Writing a successful blog is hard.
It's not always easy to know what to write about, and it can be difficult to find a way to make your blog stand out from the crowd. But don't worry! We've got you covered with these simple tips:
1. Write about what you love. If you're passionate about something, chances are that your readers will be too. Don't just write about topics that interest you—write about topics that excite you!
2. Be consistent with your posts. Readers like consistency because it helps them feel like they are part of a community, and it also makes them more likely to visit your blog on a regular basis.
3. Don't be afraid to experiment with new formats and mediums—they may surprise you! If something doesn't work out right away, don't give up—just try again until you find something that works for everyone involved: writers, readers and marketers alike!
Here is a simple framework you could use:
1). Introduce
All great stories, landing pages, and writing in general start with a problem.
So should your content.
By starting with the problem, you open a curiosity loop.
People want to find the solution to the problem you presented.
This will hold more attention.
2.How do you best illustrate a problem?
- Tell a personal story of when you experienced the problem
- Talk about how the problem impacts people's lives
- Explain the pitfalls and traps of not fixing the problem
Make people aware of their problems so you can provide a solution.
2.2) Educate
You have to understand that 95% of people on social media are in the "beginner" phase.
In order for them to fully understand and implement the actionable steps you are going to give them
You must educate them to the point of understanding the topic.
Think about it.
If I want to talk about writing (in step 3), I have to educate the reader on:
领英推荐
- How they can use my advice
- The benefits of writing (why you write)
- What opportunities writing can present
People implementing your advice = results = brand authority.
-3) Simplify
Quick tip:
If you are a beginner writer, creative, or solopreneur, the best way to establish authority (and grow quickly) is with lists.
People. Love. Lists.
I bet you've seen 10+ lists today without even knowing why people write them.
Write out a list of steps that will help someone solve the problem you illustrated above.
It helps to be creative and have some sense of uniqueness.
Sit with it and think, "If I could go back in time, how would I solve this problem?"
This list can be endlessly repurposed into shorter writing
4.4) Bonus Tip
Have a idea capture system in place to store:
- Good ideas
- Anecdotes and stories
- Interesting facts and quotes
These will help you transition between sections and keep the reader engaged.
Great share, Alex!
