its time for you to write a blog post... YOU CAN DO THIS!

below are some snippets i have gathered for you

 

How to structure a blog post

Have a clear introduction

Every blog post should have a clear introduction that maps out what your blog post is about. Some writers also include an anecdote or explain why they’re an authority on the topic.

It’s a good way to draw your reader in and show them why they should follow your advice and not someone else’s. It’s also something

Use headings

The average attention span in 2019 is just eight seconds. That means most people won’t have the attention span to read your post, no matter how much work you’ve put into it.

So how do you get their attention? Include an active verb and try to squeeze some of your key topic words in as well.

Sub-heads help create a scanable page and make it easier for people to read on a computer screen and digest the information.

Headings allow users to skim your post and refer back to the points they’re most interested in. They should be enough to whet their appetite, nothing more. The longer you make your headings, the more difficult you make it for readers to skim read.

Keep paragraphs short

The shorter your paragraphs, the easier they are to skim read.

This is one of the main ways that blog writing is unique, keep short paragraphs, with the goal of several paragraphs to reach a word count over of over 1500 words per article.

Blog writing isn’t about making paragraphs as long as they need to be, it’s about breaking it up in appropriate places so that your readers find your post easy to digest.

Longer paragraphs, much like longer headings, make skim reading hard.

Write in plain English

The longer, more complicated your sentences are, the more difficult it is to retain your readers’ attention.

Keep it simple. Always.

Use compelling imagery

Using imagery that ties in with your points breaks up your blog post and helps to keep your audience’s attention. Pretty images also catch someone’s eye as they scroll through and give them a reason to pause.

However, all images used in your post should relate to the contents of your post in some way.
