The very first thing you need to do is choose a topic from your area of interest or anything that will attract your blog audience.

The best way to plan your blog post is to write down everything that comes in your mind. So take up a pen and paper and get started!

It’s time to organize your thoughts. So make an outline to know what comes first in the blog post and what can be included later.

Do extensive research on the topic to make sure you have known as much as you could. It helps you write a credible post.

A headline allows you to keep your content aligned. Wherever you feel you are distracting from the actual topic, the headline will keep you focused.

If you cannot come up with a compelling headline at the beginning, start with a simple working title that relates well to your outline.

As you write, keep noting down words and sentences that come in your mind and can make good headlines.

As you start writing, use an outline as a guide and not as a permanent instructor. You can always add or remove what you think you should. An outline is not your final draft but an organized plan.

While writing, gather more information regarding your topic. As you get into details and feel the need to know more, open your browser instantly.

A blog post is never credible without facts. Even if it is a narrative, you can include the facts. These act as a backbone of a solid blog post.

Online writing tools such as Power Thesaurus, ZenPen, Grammarly and Cliché Finder, etc. offer you alternative words, keywords, formatting, grammar check, and whatnot.

Images are necessary when it comes to a blog post. However, use them effectively to complement your blog post.

Visuals such as images, videos, and GIFs should keep your content coherent. Do not add an image just because it looks good. Look for meaning and purpose.

There must be as much content as visuals, so remember not to stuff visuals. There must be a balance between content and visuals. Avoid stuffing!

Before you start editing, give your mind some time. Always start editing with a fresh mind. Take a break for an hour or two, so that your mind is refreshed.

Avoiding repetition is important. Remove all the repeated words and sentences. Find alternatives and make changes.

Read your blog post aloud to check if it has a good flow. A good flow keeps readers engaged and interested.

A blog post, no matter what type, should have short paragraphs. At maximum, a paragraph is of 4 to 5 lines. So break up long paragraphs into short ones effectively.

Offer a friend or an instructor to read your blog post. Welcome positive critique and make changes as desired. This makes your blog post better.
