How to write a good blog

These days, just about everyone has their own blog. With an estimated 2 million blog posts
being posted online every single day (I know, crazy right!?), knowing the secrets of creating
a killer blog post is more important than ever if you truly want your blog to be successful.

Here are some guidelines to help you write and structure your blog posting:

Structuring your blog posting


A well-structured blog posting will catch the readers' attention, and make them want to
read what you have to say. You can help do this if you follow these tips:
• Give the blog posting a direct and enticing title that will catch the reader’s eye. The
tricky part is striking the perfect balance between a relevant title and an exciting one –i.e fun, funny,
ironic or controversial.

• Put the main point in the first paragraph. This is the first thing readers see and it will make
them want to read on. In other words, the perfect blog post will let readers know what they are
about to enjoy right away.

• Put the details in the following paragraphs of your posting.


• Stick to the point and keep length in mind –i.e., be concise and stay on topic. Keeping
your post to an appropriate length is crucial.

• Write a short but suitable conclusion.


• Organize your post as a list if you want. Make your different arguments into numbered
or bulleted points, or include bolded subheadings. Top-ten lists and rankings are interesting
to readers and give the post a clear reason to be read to the end.

Writing style
• Try to write in a friendly and informal style. Use first person ‘I’ and try to include
reference to your own context.

• Try to describe rather than tell. For instance, instead of saying you thought a book was
great, try to explain why you enjoyed it and what you learned from it.
• Use keywords in your title and throughout the body.
• Be original. Make your post unique! Don’t simply say what everybody else is saying. The
perfect blog post will make your audience stop and think. It will conjure some sort of
emotion and make readers talk amongst themselves.

Things to avoid
• Always try to avoid being negative. If there is something you don’t like, then it’s better
just to not write about it.

• It’s important to raise issues, but don’t try to impose your beliefs on others.
