Steps to write a perfect blog post-
1. Decide the title: First thing you need to do is to find a topic for your blog post. It could be anything, it could be related to any category for example: science, commerce, spiritual, health, medical line and technology etc.
From where you can find topics?
Topic can vary depending upon one’s choice; one can write on trending topics and other may find it difficult, some people like only to write on specific topics depending upon their interests.
You can use previous trends to find topics. For that you can use free and paid tools. Free tools are such as Google Trends and paid are SEMrush etc.
Both free and paid tools are based upon approximate data.
2. Write a catchy title: After that next thing you need to do is to write a catchy title for your post/article because title plays important role in attracting audience.
Title should be catchy so that it can drive attention. How you can select a catchy title; look for the keyword you are working on. Observe what top ranking sites are doing to maintain their ranking and how they are delivering content. After observing all these things select a catchy title for your blog post/article.
3. Create an outline: Outline simply means a description of the most important facts or ideas about something. Or a line that shows the shape or outside edge of something/somebody.
You have to make an outline of your blog post which includes introduction, main content/points, advantages & disadvantages at the end you have to make a conclusion. That’s what outline means.
4. Introduction: In this part first thing you need to do is define what your topic actually means. You need to keep your introduction interesting so that people don’t lose/lack interest. Give a brief introduction about topic it will help your reader to have a knowledge and what s/he can expect from that particular post.
5. Headings and subheadings: After doing all these things make headings and subheadings because it will help reader to solve their queries quickly and to jump on particular portion/section its because maybe they don’t have time to read full article.
6. Conclusion: Conclusion means an opinion that you reach after thinking about something carefully. Based upon your keyword and article what people are looking for make a conclusion so that they can summarize everything in short.
7. Proof-reading and editing: The most important part of making a perfect article is proof-reading and editing because, there are some mistakes it could be grammatical error, systematic error etc.
While editing you can add or provide external links of trusted sources to support your points so that your article can become reliable.
-Make sure inserted links are working properly.
8. Plagiarism check: It means the act of copying another person’s ideas, words or work and pretending they are your own; look for tools which helps to scan plagiarised data such as Dupli checker, seo plagiarise scan etc. It’s a crime and make bad impact on your website.
So, write a post carefully don’t copy and paste try to make it on your own. Because there are very few chances someone can write same as of you.
When you provide quality over quantity you can become famous/known for your content it will help you to create authority and to grow your audience.
