6 quick writing tips for #blogging

If you want to be a good blogger it is important to develop your writing skills so that you can not only write better, but write faster. The more content you can get up on your blog, the better for traffic, and the happier your viewers will be. Here are some methods you can use to help you write your blog faster without giving up quality posts.

Develop a Keyword List – It’s imperative that you know what keywords you’re trying to rank for when you write each post. Keywords should be chosen based on your niche, but also on what your target audience is looking for. Each post should include keywords, as well as your titles for your post. Having a list of keywords at the ready can help you know what to write about faster without having to give it much thought.

Get creative with your headlines – Starting with a keyword rich title is the best way to get started writing a blog post fast. By looking at your keyword list that you developed earlier, you can just start at the top and you can write your headline faster. Don’t worry you can always change the title later if you need to, just get started.

Decide on the Topic – Based on the keywords that you chose will choose the topic but not necessarily the kind of post. You can then choose whether it will be a video blog, a written post, or a podcast interview with an expert about that subject. When writing a post about a particular topic it helps to know if this is a “how to”, “informational”, or “experiential” in nature.

Start Write – Start writing whatever comes to your mind. If you start with a list of what you know about the topic, you can then fill in with the meat. Try ending your sentences with your chosen keywords for which you want to rank. Try writing a group of posts at once about the same topic and keyword. Once the flow of creativity starts there is no reason to interrupt it.

Edit Later – Don’t edit as you go, instead, write in a free flow form, and then let it rest and go back and edit later. After you’ve given your mind a break, re-read your blog posts with fresh eyes. Remember, even after your blog post has gone live, you can still edit it, even years later.

Length – Blog posts don’t have to be Tolkienesque in length, you can write a quick blog post to tell your readers about something exciting, or quickly share a new product, or just share a funny photograph, there is no reason to worry about length although my blog coach will not let me post anything less than 150 words. The important thing is to get keyword rich content that provides value to your readers on your blog.
