors, and you find any, fix
them as soon as possible, even if you have already published the post.
8. Timing of the post: Follow
the trend to write and publish your posts on time. For example;
recently Google released ‘Penguin’, the updated algorithm for its search
engine, and if you are going to write about it after a year, it will
neither be able to attract readers nor it will rank higher on Google.
9. Promotion: Once
you have published you post, use innumerable ways available to promote
it on search engines and make it reach the targeted audience.
10. Conversations: This
is where the real action begins after you publish your post. Interact
with readers who leave comments on it. This will help you to make people
aware of knowledge and skills you possess in your niche.
Once you start following all the above mentioned points, you’ll
notice the surge in your blog posts readership, and how people enjoy
engaging with your content. This will eventually increase your blog
traffic and ranking in search results, and that is what every blogger or article writer aims for.
