Are you someone who wants to write a blog that will take the internet by storm? Well, this is the wish of every new blogger.
When I wanted to write a blog, I had no idea where to start. I explored almost every website, and then I reached a conclusion that made me stand out.
In this blog, I will show how you, as a beginner, can write excellent blogs. By ‘excellent’, I mean how you can generate traffic and be on Google’s top results.
Why Are You Even Writing The Blog?
So, whenever you start writing the blog, pause and think for a moment about the purpose of writing the blog. Do you want to share information and build a community for like-minded individuals, or do you just simply want to express yourself?
When your purpose is clear, it will be much easier to navigate with your audience.
When you have figured out what your intent of writing is, you should know the intent of your reader as well. Do some deep research and understand why someone will read your blog in the first place.
How To Start Writing The Blog
There are almost 7 basic steps that every blogger takes
Step 1: Select Your Topic
The first and foremost thing that comes to anyone’s mind when he wants to write is “What should I write about?”
Don’t think much about this. If you don’t have any topic to write about, just go to Google Trends and see what’s happening there. That’s how you can take part.
Think about your interests and what you are most passionate about. Look down to other social media apps like X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc. See what’s trending there. Find new stories, take inspiration, and just start writing.
Step 2: Choose An Appealing Headline
Once you are done with the topic, spark the curiosity of your reader merely by the headline. This compelled him to open the article and read it fully.
After all, who cares how good your blog is if no one is going to read it?
To grab attention, you can use numbers, lists, and digits. For Example: 10 Ways To Reduce Your Body Fat.
You can also use certain words in your headings, such as:
- Reasons
- Ways
- Tips
- Tricks
- Secrets
- Ideas
To push your reader to dive deep into your blog.
Step 3: Introduction
To push your reader to dive deep into your blog, you should write your introduction in such a way that your audience will be immediately hooked and want to read more.
You can do this by:
- Making a bold statement
- Starting with a question
- Stating a problem
- Using metaphors
- Leading with Statistics
Almost every blog starts with an introduction, if your introduction is not captivating enough, the reader will immediately leave your site. And, as a content writer, you will not want this.
Step 4: Create Your Outline
It would be an ideal approach if you outline your blog.
When you already have structure in your mind, the writing process will go smoothly. Make sure to divide your article into small sections with subheadings. In this way, you can monitor the article easily. Also, make sure to make your headings descriptive.
Step 5: Add The Details
Now, when you have created the outline, just start filling the details in it. An ideal strategy would be to include the data if available, to prove your stance. Additionally, if you add the source, it will be the icing on the cake. Not only will it have a positive effect on your article, but it will also create backlinks.

In the end, write for humans and not robots as your read is emotional and needs sentiments. When you have finished the article, give it a proper format. Try not to make it robotic. 🤖
