Have you ever read anyone on my blog post and found, Hey! They all follow a similar format. And you know what, it's not out of coincidence, it's for a reason. Because that formula helps me generate at least
37,000 visitors per blog post. Do you wanna know that formula on how I write the perfect blog post?

How to write a blog post from start to finish. Now before we get started, Now, I have a question for you: How many of you have written a blog post before?  Because you know what, whether you have written a blog post before or you haven't, and I'm still curious in how many of you written one, I'm gonna share with you the perfect formula that I follow for my own blog. It works for a B2C ,B2B,
a personal blog or a corporate blog, it works for everything. I kid you not, it is the best formula out there.

First tip: Start off with a title. Don't just start writing a blog post, unless you have the exact title, do not write your blog post. Eight out of ten people will read your headline, but only two out of ten will click through or read the rest of your article. Doesn't matter how amazing of a blog post you write, if you don't write a good headline, no one's gonna read the rest of your post. All comes down to your headline or title, or whatever you wanna call it. If you need some creativity, go to a grocery store and check out a magazine.

When you go to a grocery store when you're checking out, you see all these magazines! They have amazing titles with How To, Livspace, articles like & Lose weight in 30 days & How to shed five pounds fast! Doesn't matter what kind of magazine they are, whether it's a business magazine or whether it's a fitness magazine, or a gossip magazine, they all use catchy titles. And that's what you need to do with your blog post. And look for magazine for inspiration. I stick with the basics.

I use How To a lot, I use Livspace posts, those two things have worked wonders for me, and they haven't got old. So start with the title. And you don't have to just create one variation of it. You can create two or three variations, and that's what I do and I ask people hey, what do you like, I'll ask a few friends, then I pick the best one and that's what I go with. The second step that you need to follow when
it comes to writing a blog post is the introduction. In your introduction, you need to hook people with a bold statement.

And with your introduction, it's not just talking, hooking people in. It's also about talking about what's gonna be covered in the post. Just give them a quick overview on what you're gonna teach them, is a great way to hook them in, as well, to get them to go more into your blog post, read more, and ideally,
even leave a comment at the end of your post. Now that we got the introduction done, let's get into your body. Your body should include subheadings. Keep in mind, you want your content easy to skim. If people can't skim it, you're not gonna do well. In your body, use subheadings, and keep your paragraphs
around five to six lines max. In addition to that, when you're writing your content in your body That's part of my formula, it's not just about linking to your own site, it's about linking to other sites. Because what happens is when you link to other websites, you open up your sources, you're citing them, it creates more credibility for you, makes you and your business look more as an expert, and that's what you wanna be perceived at when you're writing content.

Last but not least, you wanna wrap up your post with a conclusion. The conclusion summarizes what your post was about, and you end your conclusion with a question. By ending with the question, more people are more likely to leave a comment. When they leave a comment, it creates engagement. By getting engagement, you're much more likely to generate sales. If people read your blog but they don't engage with you, they're not likely than to become a lead, or buy your products, or your services.

So it's really important you end with a question. And here's what we found with conclusions. Brazing Crazy Egg, we use a scroll mat feature, and what we found through testing was, a lot of people read blog posts, when they first land on them, they quickly scroll to the bottom, check out the conclusion,
and then they go back up and read the rest, assuming they like the conclusion. So with your conclusion,
make sure you label it. Don't get fancy, keep it simple. Just call it a good ole' conclusion. And that's my formula to writing blog posts! It's not that hard. Now one thing I did mention within this whole process of writing blog posts, that you need to link up to other sites. And here's a bonus tip: I know this goes a bit above just writing, but very few people do it. When you link up to other people, it flatters them.

People love getting back-links, because when you link out to someone, it drives in more traffic. Especially when you're linking to them in a positive way. Hopefully you're not bashing people in your blog post. Stay above that. So when you link up to them, shoot them an e-mail.

So you want to write your first blog post? But don’t know how to start, right? Writing your first blog post can be challenging..

#1 Decide what to write

If you have never written a blog post earlier, the first challenge is to decide what you’ll
write about. Pick something you are passionate about and already love reading, talking, or listening
about. If you are passionate about something, you’ll love writing about that as well.

#2 Have Subjective Knowledge

Before you start writing about any particular topic, you need to have prior subjective knowledge about that topic. If you already know about that topic, that’s perfect, if not, go and read other blogs, magazine articles, books, anything you can get information from. Do your research and once you have collected
the information, start writing.

#3 Write Headline First

9 out of 10 people will read the headline and only 3 out of them will read the content. So always start with a catchy headline that attracts readers attention. If your headline is not attractive, no one will read your article. Also, writing the headline of your blog post first makes sure you don’t go away from

the topic.

#4 Start Writing

Most people spend hours, days, or even weeks to write their first article, why? It’s because writing for the first time can be fearful and lots of negative thoughts come to the mind. But you don’t need to overthink, simply get yourself out of any fear and start writing.

#5 Make Article Skimmable

Proceed with proper content that readers will love. A good piece of content is between 500 words to 1000 words, anything less than 500 words is bad for SEO perspective and more than 1000 words
is annoying to readers. So break them in small paragraphs and make the article skimmable so that readers don’t find it boring.

#6 Be Yourself

When you are starting to write your first blog post, it’s easy to get attracted towards other successful writers and copy their writing style. But don’t try to copy anyone’s style. Write in your own style, be yourself because your writing style is your brand.

#7 I and You Rule

While writing contents, always think as if you are talking directly to the reader and the reader is sitting before you. This makes your article interactive and you'll be talking directly to your reader. Use (I and You) throughout your article.

#8 Use Attractive Images

Use images in your blog posts because “Images do the talking” and sometimes they do the explanations in a much better way than what your thousands of words can’t do. So use images in your blog post to make it more beautiful and professional as well.

#9 Formatting Tips

If you ever visited those boring websites from 90s era, you must have noticed how tough it is to read those articles as the writer didn’t format the articles for better readability. Don’t be one of those writers.
Use proper writing formats and consider: using bullet points to make it simple and catchy, bold letters to emphasize, headlines categories such as h1, h2, h3 etc. whenever required Proper formatting is crucial as it makes a good impression and provides a better reading experience.

#10 End with Call to Action

What a reader should do after reading your blog post? Don’t keep them hanging in the middle, let them know what to do next. Always end up with a call to action. A call to action can be anything depending upon your preferences but not more than one. End up your blog post motivating your readers to do something like asking their views about the topic, asking a question, or simply a request to share your blog post.

So these were the top 10 tips to write your first blog post.
Hope you’ll learn from these tips and will be able to write your first blog post.
