Welcome to the Blogging Mindset podcast,where I hope you gain clarity, focus,
and inspiration to boost your blogging results. Welcome to another episode of the
Blogging Mindset podcast, the podcast whereyou and I explore the world of blogging
one challenge at a time, andtoday we're diving into a classic challenge that
every blogger faces, writing a highquality blog post. This is playing off
(00:24):
of yesterday's Mindset Monday Episode, Episodeforty two, Quantity Versus Quality and Blogging.
So you've decided to take on theblogging challenge of writing a high quality
post. It can be intimidating,but no worries, fellow blogger. I've
got some tips and tricks to helpyou navigate this journey. Step one is
setting the foundation before you even startwriting. It's crucial to lay a solid
(00:47):
foundation, research your topic, thoroughly, know your target audience, and to
find the purpose of your blog post. Is it to inform, entertain or
inspire. Having a clear goal willguide your writing and if you really want
to set yourself apart from competitors,incorporate original research and content into your foundation.
You could do this by surveying Facebookgroups, structuring a blog post around
(01:07):
a YouTube video or infigraphic sourcing originalinformation using harrow and using Google Trends to
find trending data for your blog post. Step two is that structure matters.
Now that you've got your foundation inplace, let's talk structure. A well
structured blog post keeps readers engaged.Start with a compelling headline followed by an
attention grabbing introduction. Outline your mainpoints and organize them logically. Make sure
(01:33):
you always use subheadings, bullet points, and images to break up the content
for easy reading. And if youneed help with blog post structure, I
highly recommend reading the backlink O guideson how to write a blog post and
SEO copywriting. Step three is thewriting process. Ah the writing process.
This is where the magic happens.Write in a conversational tone to connect with
(01:57):
your audience. The easiest way todo this is by easy the talk to
text feature on Google Docs. Thisnot only makes you write in a conversational
tone, but it also drastically improveswriting speed. Make sure you start by
freewriting. This is where you'll writeNonStop, dumping everything from your head without
editing until you are done. Iusually set a ten minute timer, open
(02:19):
Google Docs, turn on talk totext, and say everything about the subject
that I can think of. Afterwards, remember to be concise and eliminate unnecessary
fluff. Edit ruthlessly. Your goalis to deliver valuable content efficiently and provide
a professional, welcoming user experience toyour readers. Now. Step four is
(02:40):
polishing and perfection. So after drafting, it's time to polish that blog post
of yours, starting with the basics. Proofread for grammar and spelling errors.
Then check the flow and coherence ofyour content by saying everything out loud.
If you want to take it astep further, have someone read it back
to you and provide honest, constructivecriticism from here at relevant internal and external
(03:05):
links, citations, and visuals.If you want to make the content really
stand out, include one or multipleinfigraphics related to the top queries related to
your blog posts. Images and relevantYouTube videos will also further enhance your user
experience and SEO, which is whatyou're striving for when creating a high quality
blog post. Put simply, yourgoal is to make your blog post visually,
(03:27):
pilling and easy to navigate. Stepfive is to engage your audience.
Engagement is key to a successful blogpost. Always encourage readers to share and
interact with your content, include acall to action, and build a community
around your blog. Even something assimple as a Facebook group can make a
big difference. Step six is furtherpromotion and SEO. Writing a fantastic blog
(03:53):
post is only half the battle.Promote it on social media through email letters
and by collaborating with others in yourNiche also optimize your post for search engines
by using relevant keywords and image alltexts to improve its discoverability. Lastly,
if this is a blog post youstrongly care about ranking high for then consider
(04:14):
doing a link building campaign via harrow, being a guest on podcasts, or
using a broken link building strategy.And there you have it. Fellow blogger,
