Everyone has a hobby and when the hobby turns into a passion can do a miracle.

In this article, I’ll teach you How to write a Blog Post and some tips to engage your audience.

Whether you write for your inner peace or to earn money, blogging is the best way to connect with the outer world.

There are some basic elements which are needed to be considered before writing a blog.

We’ll be looking at a few tips that can help us to write a great blog post to engage the audience and to rank in Google.

Before starting you can also have a look at How to Start A Blog.

Let’s get started

1. An Eye Holder Title or Headline

This is the first thing which you decide before writing and this is well said that “FIRST IMPRESSION IS THE LAST IMPRESSION” so your title should be catchy in the audience which turns the audience helpless to click on and read on. It gives you the structure of your writing.

(a) Use Numbers and do an experiment

If you are writing a blog about giving methods of doing something the best way to give the title is by giving the number of methods you are about to write. For example

If you are going to a grocery shop, college, school or anywhere else try to have a look at magazine headline, article headline, etc. This will help you to decide your attention-grabbing title.

(b) Use words which take out your reader from the problem

Creating a post for this needs creating a headline that instantly solves their confusion. For example, you can use words like- Free, Strange, Effortless

Like you can go through my previous posts which are as follow:

(c) Use Wh family Words

You can use words like What, How, When, Why. For example:

  • What Is Raspberry Pi? Working and it’s applications.
  • What Is Hosting? and Why It Is So Important?

(d) An Idea giving Headline

Your title must tell the readers about the main body of your writing. For this you can use words like:

  • Reasons
  • Facts
  • Principle
  • Ways

(e) Direct Headline

Sometimes giving a direct title to your post also help because in this the readers get the total idea of about what you are writing. For example, you can click on the post:

  • Education System in India
  • Need of Today’s Humans.

2. A good opener and leading paragraph

In order to write a blog post. It is always worth to start your blog arising a question or giving quotes. It will lead the traffic to find the answer or the solution to the question that you arise. This directly leads them to read the full post.

In the main body of your paragraph try to give them the results of the survey. Be original and be clear.

3. Bullet and Supporting Points

It is good to write bullet points in your blog. Your points should not look like paragraphs, this is the information which you want to highlight in your paragraph and seems important to you and to your readers too.

Bullet points should be of one to two lines which immediately gives the idea about what you want to convey.

4. Break into Sub-Headings

Sometimes what happens is that the reader is in a hurry and needs more information.

He does not have enough time to go through fully of your post then in this case Sub-Headings can give them all that they want.

5. Think like the Reader

Arise question to yourself that what you want in a post if you read out that.

After doing the questionnaire to yourself, what comes as a result put it down in your post. Being a reader is the only way to connect yourself to the reader.

6. A Good Call to Action

To get more traffic and to know if readers like your views a good call is necessary to them so that they respond immediately. You can invite them to subscribe to your blog or tell them to share via their networks by calling them in a clear and concise way.

For example: If you find these helpful in any way, do share and comment.

7. Edit and Review

It is said that “Be confident but don’t be overconfident” so it is always a positive point to re-read your post so that if some error occurs you can apply corrections to it.

Editing your old, as well as new posts, make it more informative and the reader finds it more helpful.
