7 Great Tips For Writing A Killer Blog Article
Killer blog post is a key to traffic on a blog that could be written so well and it should contain all the flavors that are needed by the general audience.
What is killer blog post?
Killer blog post is a post that can boost the traffic on your blog and it may bring lots of exposure through various social media sites like Digg, Stumble Twitter and Facebook. Killer post is not a post with correct grammar and lots of words. Killer post has unique style, containing lots of information at one place, having lots of link backs, so that readers can get some better resources.
How to write killer blog post?
Well it is very difficult to answer this question because there are different strategies exist among bloggers to write and market their post. But certain points taken in mind while writing and promoting your post.
1. Make a list of resources
Resources are really important if we are going to write something which is going to hit the internet wildly. You should have collection of data and proper back links so that you can really connect the blog post through several other articles.
2. Content
Content is always the king. A blog post with lots of Grammar and spelling mistakes and too long descriptions are never going to work. Try to make your points small. Write a blog post that would stay in readers mind for a long time. The chances are high that they will link your article in their future post. Try to make a list post. 40 free Twitter apps or Top 10 twitter background design is most common kind of killer post.
3. Headline of the post
Well, the headline of the post is another big thing. Make your headline killer if you want to make your post killer. For example suppose in a blog post you are telling your readers about blogging tools used for blogging. There could be two possible headlines: (1) Blogging tools, (2) 25 Amazing and killer blogging tools. Which one sounds better? Obviously second one; the chances are high that other user retweet the article by other twitter users without having any look on the post. Headline will make everything easier.
4. Try to increase your list
If you are making any list post, try to make a huge list. If you are listing some useful 10 websites in a particular field, try to make it 20. People like more. 10 is common, if it would be 20, 30, 40 then it will spread viral in social media.
5. Add effects
People love effects, add more and more effects. Effects should be in a form of images, video, presentation, slide shows. It will definitely going to warm the reader’s eye while reading an article.
6. Linking
Linking a blog post to other post is very important. The link could be inbound or outbound depends on the nature of the post, but make it sure that it will useful for other readers. Don’t link to any old crap articles which has nothing to do with the current article. Try to link your article to some other killer article. It will make it authorize post. It is also good for SEO.
7. Promotion and networking
Promotion and marketing is very important after publishing the article. Immediately after publishing the post try to tell all the people in your network about your blog post. Try to send the tweets to fellow bloggers in direct message and ask them to RT it. Try to spread the post in Facebook and reply all the comments you get. It will increase popularity of post and the chances are high that your post will come at the sidebar on your Facebook friend. Ask your readers to take part on Digg, Reddit, Stumble, Delicious to give the greatest exposure to your post.

7 worthwhile pointers there. The trick it coming up with the worthwhile content thats unique.
Yup ! Unique content and title gets much RTs and Diggs !
That is true, readers today don’t want to read monotonous content like history or philosophy books. What if the history books would be written in the way that “100 big mistakes that our ancestors made” and put all the history under it! Oops a good blogging idea
Exactly Tejaswini !
Writing an article in an unique way always wins !
I had a doubt regarding the 6th point , should we link the posts to our own site posts or other blogs posts.
If in our blog only then if we try to write a first killer blog post then it would be difficult to link to other posts of our blog which is not a killer post. Can you be little more clear about this???
Thanks for the guidance Himanshu
Link related articles.. no matter which blog’s articles they are…
And linking articles other than killer ones won’t be an issue Sunny !
ok , thanks
People like more and more stuffs. Make it 100 if can.
One must keep in mind to make use of first paragraph. It should contain your all important keywords plus a brief introduction. People will judge you from the first paragraph of your article(search engine also).
Yup, First impression is the best impression !
