Introduction

Knowing your audience and solving their problems is the key to writing a good post. Only after we have a good understanding of our audience, then work on the post title; next, is the content making sure it is SEO friendly and related to the audience's need. 

Who is my audience?

• people who have just started building a blog for interest
• people who want to develop an online store for their products  
• people who want to learn online business

7 Tips for writing a great blog post:-

• Pick a relevant topic and a good headline:  The theme should be helpful and exciting, helping target readers solve their problems. Most importantly, don't duplicate any content already on your blog. You don't have to write about something completely new. A fresh angle will make your post different and exciting. People make headlines the way they speak. It is a don't. Chop off the fluffy words. The headline should be concise and to the point. Some good places to get relevant ideas are Google Search and Quora.

• Write an introduction that gets the audience's attention: Tell a story or a joke to get the reader's interest and attention. We don't want to see readers leaving in the article's first few sentences. 

• Write in short paragraphs: Most readers will skim a blog post before committing to reading it. Posts with a lot of white space are easier to look at and are more likely to keep readers on that page. The visual appeal of your blog's content can be just as important as the content itself. Write your blog post in short sections. Sometimes, blog posts can have overwhelming information for the readers. In such a case, bullet points help organize the data, so readers are visually relieved.

• Provide attribution:  If you use the information from another blog, make sure you link back to the original source. 

• 6 Add images: A picture is better than a thousand words is an old idiom. Yes, the human brain is more likely to process visual content faster than text-based content. That's why adding photos to your blog post can help boost your engagement. There are many excellent free resources for finding high-quality free images in Creative Commons and Google Image Search. 

 

• Don't make grammar mistakes: Simply writing a blog post and hitting publish is a bad habit to avoid. Don't edit right after you've finished writing. Allow yourself time to see the position more objectively. Grammar is essential for establishing your credibility and blog content. Here we have another pair of eyes Grammarly who can do the editing job for you. I use this tool to check out the grammar and common mistakes before hitting the publish button. It saves time.

• A thoughtful conclusion: Writing a conclusion is as hard as writing the introduction. The easiest way out is to summarise all the points. You may end with a final thought, provoking a question, or a call to action.
