How to create a blog article.

A blog article is an easy-to-read informal piece of writing. It should be clear and compelling with relevant titles, subtitles and hook lines. It should show the human side of a business, educate the reader, reveal expertise and build credibility.

How to:

  • Choose your topic

  • Look at what other people are writing about

  • Research your topic

  • Decide on word count, depending on the topic, anything from 500 to 2000 words

  • Be aware of plagiarism and copyright

  • Use images that you own or purchase

  • Quote the source of important information like statistics or recommendations

  • Consider SEO when choosing titles, subtitles, keywords and phrases

  • Choose a tone and style of writing

  • Spell check

  • Use contributors if relevant

  • Brainstorm with a team to discuss topics if helpful

  • Ask someone to check your article and get feedback if you aren't a confident writer

  • Use a copywriter if preferred

  • Think of a beginning, middle and end

  • Recycle old content

  • If the articles are for marketing purposes, end with a call-to-action, give the reader answers to potential questions

  • Insert links to other articles or areas on your website

  • Use hook lines, engaging sentences and persuasive writing

  • Be creative and different if the topic lends itself to that

  • If you don't want to write a blog article but still want to publish on your blog page, try vlogging. People enjoy watching short informative videos

  • Review your article when published. Update statistics, links, costs, descriptions or any changes that should be shared

  • Use your blog articles or vlogs as a social media asset

  • Use your website analytics to find out what content you are publishing is popular. Find out what isn't popular and don't waste anymore time on those topics
