Writing blog posts should be enjoyable and fun, I think I am doing OK because I always follow 5 step formula of writing a blog post. By doing this writing a post has become more fun and effectively.
In my opinion, writing a post could be as simple as baking cookies, but much more difficult the next. Professional bloggers would tell how they enjoy writing, yes they really do. But why you have a painful experience of writing, you may think what is wrong with you?
Writing is a lot of fun. I personal enjoy writing very much, so I think that maybe I should help beginners a little bit on writing posts. Here are my 5 step formula of writing a blog post:
1. Gather Ideas (What to Write)
First, I think that the most difficult part of writing may be deciding what to write about. Blogging is interesting because you could use it in many different ways. You could use it as a personal journal, you could also use it as a place to share your thoughts and feelings. Anyway, you could do anything you want with it, including making money from blogging. Lastly, if you really don’t have things to express, that is OK to put short articles of interest for others to read.
If you use your blog as a journal, I think that you don’t need any plan. You could probably start writing anything any time anywhere you want. But when you want to be a real blogger, you want to express your opinions and views with your blog, then you will need a plan, and gather ideas.
Try to create a list of ideas that interest you. Use them to determine what to write. After picking up a topic, make a quick outline of main points in your heart or write it down. This step seems a little bit tedious, but it will make the following steps go much more quickly, so I recommend that you not to skip it.
2. Choose a Tone
After you have chosen your topic and have created an outline, then you will need to choose a tone. The most successful bloggers are always writing in a casual tone, which is a very welcoming idea to most non-professional writers. When doing this, don’t worry about grammar rules, Simple choosing a tone is just like the one you would use when speaking to your friends. And the tone should be friendly. Keep it your style may make your blog unique and special.
3. Write Your Post
When relax and sit down to write posts, don’t forget the tone you chose. Keeping tone in your mind, put your topic ideas and outline in front of the post. So that people could see what you are talking about and decide to read it or not.
You should try to keep your posts short and sweet. Because nowadays people are too busy and them won’t have hours to read your long story, they love short and sweet things, maybe that is why micro blog like Twitter is so popular in all over the world.
When writing posts, make sure your writing is unique and personal, because people like to read fresh stuff and ideas. If your articles could interest them, they may follow you for long. Then your readership will be built.
4. Review Your Work
After you finish your writing, you should always review your work. You may make some funny mistakes when writing, and reviewing may help you to find out and fix those mistakes. A professional blogger any time find out his mistakes will fix it at once, and they always encourage readers to point out mistakes which he made. That is really a great habit of professional bloggers. Although they are already very successful, they still remain modest.
5. Publish Your Post
Well, the final step would be publish your post. I personal use Wordpress as my blog platform but I don’t very like to write with Wordpress, so I always use Windows Live Writer to write and publish my posts. It is very powerful and it supports full feature of Wordpress. To be honest, it saves me a lot of time in writing posts.
Here, don’t think that I am advertising for Microsoft, no, I don’t like it at all. What I mean to say is if your blog platform it not very well in post editing, you could use an offline blog editor like Windows Live Writer to deal with post writing. There are some other blog editors out there, Zoundry is one of them.
Well, you may think that these 5 steps are very simple, but they are really very useful to me. If I skip one of them, I will have problems in writing. So I get used to the habit of following 5 step formula to write posts. You don’t have to copy mine, but I recommend that you get used to your own good habit of writing, sooner you will find that writing is not boring at all, it is so much fun!
